The device description details a manually operated, mechanical wheelchair with various positioning features. There is no mention of any computational or learning capabilities.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that the tilt-in-space feature provides "pressure relief" and the lateral tilt feature "is helpful in positioning individuals with a number of different conditions." These functions go beyond basic mobility and indicate a therapeutic intent to alleviate or manage specific physical conditions.
No
The device description indicates wheelchairs for mobility, and the intended use focuses on providing mobility. There is no mention of diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states that the Gunnell Rehab Series of Wheelchairs are "manually operated, mechanical wheelchairs" fabricated from materials common to the industry. This indicates a physical, hardware-based device, not software only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide mobility to individuals limited to a seating position. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is a manually operated, mechanical wheelchair. It describes features related to mobility, positioning, and comfort, not the analysis of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions through such analysis, or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for clinical purposes. This wheelchair does not perform any such function.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The purpose of The Gunnell Rehab Series Wheelchairs is to provide mobility to individuals limited to a seating position. They may also be used as attendant propelled transport devices in a health care environment such as a hospital, nursing home or extended care facility. The Kidster is the only device in the GRSW that is solely intended for pediatric users.
The intended use of all of the GRSW's is to provide mobility to individuals restricted to a sitting position.

Device Description
The Gunnell Rehab Series of Wheelchairs (GRSW) are manually operated, mechanical wheelchairs. The GRSW are fabricated from materials common to many other wheelchairs in the industry. In addition, the GRSW offer the same options and exhibit the same features as many other mechanical wheelchairs in the market. The entire GRSW feature a recline function. The TNT. MAC, and Kidster include a tilt in space feature, which allows the upper frame of the wheelchair to be tilted. This feature is used to provide pressure relief as well as comfort to those users who may be confined to the wheelchair for extended periods of time. The tilt feature can also serve as an attendant aid in those situations where a patient needs to be tilted for attendant access. The TNT and RAM and Kidster also have an optional lateral tilt feature allowing for 20° lateral tilt to the right and left. The lateral tilt feature is helpful in positioning individuals with a number of different conditions. For example, this feature allows for the seat to be on a lateral angle in response to the angle or degree of scoliosis exhibited by the user thereby providing better positioning for long term usage. The TNT and the RAM are available in bariatric sizes, featuring the same options and construction as that of their respective standard models.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The Gunnell Rehab Series of Wheelchairs have been developed based on extensive knowledge and experience gained by providing mobility for individuals requiring assistive technology since the introduction of Gunnell Inc. in the late 1950's. This knowledge and experience has provided many satisfied individuals with durable and safe wheelchairs through the years. The GRSW are fabricated from the same materials as many wheelchairs in the industry, and offer many of the same features and options. Additionally, the GRSW successfully tested in accordance with the applicable parts of ISO 7176 (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 15) which includes testing for static, impact and fatigue strengths.
