The PlasmaFlow, model PF0001, is intended to be an easy to use portable system, prescribed by a physician, for use in the home or clinical setting to help prevent the onset of DVT in patients by stimulating blood flow in the extremities (simulating muscle contractions). This device can be used to:
- · Aid in the prevention of DVT;
- · Enhance blood circulation;
- · Diminish post-operative pain and swelling;
- · Reduce wound healing time;
- Aid in the treatment and healing of: stasis dermatitis, venous stasis ulcers, arterial and diabetic leg ulcers, chronic venous insufficiency and reduction of edema in the lower limbs.
The unit can also be used as an aid in the prophylaxis for DVT by persons expecting to be stationary for long periods of time.
The PlasmaFlow is an ambulatory, portable, light weight, prescriptive intermittent pneumatic compression system intended to provide sequential compression therapy to a patient's lower limbs. All pump control unit components are protectively enclosed in a plastic casing which is fixated to a single chamber cuff. The unit is supplied with a nonserviceable, rechargeable battery, to allow user portability, and a power supply transformer for main connection.
The PlasmaFlow is an ambulatory, portable, light weight, prescriptive device intermittent pneumatic compression system intended to provide sequential compression therapy to a patient's lower limbs. The housing on the garment is a lightweight, rechargeable battery-powered, electromechanical control unit intended to provide and digitally monitor through two LED screens the inflation cycle for enhanced circulation therapy. The controller on the sleeve allows the unit to inflate distal to proximal. It is intended to be used in the home, travel situations where altitude or lack of mobility occurs, or clinical setting by or under the direction of a medical professional to help stimulate blood flow as an aid in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
All pump control unit components are protectively enclosed in a plastic casing which is fixated to a single chamber cuff. The unit is supplied with a non-serviceable, rechargeable battery, to allow user portability, and a power supply transformer for main connection. The pump has two LED screens. The screen allows the prescriber and or patient to verify the pressure, the mode, and total run time.
The Patient Sleeve is a single Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) air bladder intended to be attached directly to the patient's lower limb. It is intended to provide compression action to the tissue surrounding the venous vasculature in the calf of a patient. A compression unit with two LED screens is connected to sleeve for a completely ambulatory system. The compression unit has the ability to produce different compression modalities.
Default modality will be the same as the predicated devices, which is, a slow inflation up to 55 mmHg of air through the bladder cells. Once pressure is reached, the unit will deflate for approximately 50 seconds. Then the cycle repeats.
Another compression modality will be the step up technology that inflates the air cells at an increase of 10 mmHg pausing at increments of ten to 50 mmHg, with a final increase of 5 mmHg to 55mmHg. Once 55 mmHg is reached, the unit will decrease to 50 mmHg and then decrease in increments of 10 mmHg.
A single touch control switch located on the top of the unit powers on the unit and switches the mode.
Above the power button, a dual color LED light allows the user to verify for power on, low battery, charging and charge completed indication, and an audible alarm (for indicating a leak or low pressure alarm) provides for user interface. There is also a port for connecting the battery charger/AC adapter plug/USB chord.
The leg wrap (cuff) component consists of a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) air bladder encased inside a soft, non-woven medical fabric made from a Polyester blended medical fabric or equal, which is adhered to the PVC air bladder. The units are supplied clean, non-sterile, packaged in pairs.
In operation, the user simply runs the power ON via the multi-purpose control button. A single user "cuff containing air bladders is connected to the unit. The control unit then fills the cuff to a pressure of 55 mmHg. Cuff pressure is visually monitored by user pressure LED screen, internal pressure switch, and system software. Once the pressure reaches the proper level, the pump is deflated for an approximately 50 second deflate period. The device software ensures the cycle time is a minimum of 60 seconds (the cycle time is the length of time for one complete cycle on one cuff including fill time, exhaust, and relaxation time). The cycle repeats until the unit is turned off.
This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the PlasmaFlow device, which is an intermittent pneumatic compression system intended for preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and improving blood circulation. The submission argues for substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the Innovamed Health Venapro (K133274).
