    • Secondary lymphedema (for example post-mastectomy, chronic edema, post o traumatic edema)
    • Venous disorders (for example venous insufficiency, varicose veins, venous stasis o ulcers)
    • Dysfunction of the muscle pump (for example promotion of wound recovery, o reduction of edema and lower limb pain following trauma and sports injuries)
Device Description

The cuffs contain interconnected, segmented inflatable chambers constructed of latex-free brushed nylon with polyester foam backing and an internal coating of latex free polymer that creates an airtight seal. The inner lining is elastic, which allows for the inflation. The bladder is constructed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), RF welded at the seams. The inflation/deflation tubes are also composed of PVC. The hook fasteners are made of polyethylene.

These are pneumatically controlled cuffs, actuated by an electronic pump unit and are designed for singleuse. Inflation of the garment is accomplished using air or water and a controller cycle that functions to alternately inflate and deflate the cuffs in a predetermined manner and interval. The garments have only been tested to be used with the ThermoTek, Inc. NanoTherm and VascuTherm pneumatic pumps. Air/water is delivered to the cuff through flexible plastic tubing, inflating it to a specified pressure, to compress the affected anatomical part, thus aiding venous return. Air/water pressure and delivery are monitored by elements within the pump unit. Immediately after the pump element detects that the cuff has achieved the current set pressure, the cuff deflates to ambient pressure, allowing the veins to refill bringing oxygenated blood back to the area. The process essentially simulates muscle contractions in the body area, facilitating appropriate venous flow. The foot cuff simulation. The cycle continues until the unit is turned off.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: The document specifies "The ankle cuffs, as DVT sample" and "The predicate and WMI cuffs" were tested. While it doesn't give a specific numerical count of individual cuffs, it clearly indicates that multiple WMI cuffs (DVT: D-1000F, D-1000C, and Thermal: T-2000A, T-2000B, T-2000KF, T-2000KBM, T-2000KBS, T2000S, T-2000H) were compared against at least one predicate device cuff (ThermoTek NanoTherm). In the cyclic testing for DVT, the "ankle cuffs" were used as a DVT sample which implies that more than one ankle cuff was tested.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was bench testing conducted to prove similarity of function. This implies that the data was generated in a controlled laboratory setting, not from clinical patient data from a specific country, and it was prospective in nature (designed and executed specifically for this submission).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

  • Not applicable. This submission relies on bench testing for substantial equivalence rather than a clinical study requiring expert assessment of patient data. The "ground truth" here is the performance of the predicate devices in a laboratory setting.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. There was no expert adjudication process for this bench testing. The assessment was based on direct measurement and comparison of physical characteristics and performance.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This device (compressible limb sleeve) is not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive tool that would involve human readers or MRMC studies.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This device is a passive mechanical component (cuff) that works in conjunction with an electronic pump. It does not have an "algorithm" in the sense of a standalone AI system. The testing focused on the performance of the cuff as actuated by a pump, comparing it to predicate cuffs used with similar pumps.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Comparison to Predicate Device Performance: The "ground truth" for this submission is the established and accepted performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate devices (ThermoTek, Inc. NanoTherm and VascuTherm, Aircast VenaFlow system Disposable Cuffs, Doctor's Orders, Inc. DVTcare CA5, Hygia Health Services, Inc. NuTech Foot Wrap, Huntleigh Flowtron Excel). The WMI cuffs were evaluated against the functional and operational parameters of these predicates.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This submission describes bench testing for a mechanical device, not an AI/machine learning model that requires a "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/machine learning model, there is no ground truth establishment for a training set.

Indication of Predicate Devices and Statement of Substantial Equivalence:

The 510(k) approval for some of the following listed predicate devices, included approval for electronically controlled pump units and accompanying bladders (wraps, cuffs, sleeves). Our application is for like cuffs only and does not include any electronically controlled pump units. Therefore, our statement of substantial equivalence applies to the cuffs themselves. Our cuffs will be used with the ThermoTek, Inc. NanoTherm and VascuTherm or the Doctors Orders DVTCare units. However, we reserve the right to use the WMI cuffs with other, FDA approved as substantially equivalent electronically controlled pump units in the future.

Based upon safety and performance testing, compliance with voluntary standards, and comparison to the predicate devices in terms of features, functionality, and bench comparison testing, we believe that the WMI intermittent segmental cuffs are substantially equivalent to the wrap portion of the following predicate devices, and do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Testing

Comparative bench testing was utilized to assess and prove similarity of function between the WM1 cuffs and the predicate ThermoTek NanoTherm and VascuTherm wraps. All tests found that functional and operational performance characteristics including compression, pressure control, and timing sequence were substantially equivalent. Safety and operational parameters regarding controller connections were also found to be substantially equivalent. The predicate and WMI cuffs were connected to a ThermoTek

VascuTherm 2 pneumatic compressor pump and cycle tested for 3,000 minutes (50 cycles) at .35 psi (normal usage pressure = .029 psi). The ankle cuffs, as DVT sample, were connected to a ThermoTek VascuTherm 2 pneumatic compressor pump and constant pressure tested for 120 hours (7,200) minutes at 1.9 psi (normal usage pressure = .97 psi). All cuffs demonstrated acceptable cyclic therapy delivery with no differences between cuffs, no migration of cuffs, and no degradation in performance throughout the testing. The testing was successfully completed and resulted in no variance in leakage or performance between the WMI and ThermoTek cuffs. Following life cycle testing, the cuffs were gas pressure tested (burst test). Pressure was introduced and continued until cuffs exhibited leakage or burst. In all cases, the burst point was dramatically higher than normal usage would ever place on the cuffs and the burst points were substantially similar among the cuffs. We believe that all testing supports the substantial equivalence of the cuffs to the predicates.
