Revolutionary Wearable Ultrasound Device Gains FDA Approval

DENTON, TEXAS, USA – November 15, 2023 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted over-the- counter marketing clearance for the ManaFlexx 2®, an Electrical Stimulation (EMS) device, from MANAMED®, LLC. ManaFlexx 2 is a compact medical device that delivers electrical pulses to the user’s skin through the company’s patented wireless technology for two distinct uses. The expanded indication applies to both ManaFlexx 2 device’s indications: Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).

Unlike conventional EMS systems, ManaFlexx 2 was designed for ease of use; it is a completely portable and wireless device, that may be placed anywhere treatment is desired, it is reusable and rechargeable. The ManaFlexx 2 was originally only available by prescription through a healthcare provider.

Professional and everyday athletes have been appreciating the many benefits of Neuromuscular Electrical Muscle Stimulation (NMES) for years. Electrostimulation therapy isn’t new technology – NMES has been used to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve muscle and facilitate muscle performance. It also intended to temporarily increase blood circulation in the healthy muscles of lower extremities. Now weekend warriors and consumers will have increased access to NMES technology.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), is a separate function of ManaFlexx2. The TENS function provides temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, arm and leg due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities . This expanded indication joins the previous FDA clearance granted for the noninvasive device as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post- traumatic acute pain.

“Our goal was to make both NMES and TENS simple and practical for professionals and non-professionals alike”, explained MANAMED President and CEO, Trevor Theriot. “Now with the over-the-counter clearance for ManaFlexx 2, we have an ideal solution to increase access for the at-home user who seeks the benefits of NMES for improved muscle performance or TENS for symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain, intractable pain and relief of pain associated with arthritis.”

New Brand Identity, Record Growth and Innovation Sets the Stage for a Strong Start in 2024

Bold, Modern, and Future-focused: ManaMed Redefines its Presence in the Medical Device Industry

DENTON, Texas, Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ManaMed strives to be at the forefront of medical innovation, which is why it is excited to announce that its DVT prevention device, PlasmaFlow, has just received UnitedHealthcare coverage.

 PlasmaFlow is a wearable and portable prescription device that helps prevent blood clots during surgery, at discharge, and at home. It has been shown to increase patient awareness and safety about blood clots while also reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism, and ManaMed is proud to offer this life-saving technology to all medical institutions and providers who are committed to protecting their patients from potential harm. With PlasmaFlow, ManaMed is confident that it can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

ManaMed's CEO and president, Trevor Theriot, says, "UnitedHealthcare's policy update is game-changing for PlasmaFlow. It has been in the market for over 6 years and nearly one million patients have benefited from this medical device. We believe that this March policy update will provide greater access to current UHC patients but will also cause other commercial payers like Anthem to update or re-evaluate their existing medical policies for pneumatic compression devices. As we continue to hear success stories from both providers and patients using this cutting-edge technology, it's hard not to get excited about the future of ManaMed and how we are going to change the lives of even more people."

ManaMed's Vice President of Sales, Joseph Horton, says, "UHC has recognized some key factors that are associated with risk of DVT post-operatively upon discharge. Those key factors include immobility and contraindication to pharmaceutical-anti coagulation due to the risk of bleeding. Based upon my experience, UHC may be looking at the readmission rates provided by CMS along with the risk of developing a DVT can extend at least up to 3 months after surgery. Key evidence of the second peak of development for a DVT can occur about 10 days after surgery; this is when most patients have already been discharged from a facility."

PlasmaFlow is the only FDA-approved prescriptive portable DVT pump with two therapeutic modalities that apply 55mmHg: the first mode applies pressure up to 55mmHG once a minute, and the second mode, which is ManaMed's patented step-up inflation applies, 55mmHg in intervals of 10mmHg for a full minute, which allows for continuous compression to the lower extremities. Functioning as an easy-to-use Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) device, PlasmaFlow consists of two inflatable sleeves that are wrapped around the calves and secured by a hook and loop closure.

