Intended Use
The Light Relief Infrared Lamp is an over-the-counter device intended for use wherever hot applications are desirable for personal comfort and whenever recommended by a licensed medical professional for the purpose of providing temporary relief of minor aches and pains in muscles and joints. This infrared heat lamp is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating and/or maintaining tissue temperature. - Use wherever heat application is prescribed for personal comfort and the temporary relief of minor muscular pain, joint pain and stiffness. - Provides temporary relief of minor aches and pains in muscles and joints. - Aids in the relaxation of muscles. - Helps provide a temporary improved range and freedom of motion due to muscle relaxation and temporary minor pain relief. - Provides a temporary increase in local blood circulation.
Device Description
The Light Relief Infrared Lamp is a pain relief device consisting of a hand-held module with a flexible pad, containing an array of 59 colored and infrared LED's, and a power supply. Minor design changes have been made to the device, including: an increase in the pad size and number of LEDs; addition of rechargeable battery option, automatic shut off feature, internal heating element and frequency options; and changes to the pad material, pad attachment method and body strap closure method.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a simple infrared heat lamp with LEDs and basic features like an automatic shut-off. There is no mention of any computational processing, data analysis, or learning algorithms.

Yes
The device is described as providing temporary relief of minor aches and pains in muscles and joints, and for personal comfort, which aligns with the uses of a therapeutic device. It also mentions usage for elevating and/or maintaining tissue temperature and aiding in muscle relaxation, all of which are therapeutic in nature.

No

The device is described as an over-the-counter device intended for providing temporary relief of minor aches and pains, relaxing muscles, and increasing local blood circulation. It provides therapy rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a hand-held module with a flexible pad containing LEDs and a power supply, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Light Relief Infrared Lamp is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for providing temporary relief of minor aches and pains in muscles and joints through topical heating. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a hand-held module with LEDs and a power supply, designed to emit infrared energy for heating. This aligns with a physical therapy or pain relief device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. The Light Relief Infrared Lamp operates in vivo (on the body) and provides a therapeutic effect (heat for pain relief).

Dear Ms. McLaughlin:

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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

3

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) 276-0120.
