Indications for Use
Diathermy Component. Indications for Use: To generate deep heating within body tissues for the treatment of conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. Muscle Stimulator Component To increase local blood flow, muscle re-education, relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy, and immediate post surgical stimulation of calves to prevent deep vein thrombosis.
Device Story
SeliTherm C100 is a combination device featuring a shortwave diathermy component and a muscle stimulator component. Diathermy component generates deep tissue heating to treat pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. Muscle stimulator component provides electrical stimulation to increase local blood flow, facilitate muscle re-education, relax spasms, prevent disuse atrophy, and provide post-surgical calf stimulation for DVT prevention. Device is intended for clinical use by healthcare professionals. Output effects include thermal tissue modulation and neuromuscular electrical stimulation to support rehabilitation and post-operative recovery.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Combination device consisting of a shortwave diathermy unit (21 CFR 890.5290) and a muscle stimulator (21 CFR 890.5850). Product codes IMJ and IPF. Class II device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring deep tissue heating for pain relief, muscle spasms, or joint contractures, and patients requiring muscle stimulation for blood flow, re-education, spasm relaxation, atrophy prevention, or post-surgical DVT prophylaxis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A nonthermal shortwave therapy is a prescription device that applies to the body pulsed electromagnetic energy in the RF bands of 13.56 MHz or 27.12 MHz and that is intended for adjunctive use in the palliative treatment of postoperative pain and edema of soft tissue by means other than the generation of deep heat within body tissues as described in paragraph (a) of this section.
Special Controls
*Classification: Class II (special controls).* The device is classified as class II. The special controls for this device are:(i) Components of the device that come into human contact must be demonstrated to be biocompatible. (ii) Appropriate analysis/testing must demonstrate that the device is electrically safe and electromagnetically compatible in its intended use environment. (iii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use. Non-clinical performance testing must characterize the output waveform of the device and demonstrate that the device meets appropriate output performance specifications. The output characteristics and the methods used to determine these characteristics, including the following, must be determined: (A) Peak output power; (B) Pulse width; (C) Pulse frequency; (D) Duty cycle; (E) Characteristics of other types of modulation that may be used; (F) Average measured output powered into the RF antenna/applicator; (G) Specific absorption rates in saline gel test load or other appropriate model; (H) Characterization of the electrical and magnetic fields in saline gel test load or other appropriate model for each RF antenna and prescribed RF antenna orientation/position; and (I) Characterization of the deposited energy density in saline gel test load or other appropriate model. (iv) A detailed summary of the clinical testing pertinent to use of the device to demonstrate the effectiveness of the device in its intended use. (v) Labeling must include the following: (A) Output characteristics of the device; (B) Recommended treatment regimes, including duration of use; and (C) A detailed summary of the clinical testing pertinent to the use of the device and a summary of the adverse events and complications. (vi) Nonthermal shortwave therapy devices marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with these special controls.
