Intended Use
The Therapy Concepts Water Circulating Treatment System will be used to pump chilled or room temperature water through a plastic pad that is placed on a mattress underneath the user and in so doing, will provide cold temperature therapy intended to temporarily assist in the localized reduction of minor swelling and pain. Pre-chilled water will be provided by adding ice cubes and water to the reservoir. The cooling rate is adjusted by adjusting the rate of flow of the water through the plastic pad.
Device Description
The Therapy Concepts Water Circulating Treatment System will consist of five discreet modules. A reservoir module holding 1.5 liters of water. A low voltage DC pump with integral connection tubing. A wall mounted power supply to provide 7,5 volts DC to power the pump. A plastic/foam pad with connecting tubing, containing channels through which water is circulated and a form fitted sewn nylon carrying case.

No
The description details a simple water circulation system for cold therapy, with no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of data.

Yes
The device is intended to provide cold temperature therapy to temporarily assist in the localized reduction of minor swelling and pain, which are therapeutic effects.

No
This device is described as a "Water Circulating Treatment System" used to provide "cold temperature therapy intended to temporarily assist in the localized reduction of minor swelling and pain." It does not detect, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components: a reservoir module, a DC pump, a wall-mounted power supply, a plastic/foam pad, and a carrying case. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to provide cold temperature therapy by circulating water through a pad placed on a mattress. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the components of a system designed for circulating water for temperature therapy. There are no components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) which is the core function of an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: The document does not mention any aspects typically associated with IVDs, such as:
    • Analysis of biological samples
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Diagnostic purposes (identifying diseases, conditions, etc.)
    • Calibration or quality control procedures for diagnostic tests

The device is designed to provide a physical therapy (cold therapy) to the user, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Date of Preparation:October 29, 1996
Device Name:Therapy Concepts Water Circulating Treatment System
Classification Name:Pack, Hot or Cold Water, Circulating - 89 ILO
Manufacturer:Therapy Concepts, Inc. located at 11445 Moog Drive, St.
Louis, MO 63146 (314)
Predicate Device:HOT/ICE Cold Therapy Cooler System, catalog number
42000, manufactured and marketed by InCare Medical
Products, a division of Hollister Inc., 2000 Hollister Drive,
Libertyville, IL 60048.
Device Description:The Therapy Concepts Water Circulating Treatment
System will consist of five discreet modules. A reservoir
module holding 1.5 liters of water. A low voltage DC
pump with integral connection tubing. A wall mounted
power supply to provide 7,5 volts DC to power the pump.
A plastic/foam pad with connecting tubing, containing
channels through which water is circulated and a form
fitted sewn nylon carrying case.
Intended Use:The Therapy Concepts Water Circulating Treatment
System will be used to pump chilled or room temperature
water through a plastic pad that is placed on a mattress
underneath the user and in so doing, will provide cold
temperature therapy intended to temporarily assist in the
localized reduction of minor swelling and pain. Pre-chilled
water will be provided by adding ice cubes and water to
the reservoir. The cooling rate is adjusted by adjusting
the rate of flow of the water through the plastic pad.
Clinical and Non-Clinical
Similarities and Differences:The Therapy Concepts, Inc. Water Circulating Treatment
System and the InCare Medical Products, Inc. HOT/ICE
Cold Therapy Cooler System are substantially equivalent
since they both provide cold temperature therapy to
temporarily assist in the localized reduction of minor
swelling and pain.
