Intended Use
Wheelchair mobility, either self-propelled or propelled by an attendant, for the physically impaired.
Device Description
The wheelchair is a standard lightweight manual folding chair that provides mobility based on an individual user's needs and capabilities. Since it has the same intended use as typical wheelchairs, its features are also comparable. A sling seat and backrest are affixed to a sturdy frame that is supported by two large rear wheels and two forward swivel caster wheels. The two side frames are connected by a horizontal cross brace, rather than a vertical cross brace, that can assume a folded configuration. The wheelchair accommodates removable armrests, detachable footrests, rear anti-tippers, push handles, and wheel locks.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical features and standard wheelchair testing, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
A wheelchair provides mobility for physically impaired individuals but does not directly treat or cure a disease or condition; therefore, it is considered a medical device but not a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this is a manual wheelchair providing mobility, not a device designed for diagnosis or detection of medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical wheelchair with hardware components like a frame, wheels, seat, and backrest. It does not describe software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Wheelchair mobility... for the physically impaired." This describes a device used to assist with physical movement and mobility, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical device for transportation and support, not a device that performs tests on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document 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 those samples
    • Providing diagnostic information

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device for mobility assistance, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The A/RT chair has a horizontal cross brace, rather than the typical vertical cross brace of most folding wheelchairs. This new feature has been tested for Design Validation/Verification and has performed acceptably. The results of the ANSI/RESNA two-drum test and subject evaluations support a determination of "substantially equivalent" for the ActivX wheelchair.

Quickie2 (K890050) |
| Intended Use: | Wheelchair mobility, either self-propelled or propelled by an
attendant, for the physically impaired. |
| Device Description: | The wheelchair is a standard lightweight manual folding chair that
provides mobility based on an individual user's needs and capabilities.
Since it has the same intended use as typical wheelchairs, its features
are also comparable. A sling seat and backrest are affixed to a sturdy
frame that is supported by two large rear wheels and two forward
swivel caster wheels. The two side frames are connected by a
horizontal cross brace, rather than a vertical cross brace, that can
assume a folded configuration. The wheelchair accommodates
removable armrests, detachable footrests, rear anti-tippers, push
handles, and wheel locks. |
| Comparison With
Predicate Device: | The ActivX wheelchair and the predicate device have an identical
intended use and are identical with respect to the way the user
propels and maneuvers the chair. The dimensions, construction
materials, and standard features/options of the two chairs are
substantially equivalent. The only difference between the A/RT
chair and the predicate device is in the way the chairs are opened and
folded. The A/RT chair has a horizontal cross brace, rather than the
typical vertical cross brace of most folding wheelchairs. This new
feature has been tested for Design Validation/Verification and has
performed acceptably. The results of the ANSI/RESNA two-drum
test and subject evaluations support a determination of "substantially
equivalent" for the ActivX wheelchair. |
