No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and clinical application of a hydrogel, with no mention of AI or ML components.
Yes
The device is indicated for the "symptomatic management of rectal mucositis", which directly addresses a medical condition to alleviate symptoms.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a gel that forms a protective barrier to manage symptoms of rectal mucositis, and its performance studies focus on its therapeutic effect (reducing bleeding and improving symptoms), not on diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a sterile gel composed of a synthetic peptide and sterile water, delivered via a prefilled syringe and endoscopic catheter. This indicates a physical, non-software component as the primary medical device.
Based on the provided information, PuraStat-RM is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "symptomatic management of rectal mucositis," specifically providing a protective barrier over rectal mucosa. This is a therapeutic or palliative function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is a sterile gel applied directly to the rectal mucosa to form a physical barrier. It does not analyze samples of human origin (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide diagnostic information.
- Mechanism of Action: The gel forms a barrier upon contact with physiological fluids. This is a physical interaction, not a biochemical or immunological reaction used for diagnosis.
- Performance Studies: The performance study focuses on the device's ability to improve rectal bleeding and reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes, which are clinical outcomes related to symptom management, not diagnostic accuracy.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. PuraStat-RM does not fit this description.

Summary of Performance Studies
The safety and effectiveness of the use of PuraStat-RM as a hemostat to control rectal bleeding after radiation proctopathy (RP) was evaluated in the United Kingdom, in a prospective, consecutive, open-label, single center case series between June 2018 and September 20191. Consecutive patients attending pelvic radiation disease clinic with severe refractory RP were offered treatment with PuraStat-RM. Twenty-one patients were treated ((18 men; 17 prostate, 2 vaginal, 2 rectal; median age 76 years (range 47-84)) with a median of three treatments. Ten were on antithrombotics, 1 had thrombocytopenia and 13 had anaemia at baseline. PuraStat-RM was applied endoscopically at four weekly intervals, with more as required. The median time from first PuraStat-RM treatment to final follow-up information is 12 months (range 3-18). No patients were lost to follow-up. For those patients >12 months beyond their first PuraStat-RM treatment. only one has had recurrence of sigmificant bleeding. Of the 16 patients who have been seen in clinic following PuraStat-RM treatment, 14 have had a marked improvement in their bleeding in terms of volume and frequency, both subjectively (patient-reported in clinic) and according to 7 day patient-reported bleeding diaries. Median number of PuraStat-RM treatments was 3 (range 2-7). Median PuraStat-RM amount used was 5 mL (range 3-5 mL). There was an improvement in rectal bleeding as determined by 7-day patient-reported bleeding diaries and physician-reported rectal bleeding score. Number of episodes of rectal bleeding into the toilet bowl reduced from a median of 4.5 (range 0-27) to 2 (range 0-16) from the 7 days prior to the first treatment to the 7 days prior to the third treatment.

ട. INDICATIONS FOR USE
PuraStat-RM is indicated for the symptomatic management of rectal mucositis, such as radiation proctitis that may be caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
The intended use of the subject device is identical to the predicate device's intended use. The indications for use for the subject PuraStat-RM are the same as the predicate ProctiGard (K140558), with the difference being that the subject device includes radiation proctitis that may be caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy as an example of rectal mucositis. Thus, PuraStat-RM does not have a new intended use. The subject and predicate ProctiGard are both gels that are intended to provide a protective layer over rectal mucosa.
The subject PuraStat-RM has the same intended use as the predicate PuraStat-OM (K210211). Both devices are mucoadhesive gels that provide a protective layer over mucosa. The mode of action of PuraStat-RM is achieved in an identical manner to that of PuraStat-OM, i.e., through the formation of a protective layer over the mucosa (over the rectal mucosa rather than the oral mucosa).
Thus, PuraStat-RM does not have a new intended use.
COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 6.
PuraStat-RM and the predicate ProctiGard (K140558) are both mucoadhesive gels that provide a protective coating over the rectal mucosa.
The PuraStat-RM solution is sterile-filtered and filled into 5-ml syringes made of cyclo-olefin polymers with a high-density polyethylene plunger and a butyl rubber head cap and gasket. Each syringe is filled with either 1, 3, or 5 ml of gel. The device is terminally sterilized, and the resorbable gel is delivered to the intended application site(s) via a polypropylene applicator nozzle tip.
The predicate ProctiGard is also a sterile mucoadhesive formulation that results in the formation of a protective coating over the rectal mucosa.
Both devices need to deliver the gel via a syringe and both need to function as a temporary spaceoccupying gel stent.
In terms of technological differences. PuraStat-RM consists of a synthetic peptide-based hydrogel material provided in a prefilled syringe. PuraStat-RM is comprised of 2.5% (w/v) of a synthetic repeating peptide (acetyl-[arginy]-alany]-aspartyl-alany]]4-amide tetrahydrochloride in sterile water for injection. The predicate ProctiGard is a mixture of film-forming polymers. Both devices are hydrogels designed to form a protective layer over rectal mucosa. The differences in the material compositions of the two devices raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness.
PuraStat-RM and the predicate PuraStat-OM (K210211) are identical devices, both are mucoadhesive gels that provide a protective coating over mucosa.
Overall, the differences in technological characteristics of the subject and the two predicate devices do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Lastly, the subject PuraStat-RM is the identical product cleared as the PuraStat-GL reference device (K140358), although for different indications.

