Intended Use
WoundStat™ is intended for use in emergency wound management. WoundStat™ wound dressing for OTC is indicated for temporary external use to control bleeding from minor cuts and abrasions of the skin.
Device Story
WoundStat™ is a clay-based, granular hemostatic agent designed for emergency wound management; addresses uncontrolled hemorrhage in battlefield, ballistic, and traumatic injuries.

Healthcare providers or lay users apply the agent to the wound site to facilitate clotting.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on the predicate device (K071936) and comparison of labeling/intended use to other legally marketed OTC hemostatic agents.
Technological Characteristics
Clay-based granular hemostatic agent. Provided sterile in foil packaging. Mechanism of action involves physical adherence to the wound site to achieve hemostasis.
Indications for Use

and abrasions of the skin.
{5}------------------------------------------------
WoundStat™ was developed to address an unmet need in battlefield, ballistic, and traumatic injuries. A similar need exists in rural areas where there is a delay in obtaining medical care. For example, traumatic injuries can be sustained in manufacturing, construction, farming, and outdoor activities such as hunting and rock climbing. Uncontrolled hemorrhage continues to be a leading cause of death in both the military and in civilian populations under 35 years of age. The primary issue in these deaths is uncontrolled hemorrhage. OTC availability of WoundStat™ is consistent with numerous other legally marketed OTC wound management devices, such as QuikClot Sport™ (K070010), MedTrade Products CELOX Topical Hemostatic Granules OTC (K061079), BleedArrest™ (K070211), and BloodStop (K071578). It should be noted that WoundStat™ cleared for Rx use (K071936) was determined to be substantially equivalent to QuikClot® (K013390), a prescription device now cleared as QuikClot Sport™ (K070010) for OTC use.
# Comparison to Predicate Device:
WoundStat™ for OTC use is highly similar to WoundStat™ cleared for Rx use (K071936). The mechanism of action and the indications for use in emergency wound management are unchanged. The intended use has been modified, from Rx use to OTC use, and the labeling has been revised in conformance with 21 CFR 801 Subpart C.
WoundStat™ for Rx use has been previously demonstrated to be as safe and effective as marketed wound management devices (K071936). New labeling has been developed for the OTC device, in conformance with 21 CFR 801 Subpart C and modeled after legally marketed OTC wound management devices, including QuikClot Sport™ (K070010). MedTrade Products CELOX Topical Hemostatic Granules OTC (K061079). BleedArrest™ (K070211), and BloodStop (K071578).
# Conclusion :
WoundStat™ for OTC use is as safe and effective as the WoundStat™ for Rx use described in 510(k) K071936. Therefore. WoundStat™ for OTC use is substantially equivalent, should be regulated by FDA within the same generic type of device that includes the cited predicate, and should be cleared for marketing in the United States (US).
