Intended Use

The YOLO CURVE is 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.

Device Story

YOLO CURVE is a non-invasive, hand-held infrared lamp system for topical heat therapy. System comprises a drive unit, power supply, controls, and treatment probes containing visible radiating elements. Device uses laser diodes to emit energy in visible and infrared spectrums to elevate tissue temperature. Generator automatically calculates energy output based on set treatment parameters (time, power); progress displayed on LCD in real-time. Supports two independent treatment probes for simultaneous operation by two operators. Used in clinical settings; operated by healthcare professionals. Output provides therapeutic heat to alleviate pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms, and increase local circulation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data demonstrated the device's ability to elevate skin temperature as required for this device class.

Technological Characteristics

Non-invasive infrared lamp; utilizes laser diodes for energy emission. System includes drive unit, power supply, and hand-held treatment probes. Features LCD for real-time parameter display and dual-channel independent output management. Operates via continuous heat therapy at fixed frequency.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring topical heating for temporary relief of minor muscle/joint pain, stiffness, minor arthritis pain, muscle spasm, temporary increase in local blood circulation, and temporary 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.

Predicate Devices

• LAPEX BCS (K081962)

#### 3. Predicate Devices

The YOLO CURVE is substantially equivalent to other infrared lamps currently in commercial distribution such as LAPEX BCS (K081962), Meridian Co., Ltd. and LUCIA Meridian Co., Ltd. The YOLO CURVE has the same intended use as and similar technological (K102375). characteristics to these predicate devices.

#### Device Description 4.

The YOLO CURVE has a hand-held treatment probe, is non-invasive, low level visible lamp that provides continuous heat therapy at fixed frequency. The System consists of a Drive Unit, Power Supply, controls and optional treatment probes that contain the visible radiating elements. The YOLO CURVE generator automatically calculates energy output in relation to set treatment parameters. The parameters (treatment time, output power delivered) can be adjusted by using key, treatment specifications and menus. The progress of the treatment is displayed on the LCD display in real time. The YOLO CURVE generator operates simultaneous and independent management of outputs for connecting probes with laser sources from the Red wavelength. The YOLO CURVE generator is supplied with 2 completely independent outputs for using two treatment probes. The LCD displays operating parameters from both channels. This allows two operators to carry out laser therapy independently: just like having two separate instruments.

#### 5. Indications for Use

The YOLO CURVE is 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.

### 6. Substantial Equivalence

The YOLO CURVE is substantially equivalent to the LUCIA (K102375) manufactured by Meridian Co., Ltd. The YOLO CURVE has the same intended use as and similar technological characteristics as the predicate device. The YOLO CURVE utilizes laser diodes to elevate tissue temperature to a range which is recognized to provide temporary relief of certain muscle and joints pains. The technological characteristics of the predicate device are exactly the same as the YOLO CURVE. The YOLO CURVE described in this 510(k) has the same intended use, indications for use, and technological characteristics as the currently cleared predicate device and is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device.

#### Performance Data 6.

Performance data is attached which showed that elevated skin temperature as required for this type of device. (Please See Appendix III)
