No
Explanation: The device is a transport wheelchair, described as providing mobility and convenience, not for treating a specific medical condition or restoring a bodily function.

No
The device description clearly states it is a "wheelchair that provides mobility" and its components and intended use (transporting individuals) do not involve the detection, diagnosis, or treatment of any disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a wheelchair with a mechanical frame, wheels, and casters, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is a "Transport Chair" which is a type of wheelchair. Its function is to provide mobility to individuals.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is "providing mobility to persons limited to a sitting position." This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided about the device's construction, wheels, and intended use environment all point to it being a mobility aid, not a diagnostic device.
