Intended Use
The Cardiomedics, Inc., CardiAssist Counter Pulsation System - Series 4000 is intended to provide external Counterpulsation (ECP) for the treatment of ischemic heart disease by increasing perfusion during diastole in people with chronic 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 or myocardial infarction and may enhance coronary function.
Device Description
The Cardiomedics CardiAssist External Counter Pulsation System - Series 4000 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, chronic angina pectoris, acute 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 External Counter Pulsation System - Series 4000 consists of the portable console containing the computer and pumps with a touch screen for user interface, an integral patient chart printer, and leg cuffs and hoses. Additional components provided with the System include a finger plethysmograph and 5-lead ECG cable and leads (12 lead optional) and blood pressure cuff. 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.
More Information

Not Found

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

Yes.
The device is intended to treat ischemic heart disease by increasing perfusion and reducing pain and impairment associated with various heart conditions, which directly addresses a medical condition.

No

The device is described as a non-invasive circulatory assist device intended for treatment, not diagnosis. It provides external counterpulsation (ECP) to improve circulation and cardiac function. Its components, such as a finger plethysmograph, ECG cable, and blood pressure cuff, are used for synchronization and monitoring during treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a portable console, pumps, touch screen, printer, leg cuffs, hoses, finger plethysmograph, ECG cable and leads, and blood pressure cuff.

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 Counter Pulsation System - Series 4000 is a non-invasive circulatory assist device. It works by applying external pressure to the legs and buttocks to improve blood flow and cardiac function. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the treatment of ischemic heart disease through external counterpulsation, not through the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a therapeutic or physiological support device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.
