Intended Use
The Currie Medical ALP Pediatric Calf Compression Sleeves (all sizes) are recommended for the use in pediatric patients for whom external compression the ALTERNATING LEG PRESSURE® (ALP®) SYSTEM is indicated to reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis and resulting pulmonary embolism due to the presence of risk factors for thrombosis formation.
Device Description
Currie Medical Specialties (CMS) ALP® pediatric compression sleeves are compression devices, which when attached to the ALP® 501 Pump System, provide intermittent pneumatic pressure to a patient's leg for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). When the compression sleeve is inflated, the veins collapse, which forces blood to move upward the heart. After compression is complete, the sleeves deflate which allows the veins to reopen and bring oxygenated blood to the calf. The inflation and deflation sequence is predicated by the ALP® 501 Pump System controller.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of the compression sleeves and the pump system's controller, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for decision-making or data analysis. The performance studies are bench tests evaluating mechanical integrity and function, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is described as reducing the incidence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is a therapeutic device designed to reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis by applying intermittent pneumatic pressure to the patient's leg, rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "compression device" and mentions "compression sleeves" and "bladders," which are physical hardware components. It also describes bench testing related to these physical components (bladder leak test, bladder seal pull test, velcro functionality test, inflation-deflation time test).

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Currie Medical ALP Pediatric Calf Compression Sleeves are external compression devices that apply pneumatic pressure to the calf. They work mechanically to aid blood flow and prevent DVT.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its function is purely mechanical and external.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Bench testing was conducted to ensure that the smaller sizing did not compromise the performance or safety and efficacy of the device in a manner that is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices (K955853).

Bench testing was conducted to demonstrate a bladder leak test where the bladders were pressurized to 3 psi to ensure the bladders did not leak at this pressure and were not affected by the design change. A bladder seal pull test was performed, where the bladder seal was pulled apart at > 5 lbs of force to demonstrate the seals were intact and were not affected by the design change. A velcro functionality test was performed where bladders were pressurized to 2 psi to determine velcro adhesion remained intact at this pressure and were not affected by the design change. Finally, an inflation-deflation time test was performed to demonstrate product integrity remained the same in comparison to the predicate device. This required the devices to be inflated to 40 mm Hg and monitor the pressure over time. The series of data demonstrated that the design change did not affect the performance, or the safety and efficacy of the device.

Device Description:

Currie Medical Specialties (CMS) ALP® pediatric compression sleeves are compression devices, which when attached to the ALP® 501 Pump System, provide intermittent pneumatic pressure to a patient's leg for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). When the compression sleeve is inflated, the veins collapse, which forces blood to move upward the heart. After compression is complete, the sleeves deflate which allows the veins to reopen and bring oxygenated blood to the calf. The inflation and deflation sequence is predicated by the ALP® 501 Pump System controller.

Intended Use:

The intended use of this device, as well as the predicate device, is to provide external limb compression in order to artificially imitate the pumping action of the leg muscles. This provides muscle contraction required by the venous return system, thereby helping to prevent venous stasis and subsequent thrombosis and embolism. The cyclic and alternating inflation of the garments closely simulates the normal healthy pumping action of the limb muscles to stimulate deep venous blood flow and the reactivation or increase in the body's fibrinolytic system.

This submission is intended for use of the pump at pressure levels of 40 mm Hg.

Inside the square is a blue circle. To the right of the geometric shape are three lines of text. The first line is 'C', the second line is 'N', and the third line is 'S'.

Indications for Use:

The Currie Medical ALP Pediatric Calf Compression Sleeves (all sizes) are recommended for the use in pediatric patients for whom external compression therapy using the ALTERNATING LEG PRESSURE® (ALP®) SYSTEM is indicated to reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis and resulting pulmonary embolism due to the presence of risk factors for thrombosis formation.

Technological characteristics of the CMS ALP Pediatric Calf Compression Sleeves:

The CMS ALP Pediatric Calf Compression Sleeves indications for use, fundamental scientific technology, overall design, materials, energy source, mode of operation, performance characteristics are identical and no different than the predicate device.

Summary of Comparison Tests (Non-Clinical Tests):

Bench testing was conducted to ensure that the smaller sizing did not compromise the performance or safety and efficacy of the device in a manner that is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices (K955853).

Bench testing was conducted to demonstrate a bladder leak test where the bladders were pressurized to 3 psi to ensure the bladders did not leak at this pressure and were not affected by the design change. A bladder seal pull test was performed, where the bladder seal was pulled apart at > 5 lbs of force to demonstrate the seals were intact and were not affected by the design change. A velcro functionality test was performed where bladders were pressurized to 2 psi to determine velcro adhesion remained intact at this pressure and were not affected by the design change. Finally, an inflation-deflation time test was performed to demonstrate product integrity remained the same in comparison to the predicate device. This required the devices to be inflated to 40 mm Hg and monitor the pressure over time. The series of data demonstrated that the design change did not affect the performance, or the safety and efficacy of the device.

Biocompatibility

Due to the materials used in the predicate and pediatric device(s) being identical to each other, biocompatibility of the CMS ALP® Pediatric Calf Compression sleeves is not affected.

Summary

The intended use and performance testing demonstrate that the Currie Medical ALP Pediatric Caff Compression Sleeves (all sizes) are substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K955853).
