## Indications for Use

The Dynatron DX2 is designed to provide static, intermittent, and cycling distraction forces to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing low back pain. It relieves pain associated with hemiated discs, protruding discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, and sciatica. It achieves these effects through decompression of intervertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning. The Dynatron DX2 functions as a system console for controlling the use of infrared therapy devices such as the Dynatron D880 and Dynatron D890 devices. Indications for Use of these devices are to provide topical heating for temporary increase in blood circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness, relaxation of muscles, muscle spasms, and minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.

## Device Story

System console (Dynatron DX2) provides static, intermittent, and cycling distraction forces for spinal decompression; utilizes electric motor, control electronics, and LCD display. Pull-head/goniometer attaches to patient harnesses to apply and monitor force/angle. Device also acts as control console for external infrared therapy units (Dynatron D880/D890). Used in clinical settings under clinician supervision. Clinician programs traction parameters; device provides mechanical unloading of intervertebral discs to relieve pressure and pain. Infrared output provides topical heating for muscle relaxation and pain relief. Benefits include non-invasive pain management for spinal conditions and musculoskeletal stiffness.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Device safety and effectiveness are supported by bench testing and conformance to applicable performance standards (21 CFR 1010).

## Technological Characteristics

System console with electric motor and control electronics; LCD alpha-numeric display. Includes pull-head/goniometer for force/angle feedback and traction belts. Provides output ports for infrared therapy devices. Conforms to 21 CFR 1010 performance standards.

## 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.
