Indications for Use
The Lumix 3 100W Plus and Lumix 3 250W Ultra IR Laser 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
Lumix 3 100W Plus and 250W Ultra are infrared laser therapy systems for ambulatory clinical use. Devices deliver infrared energy (910nm pulsed, 808nm continuous/interrupted) and visible red guide light (650nm) via diode sources. Light is transmitted through optic fibers to a focusing lens, producing a 20mm diameter beam. A flexible arm allows clinicians to target specific tissue areas. The guide light assists in visualizing the treatment site. Operation involves setting modulation duty cycles to control pulse trains and pauses. The device elevates topical tissue temperature to 40-45°C to provide therapeutic benefits, including pain relief, increased circulation, and muscle relaxation. Clinicians operate the device to treat patients; output is thermal energy applied directly to the skin. Benefits include non-invasive, temporary relief of musculoskeletal symptoms.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Temperature versus time measurements were conducted on 8 subjects across various body locations (leg, neck, back, shoulder). Results demonstrated the device achieves and maintains a therapeutic topical skin temperature of 40-45°C within one minute of application, sustained for at least 10 minutes.

## Device Description:
Lumix 3 100W Plus and Lumix 3 250W Ultra IR Laser Systems are laser therapy devices for applications suitable to be used in an ambulatory setting and under the care of a licensed healthcare provider. In particular the device works by providing infrared energy to elevate tissue temperature.
The Lumix 3 series laser therapy heat lamp heat devices deliver visible and invisible laser light at the wavelength of 910 nm (pulsed infrared), 808nm (continuous and interrupted infrared) and 650nm (continuous red visible). The pulsed laser sources used are of diodic type for pulsed working mode; the continuous laser sources used are of diodic type for continuous and frequenced working mode.
The laser light beam produced by the diode is carried to the focusing lens optic fibers with very low attenuation and high mechanical strength. The laser light, produced by the different sources, is emitted in a single bright beam, which at the optical unit output has a diameter equal to at 20mm. The flexible arm can be oriented by the user at will to heat-treat the required tissue area.
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### K132016 Lumix 3 Plus and Lumix 3 Ultra May 23, 2014
The optical unit contains a focusing lens with a high transmission coefficient used to focus the light beam carried by the optical fibers on the tissue to be treated. In order to identify precisely the tissue area to be irradiated, it is important to have a guide light available (650nm red) with a beam collimated with the laser light beam. The guide light allows one to visualize the target site clearly. The red quide light has no therapeutic value.
## Technical Observations:
The pulsed and superpulsed laser emission consists of a sequence of pulses lasting about 200 ns repeated at a pulse rate varying from 1 Hz to 100,000 Hz. (cycles per second).
The laser emission from the 808nm continuous wave diode can be in a continuous emission or a modulated (interrupted) mode. In the modulated mode the pulses are emitted at varying pulse rates from 1 Hz to 100,000 Hz (cycles per second).
By setting the modulation DUTY-CYCLE it is possible to change the lighting time as to the interruption one into the 5 seconds period:
| DUTY-<br>CYCLE | TRAIN IMPULSES LENGTH | PAUSE DURATION |
|----------------|-----------------------|----------------|
| 20 | 1 second | 4 seconds |
| 50 | 2.5 seconds | 2.5 seconds |
| 80 | 4 seconds | 1 second |
The amount of energy at the optical system output point can be calculated by applying the following formula:
E(J)total = E(j)pw910nm + E(j)cw808nm
#### Where:
E(j)pw910nm = Peak power (W) x diodes number x impulse width (sec) x modulation x treatment time (sec)
E(i)pw910nm = Peak power (W) x Coefficient x modulation x treatment time (sec)
### Where Coefficient is:
1 if the diode is on in CW modality 0.5 if the diode is on in pulsed modality

#### Non-Clinical Testing: VII.
The use of light energy to generate heat for therapeutic use has been well documented and is generally accepted alternative treatment modality for the temporary relief of pain and tissue repair.
The Lumix 3 100W Plus and Lumix 3 250W Ultra IR Laser Systems are capable of achieving therapeutic heat 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° centigrade was reached within one (1) minute demonstrated in the clinical testing conducted. The therapeutic temperature range was maintained for at least ten (10) minutes.
The temperature versus time measurements was conducted on 8 subjects at various physical locations, i.e., leg, neck, back and shoulder. The preexposed topical skin temperature ranged from 36 to 39 degrees centigrade. These data from the Lumix 3 100W Plus and Lumix 3 250W Ultra IR Laser Systems demonstrates that they meet the generally accepted topical temperature range for therapeutic heat of 40 - 45 degrees centigrade during the recommended treatment time of 10 minutes.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
