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.
