The device description is a "Mechanical Wheelchair" and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing or performance studies typically associated with AI/ML devices.
No
The device, a mechanical wheelchair, assists mobility but does not treat or cure medical conditions, which is the primary function of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is a mechanical wheelchair, which is used to assist mobility, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states "Mechanical Wheelchair," which is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "assist the mobility of the elderly, sick, injured and disabled persons." This is a physical assistance function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is a "Mechanical Wheelchair." Wheelchairs are mobility aids, not diagnostic tools.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a person's health status or disease.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. A mechanical wheelchair does not fit this definition.
