No
The device description focuses on mechanical peristaltic pumps with fixed cycle rates, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the text, including the dedicated "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section.
Yes
The device is intended to treat various medical conditions such as post thrombolytic syndrome, DVT, lymphedema, and chronic venous insufficiency, which categorizes it as a therapeutic device.
No
The device description indicates it is a "peristaltic pump" that induces "improved vascular and lymphatic flow" and is intended to "treat" various conditions by "compressing the calf" and increasing "volumetric displacement of venous and lymph fluid." This describes a therapeutic, not a diagnostic, function.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a series of "compact, battery-operated peristaltic pumps" that generate "wave-form motion," indicating it is a hardware device with mechanical components, not software only.
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 diagnose, monitor, or screen for health issues.
- Device Function: The Venowave VW5 series of devices are described as "compact, battery-operated peristaltic pumps that generate a wave-form motion" to induce improved vascular and lymphatic flow. This is a physical mechanism applied externally to the body.
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to treating or managing conditions through physical means (improving circulation, reducing swelling, preventing clots) by applying external pressure. None of the indications involve analyzing biological samples.
The device operates externally on the body and does not involve the analysis of samples taken from the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

Device Description
The Venowave VW5 is a series of compact, battery-operated peristaltic pumps that generate a wave-form motion, and when worn below the knee strapped firmly to the calf, result in compression of the calf and consequently, an increased upward volumetric displacement of venous and lymph fluid. Each of the models within the family (VW5-6;VW5-10; VW5-20; and VW5-30) is distinguished by the maximum number of times the wave plate cycles each minute (6, 10, 20 and 30 cycles/minute respectively). Clinical preference to choose a specific frequency of motion for each specific patient based upon that patient's clinical symptoms, severity of disease, and perceived compliance with treatment has been the motivation for creating each model within the series. Venowave is intended for use on patients who are 18 years of age or older.

Dear Liane Parker:
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 (the 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 available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrb/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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 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 Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 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 Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

IV. Device Description:
The Venowave VW5 is a series of compact, battery-operated peristaltic pumps that generate a wave-form motion, and when worn below the knee strapped firmly to the calf, result in compression of the calf and consequently, an increased upward volumetric displacement of venous and lymph fluid. Each of the models within the family (VW5-6;VW5-10; VW5-20; and VW5-30) is distinguished by the maximum number of times the wave plate cycles each minute (6, 10, 20 and 30 cycles/minute respectively). Clinical preference to choose a specific frequency of motion for each specific patient based upon that patient's clinical symptoms, severity of disease, and perceived compliance with treatment has been the motivation for creating each model within the series. Venowave is intended for use on patients who are 18 years of age or older.
V. Intended Use:
The Venowave VW5 series of devices are prescriptive and induce improved vascular and lymphatic flow of the lower limbs. Venowave is intended for use on patients who are 18 years of age or older. Venowave devices are intended to treat the following:
