AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP Authorized
Intended Use
The Dermillume Red HR1000 infrared lamp is intended for the relaxation of muscles and relief of muscle spasms, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness, temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis, and to temporarity increase local blood circulation.
Device Description
The Dermillume Red HR1000 lamp is a compact light source that delivers high intensity narrow band red and near infrared light to the skin surface. The light sources are narrow bandwidth LEDs mounted in an array to give even and safe illumination of skin surfaces. The principal parts of the lamp are a light unit, positioning arm and firmware timer to control duration of exposure.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the hardware (LEDs, light unit, positioning arm) and a simple firmware timer. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making process.

Yes
The device is intended for therapeutic uses such as relaxation of muscles, pain relief, and increased local blood circulation.

No

The device is intended for therapeutic purposes such as muscle relaxation, pain relief, and increasing blood circulation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "compact light source" with "light sources are narrow bandwidth LEDs mounted in an array," indicating it is a hardware device that emits light. It also mentions a "firmware timer," which is software, but the core function and components are hardware-based.

Based on the provided information, the Dermillume Red HR1000 infrared lamp is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device that applies light to the skin surface for therapeutic purposes (muscle relaxation, pain relief, increased blood circulation). This is a direct interaction with the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a light source and its components, designed to deliver light to the skin. This aligns with a physical therapy or therapeutic device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Dermillume Red HR1000 does not fit this description.

510(k) Summary, contd.

The performance data obtained from bench testing of the Performance Data: Dermillume lamp substantiates that the irradiance at a practicable distance from the skin surface is comparable with the cited predicated lamps.

The mode of operation, technology and general principles of this lamp are the same as the predicate lamps.

There are no significant adverse reactions observed in clinical studies using this technology. The lamp is safe and efficacious.

The Dermillume Red HR1000 infrared lamp is substantially Substantial Equivalence: equivalent to the cited predicate lamps for spectral output, mode of operation, operating principals as well as general and specific indications for use. Although there are some differences in the source of the emitted light and output intensity, these differences are minor and do not raise new questions of safety or efficacy.

The Dermillume Red HR1000 infrared lamp is substantially equivalent.
