More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on infrared heat therapy and do not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness, muscle spasms, strains, sprains, and muscular back pain, as well as muscular relaxation and temporary increase of local circulation. These are all therapeutic benefits.

No

This device is a therapeutic device that provides heat therapy for pain relief and increased circulation. Its intended uses do not involve diagnosing any medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of an outer application cover with adjustable pads that enclose infrared heating elements, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the temporary relief of pain and stiffness, muscle relaxation, and increased local circulation. These are all therapeutic applications applied directly to the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a system that provides infrared heat to the patient's body using pads and heating elements. This is a physical therapy device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not applied to the body for therapeutic purposes.

Product Description:

The Thermotex Heat Therapy Systems provide infrared heat to different areas of the patient's body. The Systems consist of an outer application cover with adjustable pads that enclose the infrared heating elements to treat different areas of the body. The pad's covers are fabricated of nylon-cotton blend. Velcro fasteners on the cover allow for adjusting the cover and pads for optimum contact to the patient's body areas.

Indications for Use:

The Thermotex Heat Therapy Systems are indicated for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness; the temporary relief of joint pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms, minor strains and sprains and minor muscular back pain; muscular relaxation; and the temporary increase of local circulation where applied.

Predicate Devices:

The Thermotex Heat Therapy Systems is substantially equivalent to BIO-MAT 2000 (K072534) - Rich Way International Inc.

Technological Characteristics

The Thermotex Heat Therapy Systems are electrically-powered pads that generate infrared radiation to apply heat to affected body areas. The user can control the pad's heat mrarou raintente to the body by means of a 3-position switch. The manufacturer has evaluated the pad's performance during laboratory bench testing and animal studies to demonstrate infrared radiation capability and its safety.
