## Intended Use

QuikClot Sport™ & QuikClot Sport Silver™ are intended for temporary external use to stop bleeding of superficial wounds. minor cuts, and abrasions.

## Device Story

QuikClot Sport and Sport Silver are hemostatic wound dressings consisting of zeolite beads contained within a mesh bag. Designed for OTC use, the device is applied externally to superficial wounds, minor cuts, and abrasions to accelerate blood clotting. The zeolite material facilitates hemostasis; the Sport Silver variant incorporates silver to provide antimicrobial properties. The device is vacuum-packed in multi-layer pouches to maintain sterility. Upon application, the zeolite interacts with blood to form a clot in under 5 minutes, aiding in hemorrhage control. The device is intended for use by untrained individuals in non-clinical settings. The primary benefit is the rapid cessation of bleeding for minor injuries.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing: in-vitro whole blood clotting time (clot formation <5 minutes vs >9 minutes for control) and antimicrobial efficacy testing (S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, C. albicans) showing >4-log reduction within 60 minutes for the Silver version. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1:1997.

## Technological Characteristics

Zeolite beads in mesh bag; reformulated to reduce heat of adsorption. Gamma sterilized (25-50kGy, SAL 10^-6). Vacuum-packed in multi-layer pouches. Sport Silver contains silver for antimicrobial action. No X-ray detectable element.

## Regulatory Identification

To temporarily control bleeding and cover external wounds.

Dear Dr. Basadonna:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

510(k) Summary for QuikClot 1st Response™ & QuikClot ACS+"

Page 2 of 2
page 2/2

#### Summary of Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Devices

This is a device modification of QuikClot 1st Response™ Advanced Clotting Sponge (K061767). QuikClot Sport™ and QuikClot Sport Silver™ contain the same zeolite technology that Z-Medica Corporation has incorporated into previous QuikClot® brand hemostatic agents, granular QuikClot® (K013390/K021581) and QuikClot ACS™ (K051955), but this product uses zeolite that has been reformulated to reduce the heat of adsorption. The risk of burns to caregivers and the injured person has been eliminated by the zeolite reformulation.

Both sizes of QuikClot Sport™ and QuikClot Sport Silver™ make use of the same mesh fabric used for the predicate device, the same primary package construction, and the same production process. The following are modifications have been made to the predicate device:

- The X-ray detectable element has been eliminated (unnecessary for OTC version). 1.
- Directions for use were clarified from the directions for the predicate device. 2. Instructions now include diagrams for each step of the instructions to assist untrained users.
- The Silver version of the product contains silver that may reduce the risk of infection. 3.

#### Discussion of Data to Support Substantial Equivalence

ISO Standard 10993-1:1997 was followed for demonstrating biocompatibility of the component materials and the finished device. In-vitro test data measuring the clotting time of whole blood was used to demonstrate that the device modification is not inferior in efficacy to the predicate device. The zeolite formulation used in the predicate device and these two new OTC products took less than 5 minutes to form a clot, while whole blood without zeolite took longer than 9 minutes to form a clot. Antimicrobial properties were demonstrated by in-vitro testing using cultures of S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and C. albicans (common infectious microorganisms). Exposure to QuikClot Sport Silver™ resulted in a greater than a 4-log reduction in viable organisms within 60 minutes.

### Conclusions

Based on the design, biocompatibility data, in-vitro test data, and intended use, QuikClot Sport™ and QuikClot Sport Silver™ are substantially equivalent to the predicate device (QuikClot 1* Response™ (K061767) and granular QuikClot®/Hemosorb™ (K013390/K021581).
