More Information

No
The device description details a simple heated paraffin wax spa with electronic temperature and timing controls, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes

The intended use explicitly states symptomatic relief of pain, muscle relaxation, and stimulation of circulation for medical conditions, which are therapeutic claims.

No
Explanation: The device is a heated paraffin wax spa for symptomatic relief of pain, muscle relaxation, and circulation stimulation, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a heated paraffin wax spa consisting of a plastic enclosure, aluminum bucket, and internal heating assembly, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states this is a heated paraffin wax spa intended for home use to provide symptomatic relief of pain and relax muscles. It applies heat externally to the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient.
  • Lack of IVD-related terms: The document does not contain any terms or descriptions related to laboratory testing, specimen collection, or diagnostic analysis.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic device that applies heat externally, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
