Device Story
Topical hemostatic dressing consisting of plant-based starch particles and lyophilized starch foam with hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) binder. Applied to bleeding wounds; particles dehydrate blood cells; causes rapid hemoconcentration of platelets, serum proteins, and fibrinogen; accelerates clotting. Used in clinical settings (Rx) or home/point-of-care (OTC) for bleeding control. Benefits patient by limiting blood loss in surgical, traumatic, or access-site wounds.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and comparative performance testing in a porcine model. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993 and FDA G95-1 guidance. No human clinical trial data reported.
Technological Characteristics
Plant-based starch particles and lyophilized starch foam with HPMC binder. Hemostatic mechanism via blood cell dehydration. Provided sterile. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for management of bleeding wounds. TraumArrest (Rx): temporary treatment of moderate to severe bleeding wounds (surgical, donor sites, dermatological, cuts, lacerations) and control of bleeding at percutaneous needle, vascular, and catheter access sites. BleedArrest (OTC): minor bleeding wounds (cuts, lacerations, abrasions) and minor nose bleeds.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Mr. Roberts:
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.

# DESCRIPTION
As described above, the Hemostasis, LLC hemostats are comprised of plant based starch particles. The particles consist in two forms; one is starch particles and one is starch particles processed into a foam using a lyophylization process and include a polysaccharide binder hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC). Starch is a polysaccharide that is a well known hemostatic agent due to its ability to hold moisture. The Hemostasis hemostatic particles and foam quickly dehydrate blood cells, thereby causing rapid hemoconcentration of platelets, serum proteins and fibrinogen, leading to clotting that limits and controls bleeding in moderate to severe lacerations,
