Shanghai INT Medical Instruments' EUCC-V is a single-patient umbilical cord clamp designed around a combined clamp, handle and blade assembly that carries a fitted electronic watch. The published configuration names four components and nothing else: umbilical clamp, handle, blade, electronic watch. Four functions are published against it, all of them in the manufacturer's own wording. It reduces the newborn's blood exposure. It records the separation moment of infant and mother. It carries a talking clock system. It carries a birthday reminder system. No parameter is published against any of those four functions. No dimension, material, sterility statement, blade geometry, clamping force, cord diameter range, battery type or pack quantity appears anywhere in the literature available.

What distinguishes the EUCC-V is that it places a battery inside an instrument that will be contaminated and then discarded. That decision reaches past the delivery room and into the waste contract. A contaminated device belongs in the clinical waste stream, and infected products sit outside the scope of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013. A clean, separated electronic module does not sit outside that scope. Which route applies depends on whether the watch detaches and whether it leaves with the family, and the datasheet settles neither point.

The clamping mechanism itself is hand-operated and carries no electrical parts, so it falls outside portable appliance testing. The blade is supplied as an integral component of the instrument. The manufacturer's own catalogue lists the product family as disposable. The uploaded datasheet omits that word, and the two should be reconciled in writing.

No dimensional information is published. Medigear.uk lists the EUCC-V for UK business buyers. Request the declaration of conformity, the approved or notified body number, the sterility and shelf-life statement, the battery specification and the case quantity from the seller before ordering.

The EUCC-V is intended for the third stage of labour, when the cord is clamped and divided. That places it in obstetric-led units, alongside midwife-led units, home birth teams working from a packed bag, and theatre lists where a caesarean birth follows the same clamping step under different conditions. The working end is scaled to a newborn cord, and the action is a single squeeze, making it a short thing to teach and a short thing to check. Clinical judgment, not the instrument, sets the timing of that squeeze. NICE states that the cord should not be clamped before one minute from birth unless cord integrity is in doubt or the baby's heart rate is below 60 beats per minute and not rising, and that it should be clamped before five minutes, when controlled cord traction forms part of active management. Where a woman asks for longer, that choice is supported. The EUCC-V does not change any part of that sequence. It records where the sequence ends.

Procurement will run through one of the usual routes. NHS Supply Chain carries umbilical cord clamps under both general and sterile headings. Trusts, Integrated Care Boards and independent maternity providers each buy against their own framework and standing financial instructions. Any of those routes will ask for conformity evidence early, and for a device of this class, that evidence is a third-party certificate rather than a self-declaration.

Two settings deserve a separate look. A home birth team carries what it can fit, so the packed size and the case quantity matter more than they do on a ward. A unit with an audible-device policy during labour needs to resolve the talking-clock question before stock arrives.

The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

One instrument covers both steps.

The clamp, handle, and blade are published as parts of a single item. Closing and dividing therefore happen in one action from one hand, and the step does not depend on a second instrument arriving in the same pack or on the same trolley. For a task performed under time pressure with wet gloves, the number of objects involved is not a trivial detail.

The clamping mechanism carries no electrical parts

The mechanical action is hand-driven. Nothing about the clamping or cutting function requires an electrical supply, which keeps that part of the device outside portable appliance testing and outside any electrical safety regime the provider applies to powered equipment. The fitted watch is battery-borne and is dealt with separately below.

The timestamp is captured without a second person.

Recording the moment of separation is otherwise a job for whoever is free, written on a board or called across a room and transcribed later. A fitted watch removes that dependency at the exact moment when everyone present has something else to do. The manufacturer publishes the function but no accuracy figure, so treat the record as an aid rather than a source of clinical record data until the seller confirms otherwise.

A keepsake with a defined owner

The birthday reminder function only makes sense as something the family keeps, which turns a low-cost gesture at discharge into a consumable already being purchased. It needs a policy, because a keepsake that is sometimes offered and sometimes not becomes a complaint.

Nothing to reprocess between patients

On the manufacturer's own catalogue designation,n the family is disposable, which removes the device from the decontamination cycle entirely. No washer-disinfector load, no tracking, no reprocessing validation and no instrument set to reconcile at the end of a list. That is a real saving in a department where sterile services capacity is the constraint.

