Device Story
Back-Tek is a far infrared heating device integrated into a back support belt. 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.
Indications for Use
Indicated for temporary relief of minor muscle/joint pain and stiffness, arthritis-related joint pain, muscle spasms, minor strains/sprains, minor muscular back pain, muscular relaxation, and temporary increase of local circulation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
