AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP Authorized
Intended Use
The VelaShape is indicated for the relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasm, temporary improvement of local blood circulation, temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite, and for temporary reduction of thighs circumferences.
Device Description
The VelaShape treatment is based on the simultaneous application of heat and mechanical manipulation to the tissue, wherein the heat is derived from light energy at a controlled infrared wavelength and from conducted RF energy, and the mechanical manipulation is derived from massage and/or vacuum.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical mechanisms of action (heat, light, RF energy, massage, vacuum) and does not mention any computational or algorithmic components indicative of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for "relief of minor muscle aches and pain" and "relief of muscle spasm," which clearly describes therapeutic effects.

No
The device is indicated for therapeutic purposes (relief of pain, circulation improvement, cellulite and circumference reduction) rather than for identifying or detecting diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states the device applies heat and mechanical manipulation, which are hardware-based functions, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed (relief of muscle aches/pain/spasm, improved blood circulation, cellulite reduction, thigh circumference reduction) are all related to treating or affecting the body directly. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor conditions.
  • Device Description: The device description details a treatment method involving heat and mechanical manipulation applied to the body. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

Therefore, the VelaShape is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The VelaShape is indicated for the relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasm, temporary improvement of local blood circulation, temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite, and for temporary reduction of thighs circumferences.

510/k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS SYNERON MEDICAL Ltd. VELASHAPE

This summary of safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of the SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.

Medical Industrial Park. P.O.B. રુડી, Syneron Ltd.. Submitter: Yokneam Illit, 20692, Israel. Tel. +972-73-244-2200 ext. 591, Fax +972-73-244-2202

Name of the Device: VelaShape

This is special 510k for the VelaShape (name change from Predicate Devices: VelaSmooth, Shaper) that is substantially equivalent to the following cleared device: VelaSmooth, Shaper, manufactured by Syneron Medical Ltd. and subject of K050397 and of K070092.

  • Device Description: The VelaShape treatment is based on the simultaneous application of heat and mechanical manipulation to the tissue, wherein the heat is derived from light energy at a controlled infrared wavelength and from conducted RF energy, and the mechanical manipulation is derived from massage and/or vacuum.
    The VelaShape is indicated for the relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasm, temporary improvement of local blood circulation, and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite (K050397). The VelaShape is also indicated for temporary reduction of thighs circumferences (K070092).

The modification of the increased RF power of the VelaShape does not affect the intended use or alter the fundamental scientific technology background of the device, nor that it affect the mode of use. There are no labeling changes that affect the intended use of the device.

The modification of the increased RF power raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Dr. Iger:

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.
