Intended Use
The Hemoclip is indicated for endoscopic clip placement within the digestive 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 digestive 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, Spring hose near clip end, Connect end, Plastic Coated Spring Tube / Spring Tube and Handle part. EO Sterilization and use for single use only. For our proposed Hemoclip, the release part could connect and release the clips repeatedly.

More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical function and material properties, with no mention of AI/ML or data processing.

Yes
The device is used for hemostasis, anchoring, and closure within the digestive tract, which are therapeutic interventions aimed at treating medical conditions or supporting bodily functions.

No

The Hemoclip is indicated for therapeutic purposes such as hemostasis, marking, anchoring, and closure of perforations within the digestive tract, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like "Release part," "Clip part," "Spring End," "Handle part," etc., indicating it is a hardware device.

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

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.
  • Hemoclip's Intended Use: The Hemoclip is used within the digestive tract for mechanical purposes: marking, hemostasis (stopping bleeding), anchoring, and closing perforations. It does not analyze biological specimens outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical components and how the clip is applied and released. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological samples.

The Hemoclip is a therapeutic and procedural device used directly on tissue within the body, not an IVD.

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.
