Intended Use
The Renew NCP-5 External Counterpulsation System is intended for the treatment of chronic stable angina that is refractory to optimal anti-anginal medical therapy and without options for revascularization. In addition, it is intended for use in healthy patients to provide improvement in vasodilation, increased VO2, and increased blood flow. It is intended for use under the oversight of a healthcare professional.
Device Description
The Renew"" NCP-5 External Counterpulsation System (ECS) is comprised of the following major components, a switch panel, laptop PC computer, a foldable treatment bed, main unit, and a set of patient cuffs. The device is a microprocessor-controlled system that sequentially inflates then deflates three pairs of air cuffs, which compress vascular beds in the muscles of the calves, thighs, and buttocks in synchrony with the heart cycle to achieve the desired therapy.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on microprocessor control and synchronized inflation/deflation based on the heart cycle, without mentioning AI or ML algorithms for decision-making or adaptation.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of chronic stable angina, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device. It also provides improvement in vasodilation, increased VO2, and increased blood flow, which are physiological changes aimed at improving health.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose as therapeutic by sequentially inflating and deflating air cuffs to compress vascular beds for treatment, rather than identifying or analyzing disease.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a switch panel, laptop PC computer, treatment bed, main unit, and patient cuffs, indicating it is a hardware-based system with software control.

Based on the provided information, the Renew NCP-5 External Counterpulsation System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Renew NCP-5 system does not interact with or analyze any bodily specimens.
  • The device description clearly states it's a system that uses external cuffs to compress vascular beds. This is a physical therapy/treatment method, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • The intended use is for treating chronic stable angina and improving physiological parameters in healthy patients. These are therapeutic and physiological effects, not diagnostic information derived from specimens.

Therefore, the Renew NCP-5 External Counterpulsation System falls under the category of a therapeutic or physical medicine device, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

Cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization testing per ISO 10993 was performed to evaluate the biocompatibility of the patient contacting materials. Electrical safety and EMC compatibility testing per IEC 60601 was performed to ensure appropriate electrical performance. The software and firmware used in the system was validated per FDA's guidance document. In all instances, the NCP-5 system functioned as intended. In addition, a literature review regarding the use of external counterpulsation in healthy patients was provided to support this additional indication.

§ 870.5225 External counter-pulsating device.

(a)
Identification. An external counter-pulsating device is a noninvasive, prescription device used to assist the heart by applying positive or negative pressure to one or more of the body's limbs in synchrony with the heart cycle.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) when the device is intended for the treatment of chronic stable angina that is refractory to optimal anti-anginal medical therapy and without options for revascularization. The special controls for this device are:(i) Nonclinical performance evaluation of the device must demonstrate a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for applied pressure, synchronization of therapy with the appropriate phase of the cardiac cycle, and functionality of alarms during a device malfunction or an abnormal patient condition;
(ii) Reliabilities of the mechanical and electrical systems must be established through bench testing under simulated use conditions and matched by appropriate maintenance schedules;
(iii) Software design and verification and validation must be appropriately documented;
(iv) The skin-contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(v) Appropriate analysis and testing must be conducted to verify electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the device; and
(vi) Labeling must include a detailed summary of the device-related and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device.
(2) Class III (premarket approval) for the following intended uses: Unstable angina pectoris; acute myocardial infarction; cardiogenic shock; congestive heart failure; postoperative treatment of patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass surgery; peripheral arterial disease associated with ischemic ulcers rest pain or claudication, threatened gangrene, insufficient blood supply at an amputation site, persisting ischemia after embolectomy or bypass surgery, and/or pre- and post-arterial reconstruction to improve runoff; diabetes complicated by peripheral arterial disease or other conditions possibly related to arterial insufficiency including nocturnal leg cramps and/or necrobiosis diabeticorum; venous diseases, including prophylaxis of deep vein thrombophlebitis, edema (e.g., chronic lymphedema) and/or induration (e.g., stasis dermatitis) associated with chronic venous stasis, venous stasis ulcers, and/or thrombophlebitis; athletic injuries, including Charley horses, pulled muscles and/or edematous muscles; necrotizing cellulitis.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with FDA on or before March 31, 2014, for any external counter-pulsating device, with an intended use described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before March 31, 2014, been found to be substantially equivalent to any external counter-pulsating device, with an intended use described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other external counter-pulsating device with an intended use described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
