Device Description
The Discovery Tmax is a manually operated, self/attendant propelled, mechanical wheelchair. It is intended exclusively for the adaptation of orthopedic seating systems (e.g. seating shells) for people who are unable to walk or have walking impediments. The Discovery Tmax can be used indoors and outdoors. In order to provide an optimized, individual fitting, the product is adjustable and/or adaptable. The Discovery Tmax consists of a non-folding frame of aluminum, large wheels with hand rims, and small front pivoting casters. The width, depth, and height of seat are adjustable in 1 inch increments. The armrest is made of Polyurethane soft integral foam and is adjustable. It also has an adjustable backrest and removable footrest. The Discovery Tmax includes a "Tilt in space" feature which allows the seat to be tilted. The seat angle can be adjusted from -5° to +50° in increments of 2.5°. The desired seat angle is achieved by moving the push handles/ push bar. The angle can be read from the angle indicator on the hole channel.

No
The device description details a manually operated, mechanical wheelchair with adjustable features. There is no mention of any software, sensors, or computational components that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are based on mechanical and structural standards for wheelchairs.

Yes
The device is a wheelchair, which is explicitly designed to assist individuals with walking impediments or disabilities by providing mobility, thus serving a therapeutic purpose to improve their functional capabilities.

No

This device is a manually operated mechanical wheelchair intended for mobility assistance, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its purpose is to aid individuals with walking impediments.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, mechanical wheelchair with a frame, wheels, adjustable components, and a tilt feature. There is no mention of any software component.

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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a manual wheelchair. This is a mechanical device used for mobility and support for individuals with walking impediments.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide mobility and support for patients with various physical limitations affecting their ability to walk. This is a physical aid, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.

The device is clearly a mobility aid, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Kabitz

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
