Device functions by providing intermittent pneumatic compression to lower limb muscles, increasing deep venous blood flow. Operated in clinical settings; intended for prescription use. Sterile version of previously marketed non-sterile sleeve; provides same mechanical compression therapy as predicate system. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and intended use compared to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Compressible limb sleeve; material: PVC; sterilization: ethylene oxide; energy source: pneumatic (via Jobst Athrombic Pump System 2500). ## 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 - Kendall Healthcare Product's sterile sleeve/SCD compression system ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

This product is a Class II device and is classified as a compressible limb sleeve under 21 CFR 870.5800. The sterile sleeve/Jobst Athrombic Pump System 2500 combination is substantially equivalent to the Kendall Healthcare Product's sterile sleeve/SCD compression system in its mode of operation and indications for use. Both products are used to help prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in recumbent patients by increasing deep venous blood flow from the lower extremities. This is accomplished by intermittent compression of the muscles in the lower limbs. Both sleeves are made of PVC and are sterilized with ethylene oxide. The Jobst Athrombic Pump System 2500 with the non-sterile sleeves has been on the market since 1994 and has proven to be safe and effective in that time. The sterile version is being offered for situations where sterile product is preferred. Date: March 11, 1997 Prepared by: Angelo R.

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. {2} Page 2 - Mr. Angelo R. Pereira This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification.
