Intended Use
The Combat Ready Clamp (CRoC™) is indicated for use in the battlefield to control difficult bleeds in the inguinal and axilla areas.
Device Story
Combat Ready Clamp (CRoC) is a vascular clamp designed for battlefield use by emergency medical personnel. It provides mechanical compression to control difficult bleeds in inguinal and axilla areas where standard tourniquets are ineffective. The device replaces manual pressure, allowing medics to attend to other injuries. It is intended for temporary hemorrhage control for up to 4 hours until the patient is transferred to evacuation or medical personnel. The device is a mechanical clamp; it does not utilize software or algorithms.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. A cadaver model study was conducted to demonstrate the device's capability to stop simulated vessel blood pressure in the axilla area.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical vascular clamp. Dimensions: 8" x 12 1/4" x 9" (extended). No software, electronics, or energy sources. Non-powered, manual operation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for battlefield use to control difficult hemorrhages in the inguinal and axilla anatomical regions.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vascular clamp is a surgical instrument used to occlude a blood vessel temporarily.

#### Indication for Use:
The Combat Ready Clamp (CRoC™) is indicated for use in the battlefield to control difficult bleeds in the inguinal and axilla areas.
#### Device Description:
The CRoC™ is designed to be used by emergency medical personnel in the battlefield. The device is designed to control bleeding in anatomical areas where standard tourniquets cannot be used. The device can be used instead of manual pressure, allowing the medic to attend to other injuries. The Combat Ready Clamp is used to control a difficult bleed for up to 4 hours until the injured can be transferred to evacuation personnel or other medical personnel for further treatment.
#### Performance Data:
To establish the substantial equivalence the CRoC™ was tested with a cadaver model to show that it was capable of stopping simulated vessel blood pressure in the axilla area.
#### Substantial Equivalence:
{1}------------------------------------------------
Based on technological characteristics and performance data the CRoC™ has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Combat Ready Clamp as cleared in K102025.
