The summary describes a mechanical lift and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
The device is described as a 'Vertical Platform Lift' intended to mechanically transport a person. There is no indication that it diagnoses, treats, or prevents a disease or condition, or affects the structure or function of the body, which are characteristics of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to mechanically transport a person, which is a functional purpose, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of identifying, analyzing, or monitoring any medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states "Vertical Platform Lift," which is a mechanical device, not software. The intended use also describes mechanical transport.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to mechanically transport a person over stairs. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
- Device Description: It's described as a Vertical Platform Lift, which is a mechanical device for transportation.
- 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 diseases, conditions, or states of health
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions
Therefore, the Vertical Lift is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

§ 890.3930 Wheelchair elevator.
(a)
Permanently mounted wheelchair platform lift —(1)Identification. A permanently mounted wheelchair platform lift is a motorized vertical or inclined platform lift device permanently installed in one location that is intended for use in mitigating mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by providing a guided platform to move a person from one level to another, with or without a wheelchair.(2)
Classification. Class II. The permanently mounted wheelchair platform lift is exempt from premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to § 890.9 and the following conditions for exemption:(i) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must demonstrate that the safety controls are adequate to prevent a free fall of the platform in the event of a device failure;
(ii) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must demonstrate the ability of the device to withstand the rated load with an appropriate factor of safety;
(iii) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must demonstrate the ability of the enclosures to prevent the user from falling from the device; and
(iv) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of AAMI/ANSI/IEC 60601-1-2, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety—Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility—Requirements and Tests,” and ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety.
(b)
Portable wheelchair elevators —(1)Identification. A portable wheelchair elevator is a motorized lift device that is not permanently mounted in one location and that is intended for use in mitigating mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by providing a means to move a person, with or without a wheelchair, from one level to another (e.g., portable platform lifts, attendant-operated stair climbing devices for wheelchairs).(2)
Classification. Class II.
