The device is intended for medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position.
BRIO S19 power scooter is battery powered and configured with four solid wheels, a seat, a turning tiller column, a upper panel control, a main frame, a cross bar and an anti-tipper. BRIO S19 power scooter is operated by two rear wheels as the drive wheels and two front wheel as the steering wheel, using the upper panel control to control the turning tiller column mechanism to control the front wheel as the power scooter steering direction mechanism. Upper panel control is able to control driving forward, driving backward, speed control. The main frame is equipped with a rear bumper to allow the scooter to sustain an impact without damage to the power scooter safety system. BRIO S19 power scooter maximum weight capacity is 220 lbs (100 kg), and BRIO S19 power scooter maximum speed is 5 mile/hr (8 km/hr).
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria:
Device: Heartway Power Mobility Scooter, BRIO S19
Predicate Device: Heartway Lightweight Power Mobility Scooter S34
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present "acceptance criteria" as a separate, distinct list with numerical targets that the new device must meet independently for all parameters. Instead, the approach taken is a demonstration of substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The performance testing section lists the standards to which the device was tested, and the comparison tables highlight similarities and differences between the subject device (BRIO S19) and the predicate device (S34). The "acceptance criteria" are implied by the successful completion of these standards and the determination that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Therefore, the table below will combine the performance testing standards (which serve as the basis for acceptance) with the device characteristics and the conclusions drawn during the comparison.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
This document describes premarket notification (510(k)) for a medical device. It relies heavily on performance testing conducted according to recognized international standards (ISO and ANSI/RESNA), along with a comparison to a predicate device.
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the number of individual units (scooters) subjected to these performance tests. Typically, in compliance testing for medical devices, a representative sample (often one or a few units) is tested to demonstrate adherence to the standard's requirements, as the standards themselves dictate the testing procedures. It's not a study involving a large "test set" of patient data in the way an AI algorithm might be evaluated.
- Data Provenance: The tests are performed by the manufacturer or accredited testing laboratories against international standards. The provenance is the manufacturer (Heartway Medical Products Co., Ltd., Taiwan) and the test reports generated by these compliance tests. This is a prospective assessment in the sense that the device was manufactured and then tested for compliance, rather than analyzing pre-existing patient data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
This type of device submission (510(k) for a physical product like a mobility scooter, relying on engineering performance standards) does not typically involve "experts establishing ground truth for a test set" in the way an AI/software medical device does for clinical data. The "ground truth" here is adherence to the recognized engineering and safety standards (e.g., whether the brake effectively stops the scooter, whether the frame can withstand certain forces). This "ground truth" is established by the standard's specifications and the objective measurements of testing laboratories, not by expert consensus on clinical findings.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in clinical studies or for establishing ground truth for diagnostic AI, where there are subjective interpretations involved. The performance testing for this scooter involves objective measurements against engineering standards.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, What was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs without AI Assistance
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (mobility scooter), not an AI/software device that assists human readers/clinicians.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" is defined by the requirements and methodologies specified in the international performance standards (ISO 7176 series, ANSI/RESNA WC-2, CISPR, IEC). For example, the ground truth for "static stability" is defined by the test procedures and quantitative acceptance criteria within ISO 7176-1. The ground truth for "biocompatibility" is defined by the pass/fail criteria of the specified ISO 10993 tests.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/machine learning model that requires a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable.

COMPARISON DISCUSSION
The intended uses and the target populations for the two devices are the same. The weight limit 100kgs / 220lbs, P&G S-Drive electronic controller, the type of motor and batteries, suspension of cross brace, footplates, warranty of the components, the back upholstery material, and patient-contacting materials are the same. The back upholstery fabric passed the resistance ignition test in accordance with ISO 7176-16.
The electronic systems for two devices are the same and passed the UL certifications. Though battery charger and the competent components are different, they all passed the UL certifications. Thus the same safety levels for the two devices are assured.
There is one more biocompatibility testing ISO 10993-10:2010 for the subject device than the predicate device. This can ensure more safety and biocompatibility for the users.
There is no armrest for the subject device since it is designed for lighter and faster ways. Armrest is not a safety factor for users. No armrest leads to less weight and more compact size for BRIO S19 and the safety and effectiveness concerns are also ensured.
The major differences between the subject device and the predicate device are scooter weights and dimensions, due to the subject device BRIO S19 using lighter mainframe material of aluminum alloy than the carbon steel material used by predicate device. But both carbon steel and aluminum alloy materials all passed the strength and fatigue tests. The safety and effectiveness concerns are ensured.

The logo includes a stylized butterfly design in purple and blue, along with the company name in bold, black letters. The contact information includes the company's address, phone and fax numbers (886-4-23580357, 886-4-23590786), website (www.heartway.com.tw), and email address (sales@heartway.com.tw).
We know work equals to force (= weight/9.8) times distance. The motor powers (=work/second) and the batteries are the same. So the subject device has larger cruise range per full charging than the predicate device since the subject device has lighter weight. In addition, it is also known that power equals to force times speed. For the same power, the force (weight/9.8) is inversely proportionally to the speed. So the subject device has larger maximum speed 8.0 km/hr (5.0mile/h) than the predicate device 7.8 km/hr (4.88 mile/hr) since BRIO S19 has lighter weight. In order to stand the larger scooter weight, the predicate device must have larger rear wheels and castors. For a larger rear wheels and castors of the predicate device, the turning radius is surely larger. This also leads to larger ground clearance and larger kerb climbing ability for the predicate device.
For a larger overall height and smaller seat height for the subject device, the center of weight with loaded user must be higher and the subject device must be less stable when moves on an incline. So: incline capabilities for subject device is 6° and for predicate device is 10°. But the safeties of both devices moving on the maximum inclined slopes were ensured by the ISO 7176-1 and ISO 7176-2 tests.
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. There are no safety and effectiveness aspects concerned. Thus, the two devices are substantially equivalent.
CONCLUSIONS
The subject device, HEARTWAY Power Mobility Scooter, BRIO S19, is as safe and effective as, and functions in a manner equivalent to the predicate device, HEARTWAY Lightweight Power Mobility Scooter S34. 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.
