Intended Use
The TEFTEC Corporation FirstClass™ Power Tilt & Recline Seating System has been designed for use by anyone needing pressure relief while in a seated position. The FirstClass™ Power Tilt & Recline Seating System could provide pressure relief by postural change for persons having the following condition or injury: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Head Injury (CHI) Muscular Dystrophy (MD) Cerebral Palsy (CP) Hyper Reflexia Chronic Pain Burn Trauma Patient Severe Scar Tissue build up Brown Sequard's Syndrome Multiple Sclerosis Heterotrophic Ossification Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Quadriplegia Cerebral Palsy Paraplegia Proximal Extremity Weakness Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA or Stroke) This is not meant to be an all-inclusive list, anyone needing pressure relief or positional change that is unable to facilitate those movements independently would be able to accomplish them with this unit. This would usually be decided by clinical evaluation of the client's strength, sensation level, upper extremity strength, mobility needs and seating needs.

No
The summary describes a power tilt and recline seating system for pressure relief and positional change, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making.

Yes
The device is intended to provide pressure relief and positional changes for individuals with various medical conditions and injuries, directly contributing to their therapeutic care and management of symptoms.

No
The device is described as a seating system designed for pressure relief through postural changes for individuals with various conditions, and its use is typically determined by a clinical evaluation. It does not perform any diagnostic functions.

No

The device description is not available, but the intended use clearly describes a "Power Tilt & Recline Seating System," which is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the TEFTEC Corporation FirstClass™ Power Tilt & Recline Seating System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a device designed for pressure relief and positional change for individuals with various physical conditions. This involves supporting and positioning the body, which is a mechanical function.
  • 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 physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality.
    • Being used in vitro (outside the living body).

The device is clearly intended for external use to support and reposition a person, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Finch:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
