Intended Use

The Expanded Spectrum Photo Therapy Device (ESPT-3X) is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for:

  • the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, .
  • minor arthritis pain, .
  • muscle spasm, 0
  • the temporary increase in local blood circulation and/or .
  • promoting relaxation of muscle. .

The ESPT-3X is for prescription use only.

Device Description

The ESPT-3X console is a non-invasive, portable, therapeutic medical laser designed to deliver high level (Class IV) energy/power for the purpose of reducing musculoskeletal pain. A "hand piece" accessory evenly delivers a Class IV laser to the target tissue. This channel is equipped with a red aiming beam (1 mW) that provides visible illumination of the area being treated. The console is equipped with a separate and independent timer that is manually set by the operator.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the K083560 device (Expanded Spectrum Photo Therapy Device (ESPT-3X)) does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria through a clinical or comparative effectiveness study.

This type of 510(k) submission primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on technological characteristics and intended use, rather than presenting a standalone clinical trial with performance metrics against acceptance criteria.

The document indicates:

  • Intended Use: The device is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain/stiffness, minor arthritis pain, muscle spasm, temporary increase in local blood circulation, and promoting muscle relaxation.
  • Technical Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence: The ESPT-3X provides Class IV therapy and has the "same technological characteristics (e.g., wavelength, power, and frequency) as other commercially available Class IV devices." It was "tested extensively to ensure conformance to applicable standards and FDA regulations."

Since the provided text does not describe a study with specific acceptance criteria and performance results, I cannot fill in the requested table and details. The 510(k) process often relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to already cleared devices, meaning extensive new clinical performance data might not be required if the technological characteristics and intended use are similar, and safety is established through conformance to standards.

Dear Mr. Lehtonen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
