The device is intended for medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a seated position.
The TEH LIN Powered Scooter, TL-821 is an indoor / outdoor Powered Scooter that is battery operated. It has a base with four-wheeled with a seat. The movement of the Scooter 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.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a powered scooter (TEH LIN Power Scooter, TL-821), not a study evaluating an AI/ML device. Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details for AI/ML validation cannot be extracted or inferred from this document.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (TEH LIN POWER SCOOTER TL-588 (K022698)) based on:
- Intended Use: Both devices are for "medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a seated position."
- Technological Characteristics: Comparison of components like batteries (same brand/type, UL certified), control systems (Penny & Giles), rechargers (HP8204A, UL certified), frame, arm type, tires, seat size, warranty, and upholstery (same material, passed ignition test).
- Performance Testing: References to EMC Report ANSI / RESNA WC/Vol.2-1998, CISPR 11: 1990, EN61000-3-2: 1995, IEC61000-3-3: 1995 for electrically powered scooters.
Minor Differences Noted and Justified:
- Overall Dimensions, Weight Limit, Weight Capabilities: "Small" differences, with the new device being larger.
- Cruising Range: TL-821 is 37 km, predicate is 40 km, attributed to smaller batteries, and deemed substantially equivalent in real-life use.
- Safety Climbing Abilities: TL-821 is 12°, predicate is 15°. The manual for TL-821 will state a maximum of 12°.
- Maximum Speed: TL-821 is 5.6 mph, predicate is 5 mph. Justified by continuous speed adjustment for user control.
The substantial equivalence argument implies that by meeting relevant performance standards for powered scooters and demonstrating comparable (or slightly different but safe) specifications to a legally marketed predicate device, the TL-821 meets the "acceptance criteria" for market clearance under 510(k). However, these are not the detailed AI/ML-specific acceptance criteria and study designs you've asked for.

C.2 COMPARISON SUMMARY
( We place the related information for the predicate device in the following pages, including the visual appearance, 510k information on the FFDA website, and the comparison and summary table. )
According to the above table that the intended use between two devices is the same, The batteries used are the same brand and same type that is certified by UL. The control systems for the two devices are same brand i.e., Penny & Giles for the two devices. The recharge for the two devices are used the same resource, HP8204A, and the recharger is certified by UL. Besides, the foldable frame, removable arm type, same tires, same seat size, same warranty on component and frame, and back upholstery are the same material that also be passed the resistance ignition test by SGS.
The overall dimensions, weight limit, and weight capabilities differences between two devices are small, and the dimensions for the new device are larger than those of the predicate device. The device of the smaller dimensions can be fitted into most of the ordinary car trunk.
The cruising range of the new device is 37 km and 40 km for the predicate device. This is mainly due to the fact that the batteries for the two devices are smaller. Certainly the real range depends on the practice environments, i.e., weight, surface, incline, and temperature. For the real life use, the two devices are substantially equivalent.
The safety climbing abilities for the two devices are different, the new device is 12° and 15° for the predicate device. We place the relevant specification of maximum climbing ability 12° in the owner's manual. The user's climb is not allowed to exceed 12° for the new device. In this sense the two devices are substantially equivalent.
The maximum speed is 5.6 mph for the new devices and 5 mph for the predicate device. The throttle tiller can continuously adjust the speeds. The operators can set the adequate speed according to their feeling and need, i.e., outdoor or indoor. This means thee two devices have the same safety and hazard.
Based on the above the information and the analysis, we know that the subject device and the predicate device have the same intended use, the same technological aspects and only minor differences exist. We believe that FDA can decide the subject device and the predicate device are substantially equivalent.

Summary for substantial equivalence comparison:
The intended use between the two devices is the same. The batteries used are the same brand and same type that is certified by UL. The control systems for the two devices are same brand i.e., Penny & Giles for the two devices. The recharge for the two devices are used the same resource, HP8204A, and the recharger is certified by UL. Besides, the foldable frame, removable arm type, same tires, same seat size, same warranty on component and frame, and back upholstery are the same material that also be passed the resistance ignition test by SGS.
Thus the same safety level for the two devices is assured. The major differences existing of the two Power Scooters are the different overall dimension, weight limit, weight capabilities, climbing angle, cruising range, and maximum speed between the two devices. Based on the above the information and the analysis, we know that the subject device and the predicate device have the same intended use, the same technological aspects and only minor differences exist. So the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in this aspect.
