Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn an Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Device (IPCD), VenAir, effectiveness in healthy adults. The main questions this research aims to answer are:

1. The hemodynamic performance of VenAir paired with the thigh garments, calf garments, and foot garments is not inferior to that of SCD700 paired with the corresponding garments.
2. The hemodynamic performance of VenAir paired with the thigh garments, calf garments, and foot garments is not inferior to that of SCD700 paired with the thigh garment.

Researchers will compare VenAir and the SCD700 to see if the hemodynamic performance of VenAir is as well as or not worse than the SCD700.

Participants will lie down and rest for approximately 30 minutes to stabilize their heart rate. The researcher will then use ultrasound to measure the participant's blood flow while they wear different leg garments (one at a time) and also when no garment is worn.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

This study uses a randomized crossover design in which each participant will be tested with two devices (VenAir and SCD700). The same participant will use both devices, allowing each participant to serve as their own control.

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

VenAir

The VenAir and its garments (thigh, calf, foot) will be tested in a randomized testing order.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VenAir

Intervention Type DEVICE

VenAir is an intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) device intended to help prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). In this study, VenAir is applied to the participant's lower limb under standard operating settings, and hemodynamic performance is measured for comparison with SCD700.

SCD700

The SCD700 and its garments (thigh, calf, foot) will be tested in a randomized testing order.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

SCD700

Intervention Type DEVICE

SCD700 is a commercially available intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) device used to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). In this study, SCD700 is applied to the participant's lower limb under standard operating settings, and hemodynamic performance is measured to compare with VenAir.
