  • Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical laboratory tests, likely conducted at an Invacare facility or a contracted testing lab. The location/country of origin for the testing is not specified, but the manufacturer is listed as INVAMEX S.DE R.L. DE C.V. in Reynosa Tamaulipas, Mexico. The nature of the tests (e.g., static stability, impact tests) indicates they are typically prospective, conducted specifically for the submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications:

Not applicable. This is a medical device for mobility (manual wheelchair) and the testing is based on engineering and safety standards (e.g., ANSI/RESNA, ISO), not expert interpretation of medical images or conditions. The "ground truth" for these tests is the performance against specified physical and mechanical standards.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

Not applicable. As this involves objective non-clinical performance testing against established standards, an adjudication method for expert consensus is not relevant. The pass/fail criteria are defined by the standards themselves.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

Not applicable. This device is a manual wheelchair, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human interpretation.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used:

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing of the manual wheelchairs is the adherence to the objective performance specifications and safety requirements outlined in recognized national and international standards, such as ANSI/RESNA WC-1:2009, CAL 117:2013, ISO 8191, and ISO 10993. This is best described as objective engineering and safety standards conformance.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. There is no AI model or algorithm being trained for this device. The "training set" concept does not apply to non-clinical performance testing of a physical medical device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device submission.
