Intended Use

Modpod cervical traction provides mobilization of skeletal structures and muscles in static, intermittent, progressive, and regressive distraction forces to relieve pressures that may be causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin. These effects are achieved through decompression of intervertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning, and may be used to relieve peripheral radiation/sciatica and pain associated with: • Protruding discs • Bulging discs • Herniated discs • Degenerative disc disease • Posterior facet syndrome • Acute facet problems • Radicular pain • Prolapsed discs • Spinal root impingement • Hypomobility • Degenerative joint disease • Facet syndrome • Compressions fracture • Joint pain • Discogenic pain

Device Description

The Modpod™ Cervical Traction Device provides static and intermittent distraction forces to the cervical spine to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin. Therapeutic distraction can be applied in a variety of programmable patterns and functions. The device design allows a clinician access to a patients head and neck when hands-on interaction and positioning is needed. Use of the device reduces the level of exertion experienced by the clinician when compared to manual traction therapy techniques. Additionally, hands-on interaction and positioning by the clinician may occur before or after treatment. Painted sheet metal and ABS plastic encasement housing electronic circuitry; software and electronics engage a gear driven motor with load sensors; slide mechanism, and patient head harness to apply cervical traction.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The description focuses on mechanical traction and programmable patterns, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is intended to provide therapeutic effects by relieving pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions through decompression and distraction forces.

Diagnostic

No
Explanation: A diagnostic device identifies or detects a medical condition. This device is a cervical traction device intended for therapeutic purposes (relieving pain and pressure), not for diagnosing conditions.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description explicitly mentions physical components like "Painted sheet metal and ABS plastic encasement housing electronic circuitry; software and electronics engage a gear driven motor with load sensors; slide mechanism, and patient head harness". This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

• IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
• Device Function: The Modpod cervical traction device is a physical therapy device that applies mechanical forces to the cervical spine on the patient's body. It does not analyze any biological samples.
• Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a physical therapy treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, not diagnostic testing of biological specimens.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Modpod cervical traction device falls under the category of a physical therapy or rehabilitation device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Legally marketed devices to which substantial equivalence is claimed:

The indications for use are substantially equivalent to the claimed predicate devices. Differences between indications for use do not affect safety or effectiveness when used as labeled and as intended. The intended patient population is adults of all ages.

The power supply is an off-the-shelf wall plug type that complies with the IEC 60601-1:2005 Ed.3 standard. The power supply steps down mains voltage to 12VDC and solely serves to charge the lithium ion batteries. The device operates exclusively from the batteries whether the power supply/battery charger is used or not used. The power supply/battery charger automatically switches 100-240VAC +/- 10%; 47-63Hz; 1 Phase; Current 0.9A @ 100VAC to accommodate most electric power service systems worldwide.

If the device is plugged into mains power and not in use the battery is constantly trickle charged. If the device is being used while plugged into mains power the electronic design allows any unused energy from mains power to charge the batteries. The device uses a charging IC to control and regulate charging of the batteries to ensure the batteries do not overcharge. If the device is operating solely on battery power (not plugged into mains power) no charging occurs. The battery voltage is monitored and the battery life status is displayed on the screen. Once the voltage is discharged to near the minimum voltage needed to run the charging IC; the device display screen shows an error and uses an audible tone to alert the clinician the battery needs to be plugged into mains power for charging.

A clinician interfaces with the device through a touch display screen. The electronics and software control the actuator. The device includes an electronic load cell calibrated during the manufacturing process. Subsequent calibration is not be required because the electronics tare/set the load cell to zero each time the device is turned on. Traction forces are administered by an electromechanical linear actuator with a brush-type DC motor. The device is intended for therapeutic care on an outpatient basis. Monitoring technology maintains the set traction force if a patient were to shift or move during a treatment. The actuator has the capability to operate at 12 Volts; the design requires only 4 volts to achieve the desired speed and to lessen the operating noise level. The design uses plastic gears in the actuator to reduce noise. There is no additional voltage generated above that of the batteries, and no components are operated outside their specified ratings. Additionally, the actuator has an internal encasement plus the device encases the actuator. Therefore, the plastic actuator gears are double encased for a high degree of noise reduction. Sound measured during operation of the device measured in the proximity of a patient's ear ranged from 26db to 56db when the actuator is in operation; to virtually no observable sound when the actuator reaches the treatment set point.

5

The treatment should only be administered under the presence of a doctor or therapist. The doctor or therapist should be present at all times and supervise the treatment carefully. Never leave the patient alone during the treatment. Use care on patients who do not tolerate supine positions, as they may not be good candidates for traction therapy. There are two types of head harnesses. One head harness has a chin strap; the other does not have a chin strap. The head harness without a chin strap may be chosen by a clinician for their patients who experience discomfort related to pressure sensitivity related to Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ).

The head halter comes in Cotton Duct Fabric and PVC Coated Polyester Fabric both with Velcro@ adjustment for ease of patient setup in the device cushions are made of I-Skin Polyurethane. The cushion set consists of a Shoulder Support Cushion and Head Support Cushions in 10°, 15° and 20°.

Conclusion:

The Modpod cervical traction device is as safe and effective, and performs as well or better than the claimed predicate devices.
