Intended Use
The SSIR System 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, or muscle spasm; - the temporary increase in local circulation; and / or - the temporary relaxation of muscle.
Device Description
The SSIR System is a modern, safe, and easy-to-use devices, which provide continuous heat therapy. The SSIR System consists of a power supply that houses the electronics and controls and treatment module (Velcro Strap Model) that contain the infrared radiating element. The power supply is manufactured from a plastic material that is used in similar products currently in commercial distribution by various medical device companies. The power supply houses a green LED light to indicate when the unit is active. The Velcro Strap Model is a treatment module comprised of a silicon diode in a black anodized aluminum housing with attached velcro straos. The area of this module that comes in contact with the treatment site is covered with black cotton feit.

No
The description focuses on basic infrared heating technology and control electronics, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes.
The device's stated intended use is for "the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm; the temporary increase in local circulation; and / or the temporary relaxation of muscle," which are therapeutic benefits.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly state that the SSIR System is for therapeutic purposes (topical heating for pain relief, increased circulation, muscle relaxation) and does not mention any function related to diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a power supply and a treatment module containing an infrared radiating element, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for providing topical heating to the body for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, circulation increase, muscle relaxation). This involves direct interaction with the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that emits infrared energy and is applied externally to the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. The SSIR System operates in vivo (on the body).
