Torbot Vascular Compression Garments, custom and ready-to-wear, help to prevent pooling of blood and fluid in the extremities by applying controlled graduated pressure. The fabric used is comprised of nylon and spandex which is used in the predicate devices.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Torbot Vascular Compression Garments, indicating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It does not contain information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or any of the other specific study-related details requested in the prompt.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and study details. This submission focuses on regulatory equivalence rather than detailed performance testing.

V. Intended Use

Torbot Vascular Compression Garments are intended to be used to apply pressure to the extremity and are indicated for use in the management of pooling of blood and/or lymphedema.

VI. Technological Characteristics of Device Compared to Predicate Device

Compression for the Torbot Vascular Garments, as well as all the predicate devices, is provided by elastic yarns that act circumferentially on the extremity. The gradient compression present in these products helps reduce capillary leakage and improve capillary and lymphatic drainage and/or absorption. Consequently, they can be used to manage the same indications, i.e. edema and lymphedema.
