Intended Use

Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) combines cold, heat, contrast, and compression therapy. Therm-X is intended to treat post-surgical and acute injuries to reduce edema, swelling, and pain for which cold and compression are indicated. It is intended to treat post-surgical medical and/or surgical conditions for which localized thermal therapy (hot or cold) are indicated.

Therm-X Home systems also provide DVT therapy. Therm-X Home systems with DVT therapy are intended to reduce the risk of the formation of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) by aiding blood flow back to the heart via lower extremity limb compression.

Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) is intended to be used by, or on the order of, licensed health care professionals in rehabilitation facilities, outpatient clinics, athletic training settings.

Device Description

Therm-X is an AC powered, software-controlled multimodality device, designed to be used in a clinical or home-use setting, and under the direction, prescription, or supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. The device is available in two configurations: Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT.

Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) features iceless cold therapy, heat therapy, and contrast (alternating heat and cold) therapy. The Therm-X Home system also provides DVT prophylaxis therapy and continuous therapy for users who wish to receive treatment over an extended period of time.

Therm-X consists of various reusable inflatable wraps for thermal treatment of the back, elbow, shoulder, ankle, hip, or knee and DVT prophylactic treatment applied to the foot or calf. Multipatient use garments are available for all anatomical areas that can be cleaned and disinfected in between uses to be reused for different patients. Single-patient use garments are available for thermal treatment of the shoulder, ankle, hip, and knee and can be disposed of after patient treatment is concluded. The thermal garments are flexible coolant circulating garments that apply to the body to deliver cold, heat, or contrast therapy in combination with pneumatic compression. The Foot and calf DVT prophylactic garments apply pneumatic compression alone and are intended for use by the Therm-X Home system only.

Therm-X is controlled by an intuitive touch screen computer interface, allowing the user to manage the therapy modalities as well as easily adjust and monitor treatment times, temperature, and compression settings.

Therm-X is approximately 15 lbs. when filled with coolant and has a handle placed on the top of the device. It has a centralized coolant reservoir accessible through a cap located at the back of the device that supplies its coolant and radiator systems. The reservoir, pumps, fans, circuit board, and other components of the Therm-X are located inside a covered enclosure made out of plastic and metal components, accessible only using a specialized tool.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text to extract information related to acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, presented in the requested format.

It's important to note that the provided text is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving a device's performance against specific, quantitative clinical acceptance criteria. Therefore, some of the requested information (like specific target performance metrics for a novel technology or a detailed MRMC study with effect sizes) is not present because this type of submission is not designed to provide that. The "acceptance criteria" here are primarily about meeting safety and performance standards equivalent to existing devices and fulfilling regulatory requirements.


Device Name: Therm-X


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given that this is a 510(k) submission for substantial equivalence, the "acceptance criteria" are primarily defined by the performance characteristics of the predicate devices and general safety/performance standards for medical devices. The performance data presented isn't against pre-defined numerical thresholds for novel claims, but rather to show the new device operates similarly to cleared predicates.

Acceptance Criterion (Implicit/Explicit)Reported Device Performance (Therm-X)
Safety and Effectiveness Equivalence to PredicatesDemonstrated through comparison tables (pages 6-18) and various testing (EMC/Electrical, Biocompatibility, Software, Bench, Clinical, Human Factors). Concluded to be "as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices."
Warmest Skin Temperature (Heat Therapy)Custom range: 105°F – 110°F. Continuous custom range: 105°F – 107°F.
Coolest Skin Temperature (Cold Therapy)Minimum measured skin temperature: 40°F. Custom range: 34°F - 55°F. Continuous custom range: 40°F - 50°F.
Compression Pressure Levels (Edema)Lite (5 mm Hg), Low (20 mm Hg), Medium (45 mm Hg), High (70 mm Hg). Continuous: Low (20 mm Hg), Medium (45 mm Hg), High (70 mm Hg).
DVT Compression Pressure Levels (Calf)50 - 70 mmHg
DVT Compression Pressure Levels (Foot)90 - 130 mmHg (subject device) vs. 100-130mmHg (predicate). This is presented as equivalent in the comparison table despite the slight difference at the lower end, implying acceptance of this range.
Compliance with Electrical Safety StandardsVerified per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.
Biocompatibility of Patient-Contacting MaterialsVerified per ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), and ISO 10993-10 (irritation and skin sensitization).
Software ValidationConfirmed to meet performance requirements and specifications, classified as Moderate Level of Concern per FDA guidance.
Cleaning & Disinfection Efficacy (Multi-patient wraps)Instructions validated for multi-patient use garments.
Usability for Intended Users and EnvironmentsHuman Factors/Usability assessments performed in simulated use environment; found "adequately safe and effective" and users can operate "as safely and as effectively as the predicate devices."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

