Intended Use
The Hemoclip is indicated for endoscopic clip placement within the gastrointestinal tract for the purpose of: 1. Endoscopic marking, 2. Hemostasis for: - Mucosal/sub-mucosal defects <3cm - Bleeding ulcers - Arteries<2mm - Polyps<1.5cm in diameter - Diverticula in the colon - Prophylactic clipping to reduce the risk of delayed bleeding post lesion resection 3. Anchoring to affix jejunal feeding tubes to the wall of the small bowel. 4. As a supplementary method, closure of GI tract luminal perforations<20mm that can be treated conservatively.
Device Description
Hemoclip consists of Release part and Clip part. Clip part consists of Clip and Frap Tube. Release part consists of Spring End, Plastic Coated Spring Tube / Spring Tube and Handle. EO Sterilization and use for single use only. For 510 family, the grooves on the frap tube allow the released clip could be removed by snare loops. If the clip has been deployed, but its position is not satisfactory, or it affects the field of vision, we can remove it.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and functionality, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for hemostasis, which is a therapeutic intervention to stop bleeding, and for anchoring feeding tubes and closing perforations, which are also therapeutic acts.

No

The device is primarily used for therapeutic and procedural purposes within the gastrointestinal tract, such as hemostasis, marking, anchoring, and closure, rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (Release part, Clip part, Clip, Frap Tube, Spring End, Plastic Coated Spring Tube / Spring Tube, Handle) and mentions sterilization and single-use, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices 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.
  • Device Function: The Hemoclip is a mechanical device used within the gastrointestinal tract during endoscopic procedures. It physically interacts with tissue for purposes like marking, hemostasis, anchoring, and closure.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the body. Its function is entirely procedural and mechanical.

Therefore, the Hemoclip falls under the category of a surgical or procedural device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Yanping Fu:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

1

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
