Device Description
The Luminex LL System is a non-thermal, non-invasive, low energy infrared laser, therapeutic medical device that is intended for use as an adjunctive treatment for the temporary relief of hand and wrist pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. The Luminex Laser Therapy System incorporates an AC or battery powered Control Unit and a hand-held laser diode probe incorporating three 30 milliwatt (mW) Gallium Aluminum Arsenide (GaAlAs) laser diodes delivering a total output power of 90mW at the 830 nanometer (nm) wavelength.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and safety of a low energy infrared laser system, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data processing, analysis, or control.

Yes
The device description explicitly states, "The Luminex LL System is a non-thermal, non-invasive, low energy infrared laser, therapeutic medical device."

No

The device description clearly states it is a "therapeutic medical device," and its intended use is for "adjunctive treatment for the temporary relief of hand and wrist pain." There is no mention of diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "low energy infrared laser, therapeutic medical device" and includes hardware components like a "Control Unit" and a "hand-held laser diode probe."

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "temporary relief of hand and wrist pain associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome." This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "non-thermal, non-invasive, low energy infrared laser, therapeutic medical device." It applies energy to the body for treatment.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status based on such analysis. IVDs are designed to perform tests on samples to diagnose or monitor conditions.

Therefore, the Luminex LL System is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Kolton:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115 Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
