In addition, the Palomar LuxIR Handpiece may also help muscle spasms, minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain. ## Device Story The Palomar LuxIR Handpiece is an infrared heating device that delivers energy in the 800-1800 nm wavelength range. The system comprises a power source, chiller, footswitch, and the handpiece connected via an umbilical. During operation, the clinician holds the handpiece in firm contact with the patient's skin. The handpiece tip features active water-cooling to manage skin temperature. System parameters are managed via a user interface on the power unit. By elevating local tissue temperature, the device provides temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness, and spasms, while promoting local circulation and muscle relaxation. It is intended for use in a clinical setting by healthcare professionals. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and comparison of technological characteristics to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Infrared heating lamp (21 CFR 890.5500). Wavelength: 800-1800 nm. Features active water-cooled tip for skin cooling. System includes power source, chiller, footswitch, and handpiece. Operated via user interface panel on power unit. ## Regulatory 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 - Cutera Optional Infrared Handpiece ([K033768](/device/K033768.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Cutera Optional Infrared Handpiece | | | | System Description: | The Palomar LuxIR Handpiece delivers infrared
light with a wavelength of 800-1800 nm. The
complete system consists of a power source, chiller,
a footswitch, and a handpiece connected to the
power unit with an umbilical. In standard use, the
handpiece is held in firm contact with the skin. The
handpiece tip is water-cooled to provide active skin
cooling. System parameters and other system
features are controlled from the user interface panel
on top of the power unit. | | {1}------------------------------------------------ ## K050370 | Intended Use of the Device: | | |-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | The Palomar LuxIR Handpiece 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, the temporary
relief of minor joint pain associated with arthritis,
the temporary increase in local circulation where
applied, and the relaxation of muscles. In addition,
the Palomar LuxIR Handpiece may also help
muscle spasms, minor sprains and strains, and
minor muscular back pain. | | Performance Data: | The differences in the specifications of the Palomar
LuxIR Handpiece and the predicate device do not
result in different performance or raise new
questions of safety or efficacy. | | Conclusion: | Based on the foregoing, the Palomar LuxIR
Handpiece is substantially equivalent to the legally-marketed claimed predicate device. | {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
