Intended Use
Extentrac provides traction, for the relief of a variety of conditions involving anatomical dysfunctions of the lumbar spine including: localized low back pain, peripheral radiation (radicular pain), protruding or herniated intervertebral discs, acute facet problems, degenerative disc disease.
Device Description
Extentrac falls under the classification of a multipurpose physical therapy table whose components are constructed of welded, bolted, tubular (solid and hollow), or flat plate heavy gauge steel and high strength aluminum), plywood, vinyl, hydraulic cylinders, pump, motor, wires, solenoid valves, relays, and switches. EXTENTRAC has two major sections connected to each other through a pivot shaft arrangement: 1. A rectangular base platform (Bottom Section): - Its function is to support and provide the pivot means for the rotating top section. Extentrac's stationary patient foot platform, is integral with this base platform, and therefore does not rotate with the patient. It also provides the telescoping means enabling elevation of the top patient platform section (rotating/tilting assembly), to effect height accommodations and different treatment protocols. 2. Rotating/tilting patient platform (Top Section): - It consists of three individual, separated patient support cushions, mounted to a metal support sub-frame, through a pivot connection with the top end of the weighted base platform. The patient support sub-frame (immediately below patient cushions) has the upper 2/3th. of its length angled in a backwards direction. and at 30 degrees in relation to its lower 1/3th. This arrangement allows the upper torso support cushion to move downward 30 degrees. Extentrac's patient platform is designed to rotate about this pivot point.

The device provides traction for the relief of various conditions involving anatomical dysfunctions of the lumbar spine, which are therapeutic indications. Its description as a "multipurpose physical therapy table" further supports its therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is described as a multipurpose physical therapy table that provides traction for the relief of conditions involving the lumbar spine. Its function is treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly lists numerous hardware components such as steel, aluminum, plywood, hydraulic cylinders, pump, motor, wires, solenoid valves, relays, and switches, indicating it is a physical therapy table with mechanical and electrical parts, 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 is for providing traction to the lumbar spine for the relief of various conditions. This is a physical therapy treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a physical therapy table with mechanical components for providing traction. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Extentrac device is a therapeutic device used for physical therapy, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

EXTENTRAC'S INTENDED USE IS TRACTION.

EXTENTRAC, has the same intended medical use, "traction", as its comparable predicate device (Auto-Trac) by Chattanooga Corp. where reference to its intended use was elucidated on page 122, and 123, of Dr. Natchev's book entitled "A Manual On Auto-Traction Treatment For Low Back Pain".

*Extentrac's and Auto-Trac's principle intended use is traction, through active pulling by the patients own power called active traction, or total passive traction using "gravity". However, both devices by similar design characteristics, enable a patient to activate table control biofeedback, and/or patient relaxation without necessarily requiring traction. This was elucidated on page 122 , of Dr. Natchev's book entitled "A Manual On Auto-Traction Treatment For Low Back Pain", as referred to above.

Extentrac provides traction, for the relief of a variety of conditions involving anatomical dysfunctions of the lumbar spine including :

  • localized low back pain
  • peripheral radiation (radicular pain)

DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE

Extentrac falls under the classification of a multipurpose physical therapy table whose components are constructed of welded, bolted, tubular (solid and hollow), or flat plate heavy gauge steel and high strength aluminum), plywood, vinyl, hydraulic cylinders, pump, motor, wires, solenoid valves, relays, and switches.

EXTENTRAC has two major sections connected to each other through a pivot shaft arrangement:

  1. A rectangular base platform (Bottom Section): - Its function is to support and provide the pivot means for the rotating top section. Extentrac's stationary patient foot platform, is integral with this base platform, and therefore does not rotate with the patient. It also provides the telescoping means enabling elevation of the top patient platform section (rotating/tilting assembly), to effect height accommodations and different treatment protocols. Please refer to Section 2, Page 2-16.

  2. Rotating/tilting patient platform (Top Section): - It consists of three individual, separated patient support cushions, mounted to a metal support sub-frame, through a pivot connection with the top end of the weighted base platform. The patient support sub-frame (immediately below patient cushions) has the upper 2/3th. of its length angled in a backwards direction. and at 30 degrees in relation to its lower 1/3th. This arrangement allows the upper torso support cushion to move downward 30 degrees. Extentrac's patient platform is designed to rotate about this pivot point . Please refer to Section 2. Page 2-16.

