Intended Use
The Phoenix Thera-Lase System is intended to emit 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 minor arthritis, promoting relaxation of muscle tissue, and to temporarily increase local blood circulation.
Device Description
The Phoenix Thera-Lase System is a stand-alone, solid-state class IV laser system specifically designed to provide efficient, high-power laser output with air-cooling and an output wavelength of 1060 nm. The laser output provides a 0.75-1.88 inch diameter spot to provide non-contact laser output to patients. The laser system has three different operation modes: Continuous wave, Single, and Repeat mode. The Laser system consists of three main components: Laser Diode Module, Remote Controller, and Fiber Optic delivery cable with hand piece. The Laser Diode Module contains the power supply system and the laser diode. The Remote Controller controls the laser module through a touch screen activated control panel. The Fiber Optic delivery cable is connected to the Laser Diode Module to provide a route for administration of the laser output.

No
The description focuses on the hardware components and basic operational modes of a laser system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for data analysis, decision-making, or adaptive control.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended to provide "temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm, pain and stiffness associated with minor arthritis, promoting relaxation of muscle tissue, and to temporarily increase local blood circulation," which are therapeutic purposes.

No
The device description and intended use indicate that it is a therapeutic device for pain relief, not a diagnostic device that identifies or characterizes a disease or condition. It emits energy, rather than receiving or processing signals from the body for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a laser diode module, remote controller, and fiber optic delivery cable with hand piece, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Phoenix Thera-Lase System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to emit energy for topical heating to provide temporary relief of pain, muscle spasm, stiffness, promote muscle relaxation, and increase local blood circulation. These are all therapeutic applications performed on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system that delivers energy externally to the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body. The Phoenix Thera-Lase System is a therapeutic device that applies energy directly to the patient.

Summary of Performance Studies

Testing was performed which demonstrates that the device is safe and effective, performs comparably to the predicate device(s), and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s). Tests included verification/validation testing to internal functional specifications (including software), and non-clinical skin temperature evaluations. Documentation was provided demonstrating compliance of the Phoenix Thera-Lase System to all FDA requirements stated in Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices, including results of verification/validation plus traceability of verification/validation tests to software requirements and software risk hazards.

In addition, the Phoenix Thera-Lase System was subjected to independent laboratory testing for both electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Test results demonstrate that the device complies with all applicable requirements for medical device electrical safety and EMC, including the following:

  • FDA recognized medical device electrical safety consensus standard . AAMI / ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 And C1:2009/(R)2012 And, A2:2010/(R)2012 Medical Electrical Equipment -- Part 1: General Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance, and
  • FDA recognized medical device EMC consensus standard IEC . 60601-1-2 Edition 3: 2007-03 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-2: General Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility -Requirements And Tests.

In accordance with the FDA guidance document Guidance Document for the Preparation of Premarket Notification [510(k)] Applications for Heating and Cooling Device, the temperature range at the skin surface where the device is applied has been evaluated and the results included within this submission.

These verification/validation activities successfully demonstrate that the Phoenix Thera-Lase System correctly performs as designed, has been validated for its intended use, and raises no new questions regarding either safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate device(s). Therefore, the verification/validation testing conducted supports a determination of substantial equivalence for the Phoenix Thera-Lase System.
