No
The description mentions monitoring and displaying data, and using accumulated data as a benchmark, but does not describe any adaptive or learning algorithms that would classify it as AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as treating conditions (DVT) by stimulating blood flow. It also aids in DVT prevention and acts as prophylaxis, which are therapeutic interventions.
Yes
Explanation: The device monitors patient orientation and movement and utilizes this data to identify risk factors for hospital-acquired events like DVT and pressure ulcers, which falls under the definition of providing information to aid in diagnosis or assessment of a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components including a MAC Strap, MAC Charging Hub, MAC Controller (housing a rechargeable battery, DC motor, gyroscope sensor, and microprocessor), and utilizes mechanical force for compression. It is a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Movement and Compressions System is a mechanical device that applies compression to the leg to stimulate blood flow. It also monitors patient orientation and movement.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its function is entirely external and mechanical, with data collection related to physical movement and orientation.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent DVT by enhancing blood circulation and to monitor patient activity, not to diagnose or detect a condition through the analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The Movement and Compressions System (The MAC TM System) is a prescriptive, portable, rechargeable-battery powered, intermittent compression device designed to stimulate blood flow in the lower limb. The MAC System consists of the MAC Strap, MAC Charging Hub, and MAC Controller. The MAC Strap is a disposable single patient use strap that is wrapped around the patient's calf muscle. The MAC Controller houses a rechargeable battery, DC motor, gyroscope sensor, and microprocessor that is attached to the strap during use. The battery is removed from the controller for charging in the supplied MAC Charging Hub when not in use.
Compression is applied to the calf, immediately below the knee, by intermittent application of mechanical force by the device strap. When the strap is contracted, compression is applied to the patient's calf muscle. When the strap is retracted, compression force is released from the patient's calf muscle. Since mechanical force is used to provide intermittent compression, the system does not require a powered air supply, so the risk of aerosolization of potential contaminants or germs is mitigated as there is no blowing air. There are no air connections or pneumatic pumps to clean between patients.
The MAC system also monitors and displays patient orientation and movement information. This data is stored in a RFID tag in the MAC Strap. When the MAC Controller is connected to the MAC Strap, and functioning, all DVT prophylaxis compliance data, orientation and movement data is synced between the controller and the strap using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) communication and stored between them.
The strap is available in two sizes: Standard and XL. The system may be used on one or both legs. When used on both legs, the wraps operate separately.
The MAC System also monitors and displays patient orientation and movement information (see DynaSense reference device, K130752). This data is stored in a RFID tag in the MAC Strap. When the MAC Controller is connected to the MAC Strap, and functioning, all DVT prophylaxis compliance data, orientation and movement data is synced between the strap and controller using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) communication and stored between them.

patient use strap that is wrapped around the patient's calf muscle. The MAC Controller houses a rechargeable battery, DC motor, gyroscope sensor, and microprocessor that is attached to the strap during use. The battery is removed from the controller for charging in the supplied MAC Charging Hub when not in use.
Compression is applied to the calf, immediately below the knee, by intermittent application of mechanical force by the device strap. When the strap is contracted, compression is applied to the patient's calf muscle. When the strap is retracted, compression force is released from the patient's calf muscle. Since mechanical force is used to provide intermittent compression, the system does not require a powered air supply, so the risk of aerosolization of potential contaminants or germs is mitigated as there is no blowing air. There are no air connections or pneumatic pumps to clean between patients.
The MAC system also monitors and displays patient orientation and movement information. This data is stored in a RFID tag in the MAC Strap. When the MAC Controller is connected to the MAC Strap, and functioning, all DVT prophylaxis compliance data, orientation and movement data is synced between the controller and the strap using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) communication and stored between them.

The differences between the MAC System and the predicate device does not affect the intended use and does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. The MAC System is equivalent to the listed predicate device in that they both use a microprocessor to provide intermittent compression to simulate muscle contractions in the lower limbs aiding the return of venous flow. Intermittent compression is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate/reference devices. Both devices have a user interface, which in addition to controlling the system, provides battery and system information (including error notification). All compression systems are encased in soft, non-latex fabrics for patient comfort and biocompatibility. All systems are prescription only and provided non-sterile. The MAC System is supplied with a rechargeable battery, which can be charged when not in use, whereas the predicate devices use a rechargeable battery or utilize a power source that must be plugged into a wall outlet. Both devices are lightweight, portable and wrap around the lower limb. Like the reference device, the MAC System can be used on one or both legs. When used on both legs, the wraps operate separately.
In addition to compression, the MAC System also monitors and reports patient orientation and movement. While the primary predicate does not provide this functionality, there are other devices that include similar functionality. Table 2 provides a comparison of the characteristics between the MAC System and the DynaSense System.
