The device is intended for medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position.
The HEARTWAY Electrically Powered Wheelchair, Model P19 is battery powered and configured with four solid wheels, a seat, a controller to control the driving function, a main frame, a foot-rest, a pair of arm-rest, a back-rest, and a set of anti-tippers. Main frame carries a width foldable seat system and a set of rear anti-tipper to prevent a patient from tipping their wheelchairs backward. P19 maximum weight capacity is 250 lbs (113kg). Maximum speed is 3.75 mph (6 km per hour). The device can be folded for transport and is provided with an external battery charger.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the HEARTWAY Electrically Powered Wheelchair, Model P19. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not on proving general acceptance criteria for a novel device through a standalone study. Therefore, several aspects of your request (e.g., sample sizes for test/training sets, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC study, how ground truth was established) are not directly applicable or available in this type of submission.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria (standards applied) and the reported device performance in relation to those standards from the provided text.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size: This document does not specify a "test set" in the context of a statistical study with a specific number of units. The testing refers to conformity with established international and national standards (ISO, ANSI/RESNA, CISPR, IEC) for medical devices like powered wheelchairs. Typically, such testing involves a limited number of physical units (prototypes or production samples) of the device being evaluated, not a large "test set" of data samples. The exact number of units tested is not provided.
- Data Provenance: The tests were performed according to international standards for wheelchair performance and safety. The location where these tests were conducted is not explicitly stated, but the manufacturer is based in Taiwan, R.O.C., so it is likely undertaken by a certified lab either in Taiwan or abroad. The nature of these tests is prospective (evaluation of the device itself) rather than retrospective data analysis.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- This information is not applicable to this type of submission. "Ground truth" in this context is established by the well-defined and quantitative metrics and methodologies specified within the cited international engineering and safety standards (e.g., ISO 7176 series). Expertise is embedded in the standards themselves and the accreditation of the testing facility, rather than a panel of clinical experts establishing ground truth for individual cases.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not applicable. Performance against engineering and safety standards is typically determined by objective measurements and pass/fail criteria defined within the standards, not through adjudication by multiple experts.
5. 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, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging AI devices, where human readers (e.g., radiologists) interpret images with and without AI assistance. The HEARTWAY Electrically Powered Wheelchair is a physical medical device for mobility, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, so such a study would not be relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. The device is a physical powered wheelchair, not an algorithm. Its performance is evaluated through physical and electrical testing against established standards, not as a standalone algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used
- The "ground truth" for the device's performance is defined by adherence to the objective, measurable parameters and criteria set forth in the international engineering, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility standards (e.g., ISO 7176 series, ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol.2, CISPR, IEC for EMC, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, UL for chargers). These standards represent an industry consensus on acceptable performance and safety for such devices.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device. There is no 'training set' in the context of algorithm development.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable, as there is no training set mentioned in this context.

COMPARISON DISCUSSION
The intended uses for the two devices are the same. Mainframes of two devices are folded, and frame materials all meet the Strength, Yield Load, and Elongation tests. Weight load, footplates, armrest type, suspension, static incline angle, patient-contacting materials (biocompatibility) and the warranty are all the same. The back upholstery material is also the same fabric and passed the resistance ignition test. Thus the same safety level for the two devices is assured.
Basically, the overall dimensions, seat dimensions, rear wheels sizes and front castors sizes of the subject device is smaller than those of the predicate device. Thus, the wheelchair weight for the smaller size of the same aluminum alloy material should be smaller. In order to drive the heavier wheelchair with a faster speed, the motor powers and the batteries capacities of the predicate device must be larger than those of the subject device, based on the work-energy theorem. Since the motor power and battery capacity of the subject device are smaller than those of the predicate device, the cruise range is smaller. These differences are not related to the safety and effectiveness aspects.
Owing to the smaller height and smaller wheels and castors, the ground clearance and curb climbing of the subject device are smaller than those of the predicate device. As for the larger turning radius for the subject device, it is due to the different software processing speeds among two different electronic controllers. Two different electronic controllers are certified to function safely and effectively. Thus different radius and different electronic controllers do not raise any safety and effectiveness aspects. They are substantially equivalent.
Dynamic incline angle 6 degrees for the subject device is smaller than 10 degrees for the predicate device. This is due to the wheelchair weight of the predicate device is 14.5 lbs heavier than that of the subject device and this comes mainly from the battery weight difference. The battery boxes are all located at bottom of the wheelchairs and it lowers the height of center of gravity of the predicate device. These facts all increase the incline angle of the predicate device. But two devices all pass the ISO 7176-2 standard, the dynamic stabilities of two devices are all assured. There are no safety and effectiveness concerns. They are substantially equivalent with respect to this difference.

Image /page/9/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo and contact information for Heartway Medical Products Co., LTD. The logo features a stylized purple butterfly-like design next to the company name in bold black letters. Below the name is the company's address, phone and fax numbers, website, and email address. Certifications from TUV and ISO-9001 are also displayed.
The battery chargers are different but are the same 24 VDC type. Two chargers are UL-certified and there are no safety and effectiveness hazards. The difference does not raise any safety and effectiveness concerns.
Despite of the above differences, the two devices all completed the performance tests in accordance with ISO 7176 series standards and the ANSI / RESNA WC 2, Section 21 for the EMC test. They function safely and effectively. There are no safety and effectiveness aspects concerned. Thus, the two devices are substantially equivalent.
CONCLUSIONS
The subject device, HEARTWAY Electrically Powered Wheelchair, Model P19, is as safe and effective as, and functions in a manner equivalent to the K071005 predicate device, HEARTWAY Lightweight System Series, P15. The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed device identified in the submission. Thus the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
