## Indications for Use

The Caremed Supply Inc. Vesoflow SQS and IPCS Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Compression Devices are intended to increase venous blood flow in at risk patients in order to help prevent deep vein thrombosis.

## Device Story

Vesoflow SQS and IPCS are electrically powered, non-invasive mechanical compression systems; designed to increase venous blood flow and prevent DVT. Devices apply intermittent, controlled pressure to calf, thigh, or foot via compression garments. SQS model provides sequential compression; IPCS model provides intermittent compression. Used by patients for whom external compression therapy is indicated. System operation is mechanical; no complex software or AI algorithms described. Healthcare providers use the device to manage DVT risk in clinical or home settings. Benefits include reduced risk of DVT through improved venous circulation.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was tested to meet IEC 60601-1 standards for medical electrical equipment safety. Garments were tested internally to meet specified requirements. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Electrically powered, non-invasive mechanical compression system. Two models: SQS (sequential) and IPCS (intermittent). Applies controlled pressure to calf, thigh, or foot. Complies with IEC 60601-1 safety standards. No software algorithm or connectivity features described.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Huntleigh Healthcare Universal Flowtron ([K010744](/device/K010744.md))
- Tyco/Kendall SCD Express ([K040511](/device/K040511.md))
