Intended Use

Intended Use:
The XSTAT-12 is intended for the control of bleeding from wounds in the groin or axilla that are not amenable to tourniquet application in adults and adolescents.

Indications for Use:
XSTAT-12 is a hemostatic device for the control of severe, life-threatening bleeding from junctional wounds in the groin or axilla not amenable to tourniquet application in adults and adolescents.

XSTAT-12 is a temporary device for use up to four (4) hours until surgical care is acquired. It should only be used for patients at high risk for immediate life-threatening from, hemodynamically significant (Advanced Trauma Life Support class 3 or 4 hemorrhagic shock), non-compressible junctional wounds, and when definitive care at an emergency care facility cannot be achieved within minutes.

XSTAT-12 is NOT indicated for use in: the thorax; the pleural cavity; the mediastinum; the abdomen; the retroperitoneal space; the sacral space above the inquinal ligament; or tissues above the clavicle.

Device Description

The XSTAT-12 dressing is composed of a standard, regenerated cellulose medical sponge that is compressed and formed into a group of approximately 38 minisponges. Each minisponge has a height of 4-5 mm and a circular surface diameter of 9.8 mm. The minisponges absorb blood upon contact, and within approximately 20 seconds expand to their pre-compressed height of 40-50 mm. The minisponges expand only in length, not radially. Each minisponge absorbs approximately 3 mL of blood. Each minisponge contains a radiopaque marker for easy detection via X-ray. The XSTAT-12 dressing includes an applicator and plunger that facilitate delivery of the minisponges to external bleeding wounds. Individual applicators are filled with the STAT-12 minisponges and are packaged in a vacuum-sealed foil pouch with one (1) plunger, terminally sterilized by gamma radiation to a sterility assurance level of 10°. The inner pouches are then packaged inside a larger outer pouch, along with one (1) casualty card and one (1) package insert. The Instructions for Use (IFU) are affixed to the outer pouch.

For the treatment of severe. life-threatening bleeding from pelvis or shoulder wounds not amenable to tourniquet application, the XSTAT-12 sponges are applied to the applicator. Once applied to the wound, the XSTAT-12 sponges absorb blood and expand, thereby packing the wound. All minisponges must be removed from wounds before surgical repair and closure of the wounds. Following removal of the minisponges and definitive surgical repair of the wound, a radiograph is required prior to wound closure to confirm that every minisponge has been removed.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the "test set" for the XSTAT-12 device. Instead, it relies heavily on equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (XSTAT 30, K152624, and reference device DEN130016/K130218).

  • Mechanical Testing: Performed on the XSTAT-12 applicator in expected use scenarios and extreme temperature conditions. No specific sample counts for each test are provided.
  • Biocompatibility Testing: The battery of tests for the XSTAT-12 applicator included Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, System Toxicity, and Hemocompatibility. Specific sample sizes for these tests are not provided.
  • Minisponges & Animal Study: The XSTAT-12 minisponges are stated to be identical to the predicate device. Therefore, the testing and data provenance for these aspects are implicitly derived from the predicate's clearance. The original provenance for the predicate data is not detailed in this document.

Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. The studies mentioned (mechanical, biocompatibility) appear to be conducted specifically for this device and its predicate.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts:

This information is not provided in the document. The studies primarily involve mechanical and biological testing, rather than human expert interpretation of medical images or conditions for establishing ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method:

This information is not provided. As the studies are primarily about device performance in mechanical and biological contexts, an adjudication method for human interpretation is not applicable here.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through engineering, mechanical, and biological performance data. There is no mention of human readers, AI assistance, or comparative effectiveness with or without AI.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:

Not applicable. The XSTAT-12 is a physical medical device (hemostatic sponges and applicator), not an algorithm or AI. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not relevant.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established through:

  • Mechanical performance standards: Demonstrating the applicator functions as intended under various conditions.
  • Biocompatibility standards: Proving the materials are safe for biological contact.
  • Material properties: Verifying the minisponges (identical to predicate) meet specifications for radiopacity, absorption, expansion, etc.
  • Animal study results: (from predicate) demonstrating hemostatic efficacy.

This is primarily empirical evidence against pre-defined physical and biological criteria, rather than expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the typical sense of AI/imaging studies.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This device is hardware (sponges and applicator), not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

Not applicable. As the device is not an AI algorithm, there is no training set or ground truth in that context.

