AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP Authorized
Intended Use
This device is intended to be used for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, the temporary relief of minor joint pain associated with arthritis, the temporary increase in local circulation where applied, and relaxation of muscles. In addition, the lamp may also help muscle spasms, minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain.
Device Description
The ULK-H and ULT-H lamps each contain a number of quartz bulbs with ceramic coatings that when heated emits infrared radiation with wavelengths from 8 to 40 microns (8.000 to 40.000 nanometers).
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a simple infrared lamp for pain relief and does not mention any computational or learning capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as providing "temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness" and other therapeutic benefits using infrared radiation.

No
This device is for pain relief and circulation increase, not for identifying or diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a lamp containing quartz bulbs that emit infrared radiation, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body. This device is applied externally to the body for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, circulation, muscle relaxation).
  • The intended use describes a therapeutic application. The device is intended to treat symptoms like pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms, not to diagnose a condition by analyzing biological samples.
  • The device description details a physical therapy modality (infrared radiation). It describes how the device works by emitting infrared radiation, which is a form of energy used for therapeutic heating, not for analyzing biological samples.

The information provided clearly indicates this is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

    This summary was prepared on September 29, 2003.

  • The name of the device is the TLC Infrared Lamp in two models, Whole Body 3. Model ULK-H and the Topical Model ULT-H. These devices may be used for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, the temporary relief of minor joint pain associated with arthritis, the temporary increase in local circulation where applied, and relaxation of muscles. In addition, the lamp may also help muscle spasms, minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain.

  • The above device is substantially equivalent to the Model CGO-222B TDP 4. infrared lamp and the other models that were cleared in K020851.

  • న్. The ULK-H and ULT-H lamps each contain a number of quartz bulbs with ceramic coatings that when heated emits infrared radiation with wavelengths from 8 to 40 microns (8.000 to 40.000 nanometers).

  • The technological characteristics of the device are similar to those of the predicate 6. device which has a metal ceramic-coated plate which when heated emits infrared radiation with wavelengths from 1 to 25 microns (1,000 to 25,000 nanometers).
