The device is intended for medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a seated position.

Device Description

The TEH LIN Powered Wheelchair, MDG-601 is an indoor / outdoor Powered Wheelchair that is battery operated. It has a base with four-wheeled with a seat. The movement of the Wheelchair is controlled by the rider who uses hand controls located at the top of the steering column. The device can be disassembled for transport and is provided with an onboard battery charger.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the TeH LIN Powered Wheelchair, MDG-601, and its 510(k) submission for substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The information provided heavily focuses on regulatory approval and substantial equivalence, rather than detailed performance study reports with specific acceptance criteria and detailed device performance data.

Therefore, many of the requested elements for a detailed performance study description cannot be fully extracted from the provided text.

Here's what can be inferred and what is missing:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Inferred/Missing)Reported Device Performance (Inferred/Missing)
EMC ComplianceANSI / RESNA WC/Vol.2-1998, CISPR 11: 1990, EN61000-3-2: 1995, IEC61000-3-3: 1995"EMC Report" indicates compliance was tested, but specific pass/fail or measured values are not provided.
Safety and Functional PerformanceRequirements from ANSI / RESNA WC/Vol.2-1998 for electrically powered wheelchairs, controllers, and chargers (e.g., stability, braking, speed, maneuverability, durability)."Performance Testing" states these standards were applied, implying the device met the requirements. However, specific performance metrics are not given.
Intended UseAbility to provide mobility to persons restricted to a seated position safely and effectively.The device is intended and asserted to meet this use. No specific metrics are provided.
Substantial EquivalenceThe device has the same intended use, technological aspects, and only minor dimensions and material differences exist compared to the predicate device (TEH LIN POWERED WHEELCHAIR MDG-201).This was the primary "acceptance criterion" of the 510(k) submission and was** met**, leading to FDA clearance.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • The document describes "Performance Testing" against standards like ANSI / RESNA WC/Vol.2-1998. However, it does not specify a sample size for tested devices. Typically, such testing involves a limited number of production or pre-production units.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted by or on behalf of TEH LIN Prosthetic & Orthopaedic Inc. in Taiwan. The data would therefore be prospective in relation to the submission, but the location of the testing is not explicitly stated beyond the company's origin.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • This is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary. The "ground truth" for the performance testing is adherence to engineering and safety standards (e.g., ANSI / RESNA). This is determined by standardized test procedures and measurements, not by expert consensus on clinical findings.
  • There are no "experts" in the sense of clinical reviewers establishing a ground truth for a diagnostic algorithm.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable. Performance against engineering standards does not typically involve an adjudication method in the way a clinical study with human readers would. Results are objectively measured against defined criteria.

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:

  • No, this was not done. The device is a powered wheelchair, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is irrelevant and was not performed.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical product (a powered wheelchair), not an algorithm. Its performance is inherent to its design and manufacturing, not an AI algorithm operating independently.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • The "ground truth" for this device's performance is compliance with established international and national engineering and safety standards (e.g., ANSI / RESNA WC/Vol.2-1998, CISPR 11, EN61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-3). These standards define objective test methods and acceptable performance limits.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML product that requires a "training set." It's a manufactured medical device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable. As above, there is no training set for this type of device.

Based on the above the information and the analysis, we know that the subject is device and the predicate device have the same intended use the same technological aspects and only minor dimensions and material differences exist. We believe that FDA can decide the subject device and the predicate device are substantially equivalent.

Dear Dr. Jen:

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.
