Device Description

Two Rivers Power Lift/Recline Chair

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called the "Two Rivers Power Lift/Recline Chair." It explicitly states that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. This type of document, particularly older 510(k) clearances, often does not include the detailed study information, acceptance criteria, or performance metrics that are typical for more recent PMA or de novo applications, or even more rigorous 510(k)s.

Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be extracted from the provided text.

Here is what can be inferred or explicitly stated based on the document's content:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not specified in the document.
  • Reported Device Performance: Not specified in the document.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not specified in the document. This type of detail is typically not included in a 510(k) clearance letter itself.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable/Not specified. For a device like a power lift/recline chair, "ground truth" and expert adjudication in the context of diagnostic performance are not relevant. Testing would likely involve engineering specifications, safety standards, and user-centric trials for functionality, none of which are detailed here.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable/Not specified.

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 a mechanical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

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

  • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not applicable. Performance would likely be assessed against engineering specifications, safety standards, and functional requirements, rather than diagnostic "ground truth."

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable/Not specified. This is a mechanical device, not a machine learning model.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable/Not specified.

Summary based on the document:

This document is a regulatory clearance for a physical medical device (a power lift/recline chair), not a diagnostic algorithm or AI system. Therefore, most of the requested information (related to AI performance, ground truth, expert opinions, and reader studies) does not apply or is not present in this type of regulatory correspondence. The approval is based on "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, meaning it performs similarly and has the same intended use. The detailed testing data supporting this equivalence is typically found in the 510(k) submission itself, not in the clearance letter.

Dear Mr. Whitaker:

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 control provisions of the Act. The general control 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.

Page 2 - Mr. Chris Whitaker

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".

Sincerely yours.
