No
The device description and intended use focus solely on the physical and chemical properties of a heat patch, with no mention of any computational or data-driven components.
Yes
The device is intended to provide therapeutic relief for minor muscle and joint aches, pain, and menstrual pain through moist heat therapy. It also aims to temporarily increase local blood circulation, which are all therapeutic effects.
No
The device is described as providing "moist heat therapy to temporarily relieve minor muscle and joint aches and pain" and "temporarily relieves minor menstrual pain." It functions as an air-activated patch that generates heat for therapeutic relief, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a fabric sachet, heating element mixture, backing sheet, hydrogel layer, and packaging, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a heat therapy patch that adheres to the skin and generates heat to relieve pain. It does not involve testing any samples from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for topical application to the skin for pain relief and increased local blood circulation. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
Therefore, the BENGAY™ Heat Therapy device falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The safety (potential for cumulative irritation and thermalrelated injury; and, change in skin surface temperature) of BENGAY™ Heat Therapy was demonstrated in a clinical study that compared BENGAY™ Heat Therapy with the predicate device.
Based on the results of relevant biocompatibility testing (in vitro cytotoxicity; sensitization; and, dermal irritation studies), the final product is safe for use as a body contact surface medical device.

Technological Characteristics:
The device consists of 6 components:
- Oxygen-impermeable, primary packaging; .
- . Breathable fabric sachet containing the heating element mixture;
- Heating element mixture; .
- Backing sheet which separates the heating element . mixture from the hydrogel layer;
- . Hydrogel layer to provide adhesion to the skin surface; and,
- Release liner to protect the adhesive hydrogel laver . prior to consumer use
When the air-tight, protective packaging is opened, the heating element mixture reacts with oxygen in the air, and the patch begins to warm up. It takes up to 30 minutes for the patch to reach its target temperature range. The patch stays warm for at least 8 hours.
BENGA Y™ Heat Therapy reaches its target temperature range in 30 minutes or less, and remains in this temperature range for a minimum of 8 hours.
BENGAY™ Heat Therapy provides moist heat as demonstrated by user perception and laboratory experiments.
The safety (potential for cumulative irritation and thermalrelated injury; and, change in skin surface temperature) of BENGAY™ Heat Therapy was demonstrated in a clinical study that compared BENGAY™ Heat Therapy with the predicate device.
Based on the results of relevant biocompatibility testing (in vitro cytotoxicity; sensitization; and, dermal irritation studies), the final product is safe for use as a body contact surface medical device.
