Device Description
The Aircast VenaFlow Elite System is a prescription only, intermittent pneumatic compression device designed to apply rapid inflation with graduated sequential compression to a patient's calf, thigh or foot for the purpose of assisting blood flow in the veins. This rapid inflation and graduated, sequential compression device accelerates venous velocity and enhances fibrinolysis. The Aircast VenaFlow Elite System provides the user with an option of battery operation in addition to operation from the mains power. The Aircast VenaFlow Elite System is easy to use and provides the user with several cuff type options: calf, thigh and foot as well as combined compression of any combination of two cuffs. The Aircast VenaFlow Elite System is available in two configurations. The CLINICAL configuration is for medical facilities and offers the full range of accessories including cuffs, varying tube lengths, optional battery and replacement kits. The HOME configuration is for home use and is provided with simplified patient instructions and offers a specific set of accessories limited to calf cuffs and tubing.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical compression and power options, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities. The performance studies are related to risk analysis, usability, and electrical safety, not AI/ML performance metrics.

Yes
The device is intended for the "prophylaxis for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)", which is a preventive medical treatment to avoid a disease. This indicates a therapeutic (preventive) rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device description states its purpose is "Prophylaxis for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)" and to "assist blood flow in the veins" by applying compression. This is a preventative and therapeutic function, not one that diagnoses a condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a pneumatic compression device, battery operation, mains power, and various cuff types (calf, thigh, foot).

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Prophylaxis for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) for use in a clinical setting or in the home." This describes a therapeutic or preventative medical device, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical device that applies pressure to the limbs to assist blood flow. This is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, assays, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Aircast VenaFlow Elite System is a therapeutic medical device, not an IVD.
