The device description clearly states it is an "Electric powered four wheel drive scooter," which is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the MERITS Pioneer 3 Powered Scooter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide mobility to adults with limited mobility. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: It's described as an electric powered four-wheel drive scooter, which is a mobility aid.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. The MERITS Pioneer 3 Powered Scooter does not fit this description.

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.
