Intended Use
The device is intended to provide mobility to persons restricted to a seated position or who are mobility impaired.
Device Description
The Rascal "We Go 250" Powered Wheelchair is an indoor/outdoor use battery operated wheelchair. It has a frame with four (4) wheels, a seat, two (2) arm rests and a seat belt. The primary technology advantage of this device is that the movement of the wheelchair can be controlled by the rider or an attendant using hand controls located at the top of steering column to adjust the speed and direction of the wheelchair with occupant therein. These hand controls for the attendant are the same controls used for most electric scooters (Motorized Three Wheeled Vehicles - Regulation Number 890.3800). We currently market electric scooters with that same technology (510k K002616). The brake mechanism is activated or deactivated dependant upon the use of the hand controls located at the top of the steering column. The base of the wheelchair is same base currently used on 510k approved device (K013788)
More Information

No
The description focuses on standard powered wheelchair technology with hand controls and a braking mechanism, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
Explanation: The device, a powered wheelchair, is intended to provide mobility, which assists with daily living activities rather than treating or diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description indicates it is a powered wheelchair for mobility, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, battery-operated wheelchair with a frame, wheels, seat, armrests, seat belt, and hand controls. It references existing hardware components and predicate devices that are also physical wheelchairs.

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 restricted to a seated position or who are mobility impaired." This is a functional purpose related to physical assistance and mobility, not the diagnosis of diseases or conditions using samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details a powered wheelchair with mechanical and electrical components for movement and control. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document 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 biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The device is clearly described as a Powered Wheelchair, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs. The predicate devices listed (K011687 Merits Powered Wheelchair) also confirm its classification as a mobility aid.
