The device description clearly outlines multiple physical components including a suture, hemostatic powder, a spring-loaded polypropylene device, tincture of benzoin, and adhesive dressings. It describes a mechanical mechanism of action involving pressure and anchoring, not software processing or analysis.
Based on the provided information, the SiteSeal™ Femoral Compression Device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- SiteSeal™ Function: The SiteSeal™ device is a mechanical device used externally to apply pressure to a blood vessel after a procedure. It does not analyze any biological specimens. Its function is to physically aid in achieving hemostasis (stopping bleeding).
The description clearly outlines a mechanical process involving sutures, a physical device, and adhesive dressings applied to the skin surface. There is no mention of analyzing any bodily fluids or tissues.

Device Description
The SiteSeal System consists of a Coated Vicryl™ Suture, a hemostatic powder, a spring-loaded polypropylene SiteSeal™ device, tincture of benzoin and four adhesive dressings in a non-sterile kit. Each component in the kit is individually packaged in the original sterile package. The suture is used to approximate soft tissue on either side of and just above a femoral vessel. The hemostatic powder is poured onto the access site and suture entry/exit sites to control minor external bleeding and exudate from sutures and/or endovascular procedures. The free ends of the suture (after approximating the soft tissue on either side and above the CFA with a first half-knot) are tied tightly around the polypropylene SiteSeal™ device with a second full knot to anchor the device to the skin and provide counter pressure. The internal coil springs apply invariant mechanical pressure against the 3-dimensional, asymmetric SiteSeal™ skin contact surface to induce hemostasis. The asymmetric contact surface is designed so that the physical pressure is greatest towards the heart. A polypropylene roof is placed. Tincture of benzoin and three adhesive dressings stabilize and secure the device to the skin.
Prior to the patient being ambulated, the transparent adhesive dressing, device, loose powder, and suture are removed.
Mechanism of action –
A suture is placed in the soft tissue on both sides and above the access site. The "Zstitch" anchors the SiteSeal to the skin surface creating an inverted skin "channel" aligned with the vessel.
Hemostatic powder covers the access site and suture penetrations to absorb exudate and control minor external bleeding.
The SiteSeal™ device has a three-dimensional skin contact surface that is aligned with the inverted skin channel. The device is pressed tightly against the access site while the sheath is removed.
After sheath removal the SiteSeal™ device is anchored to the access site by tying the device to the skin using the loose ends of the suture. Compressed internal springs apply pressure to the skin external to the vessel such that higher pressure is towards the heart. A polypropylene roof is placed securely over the device. Adhesive strips adhere to the roof and stabilize the SiteSeal™ device.
The springs help modulate heartbeat pressure variation without stopping blood flow through the vessel. The pressure allows continuous blood flow past the access site for a time sufficient to achieve hemostasis. Hemostasis occurs during the time that the SiteSeal™ device is deployed.
The adhesive strip is removed, the sutures are cut and removed, the device is disposed of, any excess powder is brushed off. The patient ambulates immediately.
Nothing is left in the body.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The pivotal IDE clinical study was a prospective, single-arm, nonrandomized study conducted at 2 medical centers, both of which were in the United States. The study involved patients undergoing percutaneous cardiac or peripheral vascular interventional catheterization procedures. There were 2 roll-in SiteSeal device patients, who provided training and ensured investigator familiarity with the device, and 89 pivotal ("main analysis") SiteSeal device patients. Originally the study was to enroll 90 patients, but the study enrolled only 89 patients. Two (2) pivotal patients each had 2 access sites evaluated, in the right and left femoral arteries, such that 91 access sites were evaluated in the 89 pivotal patients.
At the catheterization laboratory site, patients were screened through a standard of care medical history. After determining that the patient qualified for enrollment into the study, the investigator or delegated study personnel obtained an informed consent. There were inclusion and exclusion criteria, which included pre-procedure inclusion and exclusion criteria and intra-procedural exclusion criteria. If, after catheterization but prior to femoral artery closure, a patient remained eligible for the study, the Site-Seal device was deployed at the femoral artery access site. Follow-up for the study patients was at a visit 30 days ± 7 days after the catheterization procedure. An ultrasound sub-study was done, which involved 58 pre-procedure ultrasounds representing 2 ultrasounds in the 2 roll-in patients and 56 ultrasounds in 54 pivotal patients (with 2 pivotal patients each having 2 access sites) done at one of the study sites, and 57 post-procedure ultrasounds representing 2 ultrasounds in the 2 roll-in patients and 55 ultrasounds in 53 pivotal patients (with 2 pivotal patients each having 2 access sites) done at the office of one of the 2 principal investigators in the study. All post-procedure ultrasounds were done after discharge following the catheterization procedure, at an average of 19.5 ± 7.3 days after the catheterization procedure, with a range of 3 - 33 days post-procedure.

dressings in a non-sterile kit. Each component in the kit is individually packaged in the original sterile package. The suture is used to approximate soft tissue on either side of and just above a femoral vessel. The hemostatic powder is poured onto the access site and suture entry/exit sites to control minor external bleeding and exudate from sutures and/or endovascular procedures. The free ends of the suture (after approximating the soft tissue on either side and above the CFA with a first half-knot) are tied tightly around the polypropylene SiteSeal™ device with a second full knot to anchor the device to the skin and provide counter pressure. The internal coil springs apply invariant mechanical pressure against the 3-dimensional, asymmetric SiteSeal™ skin contact surface to induce hemostasis. The asymmetric contact surface is designed so that the physical pressure is greatest towards the heart. A polypropylene roof is placed. Tincture of benzoin and three adhesive dressings stabilize and secure the device to the skin.
Prior to the patient being ambulated, the transparent adhesive dressing, device, loose powder, and suture are removed.
Mechanism of action –
A suture is placed in the soft tissue on both sides and above the access site. The "Zstitch" anchors the SiteSeal to the skin surface creating an inverted skin "channel" aligned with the vessel.

