Intended Use
VenaOne is an easy to use system prescribed by healthcare professionals for stimulating blood flow in the legs (simulating muscle contractions) that aids in the prevention of DVT, enhances blood circulation, diminishes post-operative pain and swelling, reduces wound healing time, and aids 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.
Device Description
The VenaOne is a lightweight, portable battery powered prescriptive device. It is intended for stimulating blood flow in the legs (simulating muscle contractions) that helps stimulate blood flow as an aid in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Its portable design allows patients to wear the unit during many clinical related activities, such as physical therapy sessions, wheel chair transportation, cafeteria sittings, and during general mobility throughout the clinic. As an easy to use system. VenaOne utilizes the pneumatically controlled chamber cuff actuated by an electronically controlled air pump unit and solenoid valve. All the pump and control components are protectively housed in a plastic case of the control unit that is permanently attached to an inflatable air bladder. An ON/OFF button, a display, and a battery icon provide for user interface. There is also a charging port for connecting the battery charger/AC adapter plug, and a USB cable port for connecting the VenaOne device to the computer for tracking patient device use time. The detachable rechargeable battery could be mounted on the control unit or on the separate charging station for charging. Prior to use, the cut-resistant air bladder and control unit are placed inside a disposable medical fabric or equivalent medical material. The VenaOne devices are supplied clean and non-sterile. In operation, the device could be powered on via the single ON/OFF button. The control unit then fills the air bladder to a pre-determined pressure (55 mmHg). The pressure of the air bladder is monitored by an internal pressure switch and system software. Once the pressure reaches the proper level, the pump is turned off, and the air bladder deflates to the ambient pressure through a valve inside the plastic case of the control unit. After the "rest" period of approximately 50 seconds, the cycle repeats until the unit is turned off.
More Information

No
The description details a simple pneumatic compression device with a fixed cycle and pressure, controlled by basic software and hardware components. There is no mention of adaptive learning, pattern recognition, or any other characteristics typically associated with AI/ML.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that VenaOne is prescribed for "stimulating blood flow... that aids in the prevention of DVT, enhances blood circulation, diminishes post-operative pain and swelling, reduces wound healing time, and aids 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." These are all therapeutic applications.

No

The device is described as stimulating blood flow and aiding in the prevention and treatment of various conditions, not diagnosing them. Its function involves physical intervention (simulating muscle contractions) rather than detection or analysis of disease states.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a battery, air pump, solenoid valve, plastic case, inflatable air bladder, ON/OFF button, display, battery icon, charging port, and USB cable port. While it mentions system software, it is integral to the operation of these physical components.

Based on the provided information, the VenaOne device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • VenaOne's Function: The VenaOne device is a mechanical system that applies pneumatic pressure to the legs to stimulate blood flow. It works externally on the body and does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a physical intervention (stimulating blood flow) for therapeutic and preventative purposes related to circulatory issues.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical and electronic system with an inflatable bladder, pump, and controls, not a system for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the VenaOne falls under the category of a therapeutic or preventative medical device that acts on the body, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device that analyzes samples from the body.

7. Substantial Equivalence

As shown in the above table of comparison, the subject device in this submission has the identical performance and parameter to the predicate device. The updated and optimized circuit board in the subject device does not change any product performance. And the differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.

The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed in function and operating principals to achieve identical results. The predicate device utilizes microprocessor controlled pumps to deliver pressurized air to bladders that are attached to the patient's lower limbs, using a cycle time of

8

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.

Identical to the predicate device, the subject device has multiple and visual safety alarms built into the system, including low pressure alarms, low battery alarm and system malfunction overpressure safety alarm. In addition, the cuff is comprised of a single air bladder encased in a covering of soft, nonlatex, non-woven medical fabric or equivalent medical for increased patient comfort and biocompatibility compliance. 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.

The subject device is designed for the same intended use as the predicated device. The comparison of the specifications demonstrates the functional equivalence of the products, concluding that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

8. Non-Clinical Tests Performed

Non-clinical tests were performed on the subject device in order to validate the design and to assure conformance with the following voluntary design standards in connection with medical device electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.

  • (a) ANSI AAMI ES60601-1 "Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance (IEC 60601-1)".
  • (b) IEC 60601-1-2 "Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests".

In addition to the compliance of voluntary standards, bench tests have been performed on the physical requirements, electrical requirement, and performance requirement; the verification of software used in the subject device has been carried out according to the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.

9. Conclusion

The tests and comparison performed demonstrate the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Therefore, the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device that has been legally marketed in the United States.
