No
The description details a purely mechanical device with no mention of software, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
No
The device is a mechanical wheelchair designed for mobility, not to treat or cure a medical condition.
No
The device description indicates that Panthera mechanical wheelchairs are "manually operated multifunctional wheelchairs designed for indoor/outdoor use and intended to provide mobility". This function does not involve diagnosing medical conditions, but rather providing physical assistance and transportation.
No
The device description clearly outlines the physical components of a mechanical wheelchair, including materials like steel, titanium alloy, metal, rubber, and polymer. It describes a tangible, hardware-based medical device.
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 mobility to persons by being a manually operated wheelchair. This is a physical aid for mobility, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components of a wheelchair (frame, wheels, seat, etc.). It does not mention any reagents, assays, or procedures for analyzing biological specimens.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There is no indication of diagnosing a disease or condition based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device clearly falls outside of that definition.

Device Description
Panthera mechanical wheelchairs are manually driven, lightweight, performance type of wheelchairs that have been designed and developed to be used in both indoor and outdoor environments, and to transport one (1) person at a time. These wheelchairs are made available by Panthera Production AB in five (5) different top-level models, with each model designed for a specific end-user application. The five different models of chairs are the S2, U2, Bambino, Micro, and BT.
There are no basic differences in the general construction of each model wheelchair frame, or the materials and components used to make them. The Chassis are made form chrome-molly steel, while their Pushrims and Footrests are made from a titanium alloy. Wheels are of a spoke and hub design using metal components and rubber tires, while the casters are of a semi-solid polymer base design. The seat cushion and back are made from flame retardant polyurethane coated polyester fabric, over a foam core. The primary differences in the models of wheelchairs are in their dimensions, gross weights, weight carrying capacities, adjustability features, wheels, accessories and hardware options.

Section 5 4 - Safety and Effectiveness
By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics But, it can be demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and the new device does not raise different questions regarding safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device
As such, it has been shown in this 510(k) submission, that the differences between the Panthera mechanical wheelcharrs and the predicate devices, the Invacare Top End Terminator Titanıum wheelchair (ref K012167) and the

Invacare Top End Terminator SS wheelchair (ref K990157) (K051387), do not raise any questions regarding their safety and effectiveness
Panthera mechanical wheelchairs as designed and manufactured are as safe and effective as the predicate devices and therefore are determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate devices
Section 5 5 - Performance Data
Panthera mechanical wheelchairs have been designed, manufactured and tested for conformance to the applicable ISO and EN standards as referenced in this submission In addition, Panthera mechanical wheelchairs passed all required consensus standards testing for conformance to the FDA's Guidance Document for the Preparation of Premarket Notification [510(K)] Applications for Mechanical and Powered Wheelchars, and Motorized Three-Wheeled Vehicles
