Intended Use
The PowerLaser is intended to emit energy in the visible and near infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for a temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm; the temporary increase in local blood circulation; the temporary relaxation of muscle and/or increased healing of wounds.
Device Description
The PowerLaser is a hand-held, battery operated, non-invasive, low level infrared therapeutic laser lamp. A separate battery charger can recharge the battery when it is removed from the PowerLaser. PowerLaser is a medical device, which is delivered packed with battery charger and complete labeling for the user.
More Information

No
The summary describes a simple therapeutic laser device with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or performance studies related to algorithmic analysis.

Yes

The Device Description explicitly states, "PowerLaser is a medical device, which is delivered packed with battery charger and complete labeling for the user." The Intended Use also describes its purpose for "temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm; the temporary increase in local blood circulation; the temporary relaxation of muscle and/or increased healing of wounds," all of which are therapeutic applications.

No
The PowerLaser is described as a therapeutic device intended to provide topical heating for pain relief and increased healing, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held, battery operated, non-invasive, low level infrared therapeutic laser lamp," indicating it is a physical hardware device that emits energy.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a therapeutic device that applies energy to the body for pain relief, increased circulation, muscle relaxation, and wound healing. This is an in vivo application (acting on a living organism), not an in vitro application (testing samples outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a hand-held, non-invasive therapeutic laser lamp.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), performing tests on these samples, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Substantial Equivalence: The PowerLaser is substantially equivalent to other infrared lamps currently in commercial distribution such as the PowerLaser 90 which was the subject of 510(k) number K030692 and the Vectra Genisys Laser System which was the subject of 510(k) number K040662. The PowerLaser has the equivalent intended use (i.e. pain relief). Device Description: The PowerLaser is a hand-held, battery operated, non-invasive, low level infrared therapeutic laser lamp. A separate battery charger can recharge the battery when it is removed from the PowerLaser. PowerLaser is a medical device, which is delivered packed with battery charger and complete labeling for the user. Special Controls: The PowerLaser as well as the battery charger demonstrates compliance to relevant safetystandards, EMC standards and standards for low level infrared laser equipment. Statement of Indications for use: The PowerLaser is intended to emit energy in the visible and near infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for a temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm; the temporary increase in local blood circulation; and / or the temporary relaxation of muscle.

Dear Arne Grinsted:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of July 2, 2007.

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 (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 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 mav 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.
