Not Found

Unknown
The provided 510(k) summary lacks detailed information about the device description, image processing, or any explicit mention of AI/ML terms. Without this information, it's impossible to determine if AI/ML is incorporated.

No
The provided information does not describe the device itself, only refers to its intended use being stated elsewhere and mentions legally marketed predicate devices from prior to May 28, 1976. There is no information to indicate the device has a therapeutic function.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "for the indications for use stated in the enclosure," which implies a specific medical purpose, categorizing it as a diagnostic device. Also, the mention of "legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976" in the "Predicate Device(s)" section suggests this device is being compared to already established medical devices, further supporting its diagnostic nature.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary is incomplete and lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only.

Based on the provided information, it is not possible to definitively determine if this device is an IVD.

Here's why:

  • The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section is the most crucial for determining if a device is an IVD. It states "for the indications for use stated in the enclosure". Without the content of this enclosure, we cannot see if the device is intended for the examination of specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of disease or other conditions. This is the core definition of an IVD.
  • The other sections are "Not Found". While the absence of information about image processing, AI, anatomical site, etc., might suggest it's less likely to be a complex imaging-based IVD, it doesn't rule out other types of IVDs (e.g., a simple test kit).

To determine if this device is an IVD, you would need to review the "indications for use stated in the enclosure". If those indications involve testing human specimens for diagnostic or related purposes, then it is likely an IVD.

Trade/Device Name: Merlexicraft Series of Manual (Mechanical) Wheelchairs Regulation Number: 21 CFR 890.3850 Regulation Name: Mechanical wheelchair Regulatory Class: I Product Code: IOR Dated: September 8, 2003 Received: September 11, 2003

Dear Ms. Hermes:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 30, 2003 regarding the device named above. The regulation number, 21.CFR 3825 and regulation name, Mechanical walker, were incorrectly listed. The correct regulation number and name are listed above.

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 reguirements 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
