The document describes a low-level laser treatment head and its intended use for pain relief. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or any other section. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
Yes
The device's intended use clearly states it provides "topical heating for use when heat is indicated in the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm, pain and stiffness associated with arthritis, and promoting relaxation of the muscle tissue," which are therapeutic benefits.
No
The device is intended for therapeutic purposes, specifically to provide topical heating for pain relief and relaxation of muscle tissue, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Low Level Laser treatment heads that apply energy" and is part of a system that includes hardware components like treatment heads and a PC computer. It is not solely software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "topical heating for use when heat is indicated in the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm, pain and stiffness associated with arthritis, and promoting relaxation of the muscle tissue." This describes a therapeutic application on the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description talks about emitting energy that "penetrates the skin surface to the underlying tissues" and triggering "normal cellular functions." This further reinforces its use as a treatment device applied externally.
- Regulation Number and Product Code: The device is classified under 21 CFR part 890.5500 with Product Code ILY. This regulation and product code are associated with therapeutic physical medicine devices, specifically infrared lamps, not IVD devices.
- Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition based on laboratory analysis.
Therefore, the BioFlex™ LD-175 & LD-1200 Treatment Heads are a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Exhibit 19
Summary of Safety & Effectiveness
Meditech International Inc. has determined that the BioFlex™ LD-175 & LD-1200 Treatment Heads are substantially equivalent to the performance of three predicate devices:
- . K 033768, Optional Infrared Handpiece for CoolGlide Lasers, manufactured by Altus Medical, Inc.
- K031612, Lamp, Infrared, Alt Laser, Model Vtr 75 manufactured by Avicenna Laser . Technology, Inc.
- K024179, Lamp Infrared, Palomar Lightcube, manufactured by Palomar Medical Products, .
This device is different from other predicate devices in that it is part of a regiment that uses proprietary, interchangeable treatment heads to allow various protocols (and software loaded in a P.C. computer to download protocols) and record session / patient data.
A series of factory calibration tests are conducted to verify the device is accurate and calibrated (and can maintain calibration over its useful life). The BioFlex™ LD-175 Treatment Head has benefited from design, development, testing and production procedures that conform to Quality Systems.
This device is safe and effective for the application for which it is intended and has been tested to confirm safety and efficacy. Meditech International Inc. continues to search all appropriate sources for information relating to safety and effectiveness and maintains an in-house reporting system to identify adverse safety and effectiveness information and as such, applicable data is recorded for this product.
