1.5 Conclusions
The Stellar LEAP has substantially equivalent indications and principle of operation to the currently marketed Stellar Tilt. While there are design differences in the frame configuration. materials of construction, joining methods and tilt features, the Stellar LEAP has been evaluated through ISO 14971 - Application of risk management to medical devices and design verification and validation (DV&V) testing was carried out and showed the Stellar LEAP performed compliant to ISO 7176-1, 3. 5. 7. 8. 11. 13. 15. 16 and 19. The subject device has the same intended use, principles of operation, and technological characteristics to the predicate device. Furthermore, similar to the reference device, Elevation, the Stellar LEAP utilizes gas struts to provide anterior tilting function capability. Additionally, the biocompatibility assessment of the Stellar LEAP was carried out in consideration of the safe history of use of these patient contacting materials with other marketed PDG wheelchairs. Thus the Stellar LEAP raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device and is, therefore, substantially equivalent.
