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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide auxiliary power to manual wheelchairs to reduce the pushing power needed by users. This is a mechanical and electrical function related to mobility, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details mechanical and electrical components like a drive wheel, motor, battery, and controls. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: 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 specific substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on biological analysis.

The device is clearly a mobility aid designed to assist wheelchair users.

The TWIST and TWIST R devices are intended to provide auxiliary power to manual wheelchairs to reduce the pushing power needed by their users.

TWIST and TWIST R devices are designed to provide support to active wheelchair users who are physically and mentally able to safely control a manual wheelchair in typical situations, including inclines, even manually.

2.2 INTENDED USE

The TWIST and TWIST R are medical devices for active wheelchair users with a user weight of 120 kgs and who are reliant on a wheelchair as a result of their disability. The TWIST R are add-on drive for wheelchairs that are attached to a manual wheelchair, converting it into an electrically driven wheelchair and thus significantly increasing the wheelchair user's mobility and flexibility.

The TWIST and TWIST R must always be used, transported, maintained and serviced carefully to keep their performance, efficiency and safety. The TWIST R must only be attached to and operated with wheelchairs that are selected by the specialist dealer or by Klaxon itself.

2.3 VARIATIONS

TWIST is available in two (2) variations (TWIST and TWIST R).

The main difference between TWIST R is given by the number of possible configurations. The TWIST has five (5) possible configurations (following table, points 1 to 5)

The TWIST R has two (2) possible configurations (following table, points 6 and 7). It is basically a simplified system available for the rear installation only.

The configurations could be considered as variations themselves, it is not possible to assign to the single configuration a Commercial name, because each product variation (TWIST R) can be sold with all the components to be used in all the available configurations.

2.5.4 Cybersecurity Assessment

The Klaxon TWIST R use the wireless communication technology known as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). BLE allows two devices to exchange information in real time.

BLE is used to control the device at all times through the use of a controller or handlebar. The communication is encrypted and requires a preexisting pairing to activate the motor.

Due to the communication structure of the Klaxon TWIST R, the BLE communication happens in a different and independent control unit from the motor drive unit.

This means that in the unlikely event of a successful attack the device would be safely stopped and all power is removed from the motor. In this state no energy is provided to the motor and any unintended movement is impossible.

Even in the case of a successful attack to imitate a BLE command, the device would not be able of the established limits (speed, acceleration, braking, ecc.).

In the case unforeseen vulnerabilities are found, the firmware on the TWIST R can be fully patched remotely by the user using Over-The-Air updates.

Any vulnerabilities would not be exploited remotely and any attack requires that the device and that the attacker is within close physical proximity (i.e., within Bluetooth range) of the device.

The chipset used on the Klaxon TWIST R is up to date with modern vulnerabilities of the BLE stack and in particular already implements patches to the SweynTooth vulnerabilities.

The detail of the cybersecurity assessment according to FDA guidelines is available in the e-Star submission for the 510(k) K240267 (Klaxon TWIST and TWIST R).
