The Martin Chair Model C4S1 is indicated for providing mobility to persons limited to a sitting position. It is also specifically indicated to transfer a patient to and from the Martin Examination Table.
The Martin Examination Table is indicated for use during diagnostic examinations or surgical procedures to support and position a patient.
The Martin Chair Model C4S1 mechanical wheelchair is an indoor/outdoor wheelchair that has a base with two larger rear wheels and two smaller front wheels and a seat. The wheelchair is intended to be manually propelled by a person seated in the wheelchair or by an attendant or clinician. The device is made from composites of steel, plastics and fabrics. The wheelchair is for use by adult persons.
The wheelchair can be secured to a compatible, electrically elevated examination table which allows for the seat of the wheelchair to become part of the examination table. This removes the need for the patient to be lifted during transfer from the wheelchair to the examination table. The wheelchair is latched to the examination table and the side frame and wheels are removed for the examination. The sides and wheels are replaced prior to lowering the examination table allowing the wheelchair to be used according to its intended use.
The Martin Examination Table is a 510(k) exempt device, 21 CFR 878.4960, product code LGX. It is an accessory to the Martin Chair. It is a device intended as a powered examination table to provide positioning and support to patients during general examinations and procedures. It is intended for medical purposes as an electrically operated table with movable components that can be adjusted to various positions, the same intended use as other currently marketed powered tables. The Martin Examination Table is a standard powered examination table that includes standard components and features of other currently marketed powered examination tables including side rails for additional safety. The Martin Examination Table includes latches under the seat cushion that are compatible with the fixed metal receivers of the Martin Chair Model C4S1,
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting study for the Koso506 Martin Chair C4S1:
Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for a mechanical wheelchair, which is a relatively low-risk Class I device. As such, the depth of performance testing and the types of studies typically required for more complex or higher-risk devices (like those involving AI algorithms, for instance) are not present here. The questions you've asked are more geared towards AI/software as a medical device (SaMD) clearances. I will answer them to the best of my ability based only on the provided text, and will explicitly state if information is not available.

Study Details
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size: Not specified in the provided text. The document states that the devices (Martin Chair C4S1 and Martin Examination Table) were "tested" and "passed testing" according to specific standards (ANSI/RESNA, UL, CSA). These standards typically involve a defined number of test samples (e.g., specific units of the wheelchair or examination table) for various mechanical, safety, and performance evaluations, but the exact number isn't detailed in this summary.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. The testing was performed by "Human Engineering Research Laboratories (HERL)" for the wheelchair and implicitly by a qualified entity for the examination table standards (UL/CSA). The country of origin of testing data is not mentioned, but given the US FDA submission, it's presumed to be from a reputable testing facility. The nature of these tests is prospective (the actual devices are subjected to specified physical tests).
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- This question is not applicable to the type of device and testing described. The "ground truth" for a mechanical wheelchair and examination table is established by direct physical measurement, stress testing, and functional evaluation against engineering and safety standards, not by expert interpretation of data like in medical imaging. The "experts" involved would be engineers and technicians at the testing laboratories (HERL, UL, CSA labs) who are qualified to perform and interpret the results of these standards-based tests. Their specific numbers and qualifications are not detailed in this 510(k) summary.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 are used for human interpretation tasks, especially in clinical studies or for establishing ground truth in AI model training/testing. This submission pertains to physical device testing against established engineering and safety standards, where outcomes are typically objectively measured (e.g., "passed" or "failed" a specific physical test).
-
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. An MRMC study is relevant for AI-assisted image interpretation or diagnostic tools, where human readers (e.g., radiologists) are involved. This submission is for a mechanical wheelchair and examination table, which do not involve human "readers" or AI assistance in a diagnostic context.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- No. This device is a mechanical wheelchair and an examination table; it does not contain an AI algorithm. Therefore, "standalone" algorithm performance is not relevant.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance is objective compliance with recognized consensus standards (ANSI/RESNA for wheelchairs, UL/CSA for examination tables) and physical performance criteria (e.g., successful flame retardancy, meeting specified mechanical stress tolerances, electrical safety adherence). There is no "expert consensus" or "pathology" in the sense of medical diagnosis; rather, it's engineering and safety validation.
-
The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning or AI, so there is no "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable, as there is no AI or machine learning "training set" for this device.

G. SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON
The new device and the predicate devices have the same intended use which is to provide mobility to persons limited to a sitting position and to transfer patients to and from a wheelchair.
The wheelchair is manually powered and has similar weight bearing capacity. The overall dimensions and materials are similar. The ability to remove the side rails and/or wheels via a contained, quick release axle is also similar compared to Invacare Terminator, K012167. The Invacare Terminator uses an enclosed camber to hold the rear quick release axle. Similarly, the Martin Chair has an enclosed quick release axle and an enclosed positioning pin that secure the side frame of the wheelchair. Like the predicates, the Martin Chair has been tested to and found to meet the applicable FDA recognized ANSI/RESNA consensus standards tested by HERL for mechanical wheelchairs.
The one technological difference between the new device and the predicates is the ability to latch to the Martin Examination Table thus facilitating patient transfer. As described within the 510(k), processes for transferring patients in and out of wheelchairs have previously been established by both the predicate wheelchairs and the Novabed Patient Transfer System. While patient transfer currently takes place routinely using the predicated wheelchair, the technological features between the Martin Chair and the Novabed Patient Transfer System are similar in that both devices provide a means for securing the patient during
{3}------------------------------------------------
transfer and placing the patient directly onto the examination table. The method of patient transfer is well established and does not present new issues of safety and effectiveness.
Thus the Martin Chair is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
