More Information

No
The device description and intended use do not mention any computational or algorithmic features that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The device appears to be a purely mechanical and electrical massager.

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is an "electrically powered therapeutic massager," and its intended uses include "relief of minor muscle aches and pains," "relief of muscle spasm," and "temporary improvement of local circulation," all of which are therapeutic indications. Additionally, it lists a predicate device that is also a "Therapeutic Massager."

No
The TherMassager is described as a therapeutic massager intended for relief of muscle aches, pain, spasms, and to improve circulation and the appearance of cellulite. Its functions are physical therapy and aesthetic in nature, not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a disease or condition).

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, hand-held unit with a housing, suction pump, massage motor, and skin rollers, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

No, the TherMassager is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body. This includes things like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health.
  • The TherMassager is a therapeutic massager. Its intended use is for physical application to the body to provide relief from muscle aches, spasms, and improve circulation and the appearance of cellulite. It does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.

The description clearly indicates it's a physical device for external application, not for laboratory testing of samples.
