Intended Use
The InCare HOT/ICE Lite Machine is intended to provide cold therapy to body surfaces by pumping and circulating chilled water through a plastic blanket that has been secured to the patient's anatomy.
Device Description
The InCare HOT/ICE Lite Machine incorporates state of the art technology with solid state electronics. The device is designed to deliver cold therapy to a localized area. This is accomplished by circulating cold water through a plastic blanket or bag that has been secured to the patient's anatomy. The device is intended to be used in an institution or home environment.
More Information

No
The summary describes a device for cold therapy using circulating water and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended to provide cold therapy to body surfaces and is evaluated for its ability to cool the test subject's skin, which are therapeutic functions.

No
Explanation: The device is described as providing cold therapy for treatment purposes, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It circulates chilled water to reduce skin temperature.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "solid state electronics" and the mechanism of action involves pumping and circulating chilled water through a plastic blanket, indicating a hardware component is essential to its function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide cold therapy to body surfaces by circulating chilled water through a blanket secured to the patient's anatomy. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanism of delivering cold therapy to the patient's body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not perform any such function.
