Yes.
The device is intended for "temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains" and "temporary increase of blood circulation," which are therapeutic purposes for addressing symptoms and improving physiological function.
No
The device is an over-the-counter portable inflatable tube massage system intended for temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains and to temporarily increase blood circulation, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components including an air pump unit, inflatable pressure cuffs, a plastic case housing components, an ON/OFF button, LED indicators/displays, and a port for a battery charger. While it mentions "system software," the core functionality relies on these physical components.
Based on the provided information, the PlasmaFlight is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- PlasmaFlight's Function: The PlasmaFlight is a physical device that applies external pressure to the body using inflatable cuffs. Its intended use is to temporarily increase blood circulation and relieve muscle aches and pains through physical massage. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
The description clearly indicates a physical therapy/massage device, not a device for analyzing samples outside the body.

Device Description
The PlasmaFlight is a portable and rechargeable device. It is intended to be an over-the-counter portable inflatable tube massage system which simulates kneading and stroking of tissue with the hands by use of inflatable pressure cuffs. It can be used to temporarily increase blood circulation and temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and pains.
The PlasmaFlight, supplied clean and non-sterile, utilizes the pneumatically controlled air bladder cuff actuated by an electronically controlled air pump unit. All pump, battery and control components are protectively housed in a plastic case of the control unit that is permanently attached to an inflatable cuff. An ON/OFF button and LED indicators/displays provide for user interface. There is also a port for connecting the battery charger/AC adapter plug. The cuff component consists of an air bladder encased inside a soft medical fabric or equivalent medical material for increased patient comfort and biocompatibility compliance.
In operation, the user simply turns the power on via the ON/OFF button. A cuff containing the air bladder is permanently connected to the control unit. And the control unit then inflates the cuff to the default predetermined pressure (55 mmHg). The cuff pressure is monitored by an internal pressure switch and system software. Once the cuff pressure of the air bladder reaches the proper level, the pump is turned off for a rest period, and the cuff deflates to the ambient pressure through a valve inside the plastic case. After the rest period, the cycle of inflation and deflation repeats until the unit is turned off.

All pump, battery and control components are protectively housed in a plastic case of the control unit that is permanently attached to an inflatable cuff. An ON/OFF button and LED indicators/displays provide for user interface. There is also a port for connecting the battery charger/AC adapter plug. The cuff component consists of an air bladder encased inside a soft medical fabric or equivalent medical material for increased patient comfort and biocompatibility compliance.
In operation, the user simply turns the power on via the ON/OFF button. A cuff containing the air bladder is permanently connected to the control unit. And the control unit then inflates the cuff to the default predetermined pressure (55 mmHg). The cuff pressure is monitored by an internal pressure switch and system software. Once the cuff pressure of the air bladder reaches the proper level, the pump is turned
