Intended Use
The Vacurect vacuum component is intended to create an erection in men with erectile dysfunction by means of an applied vacuum to the penis. The constriction ring is intended to maintain penile rigidity in men with erectile dysfunction.
Device Description
The Vacurect Vacuum Constriction Device is an over the counter device that consists of two main components: the vacuum tube and the constriction ring. The vacuum tube consists of the pump sleeve, spacer ring, dome/sleeve O-Rings, dome/valve stopper, and vacuum ring. The Vacurect Vacuum Constriction Device works by creating a vacuum in the vacuum tube. This is accomplished by moving the pump sleeve up and down along the vacuum tube. The flexible rubber constriction ring when placed onto the vacuum tube (open end), forms an airtight seal with the vacuum tube. Once the opening of the constriction ring is placed on the penis head, the vacuum chamber is sealed and operation of the pump sleeve will immediately draw the penis into the vacuum tube. Once the required penis rigidity is reached. the vacuum pump mav be removed and the ring can remain on the penis for up to 30 minutes.

No
The device description details a purely mechanical vacuum pump and constriction ring system with no mention of AI or ML components.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended to treat erectile dysfunction by creating and maintaining an erection, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description focuses on its mechanism for creating and maintaining an erection, not on identifying or assessing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (vacuum tube, constriction ring, pump sleeve, etc.) and their mechanical function, indicating it is a hardware-based medical 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 create and maintain an erection in men with erectile dysfunction by applying a vacuum to the penis. This is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a mechanical vacuum pump and constriction ring. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing any biological markers, chemical reactions, or cellular components. The device's function is purely mechanical.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

The Vacurect Vacuum Constriction Device is an over the counter device that consists of two main components: the vacuum tube and the constriction ring. The vacuum tube consists of the pump sleeve, spacer ring, dome/sleeve O-Rings, dome/valve stopper, and vacuum ring.

The Vacurect Vacuum Constriction Device works by creating a vacuum in the vacuum tube. This is accomplished by moving the pump sleeve up and down along the vacuum tube. The flexible rubber constriction ring when placed onto the vacuum tube (open end), forms an airtight seal with the vacuum tube. Once the opening of

the constriction ring is placed on the penis head, the vacuum chamber is sealed and operation of the pump sleeve will immediately draw the penis into the vacuum tube.

Once the required penis rigidity is reached. the vacuum pump mav be removed and the ring can remain on the penis for up to 30 minutes.

న్. INTENDED USE

The Vacurect vacuum component is intended to create an erection in men with erectile dysfunction by means of an applied vacuum to the penis. The constriction ring is intended to maintain penile rigidity in men with erectile dysfunction.

6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The Vacurect Vacuum Constriction Device and the predicate devices all use a vacuum tube and constriction ring to create and maintain an erection in men with erectile dysfunction. The Vacurect vacuum tube is similar to the predicate devices in that it is made of a smooth plastic material that provides an airtight seal with the penis during use. The constriction ring is also similar to the predicate devices in that they are all designed to restrict penis venous outflow after the patient has obtained an erection with the aid of a vacuum pump.

7. PERFORMANCE TESTING

Testing was performed to determine that the pumping mechanism does not create a vacuum greater than 0.57 bar = 17 inches.
