No
The description focuses on mechanical and electrical components for elevating a wheelchair seat and does not mention any AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is designed to elevate a patient in a wheelchair to a greater height, which is a functional enhancement for mobility and access, not a treatment or diagnosis of a disease or condition.

No

The device description indicates that the "Lift Master" is an elevating power seat assembly for wheelchairs, designed to elevate patients to a greater height. Its function is to provide mobility assistance and improve accessibility, not to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a ball drive pedestal actuator, aluminum and steel brackets, safety cable, and wiring harness, indicating it is a hardware device with potentially integrated software for control.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to elevate patients in a wheelchair. This is a mechanical function related to mobility and positioning, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details mechanical and electrical components (actuator, brackets, wiring harness) and their function in elevating a seat. There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any components used for testing biological samples.
  • 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 substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The device is clearly a mechanical aid for mobility and positioning, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.
