Intended Use
To aid in the reduction and management of peripheral edema such as lymphedema and ulceration associated with vascular insufficiency.
Device Description
The Sof.Press EPC 51 System is an external pneumatic compression device that consists of a pump, an inflatable three cell sleeve, and connection tubing. Each cell of the sleeve is inflated sequentially with the highest pressure applied distally and with successively lesser pressures applied proximally.
More Information

No
The description details a mechanical pneumatic compression system with sequential inflation, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the provided text.

Yes
The device is intended to aid in the reduction and management of peripheral edema, lymphedema, and ulceration associated with vascular insufficiency, which are conditions that require therapeutic intervention. Its function as an external pneumatic compression device further supports its role in treating these conditions.

No
The device's intended use is to "aid in the reduction and management of peripheral edema," which describes a therapeutic or management function rather than identifying or diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a pump, an inflatable sleeve, and connection tubing, which are all hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "aid in the reduction and management of peripheral edema such as lymphedema and ulceration associated with vascular insufficiency." This describes a therapeutic or physical treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is an "external pneumatic compression device" that applies pressure to the body. This is a physical therapy modality, not a device used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on sample analysis.

Therefore, the Sof.Press EPC 51 System is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
