The device description and intended use focus solely on a pneumatic lifting mechanism and do not mention any computational or learning capabilities.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for positioning and lifting patients, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
This device is described as an inflatable wedge designed to physically lift and position a patient, which is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one. It does not gather, analyze, or interpret data about a patient's health condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, inflatable wedge made of polyurethane coated nylon with valves and straps, indicating it is a hardware device. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "pneumatically lift and position the head and chest of a patient who is lying in the supine position without manual lifting." This is a physical manipulation of the patient's body for positioning, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the body.
- Device Description: The description details an inflatable wedge used for physical support and positioning. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: 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 samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
The device is clearly a patient handling and positioning aid, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Device Description
The HT-Wedge is an inflatable wedge with square headrest and two intake appendages, one for the head and one for the chest. An inflation/deflation valve is found in each appendage. There is also a tongue attached to the wedge that lies under the patient's buttocks. The inflatable portion of the product is 22" wide and 31 1/4" long. There are four attachment straps, two located on each side of the wedge in order for it to be secured to the OR table. The tongue adds an additional 20" in length. The wedge is constructed of polyurethane coated nylon with 2 one-way, inflation/deflation valves.

The logo consists of two curved lines, one above the other, with several parallel lines running along each curve. To the right of the curved lines is the text "HOVERTECH" in bold, uppercase letters, with the word "International" in a smaller font size below it.
Indications for Use: The purpose of the HT-Wedge is to pneumatically lift and position the head and chest of a patient who is lying in the supine position without manual lifting.
Device Comparison: The HoverTech International® HT-Wedge is substantially equivalent to the HoverJack air patient lift, reaistered by D. T. Davis Enterprises, LTD. in function and intended use. The differences described in the submission between the HoverTech International® HT-Wedge and that of the predicate devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. The intended use for each system is the same. The basic technology is exact since they both require the same UL Listed air supply and make use of the same one-way inflation valve. The power source is only attached to device during inflation, once the device has reached it desired firmness the air supply is removed and the one-way valve is in a closed position. The basic technology and performance characteristics of these systems are the same.
The subject device is intended to be used in any clinical environment where patient care is administered. Health facilities ordinarily used AC powered lifts to place patients in the proper position for ancillary procedures, while reducing the risk of injury to the caregiver and patient.
The labels and labeling (Information Sheet) provide information for the safe operation by the caregiver/user and the intended operation features.
No performance standards or special controls have been promulgated for patient positioning supports under sections 513 and 514 of the FD&C Act.
Safety Testing and performance characteristics have been conducted and successfully completed in order to ensure compliance with specifications. These reports are maintained as required by 21 CFR 820, Quality Systems Regulations.
An assessment of known and reasonable hazards has been conducted to ensure that any risk associated with the device as of the date of product release is as low as reasonably possible.
