Intended Use
The C-Boot™ is a prescriptive device that induces controlled compression of the calf, the foot or a combined compression of both. The C-Boot™ is intended to assist patients, suffering from lymphatic or venous disorders, by treating many conditions including: - Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) - Enhancement of blood circulation - Reduction of post-operative pain and swelling - Reduction of wound-healing time - Stasis dermatitis - Treatment and assist healing of cutaneous ulceration - Venous stasis ulcers - Leg ulcers - Chronic venous insufficiencies - Reduction of edema - Prevent pooling of fluids in limbs - Lymphedema
Device Description
C-Boot Ltd. introduces a wearable pneumatic compression technology embodied in a therapeutic boot that has the potential to increase treatment efficacy and improve the quality of life for peripheral vascular and lymph distorders patients. C-Boot's solution integrates the technological advantages of dynamic compression pumps, that enable preset sequential pressure control to individualize treatment regimes, with the mobility benefit of static compression stockings, that activate the calf muscle pump and strengthened the body's natural tendency to enhance lymphatic and venous return. The device relates to a self-powered compression devices and methods for promoting circulation and therapeutic compression: It is comprising a pump, a plurality of sleeves or limb massager, which utilizes sequential, cyclical pressure, energy or vector forces, to aid circulation in a body part such as the limbs. The inflatable sleeves are filled with air by the pump and transmit massaging movement to the vessel walls whenever the patient wearing the device - walks or transmits body's weight from one leg to another. The pressure generated is a function of the user's body weight and gravitational force. The device provides methods to harness energy generated during movement and weight transfer and uses the energy for compressing to create a massaging effect on the circulation and the muscular-skeletal system.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical compression and energy harvesting from movement, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for control, analysis, or personalized treatment.

Yes
The device description explicitly states it is a "therapeutic boot" and the intended use outlines various medical conditions it treats, such as DVT prevention, circulation enhancement, and reduction of edema.

No

The C-Boot™ is described as a "prescriptive device that induces controlled compression" to assist patients with lymphatic or venous disorders. Its function is to treat conditions and enhance circulation, not to diagnose them.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "wearable pneumatic compression technology embodied in a therapeutic boot" and includes components like a "pump" and "inflatable sleeves," indicating it is a hardware device with potential software control, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the C-Boot™ is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • C-Boot™ Function: The C-Boot™ is a physical device that applies compression to the body (calf, foot, limbs) to treat conditions related to circulation and lymphatic disorders. It does not analyze any biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a therapeutic function (inducing compression, enhancing circulation, reducing swelling, etc.) directly on the patient's body.

Therefore, the C-Boot™ falls under the category of a therapeutic or physical medicine device, not an IVD.

11. Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The C-Boot™ has combined indications of its two (2) predicate devices - WizAir™ and Lympha Press®- into one product. All three (3) devices have same shape of surrounding sleeves, inflation mode (sequential), mode of Compression (intermittent), number of Cycles (1-2 per minute) and are made all of basically same materials.

The main differences are the dynamic compression pumps, the overlapping-massaging-movements and the mechanical power source of C-Boot™ (compared to an electrical source of the other predicate devices), which raise neither safety nor effectiveness questions, as C-Boot™ functions within same boundaries of performances.

12. Performance Data

A series of functional, performance and safety testing, including comparative analysis to Mego-Afek® and WizAir™ - demonstrates that C-Boot™ is substantially equivalent to Mego-Afek® and WizAir™, without raising new safety and/or effectiveness issues.
