Intended Use
Applied BioPhotonics® Phototherapy System ABPT1003 is intended to provide phototherapeutic light to the body. The device emits: - Red and infrared light to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature; for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis, sprains, strains, and muscle spasm, as well as back, neck and shoulder pain; relieving stiffness; promoting the relaxation of muscle tissue; and to temporarily increase local blood circulation where applied.
Device Description
The Applied BioPhotonics® Phototherapy System ABPT1003 is a light therapy device using specific wavelengths of polychromatic energy produced by super-luminous light emitting diodes (LEDs) to treat a variety of skin and body conditions. The device can be described as a Class II Low Level Light treatment process employing the application of light and heat, which penetrates the skin surface to the underlying tissues, triggering normal cellular functions. This technology is commonly referred to as photobiostimulation, light emitting diode therapy (LEDT), LLLT, or LED's. The application of LED's to tissue is non-invasive. Using patent pending and proprietary techniques and computational processes, the Applied BioPhotonics® Phototherapy System ABPT1003 is composed of: - Proprietary hardware (i.e. ABLM1002 LightMachine) - LightOS software (running in the LightMachine) - LightPad sets (ABLP103) comprising flexible, aseptic, polymeric LED pads - Cables (for connecting LightPads and LightMachines) The IR and red spectrum emitted from LEDs in the ABLP103 LightPad sets is intended to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature; for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis, sprains, strains, and muscle spasm, as well as back, neck and shoulder pain; relieving stiffness; promoting the relaxation of muscle tissue; and to temporarily increase local blood circulation where applied. The LightMachine control panel displays to the operator what treatment is being performed and provides the user with a choice of driving one or two LightPad sets with any chosen treatment protocol. The software component of the device controls the user's selection of specific treatment protocols on the LightMachine's control panel. The treatment may be set manually by entering LED-operating conditions (i.e. wavelength, duration, and pulse frequency) or by selecting preset treatment protocols. The software is revision-controlled and can be upgraded by the manufacturer. This is a prescription use only device. The labeling, instructions and user operations are designed for health care professionals.
More Information

No
The summary describes a light therapy device with software for controlling treatment protocols, but there is no mention of AI or ML capabilities for analysis, decision-making, or adaptation. The "computational processes" mentioned appear to relate to controlling the LED operation and user interface, not AI/ML algorithms.

Yes
The device is described as a "Phototherapy System" intended to provide "phototherapeutic light to the body" for various medical conditions like pain relief, increasing local blood circulation, and promoting muscle relaxation, which are all therapeutic purposes.

No

The device is described as a "Phototherapy System" intended to provide "phototherapeutic light to the body" for treatment purposes (e.g., pain relief, increasing circulation), not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is composed of proprietary hardware (ABLM1002 LightMachine), LightPad sets (ABLP103) comprising flexible, aseptic, polymeric LED pads, and cables, in addition to the LightOS software. This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for providing phototherapeutic light to the body for topical heating and temporary relief of various musculoskeletal pains and stiffness. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a light therapy device that applies light and heat to the body to trigger cellular functions. This is consistent with a therapeutic device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information about a patient's health status or condition based on such analysis. IVDs are designed for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, the Applied BioPhotonics® Phototherapy System ABPT1003 is a therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
