Intended Use
The RFG-01 is intended to: - provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation. - provide, with a massage device, a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
Device Description
The RFG-01 is a mobile standalone equipment with four wheels and consists of a console (main unit), a color display with touch operation and three handpieces (small, medium, and large). The device develops localized heat to warm the subcutaneous tissue by means of radio frequency energy, delivered through electrodes in contact with the patient. The purpose of the treatment based on the radiofrequency system is to raise the temperature inside the tissues up to maximum of 45°C. Therefore, depending on the treatment and intended use, different parts of the body can be treated. The devices use RF electrodes of the resistive (or bipolar) types. Resistive RF electrodes have different sizes and plug into an RF handpiece that provides connection to the RF generator (through the electrode connectors). Handpieces of different shapes are available to facilitate use by the operator on different body parts. The use of different sizes allows efficient and effective treatment of various parts of the body. Two of the three handpieces can be used with or without vacuum, allowing an even deeper application of heat. The handpieces are to be used with a small amount of contact lotion, the purpose of which is to assist in heat transfer. The LEDs on every handpiece indicate the coupling and the correct temperature range during the treatment. The color touchscreen displays all treatment-related parameters.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical components, energy delivery mechanism (radio frequency), and basic control parameters (temperature, vacuum). There is no mention of algorithms that learn or adapt based on data, image processing for analysis, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as intended to elevate tissue temperature for the treatment of various medical conditions, including temporary relief of pain and muscle spasms, and to increase local circulation. It also temporarily reduces the appearance of cellulite with a massage device. These are therapeutic applications.

No

The device is intended for therapeutic purposes (topical heating for pain relief, muscle spasms, circulation, and cellulite reduction), not for diagnostic purposes of identifying or confirming a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a console, display, handpieces, electrodes, and an RF generator, indicating it is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the RFG-01 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for topical heating to treat medical conditions and reduce the appearance of cellulite. This involves direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a device that applies radio frequency energy to the patient's tissues through electrodes in contact with the skin. This is an external, non-invasive treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples to provide diagnostic information. The RFG-01's function is to deliver energy to the body for therapeutic effects.
