Intended Use
LF-400 is intended for use by medical professionals and patients at home, who are under medical supervision, in treating many conditions, such as : Primary lymphedema, Edema following trauma and sport injuries, Postimmobilization edema, Venous insufficiencies. Lymphedema.
Device Description
LF400 is the pressurization system helping to relieve the symptom of lymphedema and prevent aggravation of symptoms by applying the air pressure to limbs. LF400 comprises 4-step sleeves which move the body fluids through the limbs by evenly applying pressure to the limbs. The basic set of Air Compression Therapy System consists of the main body, which includes the air pump that generates air pressure and control panel, air hose that transfers air pressure and cutoff sleeve (cuff) for leg and its accessories include overlapping sleeve (cuff) for leg, cutoff sleeve (cuff) for arm, overlapping sleeve (cuff) for arm, cutoff sleeve (cuff) for waist and pants sleeve (cuff). The device consists of 4 parts-PCB, control panel, air pump (AC motor pump) and distributor (solenoid).
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The summary describes a mechanical air compression system with a control panel and air pump. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest the use of such technologies. The performance studies focus on electrical safety, biocompatibility, and software validation, not AI/ML performance metrics.

Yes.
The device is intended for treating various medical conditions such as lymphedema and edema, and it applies air pressure to limbs to relieve symptoms, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is to "relieve the symptom of lymphedema and prevent aggravation of symptoms by applying the air pressure to limbs." This indicates a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a main body with an air pump and control panel, air hoses, and various types of sleeves (cuffs). It also mentions internal components like PCB, control panel, air pump (AC motor pump), and distributor (solenoid). This indicates it is a physical medical device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the LF-400 device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for treating conditions like lymphedema and edema by applying external air pressure to limbs. This is a physical therapy or medical device application, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description details a pressurization system with sleeves and an air pump. This aligns with a physical therapy or medical device used for external treatment, not an IVD which would involve reagents, analyzers, or other components for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the LF-400 is a medical device used for therapeutic purposes, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:

Biocompatibility testing (ISO10993-5, ISO10993-10)

Electrical safety and performance testing were conducted according to standard IEC 60601-1: 2005 + CORR.1(2006) + CORR(2007) and EMC testing were conducted in accordance with standard IEC 60601-1-2:2007.

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documented as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software would not directly result in serious injury or death to the patient or operator.

Overall Performance Conclusions

All test results were satisfactory.

VII. CONCLUSIONS

In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification DaeSung Maref Co, Ltd. concludes that LF-400 Compressible Limb Therapy System is safe and effective and substantially equivalent in comparison with LX7 (V7), the predicate device as described herein.
