Intended Use
The Luminex Infrared Lamp System is intended to emit energy in the visible and near infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the 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.
Device Description
The Luminex Infrared Lamp System is an AC operated, non-invasive, therapeutic medical device that provides continuous heat therapy through the use of infrared and visible laser diodes. The system consists of a Control Unit that houses the electronics and controls, and treatment probes that contain the infrared and visible laser diodes. The probes are intended to be placed directly on the skin to provide topical heating.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on hardware components and basic heat therapy, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device description explicitly states it is a "therapeutic medical device."

No
The device is described as a "therapeutic medical device" intended for pain relief and increased blood circulation through heat therapy, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "AC operated, non-invasive, therapeutic medical device" consisting of a "Control Unit" and "treatment probes" containing "infrared and visible laser diodes," indicating it is a hardware-based device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for providing topical heating to the body for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, increased circulation, muscle relaxation). This is a direct interaction with the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a non-invasive, therapeutic medical device that applies heat directly to the skin.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. The Luminex system does not involve any specimen collection or analysis.

Therefore, the Luminex Infrared Lamp System falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

tissue temperature for the 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.

IV. Predicate Devices

Predicate devices to the Luminex Infrared Lamp System include, but are not limited to, the Thor DDII IR Lamp System (K033923), the Maestro MDTL Laser System (K053473), and the Vectra Genisys Laser System (K040662).

V. Summary of the Technical Characteristics of the Luminex System as Related to the Referenced Predicate Devices.

The Luminex Infrared Lamp System and the aforementioned predicate devices are infrared lamps as defined in 21 CFR 890.5500. These devices utilize infrared and visible diodes to generate topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperatures for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm, the temporary increase in local circulation and the temporary relaxation of muscle. The Luminex Infrared Lamp System and the aforementioned predicate devices have the same intended uses and similar technical and performance characteristics.

VI. Testing

Testing of the Luminex Infrared Lamp System includes functional performance testing and electrical safety testing in accordance with all applicable standards for Infrared Lamp Systems of this type.

VII. Conclusions

Pursuant to the testing and comparison to the predicate devices, the Luminex Infrared Lamp System has the equivalent intended uses, with similar technical and performance characteristics. The Luminex Infrared Lamp System complies with the generally accepted therapeutic heat performance specifications by producing a level of tissue temperature reported in the literature and accepted by the Federal Food and Druq Administration.
