Intended Use
The VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device is indicated for use by medical professionals to promote hemostasis following a catheterization or other puncture into a blood vessel in a patient's arm, including radial artery catheterization, arterial or venous line removal, hemodialysis, and in patients on anticoagulation therapy.
Device Description
The VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device is an ergonomic, simple device that is adhered to the patient's skin directly over a percutaneous vascular puncture site and allows the application of adjustable compression to the puncture site to achieve hemostasis. The device is composed of a flexible thermoplastic base that has the ability to conform to the patient's anatomy (e.g. lower arm, upper arm, etc.) and is secured to the skin with biocompatible, hypoallergenic adhesive pads. A plunger component passes through the base, applies targeted pressure to the puncture site through a ratcheting mechanism, and can be adjusted with one hand to apply the appropriate pressure necessary to promote hemostasis. VasoStat has the ability to vary the amount of pressure applied to the puncture site to promote hemostasis while minimizing the risk of thrombosis. The device design and materials ensure that the product is comfortable for the patient to wear while their puncture site stops bleeding. Once hemostasis is achieved (in approximately 15 to 45 minutes), the device is easily removed and discarded.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical compression and does not mention any computational or data-driven components.

Yes
The device is used to promote hemostasis following a puncture into a blood vessel, which is a direct treatment for a bodily condition, aligning with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No.
The device's intended use is to promote hemostasis following a catheterization or other puncture, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (flexible thermoplastic base, plunger, adhesive pads) and a mechanical mechanism (ratcheting mechanism) for applying pressure. This indicates a hardware-based device, not a software-only one.

Based on the provided information, the VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is used to promote hemostasis (stop bleeding) following a puncture into a blood vessel. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device that applies pressure to a puncture site. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The VasoStat™ does not perform this function.

The VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device is a medical device used for a therapeutic purpose (promoting hemostasis).

Summary of Performance Studies

A domestic swine model was utilized for in vivo assessment of the VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device in comparison to the Terumo TR Band (predicate device). Vascular sheaths were created in the femoral arteries and veins, and in the jugular veins. The sheaths were removed and either a VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device or a Terumo TR Band placed. Both devices achieved hemostasis in the approximately 5.8 minutes (average). These results demonstrate that the VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device and the predicate device are substantially equivalent.

Biocompatibility testing (per ISO 10993) performed on the device demonstrated, that the VasoStat Hemostasis Device is safe for the indications of use, and was found to be non-cytotoxic, nonreactive and non-sensitizing by ISO Cytotoxicity, ISO Intracutaneous Reactivity and ISO Buehler Sensitization testing, respectively.

Dear Mr. Mason Diamond:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in-interstatecommerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
