The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on standard negative pressure wound therapy technology with software control for pressure settings and monitoring.
Yes.
The device is specifically designed for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), creating an environment that promotes wound healing by preparing the wound bed, reducing edema, promoting granulation, and removing exudate and infectious material. These functions directly address therapeutic outcomes for wounds.
No
This device is a therapeutic device that promotes wound healing through negative pressure wound therapy. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like analyzing, detecting, or monitoring medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "four-channel therapy unit" and includes "disposable exudate canisters and dressings," which are physical hardware components. The software controls the therapy unit, but the device itself is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a system for managing and promoting the healing of open wounds and closed surgical incisions by applying negative pressure. This is a therapeutic intervention applied directly to the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device description details a therapy unit, canisters, and dressings used to apply negative pressure and collect exudate. This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. The purpose is to treat the wound, not diagnose it.
- No Mention of In Vitro Testing: The description focuses on the application of negative pressure to the wound in vivo (on the living body), not on testing samples in vitro (in a lab setting).
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not perform any such function.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The V.A.C. Rx4 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System is an integrated wound management system for use in acute care settings and other professional healthcare environments where product use is conducted by or under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
When used on open wounds, it is intended to create an environment that promotes wound healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exudate and infectious material. Open wound types include: chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, pressure or venous insufficiency), flaps and grafts.
The V.A.C. GranuFoam Silver™ Dressing is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration and may help reduce infection in the above wound types.
When used on closed surgical incisions, it is also intended to manage the environment of surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure by maintaining a closed environment and removing exudates via the application of negative pressure wound therapy.

Device Description
The V.A.C.Rx4™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System, model number 60600, is a therapy unit capable of providing Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for up to four wounds simultaneously with individual wound channel controls and feedback. The device is intended to be used only in acute care. The V.A.C.Rx4™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System consists of a four-channel therapy unit, disposable exudate canisters and dressings. The V.A.C.Rx4™ NPWT System utilizes the same KCI dressing systems and canisters that have been cleared for use with the predicate device system. The software-controlled therapy unit applies a selectable range of negative pressure wound therapy to the wound bed or incision site. It can provide continuous or intermittent application of negative pressure wound therapy to the wound in the selectable range of 50mmHg to 200mmHg (in increments of 25mmHg). The dressing, to which the therapy unit is connected, enables distribution of the negative pressure wound therapy across the surface of the wound or incision, while the tubing transfers accumulated fluids such as wound exudates and infectious material to a disposable canister. The device can operate either by a mains power supply or internal battery.

Summative usability evaluation of the final user interface design was performed using 15 subjects from three users groups (Surgeon/Physician, Surgical Scrub/Theatre Nurse, and Acute Care Nurse). Subjects performed approximately 50 usability tasks in a simulated use environment.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Study Type: Non-clinical bench testing and simulated-use usability testing.
Sample Size: 15 subjects for usability testing.
Key Results (Non-clinical bench testing): Bench testing demonstrated that the V.A.C.Rx4™ is substantially equivalent to the InfoV.A.C. Therapy Unit in the delivery of negative pressure wound therapy at 50, 125, and 200 mmHq under an air leak rate of 1.4 Ipm in both continuous and intermittent modes and under both wet and dry conditions. Additionally, the ability of the V.A.C. Rx4™ Therapy Unit to provide NPWT within specification to each of the dressing configurations was confirmed for each channel. The ability of the therapy unit to control of negative pressure wound therapy, manage fluid and not generate false or unexpected alerts or alarms during normal operation was confirmed.
Key Results (Simulated-use usability testing): The results of summative testing and a residual risk analysis demonstrate that intended users of the V.A.C. Rx4 Therapy System can safely and effectively perform critical tasks for the intended use in the expected use environment and that no use errors that may lead to unacceptable risk of harm are likely to occur. Risk levels [occurrence/severity] have been reduced as far as possible and any additional modifications would not further reduce risk.

