Intended Use
To temporarily occlude an artery or vein with correct tension to produce minimal trauma to vessels. The different sizes and models are designed according to the type and size of the blood vessels, anatomical sites, and surgical techniques. Bulldog clamps are self-closing and are used for small vessels. The closing pressure of the GLOVER clamps can be adjusted using a nut and spring. Applying forceps are used to apply bulldog clamps in deep surgical wounds. To secure vascular occlusion of small vessels during surgery and to secure vascular occlusion during pediatric surgery.

No
The description focuses on mechanical surgical tools (clamps and forceps) and their intended use for vascular occlusion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a surgical instrument (vascular clamp) used for temporary occlusion of vessels during surgery, which is an interventional/diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure a disease or condition.

No
This device, a vascular clamp, is used to temporarily occlude blood vessels during surgery. Its function is interventional (to assist with a surgical procedure), not diagnostic (to identify or characterize a disease or condition).

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe physical surgical instruments (bulldog clamps, Glover clamps, applying forceps) used for occluding blood vessels, which are hardware devices. There is no mention of software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a device used to physically manipulate blood vessels during surgery (occlusion). This is a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the living body).
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.

The description clearly indicates a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

Dear Ms. Maeser:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to leqally 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with 895. the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to
