Intended Use
The Orthosonics Duo-Son Ultrasound Diathermy Device is intended to apply ultrasonic energy to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.
Device Description
The Orthosonics Duo-Son Ultrasound Diathermy Device consists of a two-channel power module which generates the ultrasonic energy and provides overall control of the device, and a handpiece with cable. The applicator design allows the simultaneous delivery of ultrasonic energy to tissue at two frequencies, 1 MHz and 45 kHz.
More Information

No
The summary describes a device that generates ultrasonic energy for therapeutic heating and does not mention any AI/ML components or functions.

Yes
The device is described as treating "selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures," which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as an Ultrasound Diathermy Device intended to apply ultrasonic energy to generate deep heat for treatment, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "two-channel power module" and a "handpiece with cable," which are hardware components. The performance studies also focus on hardware-related testing like electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and temperature rise.

Based on the provided information, the Orthosonics Duo-Son Ultrasound Diathermy Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to apply ultrasonic energy to generate deep heat within body tissues for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, muscle spasms, joint contractures). This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device generates and delivers energy to the body. It does not analyze samples of human origin (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body, which is the core function of an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of diseases or conditions through in vitro testing, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVDs.

Therefore, the Orthosonics Duo-Son Ultrasound Diathermy Device is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Orthosonics carried out testing to address the following issues:

  • (1) electrical safety,
  • (2) electromagnetic compatibility,
  • (3) temperature rise in a phantom during Duo-Son procedures, and
  • (4) temperature rise in a phantom using the predicate device, and

§ 890.5300 Ultrasonic diathermy.

(a)
Ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions is a device that applies to specific areas of the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses except for the treatment of malignancies is a device that applies to the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended for the treatment of medical conditions by means other than the generation of deep heat within body tissues as described in paragraph (a) of this section.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP for a device described in paragraph (b) of this section is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before July 13, 1999, for any ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before July 13, 1999, been found to be substantially equivalent to an ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES A.

The Orthosonics Duo-Son Ultrasound Diathermy Device is substantially equivalent to the Mettler Model ME-720 (K883228).

DEVICE DESCRIPTION B. ... .......................................................................................................................................................................

The Orthosonics Duo-Son Ultrasound Diathermy Device consists of a two-channel power module which generates the ultrasonic energy and provides overall control of the device, and a handpiece with cable. The applicator design allows the simultaneous delivery of ultrasonic energy to tissue at two frequencies, 1 MHz and 45 kHz.

C. INTENDED USE

The Orthosonics Duo-Son Ultrasound Diathermy Device is intended to apply ultrasonic energy to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.

D. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The technological characteristics of the Duo-Son device are the same as those of the predicate devices.

E. TESTING

P

Orthosonics carried out testing to address the following issues:

  • (1) electrical safety,
  • (2) electromagnetic compatibility,
  • (3) temperature rise in a phantom during Duo-Son procedures,
  • (4) temperature rise in a phantom using the predicate device, and
  • compliance with 21 CFR 1050. (5)

The results from all of these tests supported the safety and effectiveness the Orthosonics Duo-Son Ultrasonic Diathermy Device and of demonstrate that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

ட் CONCLUSIONS

The Orthosonics Duo-Son device has the same intended use and target population as the predicate devices. Orthosonics has demonstrated through its performance tests on the Duo-Son device and its comparison of Duo-Son characteristics with those of the predicate device that the Duo-Son device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
