Intended Use
The radiofrequency-energy only delivery components of the Thermage ThermaCool NXT System and Accessories are indicated for use in: - Dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis; - Non-invasive treatment of periorbital wrinkles and rhytids including upper and lower eyelids; - Non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids. The simultaneous application of radiofrequency energy and skin vibration by the Thermage ThermaCool NXT System and Accessories is indicated for use in: - Dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis; - Non-invasive treatment of periorbital wrinkles and rhytids; - Non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids; - Temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite; - Relief of minor muscle aches and pains; - Relief of muscle spasms: - Temporary improvement of local circulation (i.e., blood circulation).
Device Description
The Thermage ThermaCool NXT System delivers capacitively coupled radiofrequency energy while cooling tissue by conduction. Components and accessories include the Multiplex (16.0) Handpiece, Standard Handpiece, Treatment Tips, Return Pad, Electronic Footswich (optional), Cryogen Canister and Coupling fluid. The front panel of the ThermaCool NXT System is equipped with a receptacle to connect the Return Pad to each Handpiece Assembly, comprising the return path for electric current. The modified Standard Handpiece offers user-selectable vibration to provide concurrent mechanical manipulation of tissue in a manner similar to the predicate devices listed.
More Information

No
The summary describes a radiofrequency energy delivery system with cooling and optional vibration. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or any of the provided sections.

Yes.
The device is indicated for various therapeutic uses, including dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis, treatment of wrinkles and rhytids, temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite, relief of minor muscle aches and pains, relief of muscle spasms, and temporary improvement of local circulation.

No

The Thermage ThermaCool NXT System is indicated for therapeutic purposes like electrocoagulation, hemostasis, treatment of wrinkles and rhytids, improvement of cellulite, and relief of muscle aches, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as handpieces, treatment tips, a return pad, and a cryogen canister, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device that delivers radiofrequency energy.

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 examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Thermage ThermaCool NXT System delivers radiofrequency energy and vibration to the body's surface for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes (wrinkle reduction, cellulite improvement, pain relief, etc.). It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The stated intended uses are for dermatologic and surgical procedures, and non-invasive treatments applied directly to the body. None of the indications involve the analysis of in vitro specimens.

Therefore, the Thermage ThermaCool NXT System falls under the category of therapeutic or aesthetic medical devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