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information provided:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" in the format of specific thresholds for device performance metrics. Instead, it argues for substantial equivalence by comparing the PlasmaFlow (subject device) with the Venapro (predicate device) across various characteristics and showing that they are either identical or that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
However, based on the non-clinical testing performed, we can infer some performance aspects:
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Predicate Equivalence) | PlasmaFlow Reported Performance |
|---|---|
| Device Classification | Compressible Limb Sleeve, 21 CFR 870.5800 |
| FDA Product Code | JOW |
| Function | Aids venous return by using cyclic, intermittent, pneumatic pressure application (inflation followed by deflation) to compress the lower limb(s). |
| Working Pressure | Mode one and Mode two are preset at 55 mmHg. (Predicate: 50 mmHg) |
| Cycle Time | 60 seconds |
| System Diagnostics | Audible and visual alarms prompt recognition of system faults. |
| Battery Specifications | 7.4 volt Li-ion battery pack rechargeable (made of 2 x 3.7 volt cells). |
| Sterility | Clean / non-sterile |
| Leg Cuff Usage | Single Patient Use |
| Biocompatibility | Must pass Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, and Irritation tests according to ISO 10993-1, -5, -10, -12, and USP 35. |
| Electrical Safety & EMC | Must conform to IEC 60601-1, AAMI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62366. |
| Software | Software verification and validation conducted; considered "moderate" level of concern. |
| Risk Management | Must conform to ISO14971, IEC 60812, ISO 13485. |
| Performance (Bench Testing) | Equivalent pressure delivery, cuff (bladder) fill time, cycle time and overall system performance as the predicate devices listed. |
| Leak Burst Pressure | Results of outside testing of pressure, leak, and burst should be similar to predicates. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The submission explicitly states: "No clinical testing was performed on the PlasmaFlow to support the decision of substantial equivalence."
Therefore, there is no specific sample size or test set derived from clinical data for the PlasmaFlow device itself mentioned in this document. The data provenance related to "clinical studies" refers to results from predicate devices and not studies conducted on the PlasmaFlow. The non-clinical testing was in-house bench testing and outside laboratory testing.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
As no clinical testing was performed on the PlasmaFlow and no specific test set data is presented for human interpretation, this information is not applicable to the PlasmaFlow device within this 510(k) submission.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Again, since no clinical test set for human interpretation was used for the PlasmaFlow device, this information is not applicable.
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
The PlasmaFlow is an intermittent pneumatic compression device, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive device. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not applicable as there are no "human readers" interpreting images or data with or without AI assistance in this context.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The PlasmaFlow is a mechanical compression device, not an algorithm. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not applicable. The non-clinical testing (bench testing, electrical safety, EMC, etc.) can be considered "standalone" in the sense that it evaluates the device's technical performance independently.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the PlasmaFlow device based on non-clinical testing:
- Bench Testing: The ground truth for performance metrics like pressure delivery, cuff fill time, and cycle time was established through objective measurements against defined specifications (e.g., 55 mmHg pressure, 60-second cycle time). These are quantifiable engineering parameters.
- Biocompatibility: Ground truth was established through laboratory testing protocols (e.g., ISO 10993 series) to detect cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation.
- Electrical Safety & EMC: Ground truth was established by conformance to international safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series), involving specific test procedures and measurements.
- Risk Management: Conformance to quality management system standards (e.g., ISO 14971, ISO 13485).
For the clinical effectiveness for similar devices (predicates): The document refers to published clinical studies evaluating intermittent pneumatic compression devices, which would typically rely on clinical outcomes data (e.g., DVT incidence, blood flow measurements, reduction in pain/swelling). However, these studies were not specific to PlasmaFlow.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
As the PlasmaFlow is a mechanical medical device and not an AI/algorithm-based system requiring a "training set" of data, this concept is not applicable.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Since a "training set" is not applicable, this information is not relevant.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The PlasmaFlow is an ambulatory, portable, light weight, prescriptive device intermittent pneumatic compression system intended to provide sequential compression therapy to a patient's lower limbs. The housing on the garment is a lightweight, rechargeable batterypowered, electromechanical control unit intended to provide and digitally monitor through two LED screens the inflation cycle for enhanced circulation therapy. The controller on the sleeve allows the unit to inflate distal to proximal. It is intended to be used in the home, travel situations where altitude or lack of mobility occurs, or clinical setting by or under the direction of a medical professional to help stimulate blood flow as an aid in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
All pump control unit components are protectively enclosed in a plastic casing which is fixated to a single chamber cuff. The unit is supplied with a non-serviceable, rechargeable battery, to allow user portability, and a power supply transformer for main connection. The pump has two LED screens. The screen allows the prescriber and or patient to verify the pressure, the mode, and total run time.
The Patient Sleeve is a single Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) air bladder intended to be
{5}------------------------------------------------
attached directly to the patient's lower limb. It is intended to provide compression action to the tissue surrounding the venous vasculature in the calf of a patient. A compression unit with two LED screens is connected to sleeve for a completely ambulatory system. The compression unit has the ability to produce different compression modalities.