  • Sample Size:
    • Clinical Testing (Skin Temperature): Not explicitly stated how many healthy volunteer human subjects were included, only "healthy volunteer human subjects who provided informed consent."
    • Biocompatibility, EMC/Electrical, Software, Bench, Cleaning/Disinfection, Human Factors: These involve device-specific testing or material testing, not human subject sample sizes in the clinical sense.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Clinical Testing: Stated as "healthy volunteer human subjects who provided informed consent." No country of origin is specified.
    • Retrospective/Prospective: The clinical testing for skin temperature measurement appears to be prospective ("IRB approved studies have been performed to measure the lowest skin temperature... Therm-X was tested for worst case conditions on healthy volunteer human subjects"). Other testing (bench, software, etc.) are standard verification and validation activities.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Clinical Testing (Skin Temperature): The "ground truth" here is the measured skin temperature. This is a direct physical measurement from the device's application. Experts would be involved in designing and overseeing the study, but the "ground truth" itself is objective physical data rather than expert consensus on, say, an image interpretation. No specific number or qualifications of experts establishing ground truth are mentioned beyond the implication of an "IRB approved study."
  • Other Testing (Bench, Software, etc.): Ground truth for these studies is typically defined by engineering specifications, regulatory standards, and established test protocols. The "experts" would be the engineers and quality assurance personnel conducting and reviewing the tests, but not in the sense of independent clinical experts adjudicating medical findings.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Clinical Testing (Skin Temperature): Not applicable. The "ground truth" is a direct measurement of skin temperature. This is not an interpretive task requiring an adjudication process.
  • Other Testing: Not applicable. These are engineering and performance compliance tests.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done.
    • This type of study is typically used for diagnostic devices (e.g., AI for image interpretation) to compare the performance of human readers with and without AI assistance.
    • The Therm-X is a therapeutic device (powered inflatable tube massager). The clinical testing focused on physical performance metrics (skin temperature) and safety, not on human interpretive tasks.
  • Effect size of how human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable, as no MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • No, not directly applicable in the typical sense for AI/diagnostic algorithms.
    • The Therm-X does contain software, and "Software Validation" was performed, which is akin to testing the "algorithm" or software functionality in isolation from human interaction, to ensure it meets its specifications. This is a component of the device's overall performance.
    • However, the term "standalone" performance usually refers to an AI's diagnostic accuracy without human input for tasks like image classification. As this is not an AI diagnostic device, this concept doesn't directly apply in that context. The device's primary function is physical therapy, controlled by software.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Clinical Testing (Skin Temperature): Objective physical measurements (measured skin temperature).
  • Biocompatibility: Laboratory test results against recognized standards (ISO 10993).
  • Electrical Safety & EMC: Laboratory test results against recognized standards (IEC 60601 series).
  • Software Validation: Conformance to pre-defined software requirements and specifications, and compliance with FDA guidance documents.
  • Bench Performance: Conformance to engineering specifications for proper system operation and safety limits.
  • Human Factors/Usability: Data from simulated use environments to assess safe and effective operation by intended users, typically observed directly or through surveys/interviews.
  • Cleaning, Disinfection & Shelf Life: Laboratory validation of cleaning protocols and durability testing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. The Therm-X is presented as a physical therapy device with software control, not a machine learning/AI device that undergoes a "training" phase on a dataset of patient information (e.g., images for diagnostic AI). The software validation process ensures its functionality, but it's not "trained" on a dataset in the AI sense.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/machine learning model for this device.

  • . ISO 10993-10: 2010 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Skin Sensitization

Verification results indicated that the materials comply with the standard.

Cleaning, Disinfection & Shelf Life Testing

Therm-X garments are intended for use over intact skin or sterile dressings only. They are provided non-sterile and not intended to be user sterilized. Cleaning and disinfection instructions are provided for multi-patient use garments within each garment IFU. Such cleaning and disinfection instructions have been validated.

The Therm-X System components and garments do not have a definitive shelf life based on packaging or time. Expected life is based on frequency of use and continued functional performance. Durability accelerated aging test has been performed and has confirmed the safe use and disinfection of a Therm-X garment for the duration of the garment's life without evidence of deterioration of the garment due to cleaning and/or disinfection.

{23}------------------------------------------------

Software Validation:

Software Validation has been completed according to an established Validation procedure and FDA Guidance documents and Industry Standards:

  • General Principles of Software Validation; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, ● January 11, 2002
  • Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices, May 11, 2005

The Software is a Moderate Level of Concern as per FDA quidance. All required items related to software as required by FDA guidance have been included in this submission.

Performance – Bench:

Therm-X has been tested for performance to verify the proper operation of the system. Test and verification results indicate that Therm-X conforms to its predetermined specifications and operates within safety limits.

Clinical Testing:

IRB approved studies have been performed to measure the lowest skin temperature the Therm-X device can generate. As required by the FDA guidance for heating and cooling devices, Therm-X was tested for worst case conditions on healthy volunteer human subjects who provided informed consent. A minimum skin temperature of 40°F was measured and has been included in the product labeling.

Based on these results, it has been concluded that the temperature limits of Therm-X do not cause any thermal damage to the skin. The studies demonstrated that there are no safety issues created by the device and that Therm-X is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.

Human Factors / Usability:

Human Factors / Usability assessments have been performed in a simulated use environment to optimize the device design and support the safe use of Therm-X. Therm-X has been found to be adequately safe and effective for the intended users, its intended uses and use environments. The results demonstrated that users can operate Therm-X as safely and as effectively as the predicate devices.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusions

In conclusion, the intended use for Therm-X is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices. The technological characteristics comparison demonstrates that Therm-X is equivalent to the predicate devices, and the testing shows that Therm-X is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and assures that Therm-X is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.

Conclusion

The 510(k) Pre-market Notification for Therm-X contains adequate information and data to determine that Therm-X is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices.
