Intended Use
The intended use of a compression sleeve is to aid in blood circulation in bed confined patients, to prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The intended use of a compression sleeve is to increase venous blood flow in bed-confined patients, to prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Device Description
Compression sleeves come in 3 adjustable sizes for the leg, one size for the knee and various sizes for the foot. They are composed of either a plastic or cloth cover, over one or more plastic or rubber bladders. There are one or more plastic tubes leading from the bladder to a connector that attaches to a compressor. All work on the same principal, a compressor inflates the bladder(s) with air to squeeze the blood out of the foot or leg and deflates to allow the blood to flow back into the foot or leg. On many of the machines, air pressure can be adjusted to allow for the length and thickness of the leg.

No
The description focuses on mechanical compression and pressure adjustment, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended to aid in blood circulation, prevent deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism, which are therapeutic interventions for bed-confined patients.

No

Explanation: The device, a compression sleeve, is described as aiding in blood circulation and preventing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism by physically compressing limbs. Its function is to provide therapy (compression) rather than to diagnose medical conditions by collecting or analyzing data about the patient's state.

No

The device description explicitly mentions physical components like plastic/cloth covers, plastic/rubber bladders, plastic tubes, and a compressor, indicating it is a hardware device with potential software control, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in blood circulation and prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in bed-confined patients. This is a therapeutic and preventative function performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a mechanical system involving compression sleeves, bladders, tubes, and a compressor. This is a physical device that applies external pressure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples outside of the body to provide diagnostic or other health-related information. This compression sleeve operates on the body for a therapeutic and preventative purpose.

Dear Mr. Batcabe:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
