More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a far infrared heating device in a back support belt and mentions skin temperature testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data processing that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is intended for the temporary relief of pain and stiffness, muscular relaxation, and temporary increase of local circulation, which are therapeutic claims. It also points to "therapeutic heat" in the summary of performance studies.

No
The device is indicated for temporary relief of pain and stiffness, muscular relaxation, and increased circulation. Its function as a far infrared heating device primarily suggests therapeutic rather than diagnostic use.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "far infrared heating device that is provided in a back support belt," indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Back-tek system 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, stiffness, spasms, strains, sprains, and to increase local circulation. These are therapeutic applications, not diagnostic ones.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a far infrared heating device in a back support belt. This is a physical therapy device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions through in vitro methods, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The Back-tek system's function is to apply heat to the body for therapeutic purposes.
