No
The summary describes a purely mechanical device with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No
A mechanical walker is a device used to provide support and stability for individuals who have difficulty walking, but it does not directly treat or cure a disease or condition in a therapeutic sense. It's a mobility aid.

No
The device is described as a "mechanical walker used to provide moderate weight support while walking ensuring balance and support." This description indicates it is a supportive or assistive device for mobility, not a device used to identify or determine the presence of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "mechanical walker," which is a hardware device. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide mechanical support for walking, balance, and weight bearing. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: A mechanical walker is a physical assistive device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on sample analysis.

Therefore, the Series 400 Walker, as described, falls under the category of a physical assistive device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
