More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts. The device is described as "computerized" but the performance studies focus on electrical safety and tissue heating, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is indicated for "Therapeutic Massager" and "Ultrasonic Diathermy," which are therapeutic applications.

No

The intended uses listed for the device (therapeutic massager for muscle relief, improved circulation, cellulite reduction, and ultrasonic diathermy for pain relief, muscle spasms, and joint contractures) are all therapeutic or palliative in nature, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states that the MC1 is supplied with two handpieces, one ultrasonic and one for computerized body massage, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes therapeutic applications (muscle aches, pain relief, circulation, cellulite reduction, muscle spasms, joint contractures). These are all treatments applied to the body, not tests performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a massager and ultrasound diathermy system with handpieces for direct application to the body. This aligns with therapeutic devices, not diagnostic ones that analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is entirely therapeutic and applied externally.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The MC1 was tested and found to conform with IEC 60601-1 for electrical safety, IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility and IEC 60601-2-5 for electrical safety in ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment. The MED Sculpt was found to conform with these same electrical safety standards. Performance data was presented which showed that the MC1 performed similarly to the previously cleared MED Sculpt in terms of tissue heating. Specifically, testing showed that the MC1 increases tissue temperature as required for ultrasonic diathermy. The two 1 MHz ultrasound transducers can be considered equivalent to the MED Sculpt in terms of heating tissue temperature to at least 40° C. These results are similar to those reported for the MED Sculpt.

§ 890.5300 Ultrasonic diathermy.

(a)
Ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions is a device that applies to specific areas of the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses except for the treatment of malignancies is a device that applies to the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended for the treatment of medical conditions by means other than the generation of deep heat within body tissues as described in paragraph (a) of this section.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP for a device described in paragraph (b) of this section is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before July 13, 1999, for any ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before July 13, 1999, been found to be substantially equivalent to an ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
