No
The device description focuses on mechanical and electronic components for mobility assistance, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes
The device is intended to "provide improved mobility... for persons who have a medical condition that impairs their ability to stand for periods of time or to walk," indicating a therapeutic purpose to address a health-related impairment.
No
The device is described as assisting individuals with limited mobility by providing improved mobility indoors and outdoors. It is a motorized vehicle designed to help users move around, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly details numerous hardware components including a motor, batteries, wheels, frame assemblies, brakes, and a steering arm, indicating it is a physical device with integrated electronics, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This includes tests for diagnosing, monitoring, or screening for diseases or conditions.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the Navigator I clearly indicate it is a mobility device designed to assist individuals with physical limitations in walking and standing. It is a vehicle for transportation and support, not a tool for analyzing biological samples.
The information provided about the device's mechanics, features, and intended user population all point to it being a mobility aid, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
To provide improved mobility, both indoors and outdoors, for persons who have adequate upper body strength suitable for manual steering, and who have a medical condition that impairs their ability to stand for periods of time or to walk.

Device Description
Navigator I was designed to assist individuals with limited mobility to maintain an active lifestyle. Its manual steering, high-torque four brush motor with rear wheel drive, large diameter (16") front wheels, high ground clearance (5.4"), full circle turning radius (27.5"), side to side anti-tip resistance, and curb climbing (5.5") ability make it a versatile vehicle equally adept in the shopping mall, on firm surface wilderness trails, or in the close quarters of a restaurant or home kitchen. Navigator I is a blended hybrid drawine elements from both scooters and wheelchairs, to meet desired features requested by long term scooter users. It does this while still maintaining the three-wheel scooter configuration with manual steering and anti-tip wheels adjacent to the single steering wheel. Navigator I is an electronically controlled motorized 3-wheeled vehicle employing a rear single wheel remotely steerable motor drive system (11.5" tire). It employs a 24 Volt DC permanent magnet motor powered by two 12 Volt scaled lead acid deep cycle batteries. The rigid Front Frame Assembly holds the two batteries, mounts the two front 16" diameter wheels, the two front hand controlled parking brakes, the swing up front foot rests, the electronic motor controller, and the steering arm with handle incorporating the 6-position variable speed-control. The Rear Frame Assembly is made up of the rear motor drive, the swing out Anti-tip wheels, the rear bearing block assembly and pivot wheel assembly. The Front and Rear Frame Assemblies are connected together by two semi-rigid Torsional Elements™ (relatively rigid to a vertical load, but allowing limited rotation), which also support the scat block mounting assembly. The Torsional Elements™ allow limited twist (similar to the Articulation Beam in the Pride Jazzy, K945936) to occur between the Front and Rear Frame Assemblics up to 5° of rotation, at which point one Anti-tip wheel with the ground. This greatly enhances side to side stability when driving Navigator I over rough terrain, since Navigator I is smothly transformed from three wheels to four wheels with ground contact on all four wheels.

Navigator I is a blended hybrid drawine elements from both scooters and wheelchairs, to meet desired features requested by long term scooter users. It does this while still maintaining the three-wheel scooter configuration with manual steering and anti-tip wheels adjacent to the single steering wheel. Navigator I is an clectronically controlled motorized 3-wheeled vehicle employing a rear single wheel remotely steerable motor drive system (11.5" tire). It employs a 24 Volt DC permanent magnet motor powered by two 12 Volt scaled lead acid deep cycle batteries. The rigid Front Frame Assembly holds the two batteries, mounts the two front 16" diameter wheels, the two front hand controlled parking brakes, the swing up front foot rests, the electronic motor controller, and the steering arm with handle incorporating the 6-position variable speed-control.

This greatly enhances side to side stability when driving Navigator I over rough terrain, since Navigator I is smothly transformed from three wheels to four wheels with ground contact on all four wheels.
Substantial equivalence - The Navigator I design is shown to be substantially cauvalent to the motorized threewheeled scoolers that were classified in class II under 21 CFR Section 890,3800. The basic three-wheeled scooter design is augmented with a patented frame design with anti-tip wheels that improve stability. Navigator I is a blended hybrid drawing features primarily from scooters, with some mechanical wheelchair features to improve safety and effectiveness, as outlined in the list of specific features from the predicate devices listed above and detailed in this 510(k).
Safety and effectiveness - The Navigator I Powered Scooter is substantially equivalent to the technology cmployed in the predicate devices listed in this 510(k). Navigator I docs not raise any new issues of salety and clectiveness. The occupant initiated swing-out anti-tip wheels allow the occupant to readily improve resistance to side-tip and the Torsional Elements™ provide both a smooth ground engagement of the anti-tip wheels and a side-tip warning mechanism via front wheel pickup, which we have shown by testing to significantly improve occupant safety.
