The STS system is designed to help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), by increasing venous blood flow.
Device Story
STS compression sleeves are three-chamber graduated, sequential compression devices used with the Huntleigh AC600 Flowtron Universal pump. The sleeves are applied to a patient's limb to provide external compression. Unlike predicate devices that use separate tubes for each chamber, the STS system uses a single tube into the lower chamber; gradient inflation of middle and upper chambers is achieved via internal bleed channels and orifices. The device is intended to increase venous blood flow to help prevent DVT. Healthcare providers use the system in clinical settings to manage patient risk. The output is the mechanical compression of the limb, which mimics the effect of the predicate device to provide equivalent clinical treatment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Equivalence was determined through non-clinical inflation performance testing, comparing pressure/time cycle results of the subject device against the predicate device when fitted to subject limbs.
Technological Characteristics
Three-chamber graduated sequential compression sleeve. Materials: PVC laminate sheets, polyester foam patient-contact layer. Inflation principle: Single-tube input to lower chamber with internal bleed channels and orifices for gradient inflation of upper chambers. Connectivity: Connects to Huntleigh AC600 Flowtron Universal pump. Form factor: Knee-length (STS20) and thigh-length (STS30, STS40) sleeves.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) by increasing venous blood flow in patients requiring compression therapy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A compressible limb sleeve is a device that is used to prevent pooling of blood in a limb by inflating periodically a sleeve around the limb.

#### Device Description
The STS range of sleeves, are three chamber graduated, sequential compression sleeves, to be used in conjunction with the Huntleigh AC600 Flowtron Universal pump (K010744)
#### Intended Use
The STS system is designed to help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), by increasing venous blood flow.
## Summary of Technological Characteristics
The STS range of compression sleeves consist of two sheets of PVC laminate materials welded together to form three chambers. The size and shape of these chambers are similar to the predicate device, as is the method of fitting to the patient's limb.
On the predicate device, separate tubes individually inflate the three chambers. On the proposed device, a single tube into the lower chamber inflates the complete sleeve. proposed devices and gradient inflation of the middle and upper chambers is achieved by a series of bleed channels between chambers and bleed orifices to atmosphere.
On the predicate device, the material in contact with the patient's skin is non-woven fibre. The STS has a layer of polyester foam against the patient's skin, identical in composition to other approved Huntleigh sleeves.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The systems have similar fault alarms, i.e. low pressure, blocked/kinked tubes, and system faults.
### Determination of Substantial Equivalence
The determination of Substantial Equivalence is based on non-clinical, inflation performance testing. The sleeves are tested by fitting to a subject's limbs and the pressure/time cycle results compared.
## Equivalence Testing Results
The sleeves are made from similar materials and compress a similar area of the patient's limb. The inflation sequence and pressures in each chamber are similar.
Therefore, we propose that the clinical treatment that the patient receives will be equivalent.

Trade Name: STS Range Models STS20, STS30, and STS40 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.5800 Regulation Name: Sleeve, Limb, Compression Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: JOW Dated: June 27, 2001 Received: June 27, 2001
Dear Ms. Witko:
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. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
