Intended Use
The Nexus BioWave Series IR Lamp Systems are intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm; the temporary increase in local blood circulation; and / or the temporary relaxation of muscle.
Device Description
The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems are intended for use as infrared heat lamps. The Systems are non-invasive devices that emit light energy to the skin-surface of human body for the purpose of causing the therapeutic elevation of tissue temperature. The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems deliver an invisible laser light beam in the infrared spectrum at wavelengths of 810 and 980 nm using a gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) source. The laser light beam is carried to the focusing lens on the handpiece probe by quartz optical fibers. The tissue to be treated is illuminated by a non-therapeutic red laser guide light. The Systems consist of 2 main hardware sub-systems: 1) the control console and 2) the treatment handpiece probe with its connecting cable. The control consoles are made of standard medical PVC material and are designed to be place on a desktop or table in the vicinity of the patient to be treated. The console houses the user interface, which is a pressure activated membrane and an LCD display. The treatment probes are made of standard medical grade PVC. The laser energy for heat treatment is delivered to the treatment probe via fiberoptic cables. The probes contain a focusing lens at the aperture, which is made of glass suitable for medical applications.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the hardware components and the physical mechanism of action (infrared heat). There is no mention of AI, ML, or any data processing that would suggest such technology is used.

Yes.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended for "temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm; the temporary increase in local blood circulation; and / or the temporary relaxation of muscle," which are therapeutic purposes. The "Device Description" also mentions its purpose as being for "the therapeutic elevation of tissue temperature."

No

This device is an infrared heat lamp system intended for therapeutic purposes like temporary pain relief and increased blood circulation by elevating tissue temperature, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components including a control console, treatment handpiece probe, connecting cable, optical fibers, focusing lens, and a laser source. It is not solely software.

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 providing topical heating to the human body for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, increased blood circulation, muscle relaxation). This is a direct treatment applied to the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a non-invasive device that emits infrared light to the skin surface. It describes the hardware components (control console, handpiece probe) and how the energy is delivered. There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device does not perform any such analysis.

The device is a therapeutic device that applies energy to the body for treatment, not a diagnostic device that analyzes samples to diagnose a condition.

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

Testing of the Systems include functional performance testing and electrical safety testing. The Systems are manufactured to comply with the following international standards:
EN 60601-1:2001 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1, General Requirements for Safety
EN 60601-1-2:2001 Medical Electrical Equipment, General Requirement for Safety. Electromagnetic Compatibility
ISO 14971 Medical Devices: Application of Risk Management

The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems are capable of achieving therapeutic temperature range of 40 - 45 degrees centigrade as accepted by the FDA. An increase in topical heating of the tissue level by at least 5 decrees centigrade was reached within one (1) minute as demonstrated in the bench testing that was conducted on each handheld probe. The therapeutic temperature range was maintained for the 10 minute testing time. The temperatures versus time measurements were conducted on 3 subjects at 2 physical locations, i.e., shoulder, neck, knee or lower back areas. On an average, the pre-exposed topical skin temperature ranged from 30 to 32 degrees centigrade. The topical temperature during exposure following brief stabilization time ranged from 41 to 43 degrees centigrade. These data demonstrate the System meets the generally accepted topical temperature range for therapeutic heat of 40 - 45 degrees centigrade during the recommended treatment time of 10 minutes.
