Indications for Use
The Quantum Light Therapy System is a non-heating lamp, infrared as described under the provisions of 21 CFR §890.5500 and is indicated for: - A- Adjunctive use in providing temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder paint of musculoskeletal origin using the QS-2; QS-4; and/or the QS-L applicator heads.
Device Story
Quantum Light Therapy System is a hand-held, battery-operated, non-invasive pain therapy device. It utilizes interchangeable applicator heads containing laser diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to deliver non-heating, visible photonic energy to tissue. The system is operated by a clinician to provide therapeutic light treatment. The device transforms electrical power into specific wavelengths of light (609-645nm range) to provide temporary relief of minor chronic musculoskeletal pain. The system is compact and portable. Clinical benefit is derived from the application of light therapy to the affected area, consistent with established therapeutic regimens for similar light therapy systems. The device is intended for adjunctive use in pain management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device underwent functional performance, software, firmware, electrical safety, and component specification testing conducted by an independent laboratory. Compliance with standards including FCC 47CFR Part 15B, IEC 60825-1, IEC 60601-2-22, and IEC 60601-1-2 was verified.
Technological Characteristics
Hand-held, battery-operated control unit with interchangeable applicator heads. Emits light via laser diodes and LEDs. Wavelengths: 609-645nm. Laser output: <5mW (Class IIIa). LED output: non-coherent diffuse light. Standards: FCC 47CFR Part 15B, UL approved components, 21CFR Part 1040 (Class IIIa laser), IEC 60825-1, IEC 60601-2-22, IEC 60601-1-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adjunctive use in providing temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain of musculoskeletal origin in patients.
Regulatory Classification
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.

### IV. Predicate Device/Substantial Equivalency
The Quantum Light Therapy System is substantially equivalent to other pulsed low level therapeutic lasers and light therapy systems currently in commercial distribution. The Quantum Light Therapy System has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics to predicate devices. It combines the clinically accepted therapeutic uses of previously FDA 510(k) approved light therapy systems currently in commercial distribution into one complete, compact, and cost-effective system.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The technological equivalence to the predicate devices is substantiated by the wavelengths and power outputs generated by the individual Quantum System applicator heads. Depending on the applicator head chosen by the clinician, the Quantum System will provide the same treatment benefits and regimens for conditions already approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The predicate devices the Quantum System establishes equivalence to include the following:
| Predicate Device | 510(k) # | Manufacturer |

### V. Intended Use of the Device
The Quantum Light Therapy System is a non-heating lamp, infrared as described under the provisions of 21 CFR §890.5500 and is indicated for:
- A- Adjunctive use in providing temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder paint of musculoskeletal origin using the QS-2; QS-4; and/or the QS-L applicator heads.
### VI. Description of the Device
The Quantum Light Therapy System is a hand-held, non-invasive, pain therapy system which utilizes non-heating lamps consisting of both laser and light emitting diodes(LED) in three optional applicator heads. It combines the clinically accepted therapentic treatment of numerous predicate light therapy callor itsacs: It commercial distribution and 510(k) approved into one complete, compact, and costeffective system.
The system consists of a basic hand-held, battery operated control unit and three optional (one-LED; two-laser) and interchangeable applicator heads which can only be used with the Quantum Light Therapy System control unit.
The three distinct applicator heads produce wavelengths that range between 609-645mm which falls within the spectrum as defined by 21 CFR §890.5500.
{2}------------------------------------------------
The two laser applicator heads produce an output power of <Smw prom-convergent beam and I he two laser apprication neads produced wavelength of 635mm 11% and ontinued of themse are classified as Class IIIa lastis. Bour operate and included on tortly in 21CFR Part 1040. Stargeton tional, Inc. has filed as a registered laser manufacturer with the Food and Drug Administration.
The distinct LED applicator head produces a non coherent diffuse light source. This applicator head operates at a measured wavelength of 628mm ±3%.
