## Indications for Use

The device is used for umbilical cord blood sampling and transfer. The device is intended for single use only.

## Device Story

Kendall LifeTrace Umbilical Blood Collection Kit is a cup-shaped device divided into two halves. Top half collects umbilical cord blood and features a lid. Bottom half contains an Angel Wing transfer device with an attached needle assembly. Device facilitates transfer of collected blood from top chamber to a blood collection tube. Used in clinical settings for umbilical cord blood sampling. Benefits include simplified collection and transfer process for healthcare providers.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including biocompatibility (in-vitro/in-vivo reactivity, pyrogenicity, hemolysis) and functional testing (liquid holding capacity, seal integrity, needle valve puncture durability, and aspiration capability). All tests met acceptance criteria.

## Technological Characteristics

Polymer-based cup-shaped device; includes rubber valve, transfer set, and evacuated EDTA/no-additive blood collection tubes. Sterilization via irradiation. Complies with ISO 10993 for biological evaluation.

## Regulatory Identification

An empty container for the collection and processing of blood and blood components is a device intended for medical purposes that is an empty plastic bag or plastic or glass bottle used to collect, store, or transfer blood and blood components for further processing.

## Predicate Devices

- DeRoyal Surgical, Umbilicup (K02753)