disposed of, any excess powder is brushed off. The patient ambulates immediately.
Nothing is left in the body.
9.7 Intended Use
The SiteSeal™ Femoral Compression Device is indicated for use in the compression of the femoral artery or vein after vessel cannulation.
9.8 Substantial Equivalence
SiteSeal™ has substantially equivalent indications to the FemoStop® Femoral Compression System (K080206) predicate in that they are both indicated for use in the compression of the femoral artery or vein after vessel cannulation.
Both devices provide a focused invariant pressure to the access site. Both devices provide deep hemostasis at the arteriotomy and topical hemostasis at the skin incision site. Finally, although both devices are constructed from inert polymeric materials, the SiteSeal™ is designed to contact the smallest skin area necessary to achieve hemostasis and includes a hemostatic powder to facilitate blood clotting at the surface of the incision site. The difference in device surface contact area and the inclusion of a hemostatic powder is not considered to detract from a substantial equivalence claim.
The subject device and the predicate device are made from materials that have demonstrated satisfactory biocompatibility and are sterile, single use devices.
SiteSeal™ device achieves hemostasis by compressing the femoral vessel catheter insertion site, i.e., it has a similar intended use compared to the predicate device. Bench testing demonstrated that SiteSeal™ is similar to FemoStop® System in that both use external pressure to control blood flow through a vessel for a time sufficient to achieve hemostasis.
The IDE clinical study summarized below in the Clinical Study Section demonstrated that the Z-stitch blind suturing used with the SiteSeal™ device was safe and did not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Based on bench and clinical testing, on the similarities in the intended and indications for use and the mitigation of the risk of differences in technology characteristics as described above and clinical testing EnsiteVascular™ concludes that SiteSeal™ is substantially equivalent to FemoStop®.
9.9 Performance Testing
Biocompatibility Testing – Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, irritation and sensitization) was completed.
EnsiteVascular™= 10900South ClayBlairBlvd,Ste 800= Olathe,KS 66061
6
In vitro Testing - Bench testing versus Femoral Compression System demonstrated that both systems allow the same amount of simulated blood flow through a vessel at recommended pressures.
Bench testing showed that the compression of the 316SS springs is reproducible and consistent.
Bench testing showed that the suture bursting strength exceeds that of both springs' maximum force.
Pressure analysis of SiteSeal™ and the predicate showed that both systems provide predictably similar pressure to the site.
Endotoxin LAL Test was completed successfully.
Clinical Study – EnsiteVascular conducted a pivotal IDE clinical study to evaluate whether the SiteSeal™ device is safe to use as intended.
Pivotal IDE Clinical Study Summary
The pivotal IDE clinical study was conducted to evaluate the safety of the blind Z-stich procedure used to keep the SiteSeal™ device in place. The IDE clinical study was a prospective, single-arm, nonrandomized study conducted at 2 medical centers, both of which were in the United States. The study involved patients undergoing percutaneous cardiac or peripheral vascular interventional catheterization procedures. There were 2 rollin SiteSeal device patients, who provided training and ensured investigator familiarity with the device, and 89 pivotal ("main analysis") SiteSeal device patients. Originally the study was to enroll 90 patients, but the study enrolled only 89 patients. Two (2) pivotal patients each had 2 access sites evaluated, in the right and left femoral arteries, such that 91 access sites were evaluated in the 89 pivotal patients.
7
At the catheterization laboratory site, patients were screened through a standard of care medical history. After determining that the patient qualified for enrollment into the study, the investigator or delegated study personnel obtained an informed consent. There were inclusion and exclusion criteria, which included pre-procedure inclusion and exclusion criteria and intra-procedural exclusion criteria. If, after catheterization but prior to femoral artery closure, a patient remained eligible for the study, the Site-Seal device was deployed at the femoral artery access site. Follow-up for the study patients was at a visit 30 days ± 7 days after the catheterization procedure. An ultrasound sub-study was done, which involved 58 pre-procedure ultrasounds representing 2 ultrasounds in the 2 roll-in patients and 56 ultrasounds in 54 pivotal patients (with 2 pivotal patients each having 2 access sites) done at one of the study sites, and 57 post-procedure ultrasounds representing 2 ultrasounds in the 2 roll-in patients and 55 ultrasounds in 53 pivotal patients (with 2 pivotal patients each having 2 access sites) done at the office of one of the 2 principal investigators in the study. All post-procedure ultrasounds were done after discharge following the catheterization procedure, at an average of 19.5 ± 7.3 days after the catheterization procedure, with a range of 3 - 33 days post-procedure.
The primary safety endpoints were 1) common femoral artery laceration (or needle puncture) and 2) common femoral nerve puncture causing an incident of involuntary leg muscle contraction with auditory response, resulting from blind placement of the Z-stitch in the soft tissue above the femoral bundle.
The secondary safety endpoints were 1) patient discomfort evaluated at a) discharge from the catheterization lab and b) 24 hours post-procedure (per 24-hour phone interview), using a scale of 0-10 with 10 being intense pain, and 2) the 30-day incidence of major complications and the 30-day incidence of minor complications (per patient follow-up visit).
