Intended Use
Chito-SAM™ Active (over-the-counter use): To control bleeding of lacerations, minor cuts and abrasions. Chito-SAM™ 100 (prescription use): For use as a temporary external dressing to control moderate to severe bleeding and manage external abrasions and lacerations.
Device Description
The Chito-SAM" Gauze (refers to both the Chito-SAM" 100 for prescription use and Chito-SAM" Active for over-the-counter use) is made of a non-woven fabric derived from chitosan fibers. Chitosan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide usually derived from shellfish, and its hemostatic properties are widely recognized in the biomedical field. When applied directly on a wound with firm pressure, the Chito-SAM Gauze will turn into a gel-like condition to absorb the blood and assist in temporarily controlling moderate to severe bleeding. The Chito-SAM Gauze is provided in three (3) different sizes for prescription use and two (2) different sizes for over-the-counter use to accommodate a variety of treatment regions. The Chito-SAM Gauze is individually packaged in a foil pouch and is gamma-sterilized.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and hemostatic function of the chitosan-based gauze, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes.
The device is intended to control bleeding and manage external abrasions and lacerations, which are therapeutic actions.

No

Explanation: The device is a hemostatic gauze used to control bleeding and manage external abrasions and lacerations. Its function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device is a physical gauze made of chitosan fibers, designed to be applied directly to wounds. It is a tangible medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to control bleeding of lacerations, minor cuts, and abrasions. This is a therapeutic or wound management function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a gauze made of chitosan fibers that helps absorb blood and control bleeding when applied directly to a wound. This is a physical barrier and hemostatic agent, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on functional characteristics (absorption, strength, pH), biocompatibility, and in-vivo hemostasis. These are relevant to the safety and effectiveness of a wound dressing, not to the accuracy of a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Metrics: There are no mentions of diagnostic metrics like sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, or AUC, which are typical for IVD performance evaluation.

In summary, the Chito-SAM Gauze is a medical device intended for external wound management and bleeding control, not for performing diagnostic tests on in vitro specimens.

technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Chito-SAM Gauze is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

7.0 NON-CLINICAL TESTING

Bench performance testing included functional testing for:

  • . Liquid Absorption
  • . pH
  • Tensile Strength (wet and dry) .
  • Platelet Aggregation .
  • . Comparison to predicate devices for each of the above functional characteristics

Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 was performed for:

  • . Cytotoxicity
  • . Skin Irritation
  • Skin Sensitization .
  • . Hemolysis
  • . Acute Systemic Toxicity (intraperitoneal and intravenous)

In-vivo hemostasis testing using the swine model was performed to demonstrate the performance of the Chito-SAM product vs. the predicate devices.

Shelf-life testing, including sterilization validation and packaging testing, confirmed a three-year shelf life for packaged, sterilized product.

The collective results of the bench and animal testing demonstrate that the materials chosen, the manufacturing processes, and design of the Chito-SAM Gauze meet the established specifications necessary for consistent performance during its intended use. In addition, the testing demonstrates that the Chito-SAM Gauze does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness for its intended use when compared to the predicate devices.

8.0 CLINICAL TESTING -

Clinical testing was not required for this submission.

9.0 CONCLUSIONS

The Chito-SAM Gauze shares its design and mechanism of action with the identified predicate devices. The results of the bench testing confirm that the Chito-SAM Gauze functions to its specifications, performs as intended, and exhibits the appropriate characteristics of a wound dressing. The Chito-SAM Gauze is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of technological characteristics, intended use, and performance. No new issues of safety or effectiveness are raised by the Chito-SAM Gauze.
