More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and therapeutic heating function of an infrared lamp, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is intended for therapeutic heating to provide temporary relief for various musculoskeletal conditions, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as an infrared lamp that provides topical heating for therapeutic purposes, such as pain relief and circulation increase. It does not mention any diagnostic functions like detecting, identifying, or monitoring a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a console and two different LED accessories, which are hardware components. The performance studies also focus on mechanical, electrical, and thermal safety, further indicating a hardware-based device.

Based on the provided information, the MedX 1000 Series is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an infrared lamp used for topical heating to provide temporary relief of various musculoskeletal conditions. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details an infrared lamp system with LED accessories that emit energy for therapeutic heating. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) which is characteristic of IVD devices.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on sample analysis.

The device falls under the category of a physical medicine device (specifically, an infrared lamp) as indicated by the reference to 21 CFR 890.5500.

Technological Characteristics Summary

Testing for the MedX 1000 Series has been carried out in the areas of mechanical, electrical and thermal safety, environmental conditions and electromagnetic compatibility, temperature control and irradiation distribution patterns. The device has been found to be safe in all areas for the intended use.

The MedX Health Inc., MedX 1000 Series is substantially equivalent to the LightForce Therapy Acubeam product in that it has the same intended use as the Light Force Therapy product, but slightly different technical characteristics,. This is a differences in power source with the Light Force Therapy products are battery-operated devices operated where as the MedX 1000 series operates on grounded current, and provides continuous frequency. These differences in technical characteristics do not materially impact the safety or effectiveness of the device. Hence the MedX 1000 Series is substantially equivalent to the LightForce Therapy Acubeam.
