The summary describes a thermal imaging device that captures and displays images for diagnosis. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced image processing techniques that would suggest the use of such technologies. The description focuses on the basic functionality of thermal imaging and image storage.
No
The device is described as a "noninvasive diagnostic technique" that is used "as an aid for diagnosis as well as to follow up therapy," indicating a diagnostic rather than a therapeutic purpose.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Thermal Imaging is a noninvasive diagnostic technique" and that the device "will be used as an aid for diagnosis." It also mentions that "Images are captured and stored on a computer that can be used to diagnose problem areas."
No
The summary describes a "Thermal Imaging" device that "allows the user to graphically map the body temperature and display the image on a monitor." It also references a predicate device, the "Dorex DTI-16 thermal imager," which is a hardware device. While the summary lacks a detailed device description, the nature of thermal imaging and the predicate device strongly suggest the inclusion of hardware (a thermal camera or sensor) to capture the temperature data, making it not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body).
- This device uses thermal imaging to measure skin surface temperature on the body (in vivo).
The description clearly states it's a "noninvasive diagnostic technique" that "quantify and visualize skin surface temperature changes" and "graphically map the body temperature." This is a form of in vivo imaging, not in vitro testing of specimens.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Thermal Imaging is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that allows a practitioner to quantify and visualize skin surface temperature changes. The Spectrum 9000 MB allows the user to graphically map the body temperature and display the image on a monitor. The Spectrum 9000MB will be used as an aid for diagnosis as well as to follow up therapy on such areas as orthopedics, pain management, neurology and diabetic foot care.
The intended use for the Spectrum 9000 MB is similar to what is being used currently on the Dorex DTI-16 thermal imager. Images are captured and stored on a computer that can be used to diagnose problem areas.

§ 884.2980 Telethermographic system.
(a)
Telethermographic system intended for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses —(1)Identification. A telethermographic system for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(2)
Classification. Class I (general controls).(b)
Telethermographic system intended for use alone in diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses —(1)Identification. A telethermographic system for use as the sole diagnostic screening tool for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(2)
Classification. Class III.(3)
Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of the enactment date of the amendments, May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before the device described in paragraph (b)(1) may be commercially distributed. See § 884.3.

Mr. Mel Kutas President DOREX, Inc. 954 North Lemon St. ORANGE CA 92867 Re: K023434 Trade/Device Name: Dorex Spectrum 9000MB Thermography System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.2980 Regulation Name: Telethermographic system Regulatory Class: I Product Code: 90 LHQ Dated: October 15, 2002 Received: October 15, 2002
Dear Mr. Kutas:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
