The Squid Active Cold Compression device and Cold Pack for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains.
The compression device is indicated for temporary increase in circulation of the treated areas in people who are in good health, and simulates kneeding and stroking of tissues using an inflatable garment.
The cold pack is indicated for localized therapy in situations where cold temperature therapy is necessary or desirable.
The Squid Active Cold Compression device and Cold Pack for OTC Use combines intermittent compression with cold therapy. The Squid simulates kneading and stroking of tissues using an inflatable garment attached to a gel ice pack and connected to a preprogrammed air pump. The Squid may be used for the leg, foot, feet, arm, shoulders, lower back, and hands.
The device is manufactured with the following components:
-
- A portable external pump-controller unit containing the pneumatic compressor (air pump) that may be run on AC-DC external power supply or a built-in lithium battery.
-
- A wrap that contains an air bladder with sequential compression capability and Velcro attachments for the cold pack. The wrap connects to the pump controller via a flexible tube. There may also be an accessory piece to the wrap to provide an additional securing mechanism. Wraps come in two configurations and three sizes.
-
- Reusable thermogel cold pack
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Portable Therapeutix Squid Active Cold Compression device and Cold Pack for OTC Use. The primary purpose of this 510(k) is to reclassify an existing prescription-use device (K123829) for over-the-counter (OTC) use. Therefore, the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" largely refers back to the predicate device's clearance information and a specific usability study for the OTC application.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since this 510(k) is primarily for reclassifying an existing device to OTC use, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the substantial equivalence to the predicate device and the specific performance testing performed for the original clearance (K123829), plus a usability study for the OTC shift.
| Acceptance Criteria / Performance Aspect | Reported Device Performance (K133483/K123829) |
|---|---|
| Biocompatibility | Successfully performed and reported in FDA cleared K123829. (Details not provided in this summary). |
| Electrical Safety/EMC (including batteries) | Successfully performed and reported in FDA cleared K1233829. Complies with: IEC 60601-1:1988 + A1:1991 + A2:1995 (Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Requirements for Safety) and IEC 60601-1-2:2007 (Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and Tests). (Details not provided in this summary). |
| Bench Testing | Successfully performed and reported in FDA cleared K123829. Includes: Baseline Verification, Compression Bladder Leak Verification Test, Blow out Valve Test, Gel Pack Seal Leak Test, Low Pressure Verification Test, Max Pressure, Total Time, Max Compression Time, Min Compression Time, Max Deflation Time, Min Deflation Time, Pressure Gauge Data, Solenoid Valve Release Test (High pressure release). (Specific numerical acceptance criteria not provided in this summary, but the tests were "successfully performed"). |
| Shelf Life | Successfully performed and reported in FDA cleared K123829 for batteries and gel pack. (Details not provided in this summary). |
| Reprocessing/Sterilization | The device is reusable and not supplied sterile. Cleaning instructions are included in the Instructions for Use. (Demonstrates acceptable cleaning protocol). |
| Usability for OTC Use | A summative Usability Study was successfully conducted on representative users for OTC use. Findings from the study served to validate that the device is usable by its intended users. (Specific metrics or pass/fail criteria for usability not detailed, but the study was "successfully conducted"). |
| Intended Use Equivalence | The device has the same indications for use as the predicate, with the addition of OTC use. (No change in functionality for the specified indications). |
| Mechanical Characteristics | Intermittent compression, 4 intensity settings (1-30 mmHg, 2-50 mmHg, 3-70 mmHg, 4-85 mmHg), pressure range 0-85 mmHg, total treatment time 15 minutes, microprocessor and pressure sensor control, pressurization pump inflation, exhaust valve deflation. These are identical to the predicate device. |
| Components | Same components as the predicate device (portable external pump-controller, wraps with air bladder, reusable thermogel cold pack), with the addition of alignment markers on wraps/gel pack for user assistance. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Test Set (for Usability Study): "representative users for OTC use." The specific sample size is not disclosed in this summary.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the submission is to the US FDA, implying an expectation of US-centric or internationally recognized standards. The usability study would have been prospective to evaluate OTC use. The original K123829 performance data would have been generated during the device's development/validation.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- There is no mention of "experts" to establish ground truth for a test set in the context of medical image analysis or diagnosis. For this device (cold compression massager), the evaluation is against engineering specifications and user comprehension/safety.
- For the usability study, "representative users" were involved, not "experts" establishing ground truth in a diagnostic sense.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable to this type of device and study. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical trials or diagnostic studies where there's a need to resolve discrepancies in expert interpretations of data (e.g., medical images). The usability study would likely have involved user observation and task completion rates.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices (e.g., AI-powered image analysis) where the performance of human readers (e.g., radiologists) is compared with and without AI intervention. The Portable Therapeutix Squid is a physical therapy device, not a diagnostic tool where "human readers" are involved in interpretation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- This is not applicable to the Portable Therapeutix Squid device. There is no "algorithm" in the sense of AI or image processing being evaluated in a standalone mode. The device's function is mechanical compression and cold therapy. Its "standalone performance" refers to its ability to meet engineering specifications (e.g., pressure output, safety). These were part of the bench testing for K123829.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- For K123829 (Predicate device performance): The ground truth was based on engineering specifications, safety standards compliance (e.g., electrical safety), and the successful execution of various bench tests (e.g., pressure verification, leak tests, shelf life).
- For K133483 (OTC Usability): Ground truth was established by demonstrating that representative lay users could safely and effectively operate the device and understand its instructions for use without professional guidance. This typically involves observing task completion, questionnaire responses, and identifying critical use errors.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a "training set" in that context. The "training" for the device's function would be its design, manufacturing, and calibration processes.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the machine learning sense for this device.