Default modality will be the same as the predicated devices, which is, a slow inflation up to 55 mmHg of air through the bladder cells. Once pressure is reached, the unit will deflate for approximately 50 seconds. Then the cycle repeats.
Another compression modality will be the step up technology that inflates the air cells at an increase of 10 mmHg pausing at increments of ten to 50 mmHg, with a final increase of 5 mmHg to 55mmHg. Once 55 mmHg is reached, the unit will decrease to 50 mmHg and then decrease in increments of 10 mmHg.
A single touch control switch located on the top of the unit powers on the unit and switches the mode.
Above the power button, a dual color LED light allows the user to verify for power on, low battery, charging and charge completed indication, and an audible alarm (for indicating a leak or low pressure alarm) provides for user interface. There is also a port for connecting the battery charger/AC adapter plug/USB chord.
The leg wrap (cuff) component consists of a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) air bladder encased inside a soft, non-woven medical fabric made from a Polyester blended medical fabric or equal, which is adhered to the PVC air bladder. The units are supplied clean, non-sterile, packaged in pairs.
In operation, the user simply runs the power ON via the multi-purpose control button. A single user "cuff containing air bladders is connected to the unit. The control unit then fills the cuff to a pressure of 55 mmHg. Cuff pressure is visually monitored by user pressure LED screen, internal pressure switch, and system software. Once the pressure reaches the proper level, the pump is deflated for an approximately 50 second deflate period. The device software ensures the cycle time is a minimum of 60 seconds (the cycle time is the length of time for one complete cycle on one cuff including fill time, exhaust, and relaxation time). The cycle repeats until the unit is turned off.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:
The intended for use for the PlasmaFlow are substantially equivalent to the proposed indications for use for the predicate device. Any differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the PlasmaFlow is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. A comparison of the main characteristics and features of these devices is provided as a table formant and detailed discussion.

The PlasmaFlow is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed in function and operating principals to achieve identical results. The predicate system (VENAPRO-K133274) utilize microprocessor controlled pumps to deliver approximately 50 mmHg of pressurized air to bladders that are attached to the patient's lower limbs, using a cycle time of approximately 60 seconds / leg. Each cycle consists of inflation of a bladder, followed by a rest period during which the bladder deflates and the limb relaxes without any compression.
Multiple audible and visual safety alarms are built into the system, similar to those built into the Venapro, including; Low pressure alarms, low battery alarm and system malfunction overpressure safety alarm.
Cycle and maximum fill times are available in 2 different modes. The default settings are similar to predicate devices in fill time, cycle time and pressure settings. The default pressure setting for the wraps are factory preset at approximately 55 mmHg and cannot be adjusted.
The PlasmaFlow uses similar means for pressure delivery to the cuffs as the predicate devices. Pressurized air is delivered by the pump to the cuffs using an air pump and circuit board that has up to 5 modalities. One unique modality to the PlasmaFlow is step up technology which is modality two. Modality two increases in increments of 10 and stops at 55. Then it decreases in increments of ten.
Unlike Venapro, the PlasmaFlow units visually verify the mmHz through the dual LED screen technology.
Like the VenaPro the PlasmaFlow cuffs are comprised of single bladder PVC chambers encased in a covering of soft, non-latex, non-woven medical fabric (a Polyester blend) or equivalent medical material for increased patient comfort and biocompatibility compliance.
As with the Venapro system, the microprocessor and pump units are powered by internal rechargeable batteries, and can be connected to the main AC power line (through the battery charger / AC adaptor) while in use, allowing uninterrupted prolonged service.
{15}------------------------------------------------
The PlasmaFlow is designed for the same intended use as the predicated device such as the Venapro. The comparison of the specifications demonstrates the functional equivalence of the products. ManaMed Inc. concludes that the PlasmaFlow is substantially equivalent and performs in a manner that is substantially equivalent to predicated devices.
Non-Clinical Testing:
Non-clinical validation, including electrical safety, EMC, Usability, Risk Analysis, mechanical integrity, environmental and life cycle testing have shown that the PlasmaFlow has performance characteristics substantially equivalent to or surpassing those of the listed predicate devices. Inhouse bench testing has verified equivalent pressure delivery, cuff (bladder) fill time, cycle time and overall system performance as the predicate devices listed. The results from these nonclinical tests demonstrated that the proposed PlasmaFlow meets design, safety and performance requirements; and does not raise any new concerns of safety and effectiveness.
