Intended Use
The VCS-A Series Clamp is intended for use in the temporary occlusion of blood vessels during vascular surgical procedures.
Device Story
VCS-A Series Clamp is a stainless steel, ring-handled surgical instrument with an integrated 8 MHz pulsed-wave (PWD) Doppler ultrasound sensor. Used during vascular surgery to temporarily occlude blood vessels; the integrated sensor provides audible blood flow feedback. The device connects to a separate, commercially available portable Doppler transceiver box (Vascular Technology, Inc. 8 MHz Selectable Channel). Operated by surgeons in an intraoperative setting. The audible output allows the surgeon to confirm vessel occlusion or patency in real-time, aiding clinical decision-making regarding blood flow management during procedures. Benefits include precise, monitored vessel control.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Compliance with IEC 60601-1 for electrical and thermal safety was verified. Acoustic output power measurements were conducted in accordance with FDA guidance for diagnostic ultrasound systems. No clinical data was required or provided.
Technological Characteristics
Stainless steel vascular clamp with integrated 8 MHz pulsed-wave Doppler transducer. Operates via connection to external Doppler transceiver (VTI P/N 108900-40). Electrical/thermal safety per IEC 60601-1. Acoustic output compliant with FDA diagnostic ultrasound guidance.
Indications for Use
Indicated for temporary occlusion of blood vessels during vascular surgical procedures in patients requiring intraoperative vascular flow monitoring.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vascular clamp is a surgical instrument used to occlude a blood vessel temporarily.

#### 4. A description of the device that is the subject of the 510(k), including explanation of how the device functions, basic scientific concepts, significant physical and performance characteristics (design, material, physical properties):
The VCS-A Series Clamp is a ring-handled instrument with integrated Doppler sensor, which allows temporary occlusion of blood vessels. The Doppler sensor allows audible sensing of blood flow by connecting to a commercially available portable transceiver box. The VCS-A series Clamp is manufactured from stainless steel.
#### Statement of intended use: 5.
The VCS-A Series Clamp is intended for use in the temporary occlusion of blood vessels during vascular surgical procedures.
#### Statement of how the technological characteristics of the device compare to those of 6. the predicate or legally marketed device.
The modified VCS-A Series Clamp and the predicate device are both intended for temporary occlusion of blood vessels using an 8 MHz pulsed-wave Doppler sensor. The modifications to the VCS-A Series Clamp do not affect the intended use or scientific technology of the device.
#### Brief summary of nonclinical tests and results: 7.
The VCS-A Series Clamp has been designed and tested to comply with the requirements of IEC 60601-1 for electrical and thermal safety. Acoustic output power measurements were performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance document "Information for Manufacturers Seeking Marketing Clearance of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers. Test results indicate reliable performance when the device is used in accordance with the Instructions for Use. The modified VCS-A Series Clamp does not raise new issues of safety, effectiveness, or performance of the product.
