Administer First Aid DC to end Bleeding

The wording is a little unclear "The DC is usually the DC of the effect that caused the bleed". For attacks that add the bleeding condition (critical specialization from Knives, Wounding Weapons, attacks that deal bleed damage), what exactly is the DC to apply? 10+attack modifier including strength/dex bonus, class DC? The DC of a critical wound from a Knife would be the targets AC+10, since that was the effect needed to make them bleed. Which seems wrong. For a wounding weapon, is it based on the Wounding rune's level?

This one seems like a little bit of a mess.

IMO Class DC.

IMO Class DC.

And monsters who deal bleed damage on their attacks?
