Intended Use

The ZX-1 is intended to provide enhanced mobility to disabled persons who are capable of operating a powered and manual wheelchair, by providing powered mobility to manual wheelchairs.

Device Description

The ZX-1 Power Add On is a light duty, power add-on device with the purpose of delivering powered mobility to a manual wheelchair. The device easily attaches/detaches to the frame of a manual wheelchair. The engagement between the ZX-1 and the manual wheelchair is accomplished without the need for hardware or other fixed attachment devices. The user remains seated in their manual wheelchair and performs a simple maneuver to attach the ZX-1 to their manual wheelchair. Once securely attached to the ZX-1, the user negotiates the speed and direction of their wheelchair by using a VR2 joystick controller attached to the arm rest of the ZX-1. The device consists primarily of a stainless steel base with drive wheels, a power module with joystick, two drive motors, a connector mechanism, two armrests and an anti-tilt assembly. It functions by connecting to the host manual wheelchair rear camber tube. Once the connection is made, the linear actuator lifts the manual wheelchair rear wheels slightly off the ground and onto the stainless steel base with drive wheels. Power to the drive motors is supplied by use of the joystick which is used to engage wheelchair motion and steer the chair. During use, the ZX-1 offers forward, reverse and 360 degree turning maneuverability. The user is able to adjust the speed setting to meet their needs and level of comfort.

The device is described as a power add-on for manual wheelchairs to enhance mobility, not to diagnose any medical condition.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description clearly outlines numerous hardware components including a stainless steel base, drive wheels, power module, joystick, drive motors, connector mechanism, armrests, and an anti-tilt assembly. It is a physical device that attaches to a manual wheelchair.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

Intended Use: The intended use is to provide enhanced mobility to disabled persons by adding power to a manual wheelchair. This is a mechanical function related to mobility, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
Device Description: The description details a mechanical device that attaches to a wheelchair and provides powered movement. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological specimens.
Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples.
- Detecting or measuring substances in the body.
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The device is clearly a mobility aid, falling under the category of medical devices but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description:

The engagement between the ZX-1 and the manual wheelchair is accomplished without the need for hardware or other fixed attachment devices.

The user remains seated in their manual wheelchair and performs a simple maneuver to attach the ZX-1 to their manual wheelchair. Once securely attached to the ZX-1, the user negotiates the speed and direction of their wheelchair by using a VR2 joystick controller attached to the arm rest of the ZX-1.

Device Function

Both of these products are electrically powered, motor driven devices with the intended function and use of providing powered mobility to manual wheelchairs. They are constructed from the same basic materials, incorporate the same operational principles and both use two, 12 VDC batteries as their power source. Additionally, both devices include a joystick operated motor controller to engage system motion and steer the wheelchair. See Tables 1 and 2 below for similarities and differences.

Performance Data: (Non-clinical Testing)

Additionally, Spinergy has conducted Leakage Current Testing in accordance with the IEC 60601-1 Standard for Medical Equipment. Results confirm that leakage current is less than the 100 Amp maximum value specified in the Powered Wheelchair and Scooter 510(k) Guidance Document.

Finally, Spinergy has conducted EMC Testing in accordance with EN55011/A2:2007, IEC 60601-1-2:2007 (Modified) and American National Standard: Requirements and

DIFFERENCES
Description:	Spinergy ZX-1
Power Add On	Alber Technologies E-
Fix (K943789)	Discussion
Wheel
configuration	4 wheels: I rear anti-
tip. I front lift wheel.
2 (10") central drive
wheels	2 main drive wheels	Both devices utilize centrally located drive wheels and
maintain usage of the host wheelchair's front casters.
Therefore, they are substantially equivalent in this
respect.
Mechanism to
attach/detach to
wheelchair	Mechanized clamp
attaches/detaches to
manual wheelchair
frame	Manually
attached/detach E-Fix
wheels and standard
rear wheels.	The ZX-1 attach/detach process is motorized while the
E-Fix wheels are attached/detached manually. This does
not affect safety as the ZX-I does not operate unless the
connection has been made and confirmed via the device
software.
Brake
mechanism	Electromagnetic
braking system and
disk park brake.	Electronic engine
braking system, spring
loaded drum brakes and
the original wheelchair
brake.	While the E-Fix claims to have 3 braking systems it is
relying on the host wheelchair hand brake as one of
them. Therefore, there are only two brakes in the device
itself and they are similar to the ZX-1. The engine brake
functions in the same manner as the ZX-1
electromagnetic brake in that both go into effect
whenever the joystick control is returned to its neutral,
central position. The E-fix drum brake functions in the
same manner as the ZX-1 disk park brake in that both
brakes become engaged once the wheelchair comes to a
stop.
Theoretical
driving range	5.0 mi.	Up to 12 miles
depending on the
weight of the person.
Typical range is 15.5
miles.	The E-Fix will travel further between charges. This has
no effect on safety or effectiveness as battery depletion
is still possible for both devices. The ZX-1 battery
indicator flashes red when the batteries are near
depletion. If the batteries fail, the ZX-1 may be placed in
free wheel mode and can be moved. If the E-Fix
batteries fail it can be reset to manual mode and can be
moved. Therefore, they are equivalent in this respect.
Battery Mount	Self-contained battery	Docking battery pack	ZX-1 battery is permanently mounted to the ZX-1
frame. E-Fix is contained in a battery pack which mounts
to the rear of the host wheelchair. This does not
deleteriously affect safety. With the E-Fix the user is
more likely to be exposed to the battery than with the
ZX-1.
Host
Wheelchair
Requirements	Used only with a rigid
frame manual
wheelchair. Cannot be
used with a folding
frame manual
wheelchair	Adapts to both a rigid
frame and folding
frame manual
wheelchair	This has no effect on safety or effectiveness. It only
limits the type of wheelchair with which the ZX-1 can be
used. The ZX-1 labeling clearly states that it cannot be
used with a folding frame manual wheelchair.
Free Wheel
Operation	Attendant propelled.
only	Can be both user
propelled and attendant
propelled.	This has no effect on safety or effectiveness. Free wheel
mode is intended to permit the device to be moved
manually, if needed. Should the user for some reason be
unable to operate the chair in power mode, it is likely
he/she would not be able to self-propel the wheelchair
and would require attendant assistance.
