2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The submission does not detail a "test set" in the context of clinical data or comparative performance against a predefined set of cases/patients. The performance testing referenced is against engineering standards and comparison to a predicate device.
Data provenance: Taiwan, R.O.C. (Manufacturer location). The nature of the testing suggests it is primarily engineering/bench testing rather than clinical data, therefore it would be considered prospective for the device under test.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. The study does not involve human expert interpretation of data for ground truth establishment. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is compliance with established electrical and wheelchair performance standards, and comparison of specifications to a legally marketed predicate device.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. This type of adjudication method is usually for clinical studies with expert reviewers, which is not relevant for this device's submission.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic or screening devices involving human interpretation of medical images or data. The Comfort Scooter is a mobility device; its performance is evaluated against engineering standards and functional specifications rather than clinical diagnostic accuracy.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
Not applicable. This device is a physical product (electric scooter), not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance evaluation is based on direct measurements and adherence to specified standards.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" used for this device's acceptance is based on:
- Engineering Standards: Compliance with recognized international and national standards for electrically powered wheelchairs and electrical safety (e.g., ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol.2-1998, CISPR 11, EN61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-3).
- Predicate Device Specifications: Direct comparison of key performance characteristics (e.g., load capacity, controller type, recharge system, maximum speed) to a legally marketed device (COMFORT AGILE SCOOTER LY-EW303, K022369) to establish substantial equivalence.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. There is no training set in the context of machine learning or AI for this device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. No training set was used.

Summary for substantial equivalence comparison:
The intended uses, the load weight limit 265 lbs, electronic controller, back upholstery and armrest types, and warranty period between the new device LY-EW303 and the predicate device LY-EW302 are the same. Especially the electronic controller and recharge between two devices are all passed by the UL certificated. Thus the same safety level for the two devices is assured.
The major difference existing is the new device is more agile than the predicate device. Besides the overall dimension, the size of tires, and the weight are differences between the two devices. The overall appearance differences are not safety aspect. So the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in this aspect.
The maximum speed is 4.2 mph for the new device and 4.0 mph for the predicate device that are also under the 6 miles maximum speed limited. Those speeds can be continuous adjusted by the throttle tiller. The operators can set the adequate speed according to their feeling and need, and the maximum speed differences do not mean any performance differences. They 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.
