No.
A wheelchair is a mobility aid, not a device used to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No
The device described is a manual wheelchair, a mobility aid for incapacitated or partially incapacitated individuals. Its function is to provide transportation, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide information for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "mechanical, manual, foldable wheelchair," which is a physical hardware device. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The provided description is for a mechanical, manual wheelchair. This is a device used on the human body to aid in mobility.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for providing mobility to incapacitated or partially incapacitated persons. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test.

The description clearly indicates a device for physical support and mobility, not for analyzing biological samples.
