Intended Use
The intended function and use is to provide mobility to persons limited to a sitting position that have the capability of operating a powered wheelchair.
Device Description
The purpose of this pre-market notification is to request marketing clearance from FDA to change the controller of certain power wheelchairs models, manufactured by Invacare Corporation, which have already been granted marketing clearance by FDA under separate submissions. The controller change applies to the Invacare Pronto Powered Wheelchair Series (K012927, 9/19/2001), and the Nutron Powered Wheelchair Series (K900565, 2/15/1990). Each of these devices are battery powered, motorized mobility vehicles. Their intended function and use, which has not changed, is to provide mobility and transportation to physically challenged persons that may be restricted to a seated position. The controller for the Nutron and Pronto Series of Wheelchairs is being modified from the Invacare MKIV-RII controller to the Invacare MKV-NX controller. The Invacare MKV-NX controller, which is the subject of this premarket notification, is an electronic, microcomputer based. motion control device designed for use with Invacare powered wheelchairs. The intended function of the controller is to activate and control powered wheelchair motions. Additionally, it provides a method of adjusting, selecting and programming certain powered wheelchair performance characteristics to better suit the specific control needs of the user. Two versions of the controller will be available. These are the MKV-NX and the MKY-NX LP. The MKV NX version has full programming capability, while the MKV-NX LP version has limited programming capability. Programming capability for the LP version is limited to forward speed, turning speed, and reverse speed only. Otherwise the controllers are identical. The Invacare MKV-NX and MKV-NX LP controllers are programmed using the Invacare MIV remote programmer, previously cleared with the Model MCC-MKIV Micro Computer Control (K940972, 6/2/1994). The controller software and electronics will not allow wheelchair operation during programming.
More Information

No
The description focuses on a microcomputer-based motion controller with programming capabilities for basic wheelchair performance characteristics (speed, turning). There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest adaptive learning or intelligent decision-making beyond pre-programmed parameters.

No.
The device is a controller for a powered wheelchair, which provides mobility, not a direct therapeutic benefit for a medical condition.

No

The device is a controller for powered wheelchairs, designed to provide mobility and transportation. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states that the subject of the premarket notification is an electronic, microcomputer based motion control device, which is a hardware component, not solely software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
  • Device Function: The described device is a controller for a powered wheelchair. Its function is to provide mobility and transportation to individuals with physical limitations.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The text clearly states the device's purpose is to control wheelchair motion and adjust performance characteristics. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or diagnosing any medical condition.

The device falls under the category of a mobility aid or assistive technology, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

A. Device Description

The purpose of this pre-market notification is to request marketing clearance from FDA to change the controller of certain power wheelchairs models, manufactured by Invacare Corporation, which have already been granted marketing clearance by FDA under separate submissions

The controller change applies to the Invacare Pronto Powered Wheelchair Series (K012927, 9/19/2001), and the Nutron Powered Wheelchair Series (K900565, 2/15/1990). Each of these devices are battery powered, motorized mobility vehicles. Their intended function and use, which has not changed, is to provide mobility and transportation to physically challenged persons that may be restricted to a seated position.

The controller for the Nutron and Pronto Series of Wheelchairs is being modified from the Invacare MKIV-RII controller to the Invacare MKV-NX controller. The Invacare MKV-NX controller, which is the subject of this premarket notification, is an electronic, microcomputer based. motion control device designed for use with Invacare powered wheelchairs. The intended function of the controller is to activate and control powered wheelchair motions. Additionally, it provides a method of adjusting, selecting and programming certain powered wheelchair performance characteristics to better suit the specific control needs of the user.

Two versions of the controller will be available. These are the MKV-NX and the MKY-NX LP. The MKV NX version has full programming capability, while the MKV-NX LP version has limited programming capability. Programming capability for the LP version is limited to forward speed, turning speed, and reverse speed only. Otherwise the controllers are identical.

The Invacare MKV-NX and MKV-NX LP controllers are programmed using the Invacare MIV remote programmer, previously cleared with the Model MCC-MKIV Micro Computer Control (K940972, 6/2/1994). The controller software and electronics will not allow wheelchair operation during programming.

B. Substantial Equivalence

The Invacare powered wheelchairs with the MK-NX controller are substantially equivalent to devices that are currently being legally marketed within the United States, including Invacare Xterra GT power wheelchair (K012909, 10/24/2001) and the Invacare Pronto M71 power wheelchair (K012927).

PERFORMANCE DATA

Dear Ms. Farrow:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
