The Versatile 1 Wound Vacuum System is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device particularly as the device may promote wound healing or for aspiration and removal of surgical fluids, tissue (including bone), gases, bodily fluids, or infectious materials from a patients airway or respiratory support system either during surgery or at the patients bedside.
The BlueSky Versatile 1 WVS is a portable suction device that can be powered by an internal battery pack, wall current or 12 Volt input via optional cigarette lighter adaptor. The pump can be used for removal of surgical fluids, tissue, gases, bodily fluids or infected materials during surgery or from a patients airway or respiratory support system. The pump can also be used to create localized topical negative pressure when used with the Chariker-Jeter® accessory kits to promote wound healing and drainage of fluids and infected materials from the wound into a disposable or reusable canister.
The BlueSky versatile 1 Wound Vacuum System (V1 WVS) consists of a medium sized housing that contains a vacuum pump and control system with a location for a fluid canister system. Accessories include are a vehicle power adaptor and a Mobil Stand. A variety of disposables are available from a number of medical device manufacturers depending on the pump application. For the expanded indication of use for wound healing the Chariker -Jeter® accessory kits would be available from BlueSky Medical. This kit consists of individually reviewed medical components that have added instructions for use.
The Versatile 1 Wound Vacuum system is an ideal pump for military use and triage use. By combining a unit that can be used for wound resolution as well as tracheal use or for use in the operating theatre a minimum of products can be used for maximum versatility. The BlueSky V1 WVS is 15 inches by 11.2 inches by 6.7 inches and weighs 11.2 pounds. The battery will last for 30-45 minutes when not plugged in. the Pump can additionally be powered by a 12 volt source such as a cigarette lighter adaptor.
Switching the power switch to either continuous or intermittent suction turns on the pump. Pressing inwards on the suction control knob and then turning the knob in the desired direction adjust the level of suction. The knob will lock when it is not pressed to avoid accidental changes. The operator will view the suction gauge and when proper suction is reached the knob can be released.
Canisters
The pump includes a 250ml reusable polysulfone canister that can be autoclaved. The canister includes a mechanical overflow float to prevent backups into the pump itself. The canister can be autoclaved in a standard hospital autoclave for 134 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. The pump also includes a 800ml liter disposable canister that has a mechanical overflow float. This canister is non-sterile and is designed by be discarded when full or partially full.
Single Use Disposables
Marketed as part of the VI Wound Vacuum System is a disposable kit. This kit is named after the pioneers in the field Katherine Jeter and Dr. Mark Chariker who popularized this technique of wound drainage, which caused wounds to heal more rapidly. "From the days of drainage through ostomy pouches to the current use of suction systems there has evolved a closed suction system incorporating moist wound management principals with the benefits of an inert silicone drain to maximize wound healing" "
The Chariker-Jeter wound vacuum system accessory kit. These kits consist of products from existing manufacturers that have met the regulatory requirements of the FDA. They include an additional set of instructions for use. The Kits include:
- Silicone or Wound drain
- Connecting tubing
- Impregnated gauze
- Gauze fill Material
- Polyurethane Cover dressing
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided documents. Please note that this document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (a wound vacuum system) and primarily establishes substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than presenting a performance study with detailed acceptance criteria and results as one might expect for a novel high-risk device or AI model.
The document focuses on demonstrating that the "Versatile 1 Wound Vacuum System" is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here are generally related to the device's functional specifications being comparable to the predicate devices and its ability to meet its stated indications for use. There isn't a "study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria" in the sense of a clinical trial with specific performance metrics and statistical analysis in this document, but rather a description of the device's design and intended use aligning with existing, approved devices.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
This document describes a 510(k) submission, which relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a new clinical study with a "test set" in the typical sense of a de novo approval or a performance study for an AI/CAD system.
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary as no specific test set data is presented for a new device performance study. The equivalence is based on comparing the design and function of the new device to existing predicate devices.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable for a traditional test set. The 'data' effectively consists of the specifications and performance characteristics of the predicate devices (V.A.C.® Plus and Medela Vario) and the design description of the Versatile 1 Wound Vacuum System.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. This is a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device, not an AI/CAD system requiring expert ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. No "test set" in the context of human interpretation requiring adjudication is mentioned.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This is a submission for a physical medical device, not an AI or CAD system.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a submission for a physical medical device, not an AI or CAD system.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the Versatile 1 Wound Vacuum System's approval is the established safety and effectiveness of its predicate devices:
- V.A.C.® Plus (510(k) No. 945062)
- Medela Vario (510(k) No. 983552)
The new device is deemed acceptable because its technological characteristics, intended use, and performance are substantially equivalent to these already legally marketed and safe/effective devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device where a "training set" of data points would be used to develop an algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. As above, this document describes a physical medical device, not an AI/ML system, so there is no training set or ground truth derived in that manner. The "ground truth" for the predicate devices would have been established through their original regulatory reviews and market experience.
