The device description clearly describes a physical belt with straps, indicating it is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "help secure the patient while seated in a wheelchair or geriatric chair." This is a physical restraint or positioning device used on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a padded belt with straps for physical attachment to a chair.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
    • Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or condition based on in vitro analysis.
    • Any laboratory or analytical procedures.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic or other health-related information. The Heelbo Security Belt is a physical support/restraint device used on the body.
