The description focuses on mechanical and hydraulic systems for loading and securing a cot, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
Explanation: The device is intended to assist with loading, unloading, and securing an ambulance cot, not to provide any therapeutic benefit to a patient.
No
The device is a cot fastening system designed to assist with loading, unloading, and securing an ambulance cot during transport, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a trolley, transfer assembly, anchor assembly, battery-powered hydraulic system, and inductive charging capabilities. While software is mentioned as being tested, the device is fundamentally a mechanical and electrical system with software control.
Based on the provided information, 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 Function: The Power-LOAD™ cot fastening system is a mechanical and hydraulic system designed to assist with the physical loading, unloading, and securing of an ambulance cot within a transport vehicle. It does not interact with or analyze biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is to assist with the physical handling and securing of a cot and patient during transport.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical components, hydraulic system, and electrical aspects related to the physical movement and securing of the cot.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, diagnostic testing, or any biological interaction.
Therefore, the Power-LOAD™ cot fastening system falls under the category of a medical device used for patient transport and handling, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Power-LOAD™ cot fastening system (model 6390) is intended to assist with loading and unloading of a compatible wheeled stretcher (ambulance cot) to and from a transport vehicle and to secure the ambulance cot during transport. The device has a maximum safe working load of 870 lbs, which includes the weight of the ambulance cot, patient, and equipment attached to the cot (i.e. oxygen bottles, monitors, and/or pumps). The intended users of the device will be trained professionals including: emergency medical service and medical care center personnel, as well as medical first responders, service technicians and installers. The expected service life of the product is 7 years.

Device Description
The Power-LOAD system secures an ambulance cot within an emergency transport vehicle/ambulance. Power-LOAD includes a trolley that attaches to the cot during the loading and unloading process, a transfer assembly that facilitates linear motion of the trolley and an anchor assembly that attaches to a floor plate mounted to the vehicle floor. When a Power-LOAD-compatible cot is securely attached to the trolley, a batterypowered hydraulic system assists the operators in lifting, lowering and loading and unloading a cot. When the cot is secured in the transport position, Power-LOAD can interface with and inductively charge compatible model 6506 Power-PRO™ XT and 6516 Power-PROTM IT ambulance cots. In the event of power loss, the system remains functional for securing the cot within the vehicle. In this case, loading and unloading of the cot would be achieved manually, as is standard practice today. There will be three cots compatible with Power-LOAD, Power-PRO XT, Power-PRO IT and Performance-PRO XT.

Intended Use/Indications for Use
The Power-LOAD™ cot fastening system (model 6390) is intended to assist with loading and unloading of a compatible wheeled stretcher (ambulance cot) to and from a transport vehicle and to secure the ambulance cot during transport. The device has a maximum safe working load of 870 lbs, which includes the weight of the ambulance cot, patient, and equipment attached to the cot (i.e. oxygen bottles, monitors, and/or pumps).

The expected service life of the product is 7 years.
Substantial Equivalence Analysis
The Power-LOAD™ Cot Fastener is similar in technology and intended use to the IRSG I-Mover for Beds. International Retail Services Group LLC (K072598), which is used to assist healthcare personnel in the movement of a wheeled stretcher, either patient-laden or non-laden, in a healthcare setting.
Similarities include the main function of moving a wheeled stretcher and assisting medical personnel with patient transfer. Both devices are accessories to a wheeled stretcher. Differences include the compatibility of Power-LOAD solely with Stryker wheeled stretchers, the additional capability to lift the stretcher by Power-LOAD, which is affixed to an ambulance vehicle, and the capability of the predicate to move hospital beds as well as wheeled stretchers.
Verification and validation of design and performance for Power-LOAD demonstrates that these technology differences do not adversely affect safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled, as the device has been fully tested for use and performance to demonstrate its safe and effective use.
