Summary

Klim-Loc describes advancing toward FDA clearance and a Type III Drug Master File submission. These are stated objectives; the reviewed sources do not establish a completed submission or U.S. marketing authorization. A planned DMF submission is not itself device marketing authorization. [3]

The company’s PDA 2026 human-factors poster describes formative evaluation ahead of verification, validation and regulatory submission. A completed commercial launch has not been established in the reviewed sources. [8][6][11]

The IV bag and infusion-set concept is separately described as future product expansion. Proposed sensor integration and automatic electronic-record capture are development concepts; deployed sensor functionality, clinical performance and system integrations have not been established in the reviewed evidence. [7][11]

Published FDA applicant/firm and product-name searches found no matching 510(k) clearances, De Novo grants, original PMA approvals or recall events for Klim-Loc. [14][15][16][17]
