No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and electrical safety standards, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
This device assists with a physical movement (rising from a chair) but does not treat, diagnose, cure, or prevent a disease or condition, which are characteristics of a therapeutic device. It is more of an assistive living aid.

No

The device is described as an electrically powered, motor-driven chair designed to assist individuals with rising from a seated to a standing position. Its function is purely mechanical assistance, not to diagnose any medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a steel frame, upholstered chair assembly, and motorized lift actuator, indicating it is a hardware device with electrical and mechanical components, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to assist individuals with physical difficulty in rising from a seated to a standing position. This is a physical assistance function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical, electrically powered chair designed for physical support and movement. It does not involve the analysis of biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in the body.
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on biological analysis.

The device is clearly a medical device providing physical assistance, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 890.3110 Electric positioning chair.

(a)
Identification. An electric positioning chair is a device with a motorized positioning control that is intended for medical purposes and that can be adjusted to various positions. The device is used to provide stability for patients with athetosis (involuntary spasms) and to alter postural positions.(b)
Classification. Class II. The electric positioning chair is exempt from premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to § 890.9 and the following conditions for exemption:(1) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate that the safety controls are adequate to ensure safe use of the device and prevent user falls from the device in the event of a device failure;
(2) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate the ability of the device to withstand the rated user weight load with an appropriate factor of safety;
(3) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate the longevity of the device to withstand external forces applied to the device and provide the user with an expected service life of the device;
(4) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate proper environments of use and storage of the device to maximize the longevity of the device;
(5) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of ANSI/AAMI/ES60601-1, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance,” and ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-1-2, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance—Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Disturbances—Requirements and Tests”) must validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety;
(6) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1, “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process,” ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-5, “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part 5: Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity,” and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-10, “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Skin Sensitization”) must validate that the skin-contacting components of the device are biocompatible;
(7) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of IEC 62304, “Medical Device Software—Software Life Cycle Processes”) must validate the software life cycle and that all processes, activities, and tasks are implemented and documented;
(8) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must validate that the device components are found to be non-flammable;
(9) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must validate that the battery in the device (if applicable) performs as intended over the anticipated service life of the device; and
(10) Adequate patient labeling is provided to the user to document proper use and maintenance of the device to ensure safe use of the device by the patient in the intended use environment.
