No
Explanation: The Panther Wheelchair is described as a device to assist with mobility needs, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states "Panther Wheelchair," which is a physical mobility device and not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to assist with mobility for individuals with physical impairments. This is a mechanical function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: It's described as a wheelchair, which is a mobility aid.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a disease, condition, or state of health
    • Using reagents or other in vitro methods

Therefore, the Panther Wheelchair falls under the category of a medical device, but specifically a mobility aid, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
