Intended Use
The LEVO combi stand-up electrical power wheelchair is a product which changes peoples position not only from sitting to standing and standing to sitting but also reclines and lifts the seat and back position. The product provides indoor and outdoor mobility.
Device Description
The LEVO combi powered wheelchair is centre wheel driven, battery powered, motor driven and is controlled by the Penny & Giles compact power wheelchair controller Pilot+. The joystick is integrated in the controller. The wheelchair is powered by two 12V55Ah batteries with a theoretical driving range of 35km on the fully charged batteries. The wheelchair consists of the following basic sub-sections: - Base with two direct-drive units with integrated parking brakes, two 12V55Ah batteries, two 14"x2¾" centre wheels, two 8"x2" front wheels, and one 5½"x1½" rear wheel with suspension. - Penny & Giles power electronics Pilot+. - Seating system including mechanisms for all possible positions, stand-up actuator and optional lift and/or backrest actuator. The base is of welded steel construction and includes the base frame, front castor wheels, centre driving wheels with drive unit (motor/gear/brakes), batteries and pivoting rear castor. The motor controller is mounted to the left or right armrest, depending on the user's needs.

No
Therapeutic devices are used to treat diseases or conditions, whereas this device provides mobility and positional changes for individuals who cannot stand or move independently.

No

The device description clearly states that the LEVO combi powered wheelchair is a mobility device designed to change user positions and provide indoor and outdoor mobility. Its components and functions (e.g., motor-driven, joystick controlled, batteries, wheels) are all related to physical movement and positioning, not to identifying or analyzing medical conditions or biological processes.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, hardware-based medical device (a powered wheelchair) with mechanical and electrical components, not solely software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The LEVO combi stand-up electrical power wheelchair is a mobility device designed to assist individuals with physical limitations in moving and changing positions. It operates externally to the body and does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes providing mobility and position changes for individuals who cannot stand on their own. This is a functional aid, not a diagnostic tool.

The description of the device, its components, and its intended use all point to it being a medical device for mobility and support, not an IVD.

| Device Name: | LEVO combi |
| Classification Name: | Electrical Power Wheelchair, Stand-up |
| Identification of
Predicate Devices: | LEVO mobil LCM (K 963817) |
| Indtended Use: | The LEVO combi stand-up electrical power wheelchair
is a product which changes peoples position not only
from sitting to standing and standing to sitting but also
reclines and lifts the seat and back position. The product
provides indoor and outdoor mobility. |
| Description of
the Device: | The LEVO combi powered wheelchair is centre wheel
driven, battery powered, motor driven and is controlled
by the Penny & Giles compact power wheelchair
controller Pilot+. The joystick is integrated in the
controller.
The wheelchair is powered by two 12V55Ah batteries
with a theoretical driving range of 35km on the fully
charged batteries.
The wheelchair consists of the following basic sub-
sections: |

1

  • Base with two direct-drive units with integrated . parking brakes, two 12V55Ah batteries, two 14"x2¾" centre wheels, two 8"x2" front wheels, and one 5½"x1½" rear wheel with suspension.
  • Penny & Giles power electronics Pilot+ .
  • Seating system including mechanisms for all possible . positions, stand-up actuator and optional lift and/or backrest actuator.

The base is of welded steel construction and includes the base frame, front castor wheels, centre driving wheels with drive unit (motor/gear/brakes), batteries and pivoting rear castor. The motor controller is mounted to the left or right armrest, depending on the user's needs,

Substantial Equivalence:

The LEVO combi is substantial equivalent with respect to intended use, and materials to the predicate device. The key changes are rear suspension, outdoor mobility. the use of the Pilot+ controller from Penny & Giles instead of the PG8 controller from Penny & Giles, as well as additional possibilities to change positions (reclining up to lying, relax position).

Safety and Effectiveness:

LEVO combi was basically developed The on experience of the LEVO mobil LCM. However being able to provide additional outdoor mobility as well as further improvements in the geometric for an excellent biomechanical response to the user's body, there are a few additional functions and adjustments integrated. The rest of it is simply colour and design changes. So the LEVO combi has in substantial the same technological characteristics and the same safety and effectiveness as the predicate device(s) and the minor changes declared in the submission do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
