Intended Use
The V.A.C. ® Therapy System is an integrated wound management system for use in acute, extended and home care settings. It is intended to create an environment that promotes wound healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exudate and infectious material. It is indicated for patients with chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic or pressure), flaps and grafts. The V.A.C.® GranuFoam® Silver™ Dressing is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration and may help reduce infection in the above wound types.
Device Description
The ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit is designed for the application of V.A.C. Therapy in the acute, extended and home care settings. The software-controlled therapy unit applies negative pressure to the wound bed. The open cells of the V.A.C. ® Foam Dressing to which the therapy unit is connected enable distribution of the negative pressure across the surface of the wound, while the tubing transfers accumulated fluids to the canister. The software monitors and maintains target pressure and alarms as needed to help assure target pressure is maintained and constant therapy is delivered. The safety features of the system include additional alarms, such as those that signal for tubing blockages, a full or missing collection canister, inactive therapy, low battery, and leaks in the seal of the dressing. Optional ancillary features include: Seal Check™ for identifying dressing leaks, a Therapy Settings Guide that provides options for therapy settings based on the recommendations in the KCI Clinical Guidelines, a screen guard feature that prevents unintentional screen changes, an exportable Therapy History Report via an IrDA or USB data port, and a Log Tool for recording canister changes, dressing changes and dressing pieces used.
More Information

No
The description focuses on software-controlled pressure regulation, alarms, and data logging, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for decision-making or analysis.

Yes

The device is intended to promote wound healing, reduce edema, promote tissue formation, and remove exudate, which are all therapeutic actions.

No

The device is described as an "integrated wound management system" that applies negative pressure to promote wound healing. Its functions are therapeutic, such as removing exudate, promoting tissue formation, and maintaining pressure, and it does not make any diagnoses.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "software-controlled therapy unit" that applies negative pressure and includes hardware components like tubing, a canister, and a therapy unit. While software is a key part of its function, it is not a software-only 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 manage wounds by applying negative pressure to promote healing. This is a therapeutic intervention applied directly to the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a system that applies negative pressure to a wound bed, removes exudate, and monitors pressure. This is a physical therapy device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a condition, analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue), or provide information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is applied to the "Wound bed," which is a direct application to the patient's body, not an in vitro analysis.

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

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Nonclinical tests: The new optional, ancillary features were evaluated under a number of verification and validation tests in order to assure conformance to design specifications.
Clinical tests: A review of a large body of clinical data from randomized controlled trials, literature reports, and registry/MDR databases documents the safe use of the predicate V.A.C.® Freedom® Therapy Unit in the home care setting. An engineering analysis of device performance documents that the ActiV.A.C.® and V.A.C. Freedom® are equivalent in the delivery of negative pressure wound therapy, and that ActiV.A.C.® improves upon V.A.C. Freedom® in the elements that affect safety and usability in the home care setting. This analysis concludes that the existing clinical data can be used to predict the safety of the ActiV.A.C.® Therapy System in the home care setting.
Conclusions: Verification and validation testing conducted under design control requirements document that the ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit and the predicate V.A.C. Freedom® Therapy Unit are equivalent in terms of technology and performance specifications for the delivery of negative pressure wound therapy. New optional ancillary features have been determined to meet performance specifications. Clinical data supporting the safe use of the V.A.C. Freedom® Therapy Unit in the home care setting are also applicable to the ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit.
