No
The provided text describes a simple mechanical device for postural support in a wheelchair and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The text explicitly states the device provides "postural support and a surface for activities," which are functional aids, not therapeutic interventions aimed at treating a disease or condition. It also mentions it could be a "restraint."

No

The device is described as providing "anterior postural support" and a "surface for activities," and also notes it "may be considered a restraint." These descriptions indicate a physical support or assistive device, not one used for diagnosis. There is no mention of detecting, analyzing, or identifying medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical product ("inserted into the arms of the wheelchair compressing the foam") which is a hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is to provide anterior postural support and a surface for activities in a wheelchair. This is a physical support function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical product inserted into a wheelchair for support. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD-related terms: The text does not contain any terms typically associated with IVDs, such as "in vitro," "diagnostic," "assay," "reagent," "sample," "analyte," etc.

Therefore, the device described is a medical device for physical support, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Trade Name: Posey® Hugger Common Name: Hugger Classification Name: Wheelchair Accessory

The devices included in this 510(k) submission provide anterior postural support, The products are inserted into the arms of the wheelchair compressing the foam and releasing it once in position. If the patient cannot easily self release the product, it may be considered a restraint.

These products are intended to provide postural support and a surface for activities,

The devices used for comparative purposes are identical to the huggers as described in this submission and produced or sold by the J.T. Posey Co. The June 13, 1996 Meeting Minutes, HIMA Body Holder Task Force and FDA CDRH established the rationale for which devices would be used for companson:

"Predicate device

FDA indicated that it would be appropriate for manufacturers to reference their current products as legally marketed devices for comparison purposes in their submissions. It would also be appropriate to reference any approved 510(k)s that manufacturers have submitted for their products."

The huggers are currently exempt from 510(k) Premarket Notification Procedures and Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations and are legally marketed by JT Posey Company as of the date of this submission, August 30,1996.
