The description focuses on the mechanical action of EAP straps and a microprocessor for sequential compression, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is intended to treat several medical conditions and aid in the prevention of DVT, indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
The provided text describes the ElastiMed's SACS device as one that provides compression to stimulate blood flow and aid in the prevention or treatment of various conditions (e.g., DVT, edema, ulcers). It is a therapeutic device that performs physical actions, not a device that gathers or interprets data to identify or determine a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "rechargeable battery powered device" and includes physical components like "Electro Active Polymer (EAP) straps," a "rechargeable battery," a "microprocessor," a "control box," a "buzzer," an "LED light indicator," a "micro speaker," and a "micro-USB port." These are hardware components, not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the ElastiMed SACS device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- SACS Device Function: The SACS device is a compression device that applies external pressure to the lower limbs. It works by physically stimulating blood flow through sequential compression.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description of the SACS device and its intended use does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens from the patient. It directly interacts with the body externally.
Therefore, the ElastiMed SACS device falls under the category of a therapeutic or physical medicine device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The ElastiMed SACS is a lightweight, portable, rechargeable battery powered device, aiding in the stimulation of blood flow in the lower limb through sequential compression.
The SACS device imbeds three Electro Active Polymer (EAP) straps, that sequentially stretch and contract when stimulated by an electric charge. The timely sequential upward contractions of the straps compress the limb, allowing for the repetitive squeezing and relieving actions that mimic normal muscle contractions. The device is supplied with a rechargeable battery which is incased in the fabric casing, and a microprocessor which is imbedded within the control box, located at the front of the unit. The one touch operation control box also imbeds a buzzer, LED light indicator, micro speaker, and a micro-USB port (for charging). The device can be used in the home or clinical setting.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ElastiMed's SACS device is a portable and lightweight device intended to provide compression in both sustained and intermittent settings by stimulating blood flow in the legs. The SACS device is intended for:
- -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, chronic lymphedema, and reduction of edema in the lower limbs.
- As a prophylaxis for DVT by persons expecting to be stationary for long periods of time. -Reduction of edema associated with soft tissue injuries, such as burns, postoperative or postimmobilization edema or ligament sprains.
The device can be used in the home or clinical setting.
Summary of Technological Characteristics
The SACS device is equivalent to the listed predicate devices in that all devices use a microprocessor to provide intermittent compression to simulate muscle contractions in the lower limbs aiding the return of venous flow.
Like the predicate devices, the SACS device is light-weight, portable, and wraps around the lower limb. Similar to the predicate device, the SACS may be used on one or both legs. When used on both legs, the wraps operate separately.
The predicates and subject devices all have the same intended use and similar indications for use and contraindications. Although the subject device uses a different technology to enable compression (electrical stimulation allowing strap relaxation thus pressure relief; rather than using nitinol phase transition / air delivery through tubing which is used in the predicate devices), the subject device has similar performance characteristics to the predicates in terms of cycle time and applied / on-body pressure. Both the subject device and the predicate devices have three discrete compression zones with similar on-body pressure and cycle times (2-3 seconds of compression, with approximately 24 seconds of rest period before the cycle repeats, i.e., 2 cycles per minute), providing sequential compression, which cannot be changed. In all devices, compression is controlled by a microprocessorcontrolled system having 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.
All systems are prescription only, provided non-sterile, and are intended for single patient use. The SACS, like the predicate device is supplied with a rechargeable battery, which can be charged when not in use.

Performance Data
Nonclinical validation including electrical safety, EMC, software validation, environmental / shipping, life cycle (durability and shelf-life), and performance testing, verified performance attributes, pressure delivery, geometrical attributes and system durability have shown that the SACS device has performance characteristics consistent with the predefined requirements for the devices' intended and indications for use.
Conclusions
The ElastiMed SACS device has the same intended use, similar indications for use and performance characteristics as the predicate devices. The results of non-clinical testing demonstrates that the device met all performance requirements. Therefore, the substantially equivalent to the predicate devices
