Unknown
The term "Intelligent Posture and Purpose Adjustments (IPPA)" is used, which could imply some form of AI/ML, but the description lacks any technical details about how this "intelligence" is implemented or if it involves learning or complex algorithms. The "Not Found" entries for AI/ML mentions, training/test sets, and performance studies further contribute to the ambiguity.

No
The device is a multi-functional active wheelchair designed to increase functionality for individuals limited to a sitting position by allowing them to adjust their sitting posture. It does not appear to treat or prevent a medical condition.

No
The device is described as a multi-functional active wheelchair designed to increase functionality and adjust sitting posture, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly identifies the device as a "Cat multi-functional active wheelchair," which is a physical hardware device. The description of the "IPPA" mechanism, while involving adjustments, is part of the physical wheelchair's functionality, not a standalone software product.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the "Cat multi-functional active wheelchair" is intended for use by individuals limited to a sitting position to increase their functionality and adjust their sitting posture. This is a physical assistive device used externally on the body, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting biomarkers, diseases, or conditions.
    • Using reagents or laboratory procedures.

Therefore, the Cat multi-functional active wheelchair is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
