Intended Use
LiteCure Therapy Compact (Model LTC-900 and LTC-1200) is indicated for emitting energy in the infrared Spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm, pain and stiffness associated with arthritis and promoting relaxation of the muscle tissue and to temporarily increase local blood circulation.

No
The provided 510(k) summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The intended use and device description (though not found) point towards a therapeutic device using infrared energy for heating.

Yes
The device is indicated for providing temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm, pain and stiffness associated with arthritis, promoting relaxation of the muscle tissue, and temporarily increasing local blood circulation, which are all therapeutic purposes.

No
The device is indicated for providing temporary relief of pain and stiffness and promoting relaxation of muscle tissue. This describes a therapeutic, not a diagnostic, function.

No

The intended use describes a device that emits energy in the infrared spectrum for topical heating, which strongly suggests a hardware component (a laser or LED emitter). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, the LiteCure Therapy Compact (Model LTC-900 and LTC-1200) is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for emitting energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, muscle relaxation, increased blood circulation). This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for treatment.
  • Definition of IVD: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. They are used in vitro (outside the body).

The LiteCure Therapy Compact operates in vivo (within the body) and is used for therapeutic treatment, not for diagnostic testing of specimens.

Dear Liang Lu:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
