No

Yes
The device is indicated for non-invasive treatment of periorbital and facial wrinkles and rhytids, which constitutes a therapeutic use.

No
The Thermage ThermaCool System is indicated for treatment (electro coagulation, hemostasis, and non-invasive treatment of wrinkles), not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly lists multiple hardware components including an RF Generator, Cooling Module, Cryogen Canister, Handpiece Assembly, cables, tubing, and an optional footswitch. This indicates it is a hardware-based system, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "Dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electro coagulation and hemostasis," and "Non-invasive treatment of periorbital wrinkles and rhytids," and "Non-invasive treatment of facial wrinkles and rhytids." These are all therapeutic or surgical procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The components described (RF Generator, Cooling Module, Handpiece Assembly, etc.) are consistent with a device that delivers energy to the body for treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. IVDs are designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens and provide information about a person's health status.

The Thermage ThermaCool System is a therapeutic medical device used for cosmetic and surgical procedures.
