Intended Use

The AcuMed Laser is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, for the temporary relief of minor joint pain associated with arthritis, for the temporary increase in local circulation where applied and the relaxation of muscles.

Device Story

AcuMed Laser is a portable, hand-held, AC-operated infrared lamp. Device emits energy in infrared spectrum via infrared diodes to provide continuous topical heat therapy at a fixed frequency. Applied directly to skin. Used for temporary relief of minor muscle/joint pain, stiffness, arthritis pain, muscle relaxation, and increased local circulation. No complex processing or software involved.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Functional performance and electrical safety testing performed to demonstrate compliance with therapeutic heat specifications.

Technological Characteristics

Portable, hand-held infrared lamp; AC-operated; utilizes infrared diodes for heat generation; fixed frequency output; non-invasive; intended for direct skin contact.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring topical heating for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness, minor arthritis-associated joint pain, muscle relaxation, and temporary increase in local circulation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

- II. Device Name: Proprietary Name: AcuMed Laser Common/Usual Name: Infrared lamp Classification Name: Infrared lamp (21 CFR 890.555) Product Code ILY
- III. The AcuMed Laser System is substantially equivalent to other infrared lamps currently in commercial distribution such as the Thor IR Lamp System/ Super Nova/ Acubeam systems.

### IV. Intended use of the Device

The AcuMed Laser is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, for the temporary relief of minor joint pain associated with arthritis, for the temporary increase in local circulation where applied and the relaxation of muscles.

#### V. Description of Device

The AcuMed Laser is a portable, hand held, AC operated non-invasive, low level infrared lamp that provides continuous heat therapy at a fixed frequency.

- VI. Summary of the technical characteristics of the AcuMed The AcuMed and the aforementioned predicate devices are an infrared lamp as defined in 21 CFR 890.5500. These devices utilize infrared diodes to generate topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperatures for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm, the temporary increase in local circulation and the temporary relaxation of muscle. The systems are intended to be placed directly on the skin to provide heating.
#### VII. Testing

Testing of the AcuMed Laser included functional performance testing and electrical safety testing.

{1}------------------------------------------------

### VIII. Conclusions

Pursuant to the testing and comparison to the predicate devices, the AcuMed Laser has the same intended uses, with similar functional and performance characteristics. The AcuMed Laser is designed to comply with the general accepted therapeutic heat performance specifications by producing a level of tissue temperature reported in literature and accepted by the Federal Food and Drug Administration.

The AcuMed Laser performs as intended and do not raise any new safety or efficacy issues.
