Intended Use
The Cowboy XV is designed to enhance blood circulation in the venules and arterioles in the lower extremities. The Cowboy XV Is designed to only patients with diabetic ulcers of the lower extremities. Cowboy XV is intended for patient's in the home who would benefit from increased blood flow to: - treat and assist healing of cutaneous ulceration (wounds). - reduce wound healing time. - enhance arterial circulation (blood flow). - prevent venous stasis (slowing of blood flow). - reduce compartmental pressures. - reduce edema (swelling). - reduce post-operative pain and swelling. - reduce the need for anticoagulant medications (medications that thin the blood). - prevent Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) (blood clots in deep veins).
Device Description
The Cowboy XV pump is connected through tubing to a foot wrap(s). When inflated, these wraps mimic the normal physiological actions of walking, thus helping to open up and improve blood flow and circulation in the venules and arterioles in the lower extremities. This improved blood flow means a greater chance of prolonging the time before or preventing amputation as their wounds heal. Cowboy XV functions as an intermittent pneumatic compression device that enhances lower extremity blood circulation. Cowboy XV is not a life-supporting or life-sustaining device. Cowboy XV is not an implant (short-term or long-term), nor is it a sterile device. Cowboy XV is an electrically-operated (designed to meet UL 1431), software-driven, prescription device, which is used in the home environment. Cowboy XV is comprised of two major components – the reusable pump unit and a single-patient use inflatable foot wrap. Neither component contains a drug nor biological product as a subcomponent. Cowboy XV uses a 16 foot hospital grade power cord to supply a voltage of 115 volts AC at a frequency of 60 Hz with a maximum current consumption of 0.33 amperes and a maximum electrical leakage of less than 100 microamperes from its power source. An exterior shell made of Prism CM-200 material, measuring 12" long by 10 % " wide by 7" high, houses the 11 pound unit. The compressor inflates one or more of the wraps in minimum intervals of 20 seconds at a pressure of not less than 15 mmHg and not more than 180 mmHg (± 15 mmHg). The unit features a microprocessor that controls the unit's operation. The frequency and intensity of the compressions, as well as the duration of the compressions, are all preset values which are monitored and controlled by the microprocessor. The microprocessor also has detection capabilities to monitor the pressure in the wrap(s), adjusting the in and out flow of air as needed. If for any reason the target pressure cannot be maintained, the microprocessor alarm capabilities will activate both visual and audio alarms. These alarm capabilities are built into the unit to alert the user of any unit malfunction situations, should they ever occur. The non-sterile inflatable foot wraps are for single-patient use only. Each wrap is designed to fit around and compress the veins of the foot. The foot wrap is wrapped around the foot. Hook and loop fasteners are used to hold the foot wrap comfortably around the foot. This air bladder is RF-welded to create an air-tight seal, which can then be inflated by Cowboy XV. This air bladder is designed to create a pressure against the body.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description mentions a microprocessor controlling preset values and monitoring pressure, but there is no indication of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition characteristic of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is also explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is designed to treat and assist in the healing of various medical conditions, such as cutaneous ulceration, and to reduce symptoms like edema and pain, which are characteristics of a therapeutic device.

No.

The Cowboy XV is described as a treatment device that enhances blood circulation through intermittent pneumatic compression. Its purpose is to assist in the healing of wounds, prevent complications like DVT, and reduce pain and swelling, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of a reusable pump unit and a single-patient use inflatable foot wrap, in addition to being software-driven. This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Cowboy XV Function: The Cowboy XV is a physical device that applies external pressure to the lower extremities to enhance blood circulation. It does not analyze any biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a physical intervention to improve blood flow and assist wound healing, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Device Description: The description details a pump, tubing, and foot wraps that apply pressure. There is no mention of collecting or analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, the Cowboy XV falls under the category of a therapeutic or physical medicine device, not an IVD.