Device Description

The XSTAT-12 dressing is composed of a standard, regenerated cellulose medical sponge that is compressed and formed into a group of approximately 38 minisponges. Each minisponge has a height of 4-5 mm and a circular surface diameter of 9.8 mm. The minisponges absorb blood upon contact, and within approximately 20 seconds expand to their pre-compressed height of 40-50 mm. The minisponges expand only in length, not radially.

Individual applicators are filled with the STAT-12 minisponges and are packaged in a vacuum-sealed foil pouch with one (1) plunger, terminally sterilized by gamma radiation to a sterility assurance level of 10°. The inner pouches are then packaged inside a larger outer pouch, along with one (1) casualty card and one (1) package insert. The Instructions for Use (IFU) are affixed to the outer pouch.

For the treatment of severe. life-threatening bleeding from pelvis or shoulder wounds not amenable to tourniquet application, the XSTAT-12 sponges are applied to the applicator. Once applied to the wound, the XSTAT-12 sponges absorb blood and expand, thereby packing the wound. All minisponges must be removed from wounds before surgical repair and closure of the wounds. Following removal of the minisponges and definitive surgical repair of the wound, a radiograph is required prior to wound closure to confirm that every minisponge has been removed.

Performance Data

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination and as required per 21 CFR 878.4452.

Mechanical Testing

Mechanical testing was completed on the XSTAT-12 applicator to verify the safety and efficacy of the XSTAT-12 applicator design when used in expected use scenarios, as well as in extreme temperature conditions.

The following mechanical tests were performed and demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the XSTAT-12 applicator and device:

  • Deployment Force Testing o
  • Plunger Axial Force Testing o
  • Tip Tensile Strenath Testing o
  • Fluid Immersion Testing O
  • Wound Volume Testing O

The STAT-12 minisponges are identical to the predicate device. Thus the testing defined in the Special Controls (as per 21 CFR 878.4452) related to minisponges (radiopacity, immunogenicity, absorption capacity, extent of swelling, expansion force/pressure and viral inactivation testing for animal-derived materials) has been demonstrated by the premarket clearance of the predicate device (K152624 and reference device DEN130016/K130218). The testing provided in the cleared XSTAT 30 notification (K152624) is incorporated herein by reference.

Biocompatibility Testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the XSTAT-12 device was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993. 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing," May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The XSTAT-12 is an external communicating, limited duration (≤ 24 hour) contact device with potential for contact with tissue and/or bone, and indirect contact with circulating blood.

{5}------------------------------------------------

The battery of testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity O
  • o Sensitization
  • Irritation o
  • System Toxicity o
  • Hemocompatibilitv O

The biocompatibility of the XSTAT-12 applicator was demonstrated per ISO 10993 for external communicating, limited duration (≤ 24 hour), blood-contacting devices.

The XSTAT-12 minisponges are identical to the predicate device. Thus the biocompatibility testing (as per 21 CFR 878.4452) of the XSTAT-12 minisponges has been demonstrated per ISO 10993 by the premarket clearance of the predicate device (K152624. reference device DEN130016/K130218). The testing provided in the cleared XSTAT 30 notification (K152624) is incorporated herein by reference.

Animal Study

The XSTAT-12 minisponges are identical to the predicate device. Thus the animal performance testing of the XSTAT-12 (as per 21 CFR 878.4452) has been demonstrated by the premarket clearance of the predicate device (K152624, reference device DEN130016/K130218). The testing provided in the cleared XSTAT 30 notification (K152624) is incorporated herein by reference.

Substantial Equivalence

The XSTAT-12 is as safe and effective as the XSTAT-12 and XSTAT-12 and XSTAT 30 have the same intended use and indications for use, similar principles of operation and similar technological characteristics. There are no differences to the minisponges used in XSTAT-12 as compared to XSTAT 30, with the quantity of sponges per applicator being the only difference. The differences between the XSTAT-12 and XSTAT 30 predicate device do not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness because the use of a smaller applicator design with fewer minisponges raises the same questions of safety and effectiveness as the predicate device. The minor differences in the applicator are based upon a similar, svringe-like design to aid in the delivery of the XSTAT minisponges to the wound, but with a smaller diameter to allow XSTAT minisponges to be used in smaller diameter wounds. Thus, the XSTAT-12 is substantially equivalent to the XSTAT 30.

Conclusions

The XSTAT-12 is as safe and effective as the predicate XSTAT 30 device. The intended use and indications for use are the same for both XSTAT-12 and XSTAT 30, with similar principles of operation and similar technological characteristics. The Substantial Equivalence Summary table below details and compares the XSTAT-12 to the XSTAT 30.
