Intended Use

Intended to temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and to temporarily increase circulation to the treated area in people who are in good health.

Device Description

Bio Compression Systems' Sequential Circulators are powered inflatable tube massagers which consist of a segmented pneumatic sleeve ("garment") connected to a pneumatic compression pump ("pump"). The pump cyclically inflates the garment's segments ("chambers") in sequence from the distal end toward the trunk of the body. The sequential inflation of the garment simulates kneading and stroking of tissues with the hands, increasing circulation on the limb worn.

The core components of the pump are the motor, air compressor, disc valves, and micro switch. The air compressor generates air flow into a stationary disc valve. The motor moves a rotating disc valve. The geometry of the disc valve directs air flow and cyclically triggers the micro switch.

The pump is controlled by softkeys and an LED display (models SC-1004-DL, SC-1008-DL, SC-2004-DL, SC-2008-DL) or by a touch screen LCD (models SC-4004-DL, SC-4008-DL).

The device uses the Predicate Device's garments.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for a medical device (Sequential Circulators) and does not contain information about a study with acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the context of diagnostic accuracy, which would include details about sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or comparative effectiveness studies (MRMC or standalone).

This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on technological characteristics and performance data for safety and electrical compatibility, and functional verification, rather than a clinical efficacy or diagnostic accuracy study.

Therefore, many of the requested categories cannot be filled from the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what cannot:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

The document doesn't present acceptance criteria in the format of diagnostic metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) or a study proving those criteria are met. Instead, it lists technical standards and verification testing.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The "test set" here refers to the device itself being tested against technical standards, not a dataset of patient cases.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for diagnostic accuracy is not relevant here.

4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is not an AI/diagnostic imaging device.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-only device.

7. The type of ground truth used: Not applicable in the context of diagnostic accuracy. The "ground truth" for this device's performance relates to compliance with engineering and safety standards, and functional specifications.

8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not a machine learning/AI device requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Dear Marc Somelofski:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

{1}------------------------------------------------

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

The core components of the pump are the motor, air compressor, disc valves, and micro switch. The air compressor generates air flow into a stationary disc valve. The motor moves a rotating disc valve. The geometry of the disc valve directs air flow and cyclically triggers the micro switch.

The pump is controlled by softkeys and an LED display (models SC-1004-DL, SC-1008-DL, SC-2004-DL, SC-2008-DL) or by a touch screen LCD (models SC-4004-DL, SC-4008-DL).
