The description focuses on the mechanical function of a wheelchair with an elevating seat and makes no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is a wheelchair that provides mobility and height adjustment for convenience, but it does not treat or prevent any specific disease, injury, or medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "general purpose utility wheelchair" for "day to day living and transportation" and explicitly mentions its function is to "elevate the seating system to raise the user to a height slightly greater than that of an average able bodied person standing". There is no mention of it being used to diagnose any medical condition.
No
The device description clearly indicates a physical wheelchair with a mechanical elevation system, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a wheelchair designed for mobility and accessing elevated areas. This is a physical assistive device used on the body, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to provide diagnostic information.
- Device Description: While "Not Found" is listed, the Intended Use provides enough information to understand the nature of the device.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnostic testing, or providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro analysis.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This wheelchair does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
This wheelchair is designed as a general purpose utility wheelchair, to be used in, and for, the users day to day living and transportation. It functions as any standard manual wheelchair does, however it is also designed to allow the user to easily and temporarily elevate the seating system to raise the user to a height slightly greater than that of an average able bodied person standing, or any height in between, allowing the user to access high shelves and cabinets, and other things which would be out of reach when seated in a standard wheelchair.
