The UPnRIDE™ stand-up power wheelchair is intended for medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position. The product changes position from Sitting to Standing and Standing to Sitting but also any position in between. The product provides indoor and outdoor mobility.
The UPnRIDE™ device enables disabled and elderly individuals to be mobile in a sitting or standing position indoors and outdoors. The device design is based on the following principles: 1. Using motorized jointed braces and harnessing to safely support the user while sitting, shifting to standing, standing and returning to sitting - 2. Center of gravity (COG) is maintained substantially at the center of the device in all positions, thus maximizing stability and safety. - 3. Balancing the platform which supports the user so that the user always remains vertical even on skewed surfaces. - 4. Implementing an operation and safety algorithms to minimize risks and hazards to the user, even beyond the provisions of standard wheelchairs. The product is comprised of the following modules: - Driving module: a motorized driving chassis that 1. includes two front motorized wheels, two high capacity Li-Ion batteries 21.6VDC / 29.7Ah and a steel frame which is installed as a chassis for the device's components. - Inertial Measurement Unit ("IMU") for measuring 2. ground slopes (pitch and roll) and user's tilt angles (pitch and roll). - Standing and sitting module: a motor-based lifting 3. mechanism for shifting between standing and sitting positions. - 4. Balancing module: a platform that balances the user while sitting or standing, relative to earth. - 5. User interface module: a unit through which the user controls the UPnRIDE™. This module has an "R-NET" controller that contains a Joystick, commanding buttons and a display for viewing indications and status and a switching box for controlling the various modes of operation. - Actuator drivers: five units that control the lifting 6. motors. - 7. Main Controller: a unit which reads all sensors and user inputs, performs the balancing and safety algorithms, and controls all the chairs function.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the UPnRIDE stand-up power wheelchair. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML device.
Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices (Levo Comfort II and Quickie Q700-UP M) by comparing intended use, technical characteristics, and adherence to performance standards.
Here's how the requested information relates to the provided text:
- Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance: This information is not present for an AI/ML component. The text lists voluntary standards (ISO series, ANSI/RESNA WC-1) that the UPnRIDE complies with, which are performance standards for wheelchairs in general, not specific acceptance criteria for an AI/ML algorithm's output.
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not applicable, as there's no AI/ML test set discussed. The document mentions "performance tests" and a "usability study" but provides no details on sample size, data provenance, or methodology for these.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience): Not applicable.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
- 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: Not applicable.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The device is a physical wheelchair with an "operation and safety algorithms" and a "Main Controller" that "performs the balancing and safety algorithms," but these are embedded control systems, not a standalone AI/ML diagnostic or predictive algorithm being evaluated for performance against a ground truth dataset in the way typically discussed in AI/ML reviews.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable for an AI/ML component. The mention of "balancing operation was validated by multitude performance tests and a usability study" suggests physical performance and user experience were evaluated, not AI/ML output.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a stand-up power wheelchair and does not include the type of detailed information about acceptance criteria and studies for an AI/ML device as requested. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing medical devices through technical comparison and compliance with relevant industry standards for wheelchairs.

Dear Yoram Levy:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions.

Comparison with Predicate Devices
Intended use and indications for use
The UPnRIDE™ stand-up power wheelchair is a product which changes people's position from sitting to standing and standing to sitting but also any position in between, same as the cleared Levo comfort II (K051387). Both devices are intended to allow indoor and outdoor mobility.
The proposed UPnRIDE™ and the two predicate devices: the Levo comfort II and the Q700-UP M (K172384) wheelchairs are intended for any individual who needs a power wheelchair and cannot stand up on their own.
The UPnRIDE™ can be used on uneven ground, same as with the Levo comfort II and the Q700-UP M.
The UPnRIDE™ is classified as a standup wheelchair, under the regulation code IPL (regulation number 890.3900), same as the Levo comfort II (K051387) and the Q700-UP M (K172384). The devices are Class II devices.

Technical Comparison
Both the UPnRIDE™, the Levo Comfort II and the Q700-UP M devices contain two main modules. The first one is a driving module that includes a steel frame, two drive motors and batteries as a source of energy. The second is a sitting-standing module, which enables the user adjust the chair according to the user's demand. The components of the sitting-standing adjustment module of the UPnRIDE™ device are similar to the cleared reference device- Q700-UP M powered wheelchair and includes several motors, that allow the user to transfer from a sitting to a standing position and vice versa, to amend the positions of the leg support, back support and chair's horizontal and vertical locations while sitting and standing, like the Q700-UP M.
Both UPnRIDE™ and the predicate devices include a controller which contains a joystick and command buttons designed by PG Drives Technology. In addition, both UPnRIDETM device and Q700-UP M contain the same braking system which is based on PG Drives Technology.
UPnRIDE™ includes additional module - Balancing module. UPnRIDE™ proprietary balancing system enables the user to be mobile on almost any urban environment with increased safety. Using two linear actuators, the system balances the platform which supports the user so that the user always remains vertical even on skewed surfaces. The balancing operation was validated by multitude performance tests and a usability study to ensure its efficiency and to prevent any safety concerns.
Both UPnRIDE™ and the predicate devices have similar characteristics such as user weighing up, maximum curb height and distance range.
