More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical mechanisms of action (heat, light, RF energy, mechanical manipulation) and does not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes

The device is indicated for the relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasm, and temporary improvement of local blood circulation, which are all therapeutic benefits.

No
Explanation: The device is indicated for therapeutic purposes such as pain relief, improvement of blood circulation, and reduction of cellulite appearance. It does not mention any function for diagnosing diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states the application of heat, light energy, RF energy, and mechanical manipulations, indicating a hardware-based device.

Based on the provided information, the Vela smooth, Shaper is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed (relief of muscle aches and pain, muscle spasm, improved blood circulation, cellulite reduction) are all related to treating or affecting the body directly, not analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details the application of heat, light energy, RF energy, and mechanical manipulation to the skin. This is a physical treatment method, not an in vitro diagnostic process.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Vela smooth, Shaper's function is entirely external and therapeutic.
