The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components of a standard power wheelchair and its control system. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest intelligent or adaptive control beyond basic joystick operation.
No
The device is a power wheelchair intended for mobility, not for treating or preventing a medical condition.
No
The LEVO MAX power wheelchair is designed to provide mobility for individuals who are limited to a sitting position. It is a mobility aid, not a device used to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.
No
The device description clearly outlines numerous hardware components including a base with drive units, batteries, wheels, and a control system with integrated joystick. The performance studies also focus on hardware-related testing like stability, brakes, and energy consumption.
No, 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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The LEVO MAX power wheelchair is a mobility device designed to help individuals with limited mobility move around. It does not perform any tests on biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for providing indoor and outdoor mobility to persons limited to a sitting position.
- Device Description: The description details the mechanical and electrical components of a wheelchair, not diagnostic testing equipment.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, performing tests, or providing diagnostic information.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the LEVO MAX power wheelchair is a mobility aid, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The LEVO MAX is substantially equivalent to the Permobil M400(#K123290). The LEVO MAX has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics and principles of operation. The minor technological differences between the LEVO MAX and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the LEVO MAX is as safe and effective as its predicate devices. Thus, the LEVO MAX, Permobil M400 are substantially equivalent.
