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 or lower leg, including radial artery catheterization, pedal or tibial artery catheterization, arterial or venous line removal, hemodialysis, and in patients on anticoagulation therapy.
Device Description
VasoStatTM Hemostasis Device is a 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, foot) and is secured to the skin with biocompatible 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

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and adjustable compression, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as promoting hemostasis and is used for patients following catheterization or other punctures, which are therapeutic medical interventions.

No

The device is described as promoting hemostasis and applying compression, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones. Its purpose is to stop bleeding, not to identify a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a flexible thermoplastic base, adhesive pads, and a plunger with a ratcheting mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "promote hemostasis following a catheterization or other puncture into a blood vessel in a patient's arm or lower leg." This is a direct intervention on the patient's body to stop bleeding.
  • Device Description: The device is described as being "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." This is a mechanical device applied externally to the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. The VasoStat™ device does not perform any tests on samples.

The VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device is a mechanical device used for external compression to achieve hemostasis, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

a flexible thermoplastic base that has the ability to conform to the

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.
Statement of
Indications for UseThe 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 or lower leg, including radial artery catheterization, pedal or
tibial artery catheterization, arterial or venous line removal,
hemodialysis, and in patients on anticoagulation therapy.
Summary of
Technological
CharacteristicsThe VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device is designed to provide local
compression to the puncture site into a blood vessel of the arm or
lower leg, including arterial sheath placement and dialysis shunt
access. The degree of pressure is designed to stop bleeding
without causing vessel thrombosis. The VasoStat™ Hemostasis
Device is the same as that previously cleared by the FDA
(K123041), and functions in the same way. Though different in
design, the VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device provides sufficient
compression to stop bleeding in pedal arterial catheterizations
similar to the RadAR™ Vascular Compression Assist Devices,
which also utilize compression to stop bleeding (K142122).
Performance
TestingSince this submission applies to the VasoStat™ Hemostasis
Device to revise the indications for use without any changes to
device design, the benchtop and animal testing reported in
K123041 has been leveraged to demonstrate that the submitted
device is appropriate for the new indications for use. Similarly,
biocompatibility for this device has already been established per
ISO-10993 (K123041).

Furthermore, the VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device was
retrospectively evaluated in three-hundred fourteen (314) patients
following transpedal access for peripheral vascular disease
intervention. The analysis concluded that the VasoStat™
Hemostasis Device was capable of achieving hemostasis
following transpedal catheterization with low rates of pseudo-
aneurysm and access site occlusion. |
| Substantial
Equivalence | The VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device is Substantially Equivalent to
predicate VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device (K123041), with respect
to technical and design features. The Indications for Use and
Mode of Action is Substantively Equivalent to the RadAR™
Vascular Compression Assist Devices (K142122). |
| Conclusion | The information discussed above demonstrates that the
VasoStat™ Hemostasis Device is substantially equivalent to the
predicate device. |
