Intended Use
The Pride Mobility Products Corp. Synergy Ultimate is a power positioning seating system designed for users who need to operate their power chair and seating system independently without assistance from an attendant. The user is able to adjust the unit to achieve comfort, pressure relief, and necessary repositioning. The Synerav Ultimate is available with any or all of the following features: Power Tilt, Power-Elevating Seat, Power Recline, and Power Elevating Leq rests. All functions can be controlled from the user's joystick, through an attendant control device, or through an optional toggle switch. Pride Mobility Products Corp. makes no claims as to the therapeutic effectiveness of the product listed above. Pride Mobility Products Corp. strongly recommends a certified rehabilitation therapist evaluate all customers of its products.
Device Description
The Synergy Ultimate is a battery-operated wheelchair seating and positioning system featuring a power tilt and / or a power seat elevator. The Synergy Ultimate is designed for, but not limited to Pride Mobility Products Corp. Powered Wheelchairs. There are a variety of additional options available on the system including power recline with a skin shear reduction package or power articulating and elevating leg rests. Each feature can be used independently of each other or simultaneously to achieve the necessary repositioning of the user for pressure relief, increased respiratory function, positioning for daily activities or for other reasons deemed medically necessary. The frame is a welded steel construction and all materials used on the Synergy Ultimate meet or exceed the California 117 standard for Flame Resistant Testing. The power tilt function allows the entire seat base and back to tilt rearward up to 55 degrees to transfer weight from the lower extremities to the upper torso. The power recline system allows the seat back to move independently of the seat base opening the back angle up to 170 degrees. The reclining seat back can also be equipped with a sliding back package that will limit the amount of skin sheer produced by the reclining of back. The power elevating seat function allows the client to elevate themselves up to 12 inches to gain additional access to their environment. The power elevating leg rests allow the clients lower extremeties to be elevated independently, combined or in conjunction with the Reclining Back. The elevating leg rests may also be equipped with an articulation feature that helps maintain proper knee to heel length during the elevation of the leg rests The Synergy Ultimate has been designed with client safety as a priority. Actuator lock out and drive speed inhibits are incorporated into the system and monitored by the power seating control system to ensure client safety.

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "Pride Mobility Products Corp. makes no claims as to the therapeutic effectiveness of the product listed above." While it can provide comfort and aid in pressure relief and repositioning, it's not marketed or claimed to have therapeutic effects.

No

The device is a power positioning seating system for wheelchairs, designed for user comfort, pressure relief, and repositioning. It does not claim therapeutic effectiveness or diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a welded steel frame, battery operation, actuators, and a power seating control system. While it includes control mechanisms (joystick, attendant control, toggle switch), the core functionality and description are centered around physical hardware.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Synergy Ultimate is a power positioning seating system for wheelchairs. Its function is to provide physical support, comfort, and repositioning for users.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples or any diagnostic testing.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for independent operation of a power chair and seating system for comfort, pressure relief, and repositioning. This is a physical support and mobility function, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the Synergy Ultimate falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a mobility and positioning aid, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic.
