2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

The document details compliance with various ISO and ANSI/RESNA standards for performance testing. These standards typically involve specific test setups and a limited number of test units (e.g., one or a few devices) for physical and electrical performance evaluations rather than large "sample sizes" in the statistical sense (like patients in a clinical trial). The tests described are laboratory-based performance tests for the device itself.

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in terms of a "test set" sample size for statistical analysis (e.g., number of patients/cases). Instead, it refers to testing of the device(s) themselves. The implied sample size for each performance test is usually one or a few devices/components as per the specific test standard.
  • Data Provenance: The tests are standard-based performance tests, likely conducted in a controlled laboratory environment by the manufacturer or a certified testing facility. The document refers to "Performance Testing" without specifying the location. Based on the manufacturer's location (Taiwan), it is likely conducted there or by an internationally recognized testing body.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: These are laboratory performance tests performed on the device model, not a retrospective or prospective study on users.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable. This is not a study involving expert assessment of images or clinical outcomes where a "ground truth" is established by human experts. The "ground truth" for these tests is defined by the objective measurement criteria and methodologies specified in the respective ISO and ANSI/RESNA standards. For example, static stability is measured by specific angles and forces, not by expert opinion.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. There is no adjudication method described because there are no human-based assessments requiring reconciliation of opinions. The tests are objective measurements against defined 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 510(k) for a physical medical device (mobility scooter), not an AI/CAD (Computer-Aided Diagnosis) software. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance is relevant.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done

Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm or software requiring standalone performance testing.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The "ground truth" in this context is defined by the objective and measurable criteria set forth in the international consensus standards (ISO 7176 series, ANSI/RESNA WC-2, ISO 10993 series, etc.). For instance:

  • Static Stability: Ground truth is specific angles (e.g., 6 degrees incline) at which the device must remain stable.
  • Maximum Speed: Ground truth is the measurement of the device's actual maximum speed.
  • Biocompatibility: Ground truth is the results of specific chemical and biological tests (e.g., cytotoxicity, irritation) as per ISO 10993.

These are objective, quantitative measurements, not subjective expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train machine learning models. This document is about a physical device and its performance testing against engineering standards, not AI.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, for the same reason as point 8.

COMPARISON DISCUSSION

The intended uses for two devices are the same. PG S-Drive electric controller, suspension of cross brace, footplates, armrest type, the warranty of the components are the same. The back upholstery material is also the same and passed the resistance ignition test in accordance with ISO 7176-16.

The electronic systems between two devices, for example, the same type of S-Drive with different volume electronic controller, batteries, recharger, and the competent components are from the same suppliers, which were all passed UL certifications. Thus, the same electric safety level for the two devices is assured.

There are safer incline capabilities 6° and 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.

Mainframes of two devices are fixed type, and frame materials of the two devices are different but they both passed the strength and fatigue tests. The safety and effectiveness are ensured. The weight limit of HEARTWAY Lightweight Power Mobility Scooter, S34 is 100 kgs / 220 lbs and the subject device HEARTWAY Power Mobility Scooter Cutie Mini S16 is 135 kgs / 300 lbs. In order to load a heavier user, the subject device must be equipped with larger seat height and larger castors and rear wheels. In order to have a longer cruise range, the

The second logo is a rounded rectangle with the text "ISO-9001 CERTIFICATED" inside. The text is in a simple, sans-serif font.

motor power and the battery capability must be larger seat height can thus load a larger battery volume. The larger castors and rear wheels lead to larger turning radius, ground clearance, kerb climbing ability. Finally, larger seat height, larger castors and rear wheels, bigger battery add to a heavier weight of the power scooter. The pneumatic tires for the subject device can absorb more impact while driving than the solid tires for the predicate device, thus leading to more comfort. Under normal driving and maintenance conditions, pneumatic tires have the same safety and effectiveness concerns as the solid tires.

In a word, the subject device has a higher seat due to the above considerations and thus possessing a higher center of weight, which leads to less stable capabilities and more tip over hazard when moving fast. So, the maximum speed of the subject device is reduced to a safety level. It is 6.0 km/h (3.6 mile/h) for subject device and 7.8 km/h (4.875 mile/h) for predicate device. This limitation can bring more safety level and reduce tip over hazard. Thus, the main difference between two devices is the seat height dimension only. This main difference is equalized by limiting the maximum speed.

At last, two devices pass the performance tests in accordance with ISO 7176 series standards and the ANSI / RESNA WC-2, Section 21 for the EMC test. The overall performances of the two devices are substantially equivalent.

CONCLUSIONS

The subject device, HEARTWAY Power Mobility Scooter, Cutie Mini S16, 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.
