The description mentions "microprocessor-controlled" speed, acceleration, and deceleration, which indicates traditional programming and control systems, not AI/ML. There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition typically associated with AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended for "medical purposes to provide a means for a disabled person to take over the propulsion of the wheelchair and increase mobility and flexibility."
No
Explanation: The device is a power-wheelchair-conversion-kit designed to provide mobility for disabled persons, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of powered wheels, a control unit, a battery pack, a battery charger, and a bag, which are all hardware components. The performance studies also focus on the physical and electrical aspects of the device, not solely software validation.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "medical purposes to provide a means for a disabled person to take over the propulsion of the wheelchair and increase mobility and flexibility." This describes a device used on a person to assist with mobility, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description details a power-wheelchair-conversion-kit with powered wheels, a control unit, and a battery pack. This aligns with a mobility aid, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVDs, such as:
- Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information
- Using reagents or assays
- Performing tests in vitro
The performance studies mentioned are related to the mechanical, electrical, and safety aspects of a mobility device, not the analytical or clinical performance of a diagnostic test.

Device Description
The subject devices SOLO, SOLO+ and SERVO are power-wheelchair-conversion-kits that add powered propulsion to a manual wheelchair, thereby, turning a manual wheelchair into a powered wheelchair. They consist of two powered wheels (each incorporating an electrical motor) a control unit with its bracket and a battery pack. A battery charger and a bag for the battery pack are included in the delivery as well.
The powered wheels substitute the conventional manual wheels from selected wheelchairs. The battery-pack and the controller-unit can easily be attached to the wheelchair.
Speed, acceleration and deceleration are microprocessor-controlled. A preselection of the maximum speed can be done with buttons on the control unit. The wheelchair will accelerate or drive with steady speed when the joystick (SOLO and SOLO+) or the hand-rims (SERVO) are pushed into the travel-direction.
The motors will steadily reduce the driving force until the wheelchair stops if no driving-signal (deflection of the joystick or the rim) is provided. The safety-brakes lock automatically when the wheelchair stopped (SOLO, SOLO+). The manual parking brakes can also be used to prevent unintended movement.
After ten minutes of non-use the device turns off automatically. The powered wheels can be disengaged if the user wants to drive with manual propulsion, only.

The Chart summarizes technical similarities and differences:
Differences:
| Differences | Discussion |
|---|---|
| Wheel size | The subject and the predicate devices are available with 24-inch wheels. The |
| predicate device is also available with smaller 22-inch wheels. Some user may | |
| choose smaller wheels to reach the floor with their feet for foot-propulsion or | |
| simply because they feel a 24-inch wheelchair is too large. However, the | |
| wheel-size has no influence on the safety of the powered propulsion. | |
| Weight differences | The weight differences occur from design details. The subject devices are able |
| to carry a higher max. load while the basic material is the same. Therefore, the | |
| design is reinforced, more rigged and consequently a bit heavier. The weight | |
| differences have no negative influence on the safety of the subject devices. | |
| Max. user weight | The subject devices are designed to carry a higher user-weight. This is actually |
| an advantage. It lowers the risk of unintended overloading the wheelchair. All | |
| mechanical and driving characteristics are well approved to ensure a safe use | |
| under the max. load. The differences have no negative influence on the safety. |

Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image is a square logo with a blue background and white text. The text "AAT" is prominently displayed in the lower portion of the logo. The upper-right corner of the logo has a rounded edge, giving it a modern and clean appearance.
| Total weight | The total weight of the subject devices is consequently higher because of the
higher product-weight and max. user-weight. The differences have no negative
influence on the safety. |
|------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Theoretical driving
range | The theoretical driving distance from our subject devices differ from the
predicate device because of different weight capacities and the possibility to
choose different batteries. This difference has no influence on the safety of the
devices. It only has an influence on the comfort of the devices. The user is free
to choose the configuration that suits his habits the best. The user is able to
easily reset the wheels to manual propulsion at any time if the batteries run out
of energy. |
| Battery capacity | The user of the SOLO, SOLO+ and SERVO can choose between Pb-batteries
and Li-lon batteries. Both battery types are approved and have their
advantages. While the Pb-battery is cheaper and has a higher capacity, the Li-
lon battery is faster recharged, less heavy and suitable for more recharges.
The user should choose the configuration that suits his habits the best. The
differences have no influence on the safety of the devices. |
| Battery technology | The predicate device is available with Li-Ion battery, only. The subject devices
are also available with Pb-batteries. Both battery types are approved and have
their advantages. While the Pb-battery is cheaper and has a higher capacity,
the Li-Ion battery is faster recharged, less heavy and suitable for more
recharges. The user should choose the configuration that suits his habits the
best. The differences have no influence on the safety of the devices. |
| Motor | While the material and design is similar, the electrical data differ. The motor-
characteristics may have little influence on driving characteristics but they don't
result it any safety differences. |
| User Interface | The SOLO and SOLO+ have a Joystick to steer the wheelchair. User with a
limited capability to use the rim can steer the wheelchair like a classical
powered wheelchair with a joystick. This opportunity has no negative influence
on the safety of the device. It expands the range of users. |
