Intended Use
The Combat Ready Clamp is indicated for use in the battlefield to control difficult bleeds in the inguinal area.
Device Story
Combat Ready Clamp is a vascular clamp designed for battlefield use by military medical personnel. It provides mechanical compression to the inguinal area to control difficult hemorrhages where standard tourniquets are inapplicable. The device replaces manual pressure, allowing medics to attend to other injuries or soldiers. It is intended for temporary use, up to 4 hours, until the patient is transferred to evacuation personnel. The device applies pressure to stop simulated vessel blood flow, serving as a mechanical alternative to manual compression.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing performed to demonstrate pressure equivalence to the predicate device. Cadaver model testing performed to demonstrate capability to stop simulated vessel blood pressure.
Technological Characteristics
Vascular clamp; mechanical compression principle; intended for inguinal hemorrhage control; non-powered; manual operation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in battlefield settings by military medical personnel to control difficult inguinal hemorrhages where standard tourniquets are ineffective.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vascular clamp is a surgical instrument used to occlude a blood vessel temporarily.

### Indication for Use:
The Combat Ready Clamp is indicated for use in the battlefield to control difficult bleeds in the inguinal area.
### Device Description:
The Combat Ready Clamp is designed to be used by Military medical personnel in the battlefield. The device is designed to control bleeding in the inguinal area where standard tourniquets cannot be used. The device can be used instead of manual pressure, allowing the medic to attend to other injuries or soldiers. The Combat Ready Clamp is used to control a difficult bleed for up to 4 hours until the injured soldier can be transferred to evacuation personnel for further treatment.
{1}------------------------------------------------
## Non-clinical Performance Testing:
The Combat Ready Clamp was testing via bench testing to show that it could provide pressures equivalent to the predicate device.
The Combat Ready Clamp was also tested with a cadaver model to show that it was capable of stopping simulated vessel blood pressure. ·
## Substantial Equivalence:
Based on technological characteristics the Combat Ready Clamp has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Compressar Femoral Access Compression Device.

Dear Ms. Herzog:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
