## Indications for Use

Patients at Risk for DVT: These include: a. Major orthopedic procedures e.g. knee surgery Major abdominal thoracic surgery including urogenital surgery Neurosurgery, subarachnoid hemorrhage and stroke Bedridden Medical patients b. Patients with chronic venous insufficiency

## Device Story

Pulstar Logix Pump is a compression device designed to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and manage chronic venous insufficiency. It operates by delivering pneumatic compression to a limb sleeve, which promotes venous blood flow. The device is intended for use in clinical settings under the direction of a healthcare provider. By applying sequential or intermittent pressure, the pump reduces venous stasis, thereby lowering the risk of thrombus formation in at-risk patient populations. The healthcare provider sets the operational parameters, and the device functions to provide mechanical prophylaxis against DVT.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and intended use compared to existing legally marketed devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Pneumatic compression pump system; utilizes limb sleeves for pressure application; intended for DVT prophylaxis; Class II device (21 CFR 870.5800).

## 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.