A short action for rotating staff

Agency and bank staff arriving for a single shift need to be competent with the instruments in the room within minutes. A single-squeeze action with no assembly and no settings is quick to demonstrate and quick to verify against staff turnover.

An identifiable manufacturer

Shanghai INT Medical Instruments publishes a corporate structure, a group of named subsidiaries, and investor documentation on its own domain. For a buyer building a supplier file, an identifiable legal manufacturer with a traceable corporate identity is the starting point for the UK Responsible Person chain and for any future vigilance reporting.

The unanswered questions are short and answerable.

Everything absent from this datasheet is a matter of fact the manufacturer already knows: a dimension, a material, a sterilisation method, a battery type. A single written request should close the whole set, and a seller who cannot close it has told the buyer something useful.

The cost is a per-birth cost, not a purchase price

A single-use instrument is consumed at every delivery, so the meaningful figure is unit cost multiplied by annual births, plus the disposal route. A service should price it that way from the first conversation and ask for banded pricing against that volume.

Combined clamp, handle and blade

The published component list for the EUCC-V lists the umbilical clamp, handle, and blade as parts of one supplied item, together with the electronic watch. No component is listed as an optional extra, and none is listed as sold separately.

Single-squeeze action

The manufacturer describes the family as automatic and states that the device clamps and cuts the umbilical cord quickly and effectively. No force figure, travel distance or cycle description is published against that action.

Fitted electronic watch

The EUCC-V configuration includes an electronic watch. The product renders show a circular module seated at the handle. No battery type, battery life, replaceability, ingress rating or method of attachment is published.

Recording of the separating moment

The manufacturer lists the recording of the separating moment of infant and mother as a product function. No accuracy specification, time format or method of reading the record back is published.

Talking clock system

An audible clock function is published as part of the electronic watch. No language, volume, mute control or disabling method is stated.

Birthday reminder system

A birthday reminder function is published. No detail is given on how the reminder is set, how long it runs, or what happens when the battery is exhausted.

Blade supplied as an integral component.

The blade is listed as part of the instrument and not as a separate item. The written configuration does not describe it as shielded, retracting or enclosed, and no blade material is given.

Newborn-scale working end

The device is described for use on the umbilical cord at birth. No jaw length, cord diameter range or gap dimension is published, so suitability for an unusually thick cord should be confirmed with the seller.

Moulded body

The renders show a moulded polymer body with a contoured handle and a finger guard. No material designation, latex statement, phthalate statement or biocompatibility evidence appears in the available literature.

Manufacturer-published disposable designation

Shanghai INT Medical Instruments lists the family under a disposable heading on its own catalogue. The datasheet supplied with this enquiry does not repeat that word, and the discrepancy should be resolved against the labelling artwork.

Colour and finish

The product renders show a blue moulded body with a lighter accent at the jaws and a yellow bezel on the watch module. No colour block or finish option list appears in the written configuration, so confirm the supplied finish at order.

Manufacturer instructions for use

The manufacturer's product page carries a download area for instructions for use. No document was published there at the time of writing, so request the instructions directly.

No published parameters

The most accurate description of the EUCC-V specification is that it consists of four function statements and a four-item component list. Every dimension, material, tolerance, rating and interval a procurement file would normally hold is absent, and that is the single most useful thing to know before an enquiry.

The EUCC-V is a single-patient umbilical cord clamp that carries its own blade and a fitted electronic watch, and it is best understood as three purchases in one: an instrument, a timekeeping accessory and a waste-stream decision. The instrument part is simple and quick to teach. The watch is a genuine differentiator and an open question at the same time, because nothing published says what happens to it after the birth. The waste question follows directly. Medigear.uk lists the EUCC-V for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the declaration of conformity, the sterility statement, the blade specification, the battery details, and the case quantity from the seller in the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

No, and this is the most important thing to settle before the device reaches a birth room. NICE guideline NG235, recommendation 1.10.14, and quality statement 6 of NICE quality standard QS105 both hold that the cord should not be clamped earlier than one minute after the birth unless there is concern about cord integrity or the baby has a heart rate below 60 beats per minute that is not rising. The timestamp the EUCC-V captures is the moment of clamping, which under UK practice is deliberately later than the moment of birth. Any local guidance written around this device should say so explicitly, so that a recorded time is never mistaken for a time of delivery.

