Intended Use
The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet - Stabilized (AAJT-S) is indicated for use to control bleeding in the pelvis, inguinal area, axilla and for pelvic fracture stabilization.
Device Description
The AAJT-S device is a wedge-shaped bladder that when inflated pushes in on the body Over the target area of application. One of the target areas is the lower abdomen, over the umbilicus, compressing all the structures within, including the descending aorta, to achieve the physiological effects of aortic compression. The other two areas are over the inguinal region or the axilla. In these two areas the region is compressed with the wedge- shaped bladder including the major vasculature that runs through that area.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical compression and does not mention any computational or learning capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended to control bleeding and stabilize pelvic fractures, which are therapeutic actions.

No

The device is indicated for controlling bleeding and stabilizing pelvic fractures by applying external compression, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, wedge-shaped bladder that is inflated to apply pressure, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet - Stabilized (AAJT-S) is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • AAJT-S Function: The description of the AAJT-S clearly indicates it is a mechanical device used externally on the body to apply pressure and control bleeding. It does not involve testing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to control bleeding and stabilize pelvic fractures, which are physical interventions, not diagnostic tests.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and how it applies pressure to anatomical sites.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned (Pressure Testing and Force Testing) evaluate the physical properties and functionality of the device, not its ability to diagnose or detect substances in biological samples.

Therefore, the AAJT-S falls under the category of a therapeutic or mechanical medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

5.1 Device Description

The AAJT-S device is a wedge-shaped bladder that when inflated pushes in on the body Over the target area of application. One of the target areas is the lower abdomen, over the umbilicus, compressing all the structures within, including the descending aorta, to achieve the physiological effects of aortic compression. The other two areas are over the inguinal region or the axilla. In these two areas the region is compressed with the wedge- shaped bladder including the major vasculature that runs through that area.

5.2 Intended Use

The AAJT-S is intended to control bleeding for up to 1 hour for abdominal use and up to 4 hours for junctional use until the patient can be transported to a health care facility for further treatment.

5.3 Indications for Use

The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet - Stabilized (AAJT-S) is indicated for use to control bleeding in the pelvis, inguinal area, axilla and for pelvic fracture stabilization.

5.4 Technological Comparison

The AAJT-S is similar in design and intended use to the 510(k) predicate device, AAJT (K133029). The differences between the subject device and the predicate device are listed below:

  • . Exchanging the windlass for a ladder strap and ratcheting buckle. This allows the user the ability to tighten the AAJT-S with one hand.
  • Tightening apparatus of the belt was moved to the front of the device for application convenience.
  • Addition of the "D" handle allowing for easier acquisition of the belt by gloved hands. ●
  • Wider belt was added for stability and comfort. ●
  • Exchanging the three separate cover pieces for one continuous piece of HDPE plastic.
  • Increased wear time of 1 hour. ●
  • Additional pelvic stability indication. ●

The AAJT-S is similar in design and indication for use to the 510(k) cleared reference device, SAM Junctional Tourniquet (K131561). The differences between the subject device and the reference device are listed below:

  • Inflatable bladder:
    The SAM Junctional Tourniquet uses a Target Compression Device (TCD) to apply pneumatic pressure. The TCD is an inflatable cone shaped chamber that applies pressure to the target area to stop bleeding. The AAJT-S uses a wedge-shaped bladder to apply pneumatic pressure to the target area to stop bleeding.

  • . Slack removal:
    Once in position the SAM junctional Tourniquet uses Tourniquet uses a Windlass that is turned until the device is secured. Then the windlass is retained in place by a Velcro strap. The AAJT-S uses a ladder strap and ratcheting buckle that secures the device and does not require a Velcro retaining strap.

5.5 Non-Clinical Performance Testing:

Compression Works performed the following nonclinical performance tests:

Pressure Testing: to confirm the AAJT-S can stay inflated and maintain the same pressure over the target area for at least a 4-hour period.

  • . Force Testing: to evaluate the bond strength of the components bonded to the hard cover to demonstrate these components can withstand normal tensile forces during clinical use.

5.6 Biocompatibility

The AAJT-S is considered a surface device that may potentially contact intact skin for a duration of
