The device description focuses on mechanical components (air bladders, compressor, manometer) and their function in applying pressure. There is no mention of any computational or data-driven processes that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes.
The device is intended "to assist in the management of venous stasis ulcers by applying pressure," which is a therapeutic purpose. The description further states that it is meant to "redistribute and apply pressure to the venous ulcer" to aid in the healing process, explicitly linking the device's function to treatment.
No
The device is designed to apply pressure to assist in the management of venous stasis ulcers, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. While it has a manometer to measure pressure, it is explicitly stated that it is "for reference only and is not meant to be used for accurate measurements of pressure," indicating it's not for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a Leg Compressor, Pre-Filled Air Bladder (PFAB), polyurethane bladder, medical adhesive, hydrophilic foam, urethane film, Nylon fabric, a self-adjusting manometer, and a safety release valve. These are all hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The described device is a mechanical compression system designed to apply pressure to venous stasis ulcers. It works externally on the body and does not analyze any biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "assist in the management of venous stasis ulcers by applying pressure," which is a physical therapy/wound care function, not an in vitro diagnostic function.
The device's mechanism of action and intended use clearly fall outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The device includes a Leg Compressor and a Pre-Filled Air Bladder (PFAB).
The PFAB does not apply pressure, but when it is used in conjunction with a compression bandage, it will exert local pressure (because of the air pocket). Compression bandages exert pressure, therefore the pre-filled air bladder will redistribute the pressure that the bandage would already by supplying.
Overall the device is meant to redistribute and apply pressure to the venous ulcer. It has been found over the years that compression bandages or stockings healed more venous leg ulcers than no compression.
If the venous ulcer is kept covered and clean with applied pressure the healing process is more effective. The concept behind this device is to keep the wound covered and apply pressure on the wound.
The PFAB is an oval shaped polyurethane pre-filled air bladder with four flanges. The tips of the flanges have medical adhesive, which adheres to the skin. The bottom of the PFAB has medical grade hydrophilic foam, which will cover the ulcer and is used to absorb the exudates.
The PFAB will be offered in three sizes (Small, Medium, and Large). The dimensions are as follows:
Size: Small, Dimensions (Length x Width): 2" x 1.5", Flanges: 1.5", Tape (thickness): 0.75"
Size: Medium, Dimensions (Length x Width): 4.5" x 2.5", Flanges: 1.5", Tape (thickness): 0.75"
Size: Large, Dimensions (Length x Width): 6" x 4", Flanges: 1.5", Tape (thickness): 0.75"
The leg compressor is used to hold the PBAB in place and apply additional pressure. The leg compressor contains an air chamber that is made of 2 layers of urethane film. The outer black fabric is Nylon. The leg compressor also has a self adjusting manometer attached to the outside to measure the pressure within the air bladder, which will be situated along the Great Saphenous Vein.
The manometer is used for reference only and is not meant to be used for accurate measurements of pressure.
The Leg Compressor includes a safety release valve to deflate the compressor. In addition, the manometer is color coded. As a precaution the user should not inflate the compressor in the red zone.
The pressure at the beginning of the red zone is approximately 30 mm Hg, which is similar to the pressure from a typical Umma Boot or compression bandage.

The device includes a Leg Compressor and a Pre-Filled Air Bladder (PFAB).
The PFAB does not apply pressure, but when it is used in conjunction with a compression bandage, it will exert local pressure (because of the air pocket). Compression bandages exert pressure, therefore the pre-filled air bladder will redistribute the pressure that the bandage would already by supplying.
Overall the device is meant to redistribute and apply pressure to the venous ulcer. It has been found over the years that compression bandages or stockings healed more venous leg ulcers than no compression.1

If the venous ulcer is kept covered and clean with applied pressure the healing process is more effective. The concept behind this device is to keep the wound covered and apply pressure on the wound.

The PFAB is an oval shaped polyurethane pre-filled air bladder with four flanges. The tips of the flanges have medical adhesive, which adheres to the skin. The bottom of the PFAB has medical grade hydrophilic foam, which will cover the ulcer and is used to absorb the exudates.
