Intended Use
The TRX Vertical Positioner is appropriate for use by any individual who drives a power wheelchair and who desires or requires a change of position without having to utilize the services of an attendant. Needs for position changes include: - All positioning benefits associated with the tilt/recline product - - Comfort As with any individual able-bodied or disabled changes in position are necessary to maintain a state of comfort. - Repositioning Individuals without adequate upper-body stability can be tilted to allow gravity to hold them in position. - Pressure relief Individuals who wish, from time to time, to redistribute pressures from one area of the body to another, can do so by tilting, reclining or vertical positioning. By changing the individual's orientation in space, pressures caused by gravity will shift. - Positioning/Versatility Individuals are able to reach higher elevations, increasing their range of motion and accessibility. The TRX Vertical Positioner is used to add the vertical positioning function to the tilt, recline, and elevating functions already available in with the TRX Power Positioning System defined in K021264. Motion Concepts makes no claims as to the therapeutic effectiveness of the products. Our only claims relate to the ability of the products to provide safe and reliable powered repositioning on the equipment onto which they are installed. TRX Vertical Positioners are to be installed ONLY by qualified Dealers. The above indications for use are identical to those of the Levo Mobile LCM defined in K963817 to which we are claiming substantial equivalence.
Device Description
The TRX Vertical Positioner is used to add the vertical positioning function to the tilt, recline. and elevating functions already available in with the TRX Power Positioning System defined in K021264. The Vertical Positioner functions by coordinating the elevating and reclining motion with an anterior tilt motion to change the user from an upright seated position to a vertical position and back again. The TRX Vertical Positioner is assembled using primarily steel and aluminum, powder coated parts. The vertical positioning is be activated using TRx switches consisting of either push buttons or togale switches, or through the wheelchair joystick. Additional safety features include a drive lock-out which prevents the user from driving the power chair while tilted beyond a pre-set limit of 20° from the vertical or elevated beyond 1/2". The system also includes extensions for the existing front anti-tipper wheels to provide additional front stability, and a lockout for the active track suspension in the vertical positioning mode. Electrical components are a maximum of 24 volts with a fuse between the batteries and the relay box and current limiter built into the relay box. Stability of the TRX Vertical Positioner was tested in our facility to ensure that the safety of the power wheelchair was not compromised by the addition of the system.

The manufacturer explicitly states, "Motion Concepts makes no claims as to the therapeutic effectiveness of the products."

No

The document explicitly states that Motion Concepts "makes no claims as to the therapeutic effectiveness of the products," and its claims "relate to the ability of the products to provide safe and reliable powered repositioning." The primary purpose of the device is to change position for comfort, repositioning, pressure relief, and increased accessibility, which are functions of a medical device but not inherently diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it is assembled using primarily steel and aluminum parts, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The TRX Vertical Positioner is a mechanical system designed to change the position of a power wheelchair user. It focuses on physical positioning for comfort, pressure relief, and accessibility.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description does not mention any interaction with biological samples or any form of diagnostic testing.

The device is a medical device, specifically a power wheelchair accessory for positioning, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Substantial Equivalence Comparison:

1100315 Ontario Limited claims that our product is substantially equivalent to the Mobile LCM as manufactured by Levo. The pre-existing device is classified as Class I as listed in 21 CFR Parts 890.3860. The Levo 510(k) document control number is K963817.

Both the TRx Vertical Positioner and the Levo Mobile LCM systems are devices that are used on power wheelchairs in order to provide the user with the capability to change his/her position from a seated position to a vertical position and back. Both products use similar components. Both are fabricated from steel and aluminum and have a generally similar mechanical operation. Both systems combine the anterior tilting and reclining action to achieve a vertical position.

The following is a comparison of the Mobile LCM and the TRx Vertical Positioner.

Dear Mr. Ciolfe:

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.
