No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical compression and a hemostatic patch, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes
The device is described as "intended to promote hemostasis" following medical procedures, which is a therapeutic action aimed at stopping bleeding in a patient.
No
Explanation: The device, ChitoPulse™, is designed to promote hemostasis (stop bleeding) after punctures into blood vessels. It is a compression band with a hemostatic patch, used for treatment (stopping bleeding), not for diagnosing a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device consisting of a mechanical compression band, a chitosan patch, a strap fastener, a balloon, a syringe, and a luer lock valve. It is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the ChitoPulse™ Radial Hemostatic Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- The ChitoPulse™ device is a mechanical compression band with a hemostatic patch applied externally to a blood vessel puncture site. Its function is to physically promote hemostasis (stop bleeding) and provide a bacterial barrier.
- The intended use and device description clearly indicate a direct therapeutic and physical action on the patient's body, not an analysis of a biological specimen.
Therefore, the ChitoPulse™ device falls under the category of a therapeutic or surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
ChitoPulse™ is a mechanical compression band incorporating a hemostatic chitosan patch. The compression band and chitosan patch are positioned over the radial access site and secured in place by a strap fastener. Addition of air to the compression band balloon provides rapid bleeding control by localized compression.
The chitosan patch provides adjunct bleeding control to the balloon compression and provides a barrier against bacterial penetration by a wide range of gram positive and gram negative organisms.
Compression is applied or reduced using a syringe and luer lock valve to add or remove air volume to or from the balloon. Once hemostasis has been achieved, compression may be reduced by gradual removal of air from the balloon.
ChitoPulse™ is a single use device. Once hemostasis is achieved, the compression band is intended to be removed leaving the hemostatic chitosan patch in place. The hemostatic chitosan patch can be secured in place with a securement dressing for up to 24 hrs.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
To demonstrate substantial performance equivalence to the predicate devices, biocompatibility and bench top testing was performed. Performance testing included:
- Biocompatibility testing
- Pressure equivalence testing ●
- . Bacterial barrier testing (chitosan patch)
Biocompatibility testing for ChitoPulse™ has been conducted in accordance with the FDA Guidance Document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing", June 16" 2016 and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process" as recognized bv FDA. Categorization of the device by nature of body contact deduces that ChitoPulse™ is a surface contacting device, device is intended for limited contact (≤ 24hrs). Cytotoxicity, intracutaneous irritation, sensitization, and acute systemic toxicity were performed by contract testing laboratories per ISO 10993 standard protocols.
The barrier properties of the chitosan patch have been demonstrated in vitro using AATCC Test Method 100-2004, Antibacterial Finishes on Textiles - Evaluation of (Technical Manual of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists). The results of the test demonstrated the chitosan patch is capable of preventing bacterial penetration.
Benchtop pressure equivalence testing was performed to demonstrate that ChitoPulse™ applies equivalent pressure as the predicate Vasc Band Hemostat device. The tensile strength of the ChitoPulse™ strap was also evaluated and demonstrated to be equivalent to the predicate Vasc Band Hemostat device.
No clinical data was required for evaluation of this device.
