No
The device description focuses on mechanical and electrical components for transporting a person on stairs, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is described as a stair lift intended to mechanically transport a mobility-impaired person up and down stairs. It does not claim to treat or diagnose any medical condition, but rather aids in mobility.

No
This device is a stair lift intended for mechanical transportation of people, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a drive unit, footrest, rail, seat, and various optional hardware features. It is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "mechanically transport one mobility impaired person... up and down straight stairs." This is a physical function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanical components of a stair lift (drive unit, rail, seat, etc.). There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: 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 the body
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The device is clearly a medical device intended for mobility assistance, as evidenced by its function and the predicate devices listed (which are also stair lifts).

  • Both products offer a higher rated load then the minimum requested by standards (EN . Doth products offer a mights offers a maximum of 181 kg, where ThyssenKrupp Accessibility offers a maximum of 146 kg.
  • Both product offer the possibility to install the rail at the maximum angle of . inclination (EN 75°, ASME 45°). There is a small difference in the angle range, caused by differences in the design.
  • Both products a travelling speed that is below the maximum allowed by standards (EN . 0,15 m/s, ASME 0,4 m/s). Bruno specifies a speed of 0,08 m/s where ThyssenKrupp Accessibility offers a speed that is 50% higher.
  • Standards do not specify a maximum track length. Bruno offers a maximum track . length of 6,1 meters, where ThyssenKrupp Accessibility offers a maximum track length of 7,5 meters.
  • Regarding the temperature range of the outdoor chair versions (Bruno SRE-2000 . stainless steel, Levant Outdoor ABS Synthetic material) there is a difference. Where Bruno offers a minus temperature of 25°F, ThyssenKrupp Accessibility offers a Diano Chero a lemperature of 59F. Where Bruno offers a maximum temperature of 1259F, ThyssenKrupp Accessibility offers a maximum temperature of 140°F.

Small differences as listed above are subject to analysis of specific customer demands by the sales person.

Bruno's SRE-3000/ SRE-2000 and ThyssenKrupp Accessibility's Levant show less substantial equivalence on the features and characteristics listed below.

Although substantially different, both materials fulfil the requirements regarding the requested safety factors by the standards. The choice of material is subject to the taste of the end user.
  • Bruno offers as protection against spraying water class IPx3, where IPx5 is offered by . ThyssenKrupp Accessibility. IP55 is required by EN 81-40 referenced according IEC Friyssellicrapp Feesssive a required IP level. The substantial difference can be explained by the fact that Levant is a European design, that has to meet EN 81-40. The explained by the fact than be subject of analysis of specific customer demands by the sales person.

Bruno's SRE-3000/ SRE-2000 and ThyssenKrupp Accessibility's Levant show minor Differences in features and characteristics.
