No
The description focuses on virtual reality games controlled by a physical device and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is indicated for stroke rehabilitation and maintaining/increasing range of motion, which are therapeutic uses.

No

The device is described as an "exercise system" used for "upper limb rehabilitation" and "muscle re-education." Its function is to facilitate "therapeutic bilateral movement exercises" through a game controller and computer games. There is no mention of diagnostic capabilities such as identifying, assessing, or monitoring a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a lightweight polymer handlebar with a wireless game controller and a fixed hand grip, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Able-X is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Able-X Function: The Able-X is an exercise system used for physical rehabilitation of the upper limb in stroke patients. It uses virtual reality and a game controller to facilitate movement and exercise.
  • No Specimen Analysis: The description of the Able-X does not mention any analysis of biological specimens. Its function is entirely focused on physical interaction and exercise.

Therefore, the Able-X falls under the category of a physical therapy or rehabilitation device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
