No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses on basic mobility controls.

No
The device, a power wheelchair (MP3C Power Base Chair, Model MP3C), is intended to provide mobility, which is an assistive function, not a therapeutic treatment for a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device description states its intended use is to "provide mobility to adults," which indicates it is a mobility aid, not a device used for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states "MP3C Power Base Chair, Model MP3C," indicating a physical hardware component (a power base chair).

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide mobility to adults. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "Power Base Chair". This is a medical device for mobility, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

Therefore, the MP3C Power Base Chair is a medical device for mobility and does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Anderson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
