Indications for Use
The Nexus BioWave Series IR Lamp Systems are 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, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm; the temporary increase in local blood circulation; and / or the temporary relaxation of muscle.
Device Story
Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems are non-invasive therapeutic devices emitting infrared light energy to elevate tissue temperature. The system comprises a control console and a handpiece probe connected via fiberoptic cables. The device uses a gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) source to deliver laser light at 810 and 980 nm wavelengths; a non-therapeutic red laser guide light illuminates the treatment area. The console features a pressure-activated membrane interface and LCD display. Operated by clinicians in a clinical setting, the device is placed on a desktop or table. The provider directs the probe to the patient's skin surface to deliver heat. By achieving a therapeutic temperature range of 40-45°C, the device provides temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness, arthritis pain, and muscle spasms, while promoting local blood circulation and muscle relaxation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing conducted on 3 subjects at 2 physical locations (shoulder, neck, knee, or lower back). Results demonstrated an increase in topical skin temperature of at least 5°C within 1 minute, reaching a therapeutic range of 41-43°C (baseline 30-32°C), maintained over a 10-minute treatment period. Compliance with EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2, and ISO 14971 confirmed.
Technological Characteristics
Infrared lamp system using GaAlAs laser diodes (810/980 nm). Components: control console and handpiece probe made of medical-grade PVC; glass focusing lens. Energy source: electrical. Connectivity: standalone desktop console. Standards: EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2, ISO 14971. Therapeutic output: 40-45°C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring topical heating for temporary relief of minor muscle/joint pain, stiffness, minor arthritis pain, muscle spasm, increased local blood circulation, or muscle relaxation.
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.

# II. Device Description
The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems are intended for use as infrared heat lamps. The Systems are non-invasive devices that emit light energy to the skin-surface of human body for the purpose of causing the therapeutic elevation of tissue temperature.
The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems deliver an invisible laser light beam in the infrared spectrum at wavelengths of 810 and 980 nm using a gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) source. The laser light beam is carried to the focusing lens on the handpiece probe by quartz optical fibers. The tissue to be treated is illuminated by a non-therapeutic red laser guide light. The Systems consist of 2 main hardware sub-systems: 1) the control console and 2) the treatment handpiece probe with its connecting cable.
The control consoles are made of standard medical PVC material and are designed to be place on a desktop or table in the vicinity of the patient to be treated. The console houses the user interface, which is a pressure activated membrane and an LCD display.
The treatment probes are made of standard medical grade PVC. The laser energy for heat treatment is delivered to the treatment probe via fiberoptic cables. The probes contain a focusing lens at the aperture, which is made of

glass suitable for medical applications.
### III. Indications For Use
The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems are intended to emit energy in the visible and 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, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm; the temporary increase in local blood circulation; and / or the temporary relaxation of muscle.
### IV. Predicate Devices
The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems are substantially equivalent to other infrared therapeutic lamps that are currently in commercial distribution. These predicate devices include, but are not limited to, the USA Laser Biotech Inc. Nexus XPulse IR Heat Lamp Systems (K091726), the LUMINA 1600 Infrared Heat Lamp Therapy System (K052814), and ICL 60 Plus HFPL System (Models 40, 100, 250) K042256
### Summary of the Technical Characteristics of the Nexus IR Lamp V. Systems as Related to the Referenced Predicate Devices.
The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems and the aforementioned predicate devices are infrared lamps as defined in 21 CFR 890.5500. These devices utilize infrared and visible laser diodes to generate topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperatures for temporary relief of muscle and joint pain.
### VI. Testing
Testing of the Systems include functional performance testing and electrical safety testing. The Systems are manufactured to comply with the following international standards:
| EN 60601-1:2001 | Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1, General<br>Requirements for Safety |
|-------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| EN 60601-1-2:2001 | Medical Electrical Equipment, General Requirement<br>for Safety. Electromagnetic Compatibility |
| ISO 14971 | Medical Devices: Application of Risk Management |
The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems are capable of achieving therapeutic temperature range of 40 - 45 degrees centigrade as accepted by the FDA. An increase in topical heating of the tissue level by at least 5 decrees centigrade was reached within one (1) minute as demonstrated in the bench testing that was conducted on each handheld probe. The therapeutic temperature range was maintained for the 10 minute testing time. The temperatures versus time measurements were conducted on 3 subjects at 2 physical locations, i.e., shoulder, neck, knee or lower back areas. On an average, the pre-exposed topical skin temperature ranged from 30 to 32 degrees centigrade. The topical temperature during exposure following brief stabilization time ranged from 41 to 43 degrees centigrade. These data demonstrate the System meets the generally accepted topical temperature range for therapeutic heat of 40 - 45 degrees centigrade during the recommended treatment time of 10 minutes.
{2}------------------------------------------------
### Conclusions VII.
Pursuant to the testing and comparison to the predicate devices, the Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems have the same intended uses, with similar functional and performance characteristics. The Nexus Series IR Lamp Systems are designed to comply with applicable performance standards promulgated by Federal Food and Drug Administration. These Systems perform as intended and do not raise any new safety or efficacy issues.