types. |
| | When used on closed surgical incisions, it is also intended to manage
the environment of surgical incisions that continue to drain following
sutured or stapled closure by maintaining a closed environment and
removing exudates via the application of negative pressure wound
therapy. |
| Comparison of the Technological Characteristics (i.e., design, material, chemical
composition, energy source) with the Predicate Device [21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)] | |
| Negative Pressure Wound Therapy is the technological principal for both the subject and the
predicate device. The software-controlled therapy unit applies a selectable range of negative
pressure wound therapy and modes. The dressing, to which the therapy unit is connected,
enables distribution of the negative pressure wound therapy across the surface of the wound or
incision, while the tubing transfers accumulated fluids such as wound exudates and infectious
material to a disposable canister. | |
| At a high level, the subject device and predicate device are based on the following same
technological elements: | |
| • The Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System includes a negative pressure wound
therapy unit, canisters and dressings that are applied to an open wound or over an
incision site. One of the following dressings may be selected by the clinician: | |
- V.A.C.® Dressings (V.A.C ® GranuFoam, V.A.C.® GranuFoam Silver, V.A.C.® O WhiteFoam™)
- Prevena™ Peel & Place™ or Customizable™ Dressing o

V.A.C.Rx4™ Neqative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System
- Fluid is collected into a disposable canister. One of the following canisters may be . selected by the clinician:
- InfoV.A.C.® 500 ml Canister o
- InfoV.A.C.® 1000 ml Canister o
- e The negative pressure wound therapy unit can provide continuous or intermittent application of negative pressure wound therapy in the selectable range of 50 - 200 mmHg (in increments of 25mmHg)
- . The therapy unit provides alarms that indicate when negative pressure wound therapy may be compromised (e.g., visual and audible alarms indicating an air leak in the system, when the canister is full, canister not engaged, blockage, therapy inactive, pressure deviations, system errors, internal temperature or low battery).
- . The device can operate either by a mains power supply or internal battery.
The following differences exist between the subject and predicate device:
- V.A.C.Rx4™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System has four independent . channels whereas the predicate provides one therapy channel. Each therapy channel consists of its individual canister and an interface with associated controls to provide NPWT for that channel.
- . The V.A.C.Rx4™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System contains additional alarms to monitor unit position and battery temperature.
- The software for the V.A.C.Rx4™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System . does not contain optional help functions, patient versus clinician access, therapy setting guides, log tools, on screen therapy history information, or wound image / measurement features.
- The V.A.C.Rx4™ Neqative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System is not intended to . be used in the home care setting whereas the predicate is indicated for acute, extended and home care settings.
Performance Data [21 CFR 807.92(b)]
Summary of non-clinical tests conducted for determination of substantial equivalence [21 CFR 807.92(b)(1)]
- Bench testing demonstrated that the V.A.C.Rx4™ is substantially equivalent to the . InfoV.A.C. Therapy Unit in the delivery of negative pressure wound therapy at 50, 125, and 200 mmHq under an air leak rate of 1.4 Ipm in both continuous and intermittent modes and under both wet and dry conditions.
- Additionally, the ability of the V.A.C. Rx4™ Therapy Unit to provide NPWT within ● specification to each of the dressing configurations was confirmed for each channel. The ability of the therapy unit to control of negative pressure wound therapy, manage fluid and not generate false or unexpected alerts or alarms during normal operation was confirmed.

Summary of clinical tests conducted for determination of substantial equivalence or of clinical information [21 CFR 807.92(b)(2)1
No clinical tests were necessary.
However, the user interface was evaluated via simulated-use testing with users' representative of the use specification. Multiple formative evaluations led to the selection of an optimal user interface design in terms of use-safety and effectiveness.
Summative usability evaluation of the final user interface design was performed using 15 subjects from three users groups (Surgeon/Physician, Surgical Scrub/Theatre Nurse, and Acute Care Nurse). Subjects performed approximately 50 usability tasks in a simulated use environment.
The results of summative testing and a residual risk analysis demonstrate that intended users of the V.A.C. Rx4 Therapy System can safely and effectively perform critical tasks for the intended use in the expected use environment and that no use errors that may lead to unacceptable risk of harm are likely to occur. Risk levels [occurrence/severity] have been reduced as far as possible and any additional modifications would not further reduce risk.
Conclusions drawn [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
The V.A.C.Rx4TM Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System and its predicate InfoV.A.C. Therapy System (K063740 & K120033) are substantially equivalent in terms of safety, function and indications for use.
