Intended Use
The wwMed "" Model 401 is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide 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 muscles.
Device Description
This device can be described as a Class II Low Level Light treatment process employing the application of energy, which penetrates the skin surface to the underlying tissues, and triggers normal cellular functions that lead to a surgery-free, drug-free, and low cost benefit to the patient, the practitioner and the health care system. This device uses proprietary techniques and computational processes.

No
The summary describes a light therapy device and does not mention AI or ML. The phrase "computational processes" is too general to indicate AI/ML.

Yes.
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended for "temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm, pain and stiffness associated with arthritis, and promoting relaxation of muscles," which are therapeutic applications.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states the device is for providing topical heating for pain relief and muscle relaxation, not for diagnosing conditions. The "Intended User / Care Setting" also mentions that the health care professional diagnoses the patient, and then uses this device for treatment.

No

The device description explicitly states it "is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum" and "employing the application of energy," which indicates a hardware component is necessary to generate and deliver this energy. While it mentions "proprietary techniques and computational processes," these likely control the hardware, not constitute the entire device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide topical heating for the temporary relief of pain and stiffness. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the application of energy to the body for therapeutic effect. It does not mention analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document lacks any mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which is a defining characteristic of IVDs.

Therefore, the wwMed " Model 401 is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