FUNCTIONAL ELEMENTS

  • Underarm/shoulder supports with integral hand grips. This is the . preferred arrangement for safe patient support. This comfortably supports the patient's upper torso while preventing outward and downward movement of the patient. The hand grips are an integral part of the upper arm supports, providing secure attachment of patient to the patient platform during treatment, and are the places of attachment of the emergency table stop switch. They are also the location of the auxiliary patient table rotation and lumbar support switches. These underarm and shoulder supports are to be used in combination with either the abdominal strapping (Extentrac's "seat belt"), or the universal thoracic harness. They provide increased safe patient positioning as compared to the Auto-Trac device method of patient securing. Please see Section 6, page 6-4, in which the patient must rely only on strapping methods. With the use of these new underarm/shoulder supports, a metal support "cage" has essentially been added, physically preventing patient outward and downward movement. Please refer to Section 2-page 2-16, Letter(s) A.
  • Upper torso (thoracic) support cushion. Manually moved, i.e. by pivoting at . its bottom support, its top section locks into a desired position. Adjustable in a backwards direction up to 30 degrees. Upper torso support is capable of locking into any of these variable degrees. Please see Section 2- page 2-16, Letter B.
  • Lumbar back support pad (convex shaped). Adjustable (extends or re-. tracts) by either keypad activation or auxiliary patient activated. Provides increased ergonomic support, and varying degrees of extension of the lower back. Please refer to the section entitled : Scientific Concepts of Device: Please see Section 2- page 2-16, Letter C.
  • Separate calf/ankle support. Adjustable manually up or down vertically , to ● accommodate different anatomical relationships. Adjustable through keypad switch. outward, away from table's plane, or back in the same plane as vertical table frame. Provides ability to retain patient's upper torso in the same plane as lower limbs or torso. Please see Section 2- page 2-16, Letter D.
  • Table Lift Functional Unit. Contained in the rectangular base platform. Allows . entire patient platform with all functional elements to be raised or lowered. Please refer to Section 2- page 2-16, Letter E., and Section 6- page 6-6, Letter E.

  • Overhead transverse horizontal gripping bar. Please see Section 2, page . 2-16, Letter F.
  • Protractor devices. (Digital or analogue, which measures patient support frame . degree of rotation.) Please refer to Section 2- Page 2-16, Letter G.
  • Hydraulic cvlinder Table movement. All Electric and software, hydraulic . pump and motor, solenoid valves , are housed in protective sheet metal electrical box. (UL Listed) Please refer to Section 2- Page 2-16, Letter H.
  • Side platform railings located on Horizontal weighted base. Please refer ● to Section 2- Page 2-16, Letter I.
  • Head support cushions/rolls in various sizes. Please refer to Section 2- Page . 2-16, Letter J.

ANTICIPATED FUTURE DESIGN ADDITIONS/ CHANGES :

  • 1- Ankle/foot strapping means. Provides increased traction effect in the "active patient " protocol procedure in which the patient uses their arms to "self" pull against additional resistance provided by ankle strapping. Selective attachments to either both the weighted foot bottom platform base and/or the ankle and calf support element.
  • 2- Ankle/foot Weights. Provides increased traction effect.
  • 3- Thomson AccuGlide T Series Linear Ball Guides to substitute for Arm and Shoulder support roller means used for Arm and Shoulder support Translational movement, i.e. arm height movement.

TABLE ACTIVATION/CONTROL

PRACTITIONER CONTROLLED , HAND HELD KEYPAD WITH FUNCTION CONTROL SWITCHES PROVIDE MOVEMENT OF TABLE ELEMENTS

(Main keypad location) Please refer to Section 6- Page 6-6, Letter K. .

1. INDIVIDUAL KEYPAD FUNCTION CONTROL SWITCHES. (Main keypad location)

DESCRIPTION OF SWITCHES

  • 1- Lift table/patient platform raises vertically and descends downward.
  • 2- Rotation button table/patient platform rotates backwards, and forwards.
  • 3- Arm rotate up safety arm pieces rotate up or down.
  • 4- Arm vertical translation safety arm supports move up or down along long axis of patient platform.
  • 5- Lumbar support Lumbar support extends outward, or re-tracts.
  • 6- Leg/calf support Leg /calf cushion moves outward or inward. Allows planar arrangement of entire patient platform.

2.- COMBINED FUNCTION SWITCHES

(Main keypad location)

Extentrac also has two keypad control switches which simultaneously combine two individual table functions. (Main keypad location)

DESCRIPTION OF SWITCHES

  • 1- LIFT AND ROTATE SWITCH A separate key pad combination function button. Patient platform raises in height, creating an increase in height of vertical platform. (a gain in vertical height) simultaneously in combination with patient platform backwards rotation. Calf/leg pad does not accompany rotation. Has reverse function.
  • 2- ROTATION AND LEG/CALF SWITCH A separate keypad combination function button. Patient platform rotation in a backwards direction, simultaneously with leg/ calf support outward movement. (Maintains planar pad arrangement). Has reverse function.

BASIC TABLE OPERATION (HOW IT WORKS)

Extentrac has three individual patient platform sections which are variably positioned by the activation of selected hydraulic cylinders, through continuos depression of two pole "toggle" type switches making up the hand held practitioner control keypad. This turns the hydraulic pump motor on, which forces hydraulic fluid into the selected cylinders, which in turn causes table rotation or movement of any other table functional units movement. Hydraulic activated movement stops immediately, by release of a keypad control switch. Micro-switches and mechanical stops provide protection at extremes of table movement. When the keypad button labeled "Table Rotation" is depressed and held, the patients are moved from the vertical to the horizontal.
