Intended Use
The MTD 4000 traction device provides traction and mobilization of skeletal structures and skeletal muscles. The MTD 4000 may be used to relieve peripheral radiation/sciatica and pain associated with: - Protruding discs - Bulging discs - Herniated discs - Degenerative disc disease - Posterior facet syndrome - Acute facet problems - Radicular pain - Prolapsed discs - Spinal root impingement - Hypomobility - Degenerative joint disease - Facet syndrome - Compressions fractures - Joint pain - Discogenic pain
Device Description
The MTD 4000 (Mettler Traction Decompression) system is an easy to use device that offers static and intermittent traction with user definable hold, rest, and treatment times. It gently pulls the cervical spine or lumbar spine in opposite directions to draw the soft tissue around the cervical or lumbar joints and separate the distance between bone sections of the vertebra.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical traction device with user-definable settings, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

Yes
The device is intended to relieve pain and mobilize skeletal structures, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as a "traction device" used for "traction and mobilization of skeletal structures and skeletal muscles" to relieve pain, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "system" and describes physical actions ("gently pulls the cervical spine or lumbar spine in opposite directions") which are indicative of a hardware device, not software alone. The predicate devices are also physical traction devices.

Based on the provided information, the MTD 4000 traction device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • MTD 4000 Function: The MTD 4000 is a physical therapy device that applies mechanical traction to the spine. It works externally on the body and does not involve the analysis of biological samples.

The description clearly indicates its use for physical treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, not for diagnostic testing using biological specimens.
