The intended use of the Model Top End Terminator Titanium Manual Wheelchair is to provide mobility to persons limited to a sitting position.
The Invacare Corporation Model Top End Terminator Titanium is a manually operated, self-propelled, manual, mechanical wheelchair. Its intended function and use is to provide mobility to persons who may be restricted to a sitting position.
The product consists of a titanium frame, large rear wheels with handrims for propelling the chair, and smaller front pivoting casters for steering and turning. The product is designed to be a lightweight, user adaptable, everyday wheelchair, for both indoor and outdoor use. It is a rigid or non-folding type wheelchair, which has a more sporty appearance than the traditional type of manual wheelchairs.
The Top End Terminator Titanium Wheelchair incorporates a one-piece frame. The frame is constructed from 1" diameter, 3-2.5 seamless titanium tubing that is brazed together. The wheelchair adjustable tension back upholstery consists of U850 ballistic material with fiber batting and the wheelchair adjustable tension seat upholstery consists of U240 nylon and webbing. Both upholstery types meet a minimum of the California Bureau of Home Furnishings 116 and 117 Flammability Standards.
This document is a 510(k) summary for a manual wheelchair, not a study describing the acceptance criteria and performance of a device using AI, imaging, or pathology data. Therefore, the requested information elements such as sample sizes, expert qualifications, and ground truth methods are not applicable to this submission.
However, I can provide information based on the performance data section of the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Meet applicable performance requirements specified in Rehabilitation Engineering Society of North America (RESNA) Standard ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol.1-1998 "Requirements and Test Methods for Wheelchairs (Including Scooters)." | The Invacare Top End Terminator SS Manual Wheelchair meets the applicable performance requirements specified in RESNA Standard ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol.1-1998. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Not Applicable. This document pertains to a physical medical device (manual wheelchair) and its compliance with established performance standards for such devices, not a study involving a test set of data samples in the context of AI or imaging.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not Applicable. Ground truth in the context of this document refers to the established performance requirements of the RESNA standard, not expert consensus on data interpretation.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not Applicable. This is not a study involving adjudication of interpretations. Compliance with the RESNA standard is determined through defined test methods rather than adjudication.
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 document is for a manual wheelchair and does not involve AI or human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. This document is for a manual wheelchair and does not involve an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" in this context is the Rehabilitation Engineering Society of North America (RESNA) Standard ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol.1-1998 "Requirements and Test Methods for Wheelchairs (Including Scooters)." This standard defines the performance criteria and test methods that wheelchairs must meet.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. This document refers to a physical device and its compliance with a standard, not machine learning model training.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. No training set as this is not a machine learning study.

Dear Ms. Farrow:
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 legally marketed predicate 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 requirements, 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.