7. PERFORMANCE DATA
The substantial equivalence evaluation of PuraStat-RM and ProctiGard was supported by nonclinical performance including GLP biocompatibility testing, as per ISO 10993-1 and consistent with FDA Guidance, Use of International Standard ISO-10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing" and bench testing.
PuraStat-RM is classified as a surface device, with breached or compromised surface contact and prolonged contact duration (24 hours to 30 days). Biocompatibility testing included:
- Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization ●
- Irritation ●
- Acute Systemic Toxicity ●
- Subchronic / Subacute Toxicity
- Implantation
- . Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity
These tests provide confirmation that the device does not give rise to toxic effects at the cellular, local or systemic level. The presence of the device in tissues leads to a normal inflammatory response characterized by a granulomatous foreign body reaction, resolving comparatively rapidly to capsular fibrosis. The device is identical to the predicate device PuraStat-OM (K210211) and reference device PuraStat-GI (K210098).
The following bench tests were conducted on PuraStat-RM:
- Storage Modulus, Simulated Body Fluid
- Loss Modulus, Simulated Body Fluid ●
- Complex Modulus, Simulated Body Fluid
- Complex Viscosity, Simulated Body Fluid ●
- Injection Force
- Ex-vivo Mucoadhesive Properties
- Adapter Functional Testing
The following clinical data was provided on the use of PuraStat-RM and to demonstrate substantial equivalence:
The safety and effectiveness of the use of PuraStat-RM as a hemostat to control rectal bleeding after radiation proctopathy (RP) was evaluated in the United Kingdom, in a prospective, consecutive, open-label, single center case series between June 2018 and September 20191. Consecutive patients attending pelvic radiation disease clinic with severe refractory RP were offered treatment with PuraStat-RM. Twenty-one patients were treated ((18 men; 17 prostate, 2 vaginal, 2 rectal; median age 76 years (range 47-84)) with a median of three treatments. Ten were on antithrombotics, 1 had thrombocytopenia and 13 had anaemia at baseline. PuraStat-RM was applied endoscopically at four weekly intervals, with more as required. The median time from first PuraStat-RM treatment to final follow-up information is 12 months (range 3-18). No patients were lost to follow-up. For those patients >12 months beyond their first PuraStat-RM treatment. only one has had recurrence of sigmificant bleeding. Of the 16 patients who have been seen in clinic following PuraStat-RM treatment, 14 have had a marked improvement in their bleeding in terms of volume and frequency, both subjectively (patient-reported in clinic) and according to 7
6
day patient-reported bleeding diaries. Median number of PuraStat-RM treatments was 3 (range 2-7). Median PuraStat-RM amount used was 5 mL (range 3-5 mL). There was an improvement in rectal bleeding as determined by 7-day patient-reported bleeding diaries and physician-reported rectal bleeding score. Number of episodes of rectal bleeding into the toilet bowl reduced from a median of 4.5 (range 0-27) to 2 (range 0-16) from the 7 days prior to the first treatment to the 7 days prior to the third treatment.
8. CONCLUSIONS
The subject PuraStat-RM has the same intended use and similar indications as the predicates ProctiGard (K140558) and PuraStat-OM (K210211).
There are similar technological characteristics between the subject PuraStat-OM and the predicate ProctiGard (K140558). The differences in technological characteristics do not raise any different questions of safety or effectiveness. PuraStat-RM is identical in material, formulation and manufacturing to the predicate PuraStat-OM (K210211).
PuraStat-RM is identical in material, formulation, and manufacturing to the reference device, the PuraStat-GI (K210098).
