Dear Ariel Wang:

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/cdrh/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.

# NOTE 1:

The subject device has a rated power consumption of 90 VA, compared with 30 W for the predicate device. This difference reflects the electrical design of the control unit and power supply and does not increase the maximum pneumatic pressure delivered to the user, which remains 200 mmHg. The subject device uses the same basic technology of an electronically controlled compressor and valves. Electrical safety, thermal, pressure-accuracy, and overpressure/fault testing demonstrated acceptable performance. Therefore, the differences in rated power consumption and device dimensions do not adversely affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device.

# NOTE 2:

The subject device uses five chambers in each leg sleeve, whereas the predicate-device family includes four-, six-, and eight-chamber

- 10 -

{14}

configurations. All configurations use the same basic technological principle of electronically controlled sequential pneumatic compression, and the subject device has the same maximum pressure of 200 mmHg as the predicate device.

The final five-chamber subject-device configuration was used for the applicable pressure-accuracy, inflation and deflation, fatigue, seam-strength, biocompatibility, fault-mode, and overpressure-protection evaluations. The subject device is limited to leg sleeves and therefore has a narrower garment and treatment-area scope than the predicate device. The nylon and TPU materials used in the subject-device sleeves are comparable to the TPU/nylon composite materials used in the predicate device and have been evaluated in accordance with the applicable ISO 10993 standards.

Therefore, the differences in chamber count, garment configurations, dimensions, and materials do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.

- 11 -

{15}

# **Note 3:**

The subject device provides six treatment modes. Modes 1 through 5 use different selections, groupings, and distal-to-proximal inflation sequences of the same five chambers, while Mode 6 combines Modes 1 through 5. These modes do not change the type of energy delivered, the intended use, the anatomical treatment area, or the maximum pressure of 200 mmHg.

In every mode, the pressure remains within the selectable range of 60 to 200 mmHg, treatment duration is limited to 15, 30, or 45 minutes, and the user can pause or stop treatment at any time. Performance testing evaluated all modes and confirmed acceptable pressure accuracy, timer accuracy, inflation and deflation function, hose function, and fault and overpressure protection.

Accordingly, the differences in treatment modes and cycle characteristics do not adversely affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device.

# **G. Performance characteristics**

The Air Pressure Therapy System has been tested and met the requirements of the following standards:

- IEC 60601-1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance

- The device also passed:
- i. pressure accuracy and time accuracy testing
- ii. seam strength testing to ensure cuffs do not burst if maximum pressure is exceeded
- iii. failure mode verification and validation testing to ensure mitigation of overpressurization risk if there is a software failure.

### H. Conclusion

Based on the above data, we can conclude that the proposed device is as safe, as effective as the predicate device. Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device which cleared under K230500.
