Intended Use
The Aquilla Modular Wheelchair is intended to provide mobility for occupants who are unable to walk or have difficulty in walking without assistance.
Device Description
The Aquilla Modular Wheelchair is manually operated, and can be configured for propulsion by an attendant or an occupant. The range of sizes and build configurations are suitable for male or female sizes from junior to adult. The Aquilla Modular Wheelchair consists of typical components found on most manual wheelchairs. The chairs feature a backrest, folding seat frame, footrest, rear wheels and front castors. Accessories include occupant-positioning belts, and optional features which allow a chair to be changed simply to meet the changing environmental and health requirements of the occupant. Aquilla is suitable for use both indoors and outdoors on surfaces that are intended typically for public access. This type of wheelchair is not suitable for soft and undulating terrain or for climbing obstacles. Aquilla can be easily folded for compact storage, and armrests and footrests can be removed to reduce the weight for lifting. Aquilla is labeled to indicate important aspects of use, including warnings and cautions.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and structural aspects of a manual wheelchair, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is a wheelchair, which provides mobility assistance rather than therapy for a medical condition.

No
The device description clearly states its purpose is to provide mobility for individuals who cannot walk, and it describes a manual wheelchair with its components and features. There is no mention of diagnostic functions or capabilities.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, manually operated wheelchair with various hardware components (backrest, seat frame, wheels, etc.). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide mobility for individuals with walking difficulties. This is a physical aid, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical device with components like a backrest, seat frame, wheels, etc. It does not mention any reagents, assays, or procedures for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of sample types, analytical methods, diagnostic markers, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The Aquilla Modular Wheelchair does not perform any such function.

Dear Mr. Wood:

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.
