- Device Description: It's described as a "Mechanical Wheelchair." This is a mechanical device for physical support and movement.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description 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 the body
