Intended Use

The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet is indicated for use in the battlefield to control difficult bleeds in the pelvis, inguinal area and axilla.

Device Story

The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT) is a pneumatic vascular clamp designed for battlefield use by military medical personnel. It controls hemorrhage in the pelvis, inguinal area, and axilla where standard tourniquets are ineffective. The device consists of a waistband (belt and cummerbund), an inflatable air bladder, and a manual pump. The medic applies the device manually to provide mechanical pressure, allowing for the cessation of blood flow in the distal artery, which enables the medic to attend to other injuries. The device provides a benefit by automating hemorrhage control in junctional areas, reducing the need for continuous manual pressure.

Clinical Evidence

Human data study in 13 subjects. Primary endpoint: cessation of blood flow in the PFA and AA as measured by spectral Doppler. Results: 100% (13/13) success in stopping blood flow. Mean bladder pressure at zero flow: 148.5 mm Hg (PFA) and 168 mm Hg (AA). Pain scores averaged 3.6 and 4.1 at cessation, returning to 0 post-removal.

Technological Characteristics

Inflatable pneumatic tourniquet. Components: waistband (belt and cummerbund), inflatable air bladder, manual pump. Manual operation. No electronic or software components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for battlefield use to control difficult bleeding in the pelvis, inguinal area, and axilla.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Forstadt Consultant to Compression Works LLC Telephone: 401-521-3294 e-mail: rcforstadt@hotmail.com Name of Medical Device Classification Name: Vascular clamp Common/Usual Name: Vascular clamp Proprietary Name: Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet is substantially Substantial Equivalence equivalent to: Compression Works Abdominal Aortic Tourniquet (AAT) device (K112384), the Combat Medical Systems, LLC's Combat Ready Clamp (CRoC) (K130482) and the SAM Junctional Tourniquet (K131561). Device Classification This device, a vascular clamp carries an FDA product code DXC, regulated under 21 CFR 870.4450. Device Description The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT) is designed to be used by military medical personnel in the battlefield to control bleeding in the pelvis, inguinal area and axilla where standard tourniquets cannot be used. The device may be used instead of #### Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet - K133029 {1}------------------------------------------------ "mechanical pressure", allowing the medic to attend to other injuries or soldiers. #### Indications for Use The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT) is indicated for use in the battlefield to control difficult bleeding in the pelvis, inguinal area and axilla. #### Technological Comparison to Predicate Devices | | Proposed | Predicate | |---------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | AAJT Device | AAT Device | | Configuration | Inflatable pneumatic tourniquet | Inflatable pneumatic<br>tourniquet | | Method of<br>Action | Manual | Manual | | Components | Waistband (belt and<br>cummerband), inflatable air<br>bladder (pneumatic inflator),<br>manual pump | Waistband (belt and<br>cummerband), inflatable air<br>bladder (pneumatic inflator),<br>manual pump | #### Performance Testing Results of performance testing have demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. A human data study in thirteen (13) subjects showed that in all subjects (13/13) the blood flow in both the PFA and the AA were stopped as measured by no spectral Doppler flow in the distal artery. Bladder pressure at zero Doppler flow at the PFA was 148.5 mm Hg (SD 44.8, maximum 230, minimum 80) and at the AA was 168 mm Hg (SD 52.5, maximum 250, minimum 80). Pain averaged a maximum of 3.6 and 4.1 at flow cessation for the PFA and AA respectively and returned to 0 after device removal. The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT) with the additional indications (to control difficult bleeds in the pelvis and axilla area) is substantially equivalent to the predicate AAT device cleared under K 112384. It has equivalent design and materials, addresses the same patient population, has the same mechanism of action and uses no new technology. The new indication does not introduce new safety or performance concerns, and is similar to that of the predicate Combat Ready Clamp and SAM Junctional Tourniquet. Therefore, based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to {2}------------------------------------------------ predicate devices, the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet has been shown to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. . 、 . · . {3}------------------------------------------------ #### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
