Inclusion criteria

Preoperative 1\. Subject is undergoing planned cardiothoracic, general or vascular surgery Intraoperative 1\. Mild or moderate soft tissue, vascular or parenchymal bleeding present at target bleeding site after standard conventional surgical hemostatic methods prove to be ineffective or impractical.

Exclusion criteria

Preoperative 1. Subject needs emergency surgery 2. Subject will undergo renal transplantation, or minimally invasive/laparoscopic surgery 3. Subject will undergo neurological or ophthalmological surgery 4. Subject will undergo urological or gynecological surgery 5. Subject has congenital coagulation disorder 6. Subject is pregnant or lactating at the time of enrollment, or becomes pregnant prior to the planned surgery Intraoperative: 1. Occurrence of any surgical complication that requires resuscitation or deviation from the planned surgical procedure prior to identification of target bleeding site 2. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Hemostasis Achieved at Target Bleeding Site Within 5 Minutes After Application5 minute (post-application)Hemostasis is a process to prevent and stop bleeding within damaged blood vessels. Once the product(s) is applied it absorbs blood, turns brown, and adheres to the wound, thereby preventing thrombocytes from being washed out and accelerating hemostasis. Target bleeding sites include mild to moderate parenchymal (organ tissue),vascular (small arteries or veins or surgical reconnections) and soft tissue (muscle, fat, ligament, connective tissue) bleeding.
Number of Participants With Post-operative Re-bleeding at Target Bleeding Site Requiring Surgical Re-explorationDay 1 to Day 91Findings are reported in this outcome measure and would have also been reported as an AE.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Achieving Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 7 Minutes After Application7 minutes (post application)The achievement or lack of hemostasis following treatment application to the treatment bleeding site was recorded at different (intraoperative) time points during the first 10 minutes after the start of device application.
Number of Participants Achieving Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 10 Minutes After Application10 minutes (post application)The achievement or lack of hemostasis following treatment application to the treatment bleeding site was recorded at different (intraoperative) time points during the first 10 minutes after the start of device application.
Time to Final Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site by Percentage of Participants0 to 10 minutes (post-application)Data presented is an interpretation of a Kaplan-Meier plot based on quartiles of the survival distribution estimate. Survival times need not relate to actual survival with death being the event; the event may be any event of interest. The Kaplan-Meier curves and estimates of survival data have become a familiar way of dealing with differing survival times (times-to-event).
Number of Occurrences of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (Serious and Non-Serious)Day 1 to Day 91Adverse Events (AEs) that occurred after the start of study treatment application are referred to as treatment-emergent AEs (TEAE). Timeframe for tracking AE's up to Day 91 (minus/plus 10 days=from Day 81 to Day 101).
Percentage of Participants With Intra-operative Re-bleeding at Target Bleeding Site After Achieving Hemostasis0 to 10 minutes (post-application)If intraoperative re-bleeding occurred, the primary endpoint was considered treatment failure.
Number of Participants Achieving Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 3 Minutes After Application3 minutes (post application)The achievement or lack of hemostasis following treatment application to the treatment bleeding site was recorded at different (intraoperative) time points during the first 10 minutes after the start of device application.
