Intended Use
The AcuMed Laser is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, for the temporary relief of minor joint pain associated with arthritis, for the temporary increase in local circulation where applied and the relaxation of muscles.
Device Description
The AcuMed Laser is a portable, hand held, AC operated non-invasive, low level infrared lamp that provides continuous heat therapy at a fixed frequency.
More Information

The provided text does not contain any predicate device K/DEN numbers. The section "Predicate Device(s)" states "Not Found".

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on basic heat therapy and do not mention any AI/ML capabilities or image processing. The performance studies are limited to functional and electrical safety testing.

Yes
The device is intended for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor joint pain associated with arthritis, temporary increase in local circulation, and muscle relaxation, which are all therapeutic purposes.

No.

The device description clearly states its purpose is "to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, for the temporary relief of minor joint pain associated with arthritis, for the temporary increase in local circulation where applied and the relaxation of muscles." This describes a therapeutic, not a diagnostic, function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable, hand held, AC operated non-invasive, low level infrared lamp," which describes a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, etc." This describes a therapeutic application directly on the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "portable, hand held, AC operated non-invasive, low level infrared lamp that provides continuous heat therapy." This aligns with a physical therapy or pain relief device, not a device used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases

In summary, the AcuMed Laser is a therapeutic device that applies heat to the body for pain relief and muscle relaxation. It does not perform any in vitro diagnostic testing.
