Intended Use
The Certi*Cool Instant Cold Compress is a self contained disposable unit that provides temporary cold therapy for body surfaces.
Device Description
The Certi*Cool Instant Cold Compress is a self contained disposable unit that provides temporary cold therapy for body surfaces. Each unit is labeled with instructions for use as well as specific warning statements. Our product consists of an inner plastic pouch containing a green-colored water and an outer pouch containing ammonium nitrate. To activate the product, simply rupture the inner pouch by using an external force, such as a fist. Then, as the two ingredients mix, a chemical reaction results by producing temperatures below 40°F for a minimum of 15 minutes. These are single use devices.
More Information

No
The device description details a chemical reaction for cold therapy and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as providing "temporary cold therapy for body surfaces," which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat a condition (e.g., swelling, pain) through physical means (cold therapy).

No
Explanation: The device provides temporary cold therapy for body surfaces and is not used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "self contained disposable unit" consisting of physical components (inner and outer pouches, water, ammonium nitrate) that undergo a chemical reaction. This is a hardware-based device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Certi*Cool Function: The Certi*Cool Instant Cold Compress is a physical therapy device that applies cold to the body surface. It does not analyze any biological specimens.

The description clearly states its purpose is "temporary cold therapy for body surfaces" and describes a chemical reaction that produces cold. This aligns with a physical therapy or general medical device, not an IVD.
