The summary describes a device that uses hydrostatic pressure from water for compression and mentions testing with pressure sensors, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
Yes
The device is described as providing "compressive therapy" to "help manage chronic swelling and ulceration due to venous insufficiency and lymphedema," which are therapeutic actions for medical conditions.
No
The provided text states that the HydroBoot device is "intended to provide compressive therapy" and "to help manage chronic swelling and ulceration". There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions, only to treat or manage them.
No
The device description explicitly states that the HydroBoot achieves pressure from the hydrostatic pressure of water filling the walls of the boot, indicating a physical, hardware-based mechanism for therapy delivery.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- HydroBoot Function: The HydroBoot device provides compressive therapy on the lower legs and feet. It works by applying physical pressure from water to manage swelling and ulceration.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description clearly states the device's mechanism is based on hydrostatic pressure and does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.
The HydroBoot is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

Device Description
The HydroBoot device is intended to provide compressive therapy on the lower legs and feet to help manage chronic swelling and ulceration due to venous insufficiency and lymphedema. The HydroBoot achieves its pressure against the foot and leg from the hydrostatic pressure of water that fills the walls of the boot. The pressure depends only on the depth of the water, so a pressure gradient from the foot to the knee is obtained.

§ 880.5780 Medical support stocking.
(a)
Medical support stocking to prevent the pooling of blood in the legs —(1)Identification. A medical support stocking to prevent the pooling of blood in the legs is a device that is constructed of elastic material and designed to apply controlled pressure to the leg and that is intended for use in the prevention of pooling of blood in the leg.(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 880.9.(b)
Medical support stocking for general medical purposes —(1)Identification. A medical support stocking for general medical purposes is a device that is constructed of elastic material and designed to apply controlled pressure to the leg and that is intended for medical purposes other than the prevention of pooling of blood in the leg.(2)
Classification. Class I. The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 880.9. The device is also exempt from the current good manufacturing practice requirements of the quality system regulation in part 820 of this chapter, with the exception of § 820.180, with respect to general requirements concerning records, and § 820.198, with respect to complaint files.

HydroBoot
Common/Classification Name: Medical Support Stocking To Prevent the Pooling of Blood in the Legs, 21 CFR 880.5780(a)
Incappe, Inc. 1529 Walnut Street Vicksburg, MS 39180
Contact: Dr. Henk Kuiper, Prepared: July 5, 2002
LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES A.
The Hydroboot is substantially equivalent to: the Geen Medisox, cleared by FDA as K981296 on May 29, 1998; to the Jobst Elvarex Compression Garment, cleared by FDA as K963573 on October 16, 1996; and, to the Pneumatic Ambulatory Compression System, cleared by FDA as K020538 on May 15, 2002.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION B.
The HydroBoot device is intended to provide compressive therapy on the lower legs and feet to help manage chronic swelling and ulceration due to venous insufficiency and lymphedema. The HydroBoot achieves its pressure against the foot and leg from the hydrostatic pressure of water that fills the walls of the boot. The pressure depends only on the depth of the water, so a pressure gradient from the foot to the knee is obtained.
C. INTENDED USE
The HydroBoot device is indicated to provide compressive therapy on the lower legs and feet to help manage chronic swelling and ulceration due to venous insufficiency and lymphedema.
D. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY
The Incappe Hydroboot is within a type of device called Medical Support Stocking to Prevent the Pooling of Blood in the Legs. The HydroBoot indications for use is slightly different from those of the legally marketed predicate devices, but the differences do not affect the intended therapeutic use. The HydroBoot has somewhat different technological characteristics from those of the predicate devices. However, the differences do not raise new types of questions of safety and effectiveness. Accepted scientific methods exist to determine the pressure levels produced in the HydroBoot and these methods have demonstrated that the HydroBoot is equivalent to the predicate devices in producing a therapeutic level
1
of pressure on the foot and lower leg. This leads to a decision of substantial equivalence. 4
E. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The technological characteristics of the HydroBoot are somewhat different from the predicate devices. The predicate devices depend on mechanical forces from an elastic fabric to produce the pressure on the foot and leg. The pressure in the HydroBoot results from the hydrostatic pressure of water that fills the walls of the HydroBoot.
F. TESTING
Testing using pressure sensors was carried out on volunteers as they walked and performed other maneuvers while wearing the HydroBoot or elastic wrap. The pressure measurements confirm the values predicted from the height of the water column and show the effect of walking on the pressure levels.
G. CONCLUSIONS
This pre-market notification demonstrates Substantial Equivalence as defined and understood in Sections 513(f)(1) and 513(i)(1) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and various guidance documents issued by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
1 The meaning of the terms "substantial equivalence" and "substantially equivalent" as used in this 510(k) is limited to the way they are defined in, and used by FDA in accordance with, Sections 513(f)(1) and 513(l)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Dear Mr. Sheridan:
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 (OS) 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.