The manufacturer's own product catalogue lists the family under the heading of disposable automatic umbilical cord clamps, which indicates single-patient use. The datasheet supplied with this enquiry does not carry that word. Because a single-use designation is a manufacturer instruction rather than a preference, and because reprocessing a device labelled for single use transfers manufacturer liability to the reprocessing organisation, confirm the position in writing before any order. Request the instructions for use and the labelling artwork from the seller.

The published component list names a blade as part of the instrument, and the product renders show the cutting mechanism seated between the jaws. The written configuration does not describe the blade as shielded, retracting or enclosed, and it gives no blade material or geometry. That absence matters more than it might appear, because the answer determines how the used device is handled at disposal and what container it goes into. Ask the seller for the blade specification and a written statement of its condition after use.

That determination belongs to the employer, not to the supplier or the manufacturer. Regulation 5 of the Health and Safety (Sharp Instruments in Healthcare) Regulations 2013 requires an employer to avoid the use of medical sharps where reasonably practicable and, where it is not, to substitute a safer sharp incorporating features that prevent or minimise accidental injury. An instrument carrying its own blade is the kind of design that assessment considers, but Shanghai INT Medical Instruments publishes no safer-sharp claim for the EUCC-V. Treat the question as an input to the local risk assessment and ask for the blade condition statement described above.

The datasheet does not say. The birthday reminder function implies a module the family retains, since a reminder has no purpose inside a hospital. Still, nothing published states that the watch detaches, how it detaches, or whether it is intended to leave the building. Three separate answers follow from that one question: the waste route, the unit cost per birth, and whether a conversation with the parents needs to be part of the procedure. Put it to the seller directly.

Not stated. Sterile presentation is normal for this product type and NHS Supply Chain lists umbilical cord clamps under a dedicated sterile heading, but normal practice is not a substitute for a manufacturer statement. Ask for the sterilisation method, the validation standard applied, the packaging standard for terminally sterilised devices, and the shelf life with a stated expiry format. If the device is supplied non-sterile, that changes where it can be used and needs to be known before the first case.

Single-use umbilical cord clamps are typically Class IIa under UK MDR 2002, or higher, use-dependent — confirmed against the declaration of conformity at order. Class IIa carries a practical consequence worth knowing: it cannot be self-declared. A third party has to be involved, which means a notified body or approved body certificate with a number on it exists, or the device is not lawfully on the market. Ask for the certificate, the body number, and the scope, and check that the scope names this product.

CE-marked devices continue to be accepted in Great Britain under transitional arrangements, currently to 30 June 2028 for devices certified under the earlier EU directive and to 30 June 2030 for devices certified under the EU Medical Device Regulation. In 2026, the MHRA consulted on recognising CE marking indefinitely and then confirmed that the proposed routes would not be taken forward in the pre-market legislation expected that year. Hence, the 2028 and 2030 dates remain the working deadlines. Separately, a manufacturer outside the UK must appoint a UK Responsible Person and the device must be registered with the MHRA before it is placed on the market. Ask the seller who the UK Responsible Person is and for the MHRA registration reference.

Unknown. The datasheet lists the talking clock system as a function but provides no volume control, language options, mute control, or method for turning it off. A device that speaks aloud in a birth room is a decision for the unit, not an incidental feature, and it needs testing against local practice before a bulk order. Some rooms will welcome it and some will not.

The manufacturer's published wording is that the device reduces the newborn's blood exposure. Read literally, that describes a benefit to the baby, though an instrument carrying its own blade is more usually argued in terms of exposure to the person holding it. The wording appears in translation and supports both readings. Rather than pick one, ask the seller which is intended and what evidence supports it, because the two readings would sit in different sections of a business case.

Any service that cannot answer the sterility question is not ready to buy it. Beyond that, a unit running a strict low-waste maternity programme should look hard at a battery-bearing single-use item before committing, because the disposal route is more complicated than the purchase decision suggests. Services with a policy against audible devices during the third stage of labour will need the mute question answered first. None of these rules the product out, but each one is cheaper to resolve now than after a case has been ordered.

Treat the pre-order set as one document rather than a series of emails. It runs to the declaration of conformity and certificate scope, the instructions for use, the sterility method and shelf life, the blade specification and its condition after use, the battery type and whether the module detaches, the materials with latex and phthalate statements, the biocompatibility evidence, the unit and packed dimensions, the case quantity, the UK Responsible Person and MHRA registration, and the labelling artwork. That list is long because the published literature is short.
