Intended Use
The Excalibur Light Therapy System is a non-heating lamp, infrared as described under the provisions of 21 CFR §890.5500 and is clinically indicated for: Adjunctive use in providing temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain i of musculoskeletal origin.
Device Description
The Excalibur Light Therapy System is a band-held, non-invasive, pain therapy system which utilizes non-heating lamps consisting of two laser diodes in one applicator head. It combines the clinically accepted therapeutic treatment of numerous predicate light therapy systems currently in commercial distribution and 510(k) cleared. The system consists of a basic hand-held, battery operated control unit and a permanently attached applicator head. The laser operates at a measured wavelength of 635mm (±1%) and complies with all performance, labeling, and manufacturing standards set forth in 21CFR Part 1040. Stargate International, Inc. is a registered laser manufacturer with the Food and Drug Administration. The laser applicator head produces an output power of ≤4.5mw2 measured, per non-convergent beam and is classified as a Class IIIa laser.
More Information

No
The summary describes a light therapy system using laser diodes and mentions standard performance, electrical safety, and component testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training or testing algorithms.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "clinically indicated for: Adjunctive use in providing temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain". This indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as a "pain therapy system" clinically indicated for "Adjunctive use in providing temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain". It uses light therapy for therapeutic purposes, rather than to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held, battery operated control unit and a permanently attached applicator head" utilizing "two laser diodes," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided text, the Excalibur Light Therapy System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "Adjunctive use in providing temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain of musculoskeletal origin." This describes a therapeutic application on the human body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a "hand-held, non-invasive, pain therapy system" that uses laser diodes applied externally to the body. This is consistent with a physical therapy or pain management device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Excalibur Light Therapy System does not fit this description.

IV. Predicate Device/Substantial Equivalency

The Excalibur Light Therapy System is substantially equivalent to other pulsed low level therapeutic lasers and light therapy systems currently in commercial distribution. The Excalibur Light Therapy System has the same intended use and similar tochnological characteristics to predicate devices. It combines the clinically accepted therapcutic uses of previously FDA 510(k) approved light therapy systems currently in commercial distribution into onc compact and cost-effective system.

The technological equivalence to the predicate devices is substantiated by the wavelength and power output generated by the one Excalibur System applicator head permanently attached to the basic unit. The Excalibur System will provide the same treatment benefits and regimens for clinical presentations already cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for the predicate devices.
