The document describes a radiofrequency device with a massaging head for tissue heating and cellulite reduction. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms for decision-making or analysis.
Yes
The device is intended to provide temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation, which are therapeutic claims. It also uses radiofrequency to produce heating for the elevation of tissue temperature, a common therapeutic modality.
No
The device is intended to provide temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase local circulation through heating tissue temperature, and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite through massage. These are therapeutic, rather than diagnostic, purposes.
No
The device description clearly states it is a hand-held RF probe with an integrated massaging head, activated by a footswitch, and used with an RF generator. It lists multiple hardware components including the handpiece, RF generator, neutral plate, and cables. This is a hardware-based medical device.
Based on the provided information, the PelleFirm RF device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses described are for providing heating for medical conditions (pain relief, muscle spasms, increased circulation) and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. These are therapeutic and aesthetic applications, not diagnostic tests performed on samples taken from the human body.
- Device Description: The device is a hand-held RF probe that applies energy to the body externally. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The PelleFirm RF device does not fit this definition.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PelleFirm RF component is intended use is to generate deep heat within the body tissues for selected medical conditions such as the temporary relief of minor aches and pain, muscle spasms. and an increase in local circulation. The PelleFirm massage component is also intended to provide temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
The PelleFirm RF device is intended to provide heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for selected medical conditions such as temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation.
The PelleFirm massage device is intended to provide a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

Device Description
The device is a hand-held RF probe with integrated massaging head. The device is activated using a footswitch and is used with the Ellman radiofrequency generators. The radiofrequency generator operates at 4 mHz and is used in the pure sinewave ("CUT") mode to produce heating for the elevation of tissue temperature.
The PelleFirm System consists of the PelleFirm handpiece, RF generator, neutral plate, Gel, Footswitch, and associated cables and cords. The handpiece contains a large monopolar electrode to provide tissue heating. A massaging head surrounds the handpiece electrode and provides mechanical stimulation to the tissue to reduce the appearance of cellulite. A cable connects the handpiece to the RF generator.
