To control bleeding of lacerations, minor cuts and abrasions.
Device Story
Chito-SAM Active is a non-woven hemostatic dressing composed of chitosan fibers derived from shellfish; intended for over-the-counter use. Device applied directly to wound with firm pressure; chitosan absorbs blood and transforms into gel-like state to assist in temporary bleeding control. Packaged in foil pouches and gamma-sterilized. Used by patients or caregivers in home or point-of-care settings for minor injuries. Provides physical barrier and hemostatic support to facilitate clotting; aids in management of lacerations, cuts, and abrasions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench performance testing (liquid absorption, pH, tensile strength, platelet aggregation) and in-vivo hemostasis testing using a swine model compared to predicate devices. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, hemolysis, acute systemic toxicity) and shelf-life/sterilization validation were performed.
Technological Characteristics
Non-woven fabric dressing made of chitosan fibers. Gamma-sterilized. Provided in various sizes in foil pouches. Hemostatic mechanism via blood absorption and gel formation. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for over-the-counter use to control bleeding of lacerations, minor cuts, and abrasions in the general population.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
To temporarily control bleeding and cover external wounds.

Dear Ms. Griffin:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.

# 4.0 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Chito-SAM" Gauze (refers to both the Chito-SAM" 100 for prescription use and Chito-SAM" Active for over-the-counter use) is made of a non-woven fabric derived from chitosan fibers. Chitosan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide usually derived from shellfish, and its hemostatic properties are widely recognized in the biomedical field. When applied directly on a wound with firm pressure, the Chito-SAM Gauze will turn into a gel-like condition to absorb the blood and assist in temporarily controlling moderate to severe bleeding. The Chito-SAM Gauze is provided in three (3) different sizes for prescription use and two (2) different sizes for over-the-counter use to accommodate a variety of treatment regions. The Chito-SAM Gauze is individually packaged in a foil pouch and is gamma-sterilized.
# 5.0 INDICATIONS FOR USE
Chito-SAM™ 100 (prescription use):
For use as a temporary external dressing to control moderate to severe bleeding and manage external abrasions and lacerations.
# Chito-SAM™ Active (over-the-counter use):
To control bleeding of lacerations, minor cuts and abrasions.
# 6.0 SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON
The indications for use for the predicate devices is substantially equivalent to the proposed indications for use for the Chito-SAM Gauze. The technological characteristics of the Chito-SAM Gauze are similar to the predicate devices. A vailable performance data support the determination of substantial equivalence. Any differences in the
{6}------------------------------------------------
# 510(k) Summary, K133121
technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Chito-SAM Gauze is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
## 7.0 NON-CLINICAL TESTING
Bench performance testing included functional testing for:
- . Liquid Absorption
- . pH
- Tensile Strength (wet and dry) .
- Platelet Aggregation .
- . Comparison to predicate devices for each of the above functional characteristics
Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 was performed for:
- . Cytotoxicity
- . Skin Irritation
- Skin Sensitization .
- . Hemolysis
- . Acute Systemic Toxicity (intraperitoneal and intravenous)
In-vivo hemostasis testing using the swine model was performed to demonstrate the performance of the Chito-SAM product vs. the predicate devices.
Shelf-life testing, including sterilization validation and packaging testing, confirmed a three-year shelf life for packaged, sterilized product.
The collective results of the bench and animal testing demonstrate that the materials chosen, the manufacturing processes, and design of the Chito-SAM Gauze meet the established specifications necessary for consistent performance during its intended use. In addition, the testing demonstrates that the Chito-SAM Gauze does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness for its intended use when compared to the predicate devices.
## 8.0 CLINICAL TESTING -
Clinical testing was not required for this submission.
## 9.0 CONCLUSIONS
The Chito-SAM Gauze shares its design and mechanism of action with the identified predicate devices. The results of the bench testing confirm that the Chito-SAM Gauze functions to its specifications, performs as intended, and exhibits the appropriate characteristics of a wound dressing. The Chito-SAM Gauze is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of technological characteristics, intended use, and performance. No new issues of safety or effectiveness are raised by the Chito-SAM Gauze.
