No
The device description and performance studies focus on pneumatic control, electronic components, and standard electrical/software safety testing, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms or data-driven decision making.
Yes
The device is described as aiding in the prevention and treatment of various medical conditions, including DVT, post-operative pain and swelling, and chronic venous insufficiency.
No.
The device's intended use and description clearly state it is for prevention and treatment (e.g., aid in prevention of DVT, diminish pain, enhance circulation), not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "lightweight, portable, rechargeable battery powered prescriptive device" that utilizes "pneumatically controlled, single-chamber wraps actuated by an electronically controlled unit of the air pump and solenoid valve via the tubing." This clearly indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the PlasmaWave is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body. The PlasmaWave's description and intended use clearly indicate it is a physical device that applies pneumatic pressure to the lower extremities to stimulate blood flow. It does not analyze blood, tissue, or any other biological sample.
- The intended use focuses on physical therapy and prevention. The listed uses like preventing DVT, enhancing blood circulation, and reducing swelling are all related to physical manipulation and support of the circulatory system, not diagnostic testing.
- The device description details a mechanical system. The description of the air pump, solenoid valve, tubing, and inflatable wraps points to a device that provides external physical therapy.
Therefore, the PlasmaWave falls under the category of a therapeutic or physical medicine device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PlasmaWave is intended to be an easy to use portable system, prescribed by a physician, for use in the home or clinical setting to help prevent the onset of DVT in patients by stimulating blood flow in the extremities (stimulating muscle contractions). This device can be used to:
- Aid in the prevention of DVT;
- Enhance blood circulation:
- Diminish post-operative pain and swelling;
- Reduce wound healing time;
- Aid 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.
The unit can also be used as an aid in the prophylaxis for DVT by persons expecting to be stationary for long periods of time.

7. Substantial Equivalence
As shown in the above table of comparison, the subject device in this submission has the identical or similar performance and parameter to the predicate device. 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 extremities, using a cycle time of approximately 60 seconds. Each cycle consists of inflation of a bladder, followed by a rest period during which the bladder deflates and the lower extremity relaxes without any compression.
Identical to the predicate device, the subject device has multiple and visual alarms built into the system, including low pressure alarms and low battery alarm. In addition, the inflatable wrap (cuff) is comprised of a single air bladder encased in a covering of soft, non-woven medical fabric or equivalent medical material for increased patient comfort and biocompatibility compliance. The microprocessor and pump units are powered by an internal rechargeable battery, and can be connected to the main AC power adapter/charger while in use, allowing uninterrupted prolonged service.
The skin contact components and materials of the subject device are identical to those of the predicate device in formulation, suppliers, processing, and geometry and no other chemicals have been added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, color additives, cleaning agents, mold release agents, etc.). Therefore, there is no issue or concern of biocompatibility.
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 the 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
8
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.
