Intended Use
810 nm and 980nm wavelength: LiteCure Therapy System, Model L TS-1500 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. 980nm wavelength: LiteCure Therapy System, Model L TS-1500 is indicated for use for the temporary increase of clear nail in patients with onychomycosis (e.g., dermatophytes Trichophyton rubrum and Tmentagrophytes, and/or yeasts Candida albicans, etc.).

No
The provided 510(k) summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses on the device's wavelengths and intended therapeutic uses.

Yes
The device is indicated for therapeutic purposes such as temporary relief of pain (muscle, joint, arthritis), muscle relaxation, increasing local blood circulation, and temporary increase of clear nail in patients with onychomycosis, all of which aim to treat or alleviate medical conditions.

No
The device's intended use is to provide temporary relief of pain and stiffness, promote muscle relaxation, increase local blood circulation, and increase clear nail, which are all therapeutic purposes, not diagnostic ones.

No

The intended use describes a "LiteCure Therapy System, Model L TS-1500" which emits energy in the infrared spectrum. This strongly suggests a hardware device that delivers light therapy, not a software-only device. The lack of a device description further supports this interpretation as software-only devices typically have detailed software descriptions.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as providing topical heating for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, muscle relaxation, increased blood circulation, and temporary increase of clear nail). This involves applying energy to the body, not analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: While the device description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • No mention of in vitro analysis: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to apply energy to the body for therapeutic effects.

Dear Mr. Lu:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 29, 2013.

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. Iisting 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.
