No
The device description and lack of mention of AI/ML terms or performance study details indicate a purely mechanical/thermal therapy device.
Yes
The device is described as "Treatment for minor pain and stiffness of non-rheumatoid arthritis" and "Treatment of Range of Motion when combined with exercise," which are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is described as a treatment device that uses heated cellulose to provide massage and improve circulation, wound healing, and comfort. Its intended use is for increasing local blood circulation, treating range of motion, and minor pain/stiffness, which are all therapeutic rather than diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical apparatus involving ground cellulose, a screen filter, housing, and sleeves, indicating it is a hardware-based device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended uses listed (increase of local blood circulation, treatment of range of motion, treatment for minor pain and stiffness) are all related to physical therapy and rehabilitation, not the diagnosis of diseases or conditions through the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical therapy device that uses heated, fluidized cellulose to massage extremities. This is a physical treatment method, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), using reagents, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely therapeutic.

Device Description
The Fluidotherapy type devices describe a process where ground cellulose is held in animated suspension through a screen filter (often called the Fluidizing Bed) and held captive by a housing and flexible velcro tightening sleeves.
This process then allows for a hand, wrist, foot, ankle, and on larger units, the lower leg to be immersed in the heated cellulose.
The now fluidized cellulose gently and warmly massages the extremity resulting in improved blood circulation, wound healing, comfort, etc.
Thermo-Electric's Thermo-Therapy devices have identical technology characteristics to that of Fluidotherapy.
