Intended Use
The SlendAir 4000 is a prescriptive device that induces controlled compression of the calf, the leg or the arm. The SlendAir 4000 is intended for use by medical professionals and patients at home in treating many conditions, such as: Primary lymphoedema Post mastectomy edema Leg ulcers Edema following trauma and sport injuries Post immobilization edema Venous insufficiencies Lymphoedema
Device Story
Pneumatic compression device; applies peristaltic compression to limbs (calf, foot, leg, arm). Components: pneumatic control unit, inflatable cuffs (1-12 cells), connecting tubes, electrical transformer. User sets pressure (30-90mmHg) and time (15-60 minutes) per physician discretion. Air flows into cuff cells in continuous, predetermined peristaltic waveform. Includes mechanical valve for over-pressure relief. Used by medical professionals or patients at home. Provides therapeutic compression to manage edema and venous conditions; aids in patient recovery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; comparative study performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Pneumatic compression system; 1-12 cell inflatable cuffs. Pressure range 30-90mmHg. Mechanical over-pressure relief valve. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, EN-1441, and Mil-Std-810E. Electrical power source.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring controlled limb compression for primary lymphoedema, post-mastectomy edema, leg ulcers, edema following trauma/sports injuries, post-immobilization edema, and venous insufficiencies. Contraindicated for acute pulmonary edema, acute thrombophlebitis, acute congestive cardiac failure, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and acute infections.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A powered inflatable tube massager is a powered device intended for medical purposes, such as to relieve minor muscle aches and pains and to increase circulation. It simulates kneading and stroking of tissues with the hands by use of an inflatable pressure cuff.

#### Device Description:
The SlendAir 4000 is a prescriptive, pneumatic compression device designed to apply peristaltic compression to a limb. The device is composed of four components:
- Light and portable pneumatic control unit .
- . Calf, foot, full leg, or full arm cuff composes of 1-12 cells.
- . Pneumatic connecting tubes.
- Electrical transformer ●
The SlendAir enables different treatment pressures (30-90mmHg) and treatment times (15-60 minutes) that should be used according to physician discretion. When activated, air flows into the cuff cells in a continues, predetermined peristaltic waveform. A mechanical valve has been included in the air system for releasing air in case of over pressure in one of the compartments.
# Substantial Equivalence:
Based on a series of safety and performance testing including a comparative. study, Medical Compression Systems (DBN) Ltd. believes that the SlendAir 4000 is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices cited above without raising new safety and/or effectiveness issues.

Dear Ms. Friedman:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
