More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other information suggesting the use of AI/ML.

No
The device, a folding power chair, is described as providing "optional means of mobility for physically challenged people," which makes it an assistive device for daily living rather than a device intended to treat or ameliorate a disease or condition.

No
The device's intended use is to provide mobility for physically challenged individuals, which is a functional aid, not a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states "PHFW-10 Folding Power Chair," which is a physical hardware device. The summary does not mention any software component that functions as a medical device on its own.

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 an optional means of mobility for physically challenged people." This describes a device used on a person for physical assistance, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, tissue, or urine for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: "PHFW-10 Folding Power Chair" clearly describes a mobility aid.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document explicitly states "Not Found" for key elements typically associated with IVDs, such as:
    • Image processing (often used in analyzing specimens)
    • AI/DNN/ML (can be used in analyzing complex biological data)
    • Input Imaging Modality (relevant for imaging specimens)
    • Anatomical Site (IVDs typically analyze specimens from specific sites)
    • Patient Age Range (while some IVDs have age ranges, it's not a defining characteristic, but its absence here supports the non-IVD nature)
    • Training/Test Set Descriptions, Performance Studies, Key Metrics (these are crucial for demonstrating the analytical and clinical performance of an IVD).

In summary, the intended use and device description point to a mobility device, and the lack of information related to specimen analysis and performance studies confirms it is not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Tinsley:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
