No
The summary describes a laser device for pain relief and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is indicated for adjunctive use in the temporary relief of hand and wrist pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, which directly addresses a medical condition to provide therapy.

No
Explanation: The device is indicated for "temporary relief of hand and wrist pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome," which describes a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "hand held portable laser device" which contains hardware components like laser diodes, circuit board, electronics, and a battery.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the temporary relief of hand and wrist pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The device is a hand-held laser used for treatment. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the MedX LCS Laser Series falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
