No
The device description and performance testing focus on standard wheelchair functionality and safety standards, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device, an electrically powered wheelchair, is intended to provide mobility, which is a supportive function rather than directly treating or preventing a disease or condition. While it assists individuals with restricted mobility, this assistance does not fall under the typical definition of a therapeutic device that aims to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease.
No
The device is a powered wheelchair intended to provide mobility, not to diagnose medical conditions. Its function is to assist in movement for individuals restricted to a sitting position.
No
The device description clearly outlines numerous physical components of an electrically powered wheelchair, including wheels, frame, seat, armrests, and a controller. The performance studies also focus on the physical and electrical characteristics of the hardware.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device's Intended Use: The intended use of the HEARTWAY Electrically Powered Wheelchair, Model P27 is clearly stated as providing mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position. This is a physical assistance device, not a diagnostic tool.
- Device Description: The description details the mechanical and electrical components of a wheelchair, not equipment for analyzing biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are related to the physical and electrical safety and functionality of a wheelchair (stability, braking, speed, dimensions, etc.), not diagnostic accuracy or analytical performance.
The information provided definitively indicates that this device is a mobility aid, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The device is intended for medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position.

Device Description
The HEARTWAY Electrically Powered Wheelchair, Model P27 is battery powered and configured with 2 PU solid front castors and 2 pneumatic rear drive wheels, a width adjustable seat, a controller to control the lighting function and driving function, a main frame, a foot-rest, a pair of arm-rest, a back-rest, a seat cushion, a pair of skirts, a set of anti-tippers.
P27 powered wheelchair is rear-wheel driven and operated by two pneumatic rear wheels as the drive wheels, two solid front wheels as the front casters and uses upper joystick to control the driving direction, driving speed, and lighting function. Main frame carries a width adjustable seat system and a set of anti-tipper to prevent a patient from tipping their wheelchairs backward. Main frame is equipped with the front & rear independent suspensions to enhance the stability. A width-adjustable seat system carries a set of back rest system, a seat cushion, a pair of arm-rest, a pair of foot-rest, and a pair of skirts to provide seat posture positioning functions. P27 power wheelchair maximum weight capacity is 265 lbs (120kg). Maximum speed is 3.75 mph (6 kph). The device can be disassembled for transport and is provided with an external battery charger.

COMPARISON DISCUSSION
For the maximum user weight capacity, wheelchair total weights, cruise range per charging and maximum speed, the subject device are smaller than the predicate device. The facts show the subject device is designed to perform in a lighter weight way than the predicate device. In order to function in a lighter weight design, rear wheels sizes and front castors sizes of the subject device can be smaller than those of the predicate device. To drive a lighter wheelchair with a slower maximum speed, the motor powers of the subject device can be smaller than those of the predicate device, based on the work-energy theorem. Since the motor powers and the maximum speed of the subject device are smaller than those of the predicate device, the cruise range is smaller according to the definition of work. These differences are only related to the designing aspects and not related to the safety and effectiveness aspects.
Owing to the 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 larger overall width of the subject device. But the subject device passes the ISO 7176 series standards, the static and dynamic stabilities are all assured. Thus different radius and different widths do not raise any safety and effectiveness aspects. They are substantially equivalent.
The overall height and seat height of the subject device are larger than those of the predicate device. The subject device performs in a lighter weight design and has a backrest reclining function and a less maximum user weight capacity, the center of gravity of the subject device is higher than that of the predicate device. The fact results in smaller incline angle of the subject device 6 degrees, compared with 12 degrees of the predicate device. After all, two devices all pass the ISO 7176-2 standard; the dynamic stabilities of two devices are all assured. And this 6 degrees limitation is shown in the P27 user's manual for safety operation. There are no safety and effectiveness concerns. They are substantially equivalent with respect to these differences.
The battery chargers are different model 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 aspects concerned.

Image /page/10/Picture/0 description: The image is a business card for HEARTWAY MEDICAL PRODUCTS CO.,LTD. The card includes the company's logo, address, phone number (886-4-23580357), fax number (886-4-23590786), website (www.heartway.com.tw), and email address (sales@heartway.com.tw). The card also includes the TÜV CERT and ISO-9001 CERTIFICATED logos.
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 P27, is as safe and effective as, and functions in a manner equivalent to the K070489 predicate device, HEARTWAY Power Tilt Seating System power chair P16RT. 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.
