Intended Use
OTC: PRO QR Powder for minor external bleeding from wounds and procedures is intended for use as a topical dressing for bleeding control associated with minor wounds, including control of minor external bleeding and exudate from sutures and/or surgical procedures. Rx: PRO QR Powder for moderate to severe external bleeding wounds is intended for emergency use of temporary external treatment for controlling moderate to severe bleeding.
Device Description
Components - QR Powder is composed of two main components: potassium iron oxyacid salt, and a hydrophilic polymer. Mechanism of Action - QR Powder achieves its principle intended action (hemostasis) by creating a physical barrier or seal to stop the flow of blood. When poured on a wound and upon contact with blood or exudate, in combination with manual pressure to the wound, QR Powder quickly forms a strong seal that completely covers the wound.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and chemical properties of the powder and its mechanism of action as a physical barrier for hemostasis. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is intended to control bleeding from wounds, which directly addresses a physiological function (hemostasis) to treat or mitigate a condition (bleeding).

No

This device is a hemostatic agent intended to stop bleeding by creating a physical barrier; it does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a powder composed of physical components (potassium iron oxyacid salt and a hydrophilic polymer) and its mechanism of action is based on forming a physical barrier. There is no mention of software as a component or its primary function.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for controlling external bleeding from wounds and procedures. This is a direct therapeutic action on the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Mechanism of Action: The mechanism of action is creating a physical barrier or seal to stop blood flow. This is a physical interaction with the wound, not a chemical or biological analysis of a sample.
  • Device Description: The components and description focus on the physical properties and interaction with blood at the wound site.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. The device is applied directly to the wound for treatment.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device does not fit that description.

5.5 Device Description

Components - QR Powder is composed of two main components: potassium iron oxyacid salt, and a hydrophilic polymer.

Mechanism of Action - QR Powder achieves its principle intended action (hemostasis) by creating a physical barrier or seal to stop the flow of blood. When poured on a wound and upon contact with blood or exudate, in combination with manual pressure to the wound, QR Powder quickly forms a strong seal that completely covers the wound.

5.6 Intended Use

PRO QR Powder for minor external bleeding from wounds and procedures is intended for OTC use as a topical dressing for bleeding control associated with minor wounds, including control of minor external bleeding and exudate from sutures and/or surgical procedures.

PRO QR Powder for moderate to severe external bleeding wounds (Rx) is intended for emergency use of temporary external treatment for controlling moderate to severe bleeding.

5.7 Substantial Equivalence

PRO QR Powder has substantially equivalent indications to the HemaDerm (K021678) and QuikClot (K013390) predicates in that they are indicated for topical application as an aid in the control of temporary external bleeding associated with minor to severely bleeding wounds. PRO QR Powder (K080210) uses the same safe and effective technology as PRO QR (K070520). The subject and predicate devices are made from materials which have demonstrated satisfactory biocompatibility, are highly absorbent for collecting body fluids, and are sterile, single use devices.

5.8 Performance Testing

5.9 Conclusion

PRO QR Powder induce hemostasis by fluid dehydration, protein coagulation and agglomeration the same as PRO QR (K070520) predicate device. QR Powder has been shown in testing to be equivalent to, if not better than, the QuikClot Powder predicate device in rapid hemorrhage control in a swine model of lethal arterial extremity. In addition study results for safety showed that QR Powder provided a significant advantage over QuikClot. Safety and efficacy was also demonstrated for bleeding control in vascular access procedures using a swine model both acutely and subchronically (2 Biolife, LLC believes that, as a result of the biocompatibility weeks). testing, in vitro testing, and non-clinical animal testing, PRO QR Powder is safe and effective as an aid in the control of temporary external bleeding associated with moderate to severe bleeding. PRO QR Powder is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, PRO QR Powder, HemaDerm, and QuikClot.
