Foot operated wheel locks provide easy operation.

Positioning options include H-harness, two point seat belt, three point seat belt with crotch pad additional non-positioning accessories include under seat storage basket, adjustable I.V. Pole.

Trekker transit option TR12T and TR14T transit models are identical to the TR12 and TR14 except for the factory installation of four (4) tie-down anchors and required labeling. They meet the requirements for use as seating in motor vehicles when used in conjunction with the vehicle supplied four (4) wheelchair tie-down system that attaches to the four (4) transport anchors on the wheelchair and a three (3) point occupant restraint system in accordance with SAE J2249 or WC4:2012 section 18 that creates the shoulder and lap belt combination that attaches to the wheelchair or to the floor of the vehicle.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the Convaid Trekker manual wheelchairs (TR12, TR14, TR12T, TR14T) and their substantial equivalence to the predicate device, the Convaid Champ (CH10, CH10T). Since this is a 510(k) premarket notification for a Class I device, the focus is on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving efficacy through clinical studies for a novel device. Therefore, the information provided below will reflect this specific regulatory context.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for the Convaid Trekker wheelchairs are defined by their compliance with various industry standards, primarily from ANSI-RESNA and ISO. The "reported device performance" is essentially the statement of compliance to these standards and the determination of substantial equivalence.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of number of manufactured units tested. Instead, it states that Convaid's Trekker manual wheelchairs "meet the applicable performance requirements as specified below," referring to the list of ANSI-RESNA and ISO standards. This implies that testing was conducted on representative units of the Trekker models to demonstrate compliance with these engineering and safety standards. The specific number of units tested per standard is not detailed in this summary.
  • Data Provenance: The data provenance is from non-clinical testing conducted by the manufacturer, Convaid Products Inc., to demonstrate compliance with recognized industry standards. The country of origin of the data is implicitly the United States (where Convaid is based and where the FDA evaluates the submission). The testing is prospective in the sense that it was performed specifically for this 510(k) submission to demonstrate compliance.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This type of information is generally not applicable to a 510(k) submission for a Class I mechanical device like a wheelchair. "Ground truth" in this context refers to compliance with established engineering and safety standards, which is typically validated through objective laboratory testing and measurements. Expert consensus or clinical adjudication is not typically used to establish ground truth for adherence to these types of performance standards. The "experts" involved would be qualified test engineers and technicians performing the standard-defined tests.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable in the context of demonstrating compliance with engineering and safety standards. The "adjudication" is essentially the testing laboratory reporting whether the device passed or failed each specific requirement of the cited standards.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This is not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive device. It is a mechanical wheelchair.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is a mechanical wheelchair, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" used for this device's acceptance is adherence to the technical, safety, and performance requirements specified in the following industry standards:

  • ANSI-RESNA WC 1:2009 series (Sections 1, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 16, 22, 26) - These are likely standards related to general wheelchair performance, stability, durability, strength, and other mechanical aspects.
  • ANSI-RESNA WC 2:2009-3 (likely for pediatric or specific user group wheelchairs)
  • RESNA WC4:2012 section 19 - Specifically for wheelchairs used as seats in motor vehicles (for the Trekker Transit models).
  • WCVol.1 section 19:2000 - The equivalent standard for the predicate Champ Transit models.
  • ISO 10993-5 (Biocompatibility) - Specifically for in vitro cytotoxicity testing of patient-contacting materials.

The "ground truth" is verified by objective measurements and tests according to the methodology outlined in these standards.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a physical device, and there is no "training set" in the machine learning sense. The design and manufacturing processes are refined through engineering development and testing, not algorithmic training.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no "training set." The design and validation of the device are based on engineering principles and compliance with established standards, which serve as the "ground truth" for its safety and performance.

G: Comparison of device characteristics to predicate

The Trekker models have similar characteristics (see comparison chart pages 4 and 5 this section), technology and are constructed of identical materials as the Convaid Champ models.

The Trekker and the Champ have lightweight tubular powder coated 6061 aluminum frames. They are designed to be compact folding for easy stowage and transport. The Trekker and the Champ models have removable seating modules in addition the Trekker's seating module can be used facing in either direction and the Champ models do not have this ability. The reversible seat module poses no new safety issues. The Trekker models fold using pivoting push handles tubes and side brackets and the Champ models uses a center cross brace to allow it to fold. These are both common designs in use today on folding non-rigid wheelchairs and the difference poses no additional risk. Both the Trekker and the Champ have tilt and recline functions, both have similar elevating height adjustable foot supports, headrest and push handle (optional on the Champ). Both having the same positioning options available H-harness, two or three point lap belts, foot positioners and depth adiustable crotch pad. The Trekker has two additional options available an I.V. Pole and an under seat storage basket, these options pose no additional risks.

The Champ models have a ten (10) inch seat width and the Trekker models have a twelve (12) and fourteen (14) inch seat widths. The different sizes are designed to accommodate different ranges of users and pose no additional risks as indicated by testing to RESNA wheelchair standards.

The Champ models have the availability of self or attendant propulsion with the optional push handle where as the Trekker models are only attendant propelled. This single function poses no additional risk to the device. They both have small casters in the front for steering and maneuverability and larger wheels in the back. The attendant propelled operating characteristics and maneuverability is equivalent and is recommended for indoor or outdoor use on flat firm terrain.

The optional transit models designated with a "T" after the model number can be used as seating in a motor vehicle per ANSI-RESNA WC Vol-1-section 19:2000 Champ or WC4:2012 section 19 for the Trekker. Both the Trekker optional transit models TR12T, TR14T and the Champ CH10T optional transit model have the addition of four (4) tiedown anchors factory installed to the standard units, no other structural modification are performed. They were tested with an approved four (4) wheelchair tie-down system and a three (3) point occupant restraint system in accordance with SAE J2249or WC4:2012 section 18.

Both the Trekker and the Champ have the same intended use to provide mobility to persons with physical disabilities who are partially or permanently non-ambulatory and limited to a sitting position and as use as seating in motor vehicles.
