No
The device description and intended use focus on pneumatic compression and electronic control, with no mention of AI or ML technologies. The performance studies also focus on electrical safety and pressure delivery, not algorithmic performance.
Yes
The device is described as being used to "help prevent the onset of DVT," "enhance blood circulation," "diminish post-operative pain and swelling," and "aid in the treatment and healing of: stasis dermatitis, venous stasis ulcers, arterial and diabetic leg ulcers, chronic venous insufficiency, and reduction of edema in the lower limbs." These are all therapeutic uses.
No
The device is intended to prevent DVT, enhance blood circulation, and aid in the treatment and healing of various conditions by stimulating blood flow. It does not perform any diagnostic function to identify or assess medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components including a pump unit, solenoid valves, leg cuff(s), a plastic shell housing, a membrane switch, quick disconnects, an external power supply input jack, and a rechargeable battery. This indicates it is a physical medical device with integrated software for control, 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 clearly describes a device that applies external pressure to the legs to stimulate blood flow and prevent DVT. This is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
- Device Description: The device description details a pneumatic compression system with cuffs and a pump. This aligns with a physical therapy or medical device for external application, not a device for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There is no indication of providing diagnostic information based on the analysis of such samples.
The device is a therapeutic and prophylactic medical device that works by applying external pressure to the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Compression Care Flight is intended to be an easy to use, portable system that is prescribed by healthcare professionals, to help prevent the onset of DVT in patients, by stimulating blood flow in the legs (simulating muscle contractions). Furthermore, the unit can be used as an aid in the prophylaxis for DVT by persons traveling, or those expecting to be stationary for long periods of time (greater than 4 hours). This device can also be used to: aid in the prevention of DVT, enhance blood circulation, diminish post-operative pain and swelling, reduce wound healing time, and aid in the treatment and healing of: stasis dermatitis, venous stasis ulcers, arterial and diabetic leg ulcers, chronic venous insufficiency, and reduction of edema in the lower limbs.

Device Description
The Compression Care Flight system is a light weight, portable, prescriptive device that helps stimulate blood flow in the legs through the use of pneumatically controlled, single chamber leg cuff(s), actuated by an electronically controlled pump unit and solenoid valves. All pump control unit components are protectively housed in a plastic shell except the outer membrane switch (needed for user interface), 2 plastic quick disconnects for air tube connection, and an external power supply input jack. The option exists for the unit to be used in single leg or double leg modes.
The control unit is supplied with a non-serviceable, rechargeable battery, to allow user portability, and a power supply transformer for mains connection.

Substantial Equivalence of Technological Characteristics:
The Compression Care Flight is similar to the predicate device listed above in the function and operating principles to achieve identical results. The Compression Care Flight offers greater treatment flexibility due to the portability, adjustable pressure, and cycle time capabilities. Our system uses a microprocessor controlled pump to deliver pressurized air (programmable up to 65 mmHg) to bladders that are attached to the patient's lower limbs, using a cycle of approximately 60 seconds / leg as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Each cycle consists of one inflation (fill time approximately 10-12 seconds) followed by deflation. The Compression Care Flight has the capability of allowing a healthcare professional the following feature adjustment options: pressure set point (programmable up to 65 mmHg), hold time (0 seconds, not adjustable), cycle time (60-75 seconds). The cycle time is the length of time for one complete cycle on one leg including fill time, exhaust, and idle time (relaxation).
The Compression Care Flight uses similar means for pressure delivery as the predicate device. Pressurized air is delivered by the pump to the leg cuffs via flexible, plastic air tubes connected to the plastic pump / control unit by locking, quick disconnect couplings. Like the DVT Care CA5, the Compression Care Flight leg cuffs are comprised of a single bladder PVC chambers encased in a soft Nylon material to increase patient comfort and compliance.
Like the DVT Care CAS, the microprocessor and pump units are powered by an internal battery supply and can be connected to the mains power supply for operation and recharging.
Non-Clinical Testing
Non-clinical validation including electrical safety and performance testing have shown that the Compression Care Flight has performance characteristics substantially equivalent to or superseding the listed predicate device. The Compression Care Flight has been validated by Medical Minds at a design validation level based on the requirements of IEC 60601-1. Additional bench testing has verified equivalent pressure delivery, cuff (garment) fill time, cycle time and system operation as the predicate device listed. Test reports can be found in Appendix 1.
Conclusion:
The Compression Care Flight is designed for the same intended use as the predicate device, the DVT Care CA5. This comparison of the specifications demonstrates the functional equivalence of the products. The differences discussed in this section do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. Verification and validation testing demonstrated that no adverse effects have been introduced by these differences.
Medical Minds LLC believes that the Compression Care Flight is as safe and effective and performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
