More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical compression garment and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the management of medical conditions such as lymphedema, edematous conditions, phlebitis, and vascular disorders by applying pressure to the extremities, which clearly defines it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a garment used to apply pressure to extremities for managing lymphedema, edematous conditions, phlebitis, and vascular disorders. Its function is to prevent pooling of blood and fluid, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic action.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical garment made of nylon and spandex, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to apply pressure to the extremities for managing conditions like lymphedema, edema, phlebitis, and vascular disorders. This is a physical intervention applied to the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a compression garment made of fabric. This is a physical device, not a reagent, instrument, or system used for testing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on laboratory tests.

Therefore, the VenoTrain curaflow compression garments are a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Section 5: 510(k) Summary

Intended Use

The VenoTrain curaflow compression garments are intended to be used to apply pressure to the extremities and are indicated for use in management of lymphedema and other edematous conditions, phlebitis, and vascular disorders.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The VenoTrain curaflow is substantially equivalent to its predicates because it has the same intended use and very similar technological characteristics.

Both the VenoTrain curaflow and its predicates are intended to apply pressure, by elastic yarns that act circumferentially on the extremity, to manage lymphedema and other edematous conditions, phlebitis, and vascular disorders.

Dear Ms. Exner:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
