Intended Use
The intended use of the K450 powered wheelchair is to provide outdoor and indoor mobility to persons limited to a seated position that are capable of operating a powered wheelchair.
Device Story
K450 is a battery-powered, rear-wheel motor-driven wheelchair. User operates the device via a joystick interface mounted on the armrest. Input from the joystick is processed by a PG R-net PM120 amp controller. Actuating the joystick signals the controller to release solenoid electromechanical brakes, allowing movement; releasing the joystick slows the chair to a stop and automatically re-engages brakes. Powered by two 12VDC 60Ah batteries with a range of up to 26.9 km. Frame is welded steel with rear drive units and front pivoting casters. Used in indoor and outdoor environments by the patient. Output is physical mobility; healthcare providers do not interact with device output for clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device functioned as intended in all instances.
Technological Characteristics
Welded steel frame; rear-wheel drive; two 12VDC 60Ah Group M34 batteries; PG R-net PM120 amp controller; solenoid electromechanical brakes; joystick user interface; front pivoting casters.
