The device, a wheelchair, provides mobility assistance but does not directly treat or cure any medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a manual wheelchair, described for mobility assistance and not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Mechanical Wheelchair," which is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for mobility assistance for persons requiring it. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: It's described as a "Mechanical Wheelchair," which is a physical assistive device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in the body
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This wheelchair does not fit that description.
