No
The description focuses on mechanical functions (motors, wheels) and does not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML.

No.
The device description and intended use indicate it is a hospital bed with adjustable contours and mobility, which assists patient care but does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to adjust the bed's surface contour and move it, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes "bed using built-in electric motors and wheels," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to adjust the surface contour of a bed and move it. This is a physical manipulation of a medical device for patient comfort and mobility, not for examining specimens from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components of the bed (motors, wheels).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or providing diagnostic results.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.
