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 two different modes for inflation. The system defaults to Standard Operation which inflates the cuffs one leg at a time, alternating between the two legs once every 30 seconds. The cuffs inflate within less than 0.5 seconds. The system has an alternate S Mode which inflates both cuffs at the same time, once every 60 seconds. The cuffs inflate in approximately 10 seconds. 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

Not Found

No
The description details a mechanical intermittent pneumatic compression device with different modes and power options. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any data processing that would suggest such technology is incorporated.

No.
The device is used for prophylaxis of DVT, meaning it prevents a condition rather than treating an existing one.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for prophylaxis of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) by assisting blood flow using pneumatic compression, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "intermittent pneumatic compression device" and mentions hardware components like cuffs, tubing, and a battery, indicating it is a physical device with software control, not a software-only medical device.

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 action applied directly to the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is an "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 is a physical intervention applied externally to the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue donations, derived from the human body, in order to provide information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures. The description of the Aircast VenaFlow Elite System does not involve the examination of any specimens from the human body.

Therefore, the Aircast VenaFlow Elite System is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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

A Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was created to adequately assess the risks of the device. Known and potential hazards for operation of the Aircast VenaFlow Elite System were evaluated for risk and the severity of the failure effects to the user and probability of occurrence were categorized.

A Human Factors and Usability Study was conducted to validate the usability of the Aircast VenaFlow Elite System in the home environment. The result of the Human Factors and Usability Study substantiates the acceptability of the risks identified during the risk assessment activities.

The modified device meets Electrical Safety testing according to IEC 60601-1 and Electromagnetic Compatibility according to IEC 60601-1-2.

Dear Lorri Trotter:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA 's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
