The document describes a combination therapy device (ultrasound, interferential, infrared) with various modes of operation (scanned, hands-free). There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that suggest the device learns, adapts, or makes decisions based on data analysis beyond pre-programmed therapy parameters. The performance studies focus on thermal safety, not algorithmic performance.
Yes
The device is indicated for pain relief, managing chronic intractable pain, treating traumatic or post-surgical pain, applying therapeutic deep heat, and providing temporary relief for various musculoskeletal conditions, all of which are considered therapeutic applications.
No
Explanation: The document describes the device's therapeutic functions for pain relief, heating, and muscle relaxation, but it does not mention any diagnostic capabilities such as identifying diseases, conditions, or the cause of symptoms.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as ultrasound applicators, an infrared light probe, and a system that provides ultrasonic diathermy, interferential current therapy, and infrared lamp therapy.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended uses described (pain relief, deep heat therapy, topical heating) are all related to treating conditions within the body. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor conditions.
- Device Description: The device provides ultrasonic diathermy, interferential current therapy, and infrared lamp therapy. These are all therapeutic modalities applied to the body, not used to analyze samples from the body.
- No mention of analyzing biological samples: There is no indication that this device interacts with or analyzes any biological specimens.
Therefore, the HF54 Combination Ultrasound Interferential and Premodulated Stimulation System is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Substantial Equivalence (SE) Rationale 12.1
12.1.1 Technology
The HF54 with optional hands-free operation offers the same electrical stimulation, ultrasonic therapy and/or combination of the two and shares the same characteristics including waveforms, operating frequencies and the same use in physical medicine and neurology as the predicate device. The device with its proposed extended indications for use is intended to be used only by a qualified therapist.
12.1.2 Standards
The ultrasound output and electrical stimulation currents are consistent with FDA guidance and international standards. The new device is in compliance to the same standards.
12.1.3 Materials
The materials used in construction of the device and the method of information display are identical. The measured parameters for the proposed HF54 are the identical to those displayed on the device cleared under K062256. The software has not been changed from the cleared device.
12.1.4 Risk Analysis
The expanded indications for use (stationary ultrasound) needed a review of the risks posed by a stationary technique. The primary risks were identified as:
- a) Temperatures in tissues above 45 °C
- b) Temperature rise in bone
- Standing waves c)
- d) Self-heating of the ultrasound applicator
- The patient falling asleep during hands-free operation possibly leading to e) overheating of tissues.
Temperatures in Tissues and In Bone 12.1.4.1
From Measurement and Thermal Index Calculations, it was shown that with an intensity of ≤ 10W, the temperature of Tissue or Bone would not rise above 45 °C when used as directed. See Attachment C-1. There is no new safety issue.
12.1.4.2 Standing Waves
The ultrasound output is pulsed and will not support standing waves. There is no new safety issue.
12.1.4.3 Self Heating of the Ultrasound Applicator
Measurements made during the original submission for the HF54 included thermal measurements of the ultrasound applicator surface. The tests demonstrated that the applicator surface temperature did not exceed 45 °C when stationary, over the whole treatment time. Measurements were made at equal distances across the surface of the treatment surface. There is no new safety issue.
HF54 With Optional Hands-free operation
4
Patient falling asleep during treatment 12.1.4.4
The operator's manual requires that the operator remain in the same area as the patient and must monitor the patient to ensure that the patient has not fallen asleep.
There are no new treatment modes, identical circuitry and software are used. The changes therefore do not change the effectiveness of the device.
12.2 Conclusion
The proposed HF54 with Optional Hands-free operation when used as directed in the operator's manual presents no new safety or effectiveness concerns and is Substantially Equivalent to the current version of the HF54 cleared under K062256.
