Device Description
Hollister Incorporated, through its InCare division, currently markets the HOT/ICE System which is intended to provide hot/cold therapy for body surfaces. The HOT/ICE System products operate by pumping heated or chilled water through a plastic blanket. The proposed devices consist of a connector/tubing that is an integral part of the plastic blanket where warm or cold water is circulated through and is intended to be used for the delivery of hot or cold therapy to the shoulder surface of the body. Detachable hook and loop securing straps allow for more flexibility in positioning the blanket onto the shoulder. The proposed HOT/ICE System Shoulder Blanket can be used with all of the circulating pumps within the InCare HOT/ICE System and is available as a sterile product.

No
The description focuses on a simple hot/cold therapy system using circulating water and a blanket, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes.
The device provides hot/cold therapy for body surfaces, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at alleviating pain, reducing swelling, or relaxing muscles.

No

Explanation: The device is described as providing hot/cold therapy for body surfaces, specifically the shoulder, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It does not identify or analyze diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "plastic blanket" with "connector/tubing" and "detachable hook and loop securing straps," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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 hot/cold therapy for body surfaces, specifically the shoulder. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device works by circulating heated or chilled water through a blanket applied to the body. This is a physical therapy method, not a method for examining specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the InCare HOT/ICE System Shoulder Blanket falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