Once inflated, the device will compress the leg(s) and will increase blood circulation while reducing Venous Stasis, which will reduce the risk of a blood clot(s). PlasmaFlow is a remarkable device that provides patients with a convenient and comfortable way to prevent DVT. With its two therapeutic modes, patients can choose the mode of compression that is right for them.

PlasmaFlow is easy to use, and its portability makes it ideal for those who are constantly on the go. Whether you are at risk for DVT or have an upcoming surgery, PlasmaFlow can help you keep your blood flowing and increase your chances of being clot-free.

IPC has been proven over the last 30-plus years with clinical studies to reduce the risk of DVT (Blood Clots) with significantly no side effects by increasing blood circulation and reducing venous stasis. Clinical studies have shown that wearing an IPC Device will stimulate the release of the body's own natural anticoagulants to help prevent the development of a potentially life-threatening blood clot(s).

UnitedHealthcare Policy Number 2022T0563M

Intermittent limb compression devices have been proven to be medically necessary for outpatient settings and upon discharge of a patient post-surgery. PlasmaFlow efficiently prevents deep venous thrombosis (DVT) if the following criteria are met:

Immobility, meaning a patient is not able to get up from a chair or leave his/her bed and walk to the toilet without the help of another person

Contraindication to pharmaceutical anti-coagulation

None of the following contraindications are present:

Skin or tissue conditions that may be negatively impacted by the use of garments

ManaMed strives to be at the forefront of medical innovation, which is why it is excited to announce that its DVT prevention device, PlasmaFlow, has just received UnitedHealthcare coverage.

ManaMed Ranked No. 992 on the 2021 Inc. 5000 With 485% Three-Year Revenue Growth

The company's historical first FDA-approved portable and tubeless DVT prevention device is now available to medical practitioners and patients throughout the United States. 

"We at ManaMed are thrilled that our innovative PlasmaFlow DVT prevention device is available to help mitigate the risk to 600,000-plus new cases of DVT every year in the USA," says Trevor Theriot, Co-Founder and CEO of Manamed.  Theriot adds: "Blood Clots are a silent killer in the medical industry and we decided to up the fight against DVT related deaths."  PlasmaFlow is the first FDA-approved portable and tubeless sequential device with multiple pressure functions. Designed for optimal results and patient comfort, PlasmaFlow features innovative step-up-technology, user-friendly one-button operation, soft cuffs made of high-grade medical material, up to 10hours of battery life, rechargeable, two LCD screens with timer and verification of pressure, and graduated and asymmetric compression for maximum benefit.

A thriving demand for ease in treatment is provided by PlasmaFlow.  Tubeless and portable, PlasmaFlow is intended for use at home or at the hospital to help prevent the onset of DVT in patients by stimulating blood flow in the extremities. PlasmaFlow can be used to prevent DVT, enhance blood circulation, reduce post-operative pain and swelling, reduce wound healing time, aid in the treatment of  stasis dermatitis, venous stasis ulcers, arterial and diabetic leg ulcers, chronic venous insufficiently and reduction of edema in the lower limbs. The device can also be used as an aid in the prophylaxis for DVT by people stationary for long periods of time. 

The risk of getting a blood clot is highest during and 14 days after surgery, and goes down with time. PlasmaFlow should be used anytime during post-surgery recovery when a patient is sitting, resting or laying down. PlasmaFlow, prescribed by a physician, allows a multimodal approach for venous thromboembolism (VTE) for high-risk orthopedic surgery patients. Current Board guidelines indicate that aspirin is not appropriate as the only option for the prevention of DVT. Unlike prescriptive drugs, PlasmaFlow helps mitigate the risk of bleeding and does not require weekly blood monitoring. 

Theriot adds: "With our FDA approval we feel PlasmaFlow is a great leap for mankind toward DVT prevention and we will remain on the cutting edge toward pioneering a wide range of innovative physical therapy devices all geared toward making daily life a better experience for all."
