## Indications for Use

The Hemoclip is indicated for endoscopic clip placement within the digestive tract in adult populations only via a straight or side viewing flexible endoscope for the purpose of: 1. Endoscopic marking, 2. Hemostasis for: • Mucosal/sub-mucosal defects <3cm • Bleeding ulcers • Arteries<2mm • Polyps<1.5cm in diameter • Diverticula in the colon 3. Anchoring to affix jejunal feeding tubes to the wall of the small bowel. 4. As a supplementary method, closure of GI tract luminal perforations <20mm that can be treated conservatively.

## Device Story

Hemoclip is a single-use endoscopic device consisting of a delivery system (handle, slider, spring tube) and a clip part. Operated by a physician via a flexible endoscope, the device is used to mechanically suture tissue at lesion sites. The clip is positioned and deployed by operating the sliding handle; it remains in the digestive tract for 1-2 weeks before natural discharge. The device features a locking hook mechanism for secure closure. A key functional feature is its removability: if initial placement is suboptimal, the clip can be reopened and removed using compatible polypectomy snares (K221713, D320785), allowing for repositioning or removal. This provides clinical flexibility in managing GI lesions, perforations, and feeding tube anchoring.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data included. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993), sterility (ISO 11135), and performance testing for rotation, removability, and mechanical integrity.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel and polymer. Principle: Mechanical suture via sliding handle-actuated clip deployment and locking hook mechanism. Dimensions: Compatible with straight/side-viewing flexible endoscopes. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO). Single-use.

## Regulatory Identification

A hemorrhoidal ligator is a device used to cut off the blood flow to hemorrhoidal tissue by means of a ligature or band placed around the hemorrhoid.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). Except for a hemostatic metal clip intended for use in the gastrointestinal tract, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

## Predicate Devices

- Lockado™ Repositionable Hemostasis Clip ([K202333](/device/K202333.md))

## Reference Devices

- Polypectomy snare ([K221713](/device/K221713.md))
- Polypectomy snare(cold) (D320785)

Dated: March 9, 2026
Received: March 9, 2026

Dear Bingru Wang:

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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, ISO 13485 clause 7.3 (Design controls), ISO 13485 clause 8.3 (Nonconforming product), ISO 13485 clause 8.5.2 (Corrective action), and ISO 13485 clause 8.5.3 (Preventative action). Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QMSR requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (ISO 13485 clause 7.3 and ISO 13485 clause 7.5) and document changes and approvals in the Medical Device File (ISO 13485 clause 4.2.3).

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 Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reporting-mdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
