Intended Use
The Combat Ready Clamp is indicated for use in the battlefield to control difficult bleeds in the inguinal and axilla areas.
Device Description
The CRoC™ is designed to be used by emergency medical personnel in the battlefield. The device is designed to control bleeding in anatomical areas where standard tourniquets cannot be used. The device can be used instead of manual pressure, allowing the medic to attend to other injuries. The Combat Ready Clamp is used to control a difficult bleed for up to 4 hours until the injured can be transferred to evacuation personnel or other medical personnel for further treatment.

No
The summary describes a mechanical device for controlling bleeding and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used to control difficult bleeds, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device is designed to control difficult bleeds, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one. It is used to manage an existing condition rather than identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly describes a physical "clamp" used to control bleeding, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Combat Ready Clamp is a mechanical device used externally on the body to control bleeding. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to control bleeding in specific anatomical areas, not to diagnose or detect a condition through laboratory analysis.

Therefore, the Combat Ready Clamp falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Herzog:

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 interstate commerce 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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
