No
The provided text describes a standard wheelchair and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related technologies.

No
The device, a wheelchair, provides mobility but does not actively treat or mitigate a disease, injury, or disability. Its function is assistive rather than therapeutic.

No
Explanation: The intended use of the Medline Excel Wheelchairs is to provide mobility, which is a supportive function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of identifying, detecting, or monitoring any medical conditions.

No

The intended use clearly describes a physical device (wheelchair) for mobility, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position." This is a mechanical function for physical support and movement.
  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health status, diagnose diseases, or monitor treatment.

The description of the wheelchair's function clearly falls outside the scope of an IVD.
