No
The document describes a standard power wheelchair and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device facilitates mobility for individuals limited to a sitting position and does not claim any therapeutic effect such as treating or preventing a disease, or restoring or correcting a bodily function.

No

The device description indicates that the Invacare Model Storm TDX Power Wheelchair is designed to provide mobility for individuals, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "battery powered, motor driven device" and a "rigid or 'non- folding' type power wheelchair," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide mobility to individuals with limited mobility. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's a battery-powered, motor-driven device for providing mobility.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This power wheelchair does not fit that definition.

Device Description

The Invacare Storm TDX power wheelchair is a battery powered, motor driven device with the intended function and use of providing mobility to those persons limited to a sitting position that have the capability of operating a power wheelchair. It is a rigid or "non- folding" type power wheelchair, with mid wheel drive capability.

Mid wheel drive means that the drive wheels are located near the center of the wheelchair as opposed to the rear of the wheelchair. Mounting the drive wheels more toward the center of the wheelchair, results in a chair that is easier to maneuver than the traditional rear wheel drive wheelchair.

The Invacare Storm TDX wheelchair is powered by two 12 VDC batteries. Access to the batteries is gained from underneath the chair. The need to charge the batteries will vary, depending on the type/model of the individual chair selected, and the use of the chair. The upholstery is fabricated from U240 Nylon. This material meets California 116 and 117 and Boston Fire Department BFD-1 specifications for fire retardancy.
