Intended Use
The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices provide traction and mobilization of skeletal structures and skeletal muscles. The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices provide a treatment in static, intermittent, progressive, regressive and cycling distraction forces to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, hip, knee, ankle, wrist, shoulder). Distraction can be applied in a variety of programmable patterns, cycles and functions. The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices may be used to relieve peripheral radiation/sciatica and pain associated with: - > Protruding discs - > Bulging discs - > Herniated discs - > Degenerative disc disease - > Posterior facet syndrome - > Acute facet problems - > Radicular pain - > Prolapsed discs - >> Spinal root impingement - > Hypomobility - > Degenerative joint disease - > Facet syndrome - > Compressions fractures - > Joint pain - > Discogenic pain The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices achieve these effects through decompression of intervertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning.

More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The provided text describes a mechanical traction device with programmable patterns and cycles, but there is no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is described as providing treatment and relief for various skeletal and muscular conditions, including pain associated with disc issues and joint problems, which classifies it as having a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as providing traction and mobilization to relieve pain, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. It treats conditions rather than identifying or diagnosing them.

No

The description explicitly refers to "traction devices" and their function in applying "distraction forces," which are physical actions requiring hardware components. The summary does not mention any software-only aspect.

Based on the provided information, the Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that these devices provide traction and mobilization to skeletal structures and muscles directly on the patient's body. They do not involve the analysis of biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The intended use describes a physical therapy/rehabilitation treatment. The device applies physical forces (traction and distraction) to the body to relieve pain and address musculoskeletal conditions. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

Therefore, the Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices fall under the category of therapeutic medical devices, not IVDs.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices provide traction and mobilization of skeletal structures and skeletal muscles.

The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices provide a treatment in static, intermittent, progressive, regressive and cycling distraction forces to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, hip, knee, etc). This distraction can be applied in a variety of programmable patterns, cycles and functions.

The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices may be used to relieve peripheral radiation/sciatica and pain associated with:

  • Protruding discs

  • Bulging discs

  • Herniated discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Posterior facet syndrome

  • Acute facet problems

  • Radicular pain

  • Prolapsed discs

  • Spinal root impingement

  • Hypomobility

  • Degenerative joint disease

  • Facet syndrome

  • Compressions fractures

  • Joint pain

  • Discogenic pain

The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices achieve these effects through decompression of intervertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning.
