Intended Use

The Columbia Medical Pediatric Folding Wheelchair is a manually propelled wheelchair designed to provide mobility aid for children and adolescents who have limited or no ability to ambulate and require a device to aid in seated mobility in the home and community.

Device Description

This pediatric wheelchair, also commonly referred to as an adaptive stroller, is constructed of the same typical components of most manual wheelchairs. The frame consists of powder coated round tubular 6061 T6 aluminum which is 1" in diameter, and is welded and bolted. The device comes standard with 13.5" rear wheels and 6" steering front casters. The back and seating area is made of a fabric material. The wheelchair is designed for everyday indoor and outdoor use in firm terrain. The wheelchair is designed to allow for adjustments of the orientation of the seat and back angles, using tools, to provide seating and back angles to support the skeletal and muscular characteristics of the individual for comfort, control and safety during sitting and mobility.

AI/ML Overview

The document describes the K130644 Columbia Medical Pediatric Folding Wheelchair and its non-clinical testing. It is a Class I device, meaning it is subject to general controls and does not typically require extensive clinical trials for FDA clearance. The submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Convaid Cruiser CP4M, K810676).

Since this is a Class I device and the submission focuses on substantial equivalence through non-clinical testing, the information you've requested about acceptance criteria, study details, and ground truth for AI algorithms is not directly applicable or available in this document. This device is a mechanical wheelchair, not an AI-powered diagnostic or therapeutic device. Therefore, concepts like "AI assistance," "human readers," "test set," "training set," "ground truth experts," or "MRMC studies" are not relevant to its clearance.

However, I can extract the information that is relevant about its acceptance criteria and the study that proves it meets those criteria, based on the provided text, and explicitly state what information is not present due to the nature of the device.

Biocompatibility (fabric and footplates)Materials are non-hazardous (indicated by "Biocompatibility test reports... indicating materials are non-hazardous")

Study Details:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as this was non-clinical engineering testing of a physical product, not a data-driven AI study. Typically, a sample of devices would be subjected to the various physical tests.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of an AI study. The "data" here would be measurements and observations from physical tests of the wheelchair. The tests were performed by Columbia Medical or a contracted testing facility.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not Applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI diagnostic. Ground truth as typically understood for AI or clinical studies (e.g., expert consensus on medical images) is not relevant here. The "ground truth" for these tests are the established thresholds and methods defined by RESNA standards and other applicable material standards (e.g., CSFM, CPAI-84, FMVSS 302, AST -E84). The experts would be the engineers and technicians conducting the tests and interpreting the results against these pre-defined standards.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not Applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in clinical studies involving human interpretation or subjective assessments. Here, the tests likely involve objective measurements and pass/fail criteria based on engineering standards.
  4. 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. This is a physical wheelchair, not an AI-driven medical imaging or diagnostic device. MRMC studies are not relevant.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • No. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Objective Engineering Standards & Material Specifications: The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing comprises established industry standards for wheelchair safety and performance (RESNA standards for stability, fatigue, etc.) and material specifications (flame retardancy standards, biocompatibility reports). The device's performance is compared against these objective, pre-defined technical criteria.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not Applicable. This is a physical product, not an AI model that requires a training set.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not Applicable. No training set was used.

5) Indication For Use:

The Columbia Medical Pediatric Folding Wheelchair is a manual wheelchair designed to provide mobility aid for children and adolescents who have limited or no ability to ambulate and require a device to aid in seated mobility in the home and community.

6) Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence Device Description:

The product consists of an aluminum tubing frame, steel components, rear wheels and smaller front pivoting casters for steering and turning. The product is designed to be lightweight, user adaptable, everyday wheelchair for both indoor and outdoor use. The Convaid Cruiser is made of similar tubing, aluminum and steel components, and is lightweight, user adaptable, and designed for both indoor and outdoor use.

Similar to the Convaid Cruiser, the Columbia Medical Pediatric Folding Wheelchair frame is welded and botted and secured with fasteners to allow the size of the chair to be modified as needed to accommodate change or growth of the individual. The medical equipment provider can make many of the changes without additional parts.

This wheelchair is designed to be folded for stowage and storage without the use of tools. Although the folding methodology for the Columbia Medical Pediatric Folding Wheelchair and the Convaid Cruiser is dissimilar, the result is a folded frame designed for easier transportability or storage.

7) Non-Clinical Testing

Columbia Medical's Pediatric Folding Wheelchair was evaluated for front, rear and sideway stability tests, dimensional conformance, fatigue, curb drop, and impact tests, which are RESNA standards for the predicate device. Testing was performed to ensure that the Columbia Medical's device was equivalent to the predicate device.

Additionally the base material in the fabric, WeatherMax FR, has flame retardant applications to meet CSFM T19, CPAI-84, FMVSS 302 and AST -E84 Class A.

Previous Submissions for this Device 8)

This device has not previously been submitted for FDA approval.

Section 7-3

9) Patient contact with surfaces

The surfaces of the wheelchair which might come in contact with the user are the fabric seat/back and the footrests while the user is seated in the wheelchair (less than 24 hour duration). The fabric seat and back are made of WeatherMax FR, in the family of Cordura, which is the similar fabric used by the predicate device fabric seat and back. The footplates are made of ABS which is similar to the material used for the footplates on the predicate device. Biocompatibility test reports for these materials are provided with this submission indicating materials are non-hazardous.

10) Safety

The Columbia Medical Pediatric Folding Wheelchair is substantially equivalent to the predicated device listed in the 510(k). The construction and the design of this wheelchair do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness.

11) Conclusion:

The Pediatric Folding Wheelchair shares similar materials, performance features and construction technology with the predicate device as well as a number of similar devices already legally marketed within the United States.
