The description details standard powered wheelchair technology controlled by a joystick and a controller, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
This device is a powered wheelchair designed for mobility and to assist users in standing, not for treating or curing a medical condition.
No
This device is a powered wheelchair designed for mobility, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly outlines numerous hardware components including a frame, motors, batteries, casters, a joystick, and brakes. While it includes a controller (which likely contains software), the device is fundamentally a physical, powered wheelchair.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The F5 Corpus VS powered wheelchair is a mobility aid designed to provide physical support and movement for individuals with limited mobility. It does not analyze any biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "to provide indoor mobility...to persons limited to a seating position". This is a functional purpose, not a diagnostic one.
The information provided about the device's mechanics, controls, and compliance with mobility standards further confirms its nature as a medical device for physical assistance, not an IVD.

Device Description
The F5 Corpus VS powered wheelchair is battery powered, front wheel motor driven and is controlled by the R-net 120 amp controller. The user interface is a joystick. The F5 Corpus VS is powered by two 12VDC, Group M24 batteries, with an approximate driving range on fully charged batteries of up to 25km (15.5 miles), depending on use and the terrain the chair is driven on. The chair frame is a steel construction and includes two front drive units (motor, gear and brake), two batteries and two rear pivoting casters. Depending on the user's needs, the joystick motor control is mounted to the left or right armrest. When the user activates the joystick, the controller receives a signal to release the brakes. With the brakes released, the chair is allowed to move in the joystick is actuated. When the user releases the joystick, the chair slows to a stop and the brakes are automatically re-engaged. The solenoid electromechanical brakes allow the user to stop by letting go of the joystick. F5 Corpus VS will enable the user to stand up, completely or partially, to facilitate reaching, working eye to eye with colleagues. The standing sequence is controlled by the joystick and gives the user the possibility to come to a standing position. The seating, chest support and knee stop stabilize the user during the stand-up or sitdown operation.

Dear Ivan Fernandez:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

Description of the F5 Corpus VS:
This submission covers the F5 Corpus VS device.
Indications for use:
The F5 Corpus VS powered wheelchair is to provide indoor mobility, including stand-up feature, to persons limited to a seating position that are capable of operating a powered wheelchair.
Environment of Use:
This wheelchair has been designed to accommodate both indoor use at care facilities and private residences. The chair is capable of handling different surfaces but performs optimally on firm even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and indoor flooring. The Chair is designed to
-overcome a maximum obstacle height of 3" (not in standing mode), -operate at a maximum incline angle for safe operation of 9°,

-Travel a maximum distance of 16 miles on fully charged battery.
Principles of Operation:
F5 Corpus VS Powered Wheelchair is battery powered, front wheel motor driven and is controlled by the R-net 120 amp controller. The user interface is a joystick.
The F5 Corpus VS is powered by two 12VDC, Group M24, approximate driving range on fully charged batteries is up to 25km (15.5 miles), depending on use and the terrain the chair is driven on. The chair frame is a steel construction and includes two front drive units (motor, gear and brake), two batteries and two rear pivoting casters. Depending on the user's needs, the joystick motor control is mounted to the left or right armrest.
When the user activates the joystick, the controller receives a signal to release the brakes. With the brakes released, the chair is allowed to move in the joystick is actuated. When the user releases the joystick, the chair slows to a stop and the brakes are automatically re-engaged. The solenoid electromechanical brakes allow the user to stop by letting go of the joystick.
F5 Corpus VS will enable the user to stand up, completely or partially, to facilitate reaching, working eye to eye with colleagues.
The standing sequence is controlled by the joystick and gives the user the possibility to come to a standing position. The seating, chest support and knee stop stabilize the user during the stand-up or sitdown operation.
Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The following tables provides a comparison of the predicate device Q700-UP M and the F5 Corpus VS to demonstrate substantial equivalence. F5 Corpus VS has the same general intended use and similar indications, principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate Ouickie® O700-UP M. The functional difference is small and do not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness because both wheelchairs pass the requirements in ISO 7176. Thus, the F5 Corpus VS is substantially equivalent to the Q700-UP M.
