The RoughRider is indicated to provide mobility to persons restricted to a seated position. The wheelchait is indicated for a weight capacity of up to 220 lbs.

Device Description

The Whirlwind RoughRider® is a user propelled, manually operated folding wheelchair. The Whirlwind RoughRider has not previously been submitted to the FDA for clearance. The Whirlwind RoughRider utilizes carbon steel tubing (STKM 11 AC) that is bent, fastened and/or welded to create a frame. An X-Brace connects the left and right mono frame (single piece side frame design) side frames of the wheelchair together and serves as the mechanism that allows the frame to fold. A set of adjustable axle sockets are attached to each side frame which provide the wheelchair with ability to move the rear wheel position forward and backward to give the user an adjustment as to the center of gravity of the wheelchair. Front casters (hubs and tires) are connected to a fork that is fastened to the front frame of the caster housing. The front casters of the RoughRider are positioned approximately five inches further forward than most wheelchair designs, which gives the user of the RoughRider a very stable ride in terms of forward stability. The RoughRider is intended for use on smooth indoors surfaces and outdoor surfaces which require additional forward stability such as pocked dirt and uneven pavement. The nylon upholstery back and seat meets EN 1021-2: Flammability Testing with Match and Cigarette.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for a manual wheelchair and does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the way a medical diagnostic device submission would. The provided text outlines the device description, intended use, and a comparison to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence for regulatory clearance by the FDA.

Therefore, many of the requested data points (such as sample size, ground truth, expert qualifications, etc.) are not applicable in this context. The information below focuses on what is available in the document regarding performance and equivalence.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: Not applicable. This submission is for a medical device (manual wheelchair) that does not involve a "test set" in the context of diagnostic performance evaluation. The substantial equivalence is based on a comparison of design, materials, and intended use to an existing predicate device, as well as adherence to relevant performance standards.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "study" here is the documentation of the device's design and features, and its comparison to the predicate. The device is manufactured by Dharma Polimetal, PT in Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

  • Not applicable. Ground truth as typically defined for diagnostic or AI/ML device performance is not relevant for this type of medical device submission.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • Not applicable. This is not a diagnostic device or an AI-assisted interpretation device.

6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance)

  • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Not applicable. The clearance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (Invacare Tracer Ex2, K935398) in terms of intended use, construction, and functionality, along with compliance to relevant performance standards (EN 1021-2 for flammability).

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

  • Not applicable.

Device Description:

The Whirlwind RoughRider® is a user propelled, manually operated folding wheelchair. The Whirlwind RoughRider has not previously been submitted to the FDA for clearance. The Whirlwind RoughRider utilizes carbon steel tubing (STKM 11 AC) that is bent, fastened and/or welded to create a frame. An X-Brace connects the left and right mono frame (single piece side frame design) side frames of the wheelchair together and serves as the mechanism that allows the frame to fold. A set of adjustable axle sockets are attached to each side frame which provide the wheelchair with ability to move the rear wheel position forward and backward to give the user an adjustment as to the center of gravity of the wheelchair. Front casters (hubs and tires) are connected to a fork that is fastened to the front frame of the caster housing. The front casters of the RoughRider are positioned approximately five inches further forward than most wheelchair designs, which gives the user of the RoughRider a very stable ride in terms of forward stability. The RoughRider is intended for use on smooth indoors surfaces and outdoor surfaces which require additional forward stability such as pocked dirt and uneven pavement. The nylon upholstery back and seat meets EN 1021-2: Flammability Testing with Match and Cigarette.

Intended Use: To provide mobility to persons restricted to a seated position. The wheelchair is indicated for a weight capacity of up to 220 lbs.

Substantial Equivalence: A product that is substantially equivalent to the RoughRider is the Invacare Tracer Ex2 , K935398, March 1, 1994. The RoughRider is comparable to the Invacare Tracer Ex2 wheelchair in its intended use, construction and functionality.

Both wheelchairs feature X-Brace style folding frames, non-removable armrests, non-removable footrests, and are manually operated and meant to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position. Both wheelchairs feature a fabric seat sling over an X-Brace style of folding mechanism. Both wheelchairs' footrests have the ability to be flipped up to allow open entrance for the riders' entry and exit from the wheelchairs' footrests are fixed laterally and do not swing away. Both wheelchairs frames are manufactured from carbon steel. Both wheelchairs are similar in weight and folding dimensions. Both the Whirlwind RoughRider and the Invacare Tracer Ex2 use solid rubber non-pneumatic front caster tires. Both wheelchairs are propelled using a manual push rim.

The main differences between the two devices are as follows:

  • The Whirlwind RoughRider differs in the area of rear wheel position options in that the - RoughRider offers 5 horizontal axle positions. The Invacare Tracer Ex2 wheelchair has 2 vertical axle positions.
  • The front casters on the Whirlwind RoughRider are positioned approximately 5 inches । further forward on the wheelchair making a longer wheelbase for added stability as compared to the front casters on the Invacare Tracer Ex2.
  • The Whirlwind RoughRider wheelchair has a weight capacity of up to 220 lbs. and the -Invacare Tracer Ex2 has a weight capacity of up to 250 lbs.

Performance Standards: Although no performance standards or special controls have

been developed under Section 514 of the FDC Act for manual wheelchairs, the Whirlwind RoughRider has been tested in accordance with the standards referenced in this submission.

Summary: The RoughRider and the predicate device have intended use, construction and functionality. The major differences existing are the additional horizontal axle positions, longer wheelbase for additional stability, and the lower weight capacity. The RoughRider is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
