The device description clearly details numerous hardware components including guide rails, drive rack, pinion gear, steel guide rails, haul ropes/cables, drive system, microprocessor, safety network switches, landing cam, battery, motor, controller, barrier arms motor, platform side-load motor, platform motor, batteries, call stations, and a wireless link. While it contains software, it is an integral part of a physical mechanical system.
Based on the provided information, the Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to mechanically transport a person up and down stairs. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
- Device Description: The description details mechanical components, a drive system, a control system, and safety features. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on biological analysis.
The Garaventa X3 is a mobility aid designed for transportation, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is intended to mechanically transport one person in a wheelchair or in a fold down seat equipped with a seat belt, up and down stairs in a private or public facility either indoors or outdoors, on straight stairways.
The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift uses two custom-cut extruded aluminum guide rails to guide and support the platform. An upper rail houses the drive rack that is engaged by the pinion gear providing platform movement as well as acting as the raceway for the control wiring. A lower rail stabilizes the platform keeping it in a level traveling position. The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift has steel guide rails and haul ropes or cables are used for those products instead of extruded aluminum.
The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift does not require a special cabinet to house the drive system. The drive system of the Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is an on-board rack and pinion drive system. The drive system is protected from accidental contact by the user by a conveyance "hard" cover.
The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is a computer-controlled device equipped with a microprocessor and the software resides inside the conveyance controller.
The safety network monitors several switches, landing cam, the battery voltage and motor current limits. These are independent of the microprocessor system and provide a positive electromechanical means to reliably and safely stop the lift in any possible hazardous situation.
The controller is located in the conveyance unit. It receives the operating commands from the call station or from the conveyance controller. The conveyance control module always has a priority over the call stations.
The conveyance controller is powered by 24V DC batteries that are attached to the conveyance. The conveyance controller also controls the "barrier arms" motor, platform side-load motor and the platform motor in either of the landings.
The status of the safety switches and the emergency stop button are monitored by the conveyance controller.
There is a call station located at each landing. The call station transmits commands using a wireless simplex channel while the conveyance continuously scans all RF signals (decoded) from both call stations.
Call stations allow the user to call and send the unit into the desired landing and also fold and unfold the platform. The call stations are linked with the conveyance through the wireless link. The system uses a 2.4 GHz ISM band using encoded pulse for each call station does not process the button / command but simply transfers the state of each button to the conveyance.
The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is provided in four models: one fully automatic, two semi automatic, and one fully manual.

Dear Mr. Jay Mansour:
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. Ilsting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
We note that your device exceeded the Limitations of exemptions from section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 CFR Part 890.9), and therefore required the submission and clearance of a premarket notification prior to commercial distribution in the United States. Future devices of this same type, that meet the exemption criteria and do not exceed the limitations of exemptions found in 21 CFR Part 890.9, will be exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the Act.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
