Intended Use

The CardioMedics, Inc., CardiAssist™ CounterPulsation System is intended to provide external counterpulsation (ECP) by increasing perfusion during diastole for the treatment of angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. Use of this device may reduce pain and impairment associated with angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock and may enhance coronary function.

Device Description

The CardioMedics CardiAssist™ ECP System is a non-invasive circulatory assist device which provides increased circulation via external counterpulsation (ECP) for the treatment of ischemic heart disease including congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. External counterpulsation therapy improves cardiac function by enhancing the perfusion of the coronary vasculature, the development of coronary collateral circulation, and by reducing the workload of the heart. The CardiAssist ECP System consists of the portable console containing the computer and pumps with a touch screen for user interface, an integral strip chart recorder, and leg cuffs and hoses. Additional components provided with the System include a finger plethysmograph and 3-lead ECG cable and leads. This CardiAssist™ ECP System sequentially compresses the legs from the calves, thighs and buttocks, 40 milliseconds apart, by inflating three sets of flexible fabric cuffs during diastole. This results in movement of blood from the legs to the heart and entire upper body. Pressure, up to 310 mmHg, is applied with the timing and duration of each pulse, synchronized with the patient's ECG. When properly triggered, the pressure pulses applied to the vascular bed of the legs and buttocks transmit retrograde pressure through the entire vascular system. At the aorta, the aortic valve prevents retrograde flow into the left ventricle. Thus, a peak pulse of diastolic pressure occurs at or above systolic levels which increases the driving pressure in the coronary vasculature.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and physiological aspects of external counterpulsation therapy, with no mention of AI or ML for data analysis, decision-making, or system control beyond basic synchronization with the ECG.

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is described as treating multiple medical conditions (angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cardiogenic shock) and is intended to "reduce pain and impairment" and "enhance coronary function," which are clear therapeutic claims.

Diagnostic

Explanation: The device is described as a "circulatory assist device" intended for "treatment" of various cardiac conditions (e.g., angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction). Its function involves using external counterpulsation to improve cardiac function and reduce symptoms, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. While it uses ECG synchronization, that's for timing its therapeutic action, not for diagnosing a condition.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a portable console, pumps, touch screen, strip chart recorder, leg cuffs, hoses, finger plethysmograph, and ECG cable and leads. It describes the physical mechanism of sequential compression using these components.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
Device Function: The CardioMedics CardiAssist™ CounterPulsation System is a non-invasive circulatory assist device. It works by applying external pressure to the legs to improve blood flow and reduce the heart's workload. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of various heart conditions by physically assisting circulation, not by providing diagnostic information from biological samples.

Therefore, the device's function and intended use clearly place it outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Regulation Number and Section

§ 870.5225 External counter-pulsating device.

(a)
Identification. An external counter-pulsating device is a noninvasive, prescription device used to assist the heart by applying positive or negative pressure to one or more of the body's limbs in synchrony with the heart cycle.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) when the device is intended for the treatment of chronic stable angina that is refractory to optimal anti-anginal medical therapy and without options for revascularization. The special controls for this device are:(i) Nonclinical performance evaluation of the device must demonstrate a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for applied pressure, synchronization of therapy with the appropriate phase of the cardiac cycle, and functionality of alarms during a device malfunction or an abnormal patient condition;
(ii) Reliabilities of the mechanical and electrical systems must be established through bench testing under simulated use conditions and matched by appropriate maintenance schedules;
(iii) Software design and verification and validation must be appropriately documented;
(iv) The skin-contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(v) Appropriate analysis and testing must be conducted to verify electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the device; and
(vi) Labeling must include a detailed summary of the device-related and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device.
(2) Class III (premarket approval) for the following intended uses: Unstable angina pectoris; acute myocardial infarction; cardiogenic shock; congestive heart failure; postoperative treatment of patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass surgery; peripheral arterial disease associated with ischemic ulcers rest pain or claudication, threatened gangrene, insufficient blood supply at an amputation site, persisting ischemia after embolectomy or bypass surgery, and/or pre- and post-arterial reconstruction to improve runoff; diabetes complicated by peripheral arterial disease or other conditions possibly related to arterial insufficiency including nocturnal leg cramps and/or necrobiosis diabeticorum; venous diseases, including prophylaxis of deep vein thrombophlebitis, edema (e.g., chronic lymphedema) and/or induration (e.g., stasis dermatitis) associated with chronic venous stasis, venous stasis ulcers, and/or thrombophlebitis; athletic injuries, including Charley horses, pulled muscles and/or edematous muscles; necrotizing cellulitis.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with FDA on or before March 31, 2014, for any external counter-pulsating device, with an intended use described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before March 31, 2014, been found to be substantially equivalent to any external counter-pulsating device, with an intended use described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other external counter-pulsating device with an intended use described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

At the aorta, the aortic valve prevents retrograde flow into the left ventricle. Thus, a peak pulse of diastolic pressure occurs at or above systolic levels which increases the driving pressure in the coronary vasculature.

The difference between the new device and the predicate device is the indication. The indication is being expanded to include the treatment of non-chronic angina pectoris patients. The treatment of all angina pectoris patients with the CardiAssist™ ECP System does not require any changes in software, device design, or treatment regimen. The treatment of this patient population does not significantly change the safety or effectiveness of the device.
