No
The device description details a traditional manual wheelchair with no mention of software, sensors, or any components that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The performance studies are based on physical standards, not algorithmic performance.
No
A wheelchair is primarily a mobility aid, and its intended use is to provide transportation for individuals with restricted mobility, not to treat or cure a medical condition.
No
The provided text explicitly states that "The Catalyst wheelchair is a manually operated device intended to be used as a means of mobility for persons restricted to a sitting position." There is no mention of diagnostic functions, measurements, or analysis of medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly details a physical, manually operated wheelchair constructed from aluminum tubing and various mechanical components. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.
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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Catalyst Wheelchair Function: The description clearly states that the Catalyst wheelchair is a "manually operated device intended to be used as a means of mobility for persons restricted to a sitting position." It is a physical device for transportation and support, not for analyzing biological samples.
The provided information about the device's construction, testing standards, and predicate device further confirms its nature as a mobility aid, not an IVD.

Device Description
The Catalyst is a traditional folding cross-brace wheelchair. It is made of lightweight aluminum tubing similar to what is used on existing products. The frame utilizes two cross tube sets and, when opened, nestles inside of the frame onto 4 hooks to create a box like rigid assembly. Upon the outside of this framework, and to the rear, are assembled 2 machined aluminum axle plates. Stainless steel receivers are mounted within the axle plates. Wheels of varying size and type are connected to the receivers via stainless steel axles. On the front end of the frame are assembled 2 aluminum housings. Caster forks are mounted to these housings via stainless steel axles. A variety of caster wheels and tires are then connected to the forks. Upon the top of the frame is attached a seat sling. Into the rear of the frame assembly 2 backtubes are inserted to the desired height. Backrest upholstery is affixed to the backtubes. Armrests receivers bolt onto the rear of each side frame. Individual Swing Away tubular arms are then inserted into the receivers. If flipback armrests are chosen a receiver is mounted onto the from of each side frame to catch the forward most section of the arm and the rear mounting is pivoting to allow the arm to rotate backward. Height Adjustable arms fit into a receiver that mounts onto the outside of the frame. Wheel locks mount onto the upper side frame and are adjusted so that the brake arm engages with the tire and when in the locked position prevents to the wheel from rotating. Swing Away footrests with footplates and heel loops attach at the front of the chair. There is a plug at the top of the footrest hanger that inserts into an opening at the top front of the wheelchair frame. The footrest hanger is turned 90 degrees away from the frame. Hold the latch, which is midway down the hanger, tightly against the front of the frame and rotate the footrest back towards center. The latch will engage once the footrest hanger is centered.

Dear Mr. Munsey:
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 requirements 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.

Page 2 – Mr. Douglas H. Munsey
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 (240) 276-0120Also, 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 (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
