It provides therapeutic heat to the lumbar region to alleviate pain and stiffness and increase local circulation. The device is intended for over-the-counter use by patients. It functions by emitting far infrared radiation to warm the skin and underlying tissues. Clinical benefit is derived from the application of heat to the affected area, promoting muscular relaxation and temporary pain relief. The device is a simple heating apparatus without complex electronic processing or software. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Skin temperature testing was performed to demonstrate that the device provides therapeutic heat during the treatment cycle. ## Technological Characteristics Far infrared heating device integrated into a back support belt. Operates as a thermal therapy system. No software or complex algorithms. ## Regulatory Identification An infrared lamp is a device intended for medical purposes that emits energy at infrared frequencies (approximately 700 nanometers to 50,000 nanometers) to provide topical heating. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an infrared therapeutic heating lamp, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 890.9. ## Predicate Devices - Thermotex Platimun Heat Therapy System ([K092589](/device/K092589.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
