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)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
