(98 days)
No
The device description details a purely mechanical and pneumatic system with a fixed pressure and cycle time, with no mention of adaptive behavior, learning, or data processing beyond simple pressure regulation. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".
Yes
Its intended use is preventative to increase venous blood flow in patients at risk of deep vein thrombosis due to associated risk factors, which addresses a health condition.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for preventative use to increase venous blood flow and prevent deep vein thrombosis, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical compression sleeve with an internal air bladder made of PVC and a non-woven foam-felt material. It is a hardware component designed to be used with a separate compression pump.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The Plexus SCD 110 DVT Sleeve is a mechanical device that applies external pressure to the lower leg to increase blood flow. It does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent deep vein thrombosis by physically stimulating blood flow, not by analyzing biological markers.
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that it is a therapeutic device used externally on the patient's body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Plexus SCD110 Sequential Compression Device is a non-sterile sequential compression sleeve intended to be used with commercially-available compression pumps*. The device is used to prevent the onset of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by stimulating blood flow and increasing venous flow velocity. The device consists of a pair of soft pressure garment sleeves with an internal air bladder. Each package of Plexus SCD110 has two compression sleeves – one for the right calf and one for the left calf.
The Plexus SCD110 is a single-bladder sleeve that provides a preset pattern of intermittent pressure to the deep vein in the lower leg. To use the device, the garment sleeve is wrapped around a patient's calf. The compression sleeve is connected to a commercially available DVT compression pump intended to be used with single-chamber air bladder sleeves. The connector of the sleeve is designed such that it will not connect to a pump intended for multi-chamber sleeves. When the compression pump is turned on, air flows from the air pump into the air bladder inside the compression sleeve, providing pneumatic pressure on the calf muscle and veins underneath.
Once the compression pump reaches an air pressure of 40 mmHg), a relief valve is triggered within the DVT pump to let air escape from the sleeve and reduces the pressure within the system. With the relief valve opened, the compression sleeve completely deflates and allows blood to re-enter the deep veins of the patient during this cycle. After a pre-set deflation period (~50-second cycle), the relief valve will close and the air pump will start pumping again to 40 mmHg. This cycle of inflation of the air bladder will continue until the compression pump device is turned off.
The Plexus SCD110 sleeve is made of a soft, lightweight, non-woven foam-felt material with a singlechamber bladder made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The Plexus SCD sleeve is intended to be compatible with single-chamber DVT pump systems only and the connectors will not allow the sleeve to be attached to any other compression systems (i.e. multi-chamber DVT systems, lymphedema compression systems)

- Presence of lymphangiosarcoma
- In situations where increased lymph and blood flow is undesirable
Technical Characteristics
The technological characteristics of the Plexus are substantially equivalent to the sleeves of the predicate and other single-chamber reference devices. The overall design, materials, mode of operation, and performance characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.
Perfomance Data
To validate that the Plexus DVT sleeve meets the intended specifications, a number of non-clinical tests were conducted by a third-party test facility.
Biocompatibility Tests
Standards and Regulations Applied | Results | Equivalence to Predicate Devices* |
---|---|---|
ISO10993-5:2009 In-Vitro Cytotoxicity | Passed | Equivalent |
ISO10993-10:2010 Intracutaneous Reactivity | Passed | Equivalent |

Comparative and Compatibility Performance Tests
Test | Results | Equivalence to Predicate Devices* |
---|---|---|
Sleeve Burst Test | Passed | Equivalent |
Pressure Accuracy Test | Passed | Equivalent |
Pull Force Test | Passed | Equivalent |
The biocompatibility testing and functional testing confirm that the Plexus DVT sleeves perform as intended and are substantially equivalent to the proposed predicate device. No new or additional risks are presented with the Plexus DVT sleeves.
- All testing was completed using the following DVT compressions pumps: Cirona™ 6200 (Devon Medical), Flowtron® Excel (ArjoHuntleigh), VenaFlow® Elite System (DJO Global/Aircast), VasoPress® Compression Therapy Pumps (Zimmer Biomet / Compression Therapy Concepts), and Venodyne Advantage (EcoLab Inc. / Microtek Medical, Inc.)
