No
The summary describes a device that uses radiofrequency, electromagnetic stimulation, and mechanical massage. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section.
Yes
The device description explicitly states, "The BTL-499 is a non-invasive therapeutic device." Additionally, its intended uses include temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increased local circulation, which are therapeutic benefits.
No
The device is described as a "non-invasive therapeutic device" for lipolysis, reduction in circumference, temporary pain relief, muscle spasms, increased circulation, and temporary reduction in cellulite appearance. These are all therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a "main unit and applicators that deliver energy to the targeted tissue," and includes components like "RF, HV and massage generators," indicating it is a hardware device with software control.
Based on the provided information, the BTL-499 device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for various health issues.
- BTL-499 Function: The description clearly states that the BTL-499 is a non-invasive therapeutic device. It delivers energy to the targeted tissue externally for purposes like lipolysis, circumference reduction, pain relief, muscle spasms, increased local circulation, and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient. Its function is based on applying energy and massage to the body's surface.
Therefore, the BTL-499 falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The BTL-499 is a non-invasive therapeutic device is comprised of a main unit and applicators that deliver energy to the targeted tissue. The device's two outputs enable hands-free simultaneous treatment by two applicators.
The BTL-499 is equipped with a large color touch-screen that significantly facilitates the use of the device. The on-screen information guides the user step-by-step through the entire therapy procedure. The therapeutic parameters are easily set using the touch screen of the device. During the therapy, the device displays information about the applied therapy type, remaining therapy time and main therapy parameters on the screen.
The system console consists of the RF, HV and massage generators, computer, and a touch-screen control panel. The system combines bipolar radiofrequency with electromagnetic stimulation and mechanical massage. The device is accompanied by the following applicators: 499-AP-MRA-1, 499-AP-MR-2, 499-AP-MRA-4 & 499-AP-MRA-5

Dear David Chmel:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Substantial Equivalence
The BTL-499 device has the same intended use as its predicate devices. The technological characteristics of the predicate devices are similar to the BTL-499 device. Any differences between the predicate devices and BTL-499 have no significant influence on safety and effectiveness of the BTL-499 device. Therefore, the BTL-499 is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Conclusion
Based upon the intended use and known technical information provided in this pre-market notification, the BTL-499 device has been shown to be substantially equivalent to currently marketed predicate devices.
