2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify "sample sizes" in the typical sense for clinical trials. The testing described is bench testing and performance testing of the physical device according to industry standards (ISO, ANSI/RESNA, IEC). Therefore:
- Sample Size for Test Set: Implicitly, one or more units of the "i3 Foldable Mobility Scooter" were tested as per the requirements of each standard. Specific numbers are not provided, but for design verification, often a small number of units are tested to confirm compliance.
- Data Provenance: The device is manufactured by PUC Perfect Union Co., LTD. in Taiwan. The testing was conducted to international and national standards recognized globally. The data is from prospective bench and performance testing of their own device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
This concept is not directly applicable to this type of submission. "Ground truth" established by experts is typically for diagnostic devices where human interpretation is involved. For a mobility scooter, compliance with engineering and safety standards is determined by measurement and observation against predefined criteria, not expert consensus on an interpretation. The "experts" would be the certified test engineers and organizations performing the standardized tests.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used in studies where multiple human readers assess data, and disagreements need resolution (e.g., in radiology image interpretation). The tests for a mobility scooter are objective measurements and performance checks against established thresholds in standards.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is for evaluating the impact of an AI system on human reader performance, typically for diagnostic or screening devices. The i3 Foldable Mobility Scooter is a physical mobility aid, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This device does not feature an AI algorithm that would operate in a "standalone" fashion.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is defined by the specific requirements and test methods outlined in the cited international and national consensus standards (e.g., ISO 7176 series, ANSI/RESNA WC series, IEC standards). Compliance means the device's measured performance characteristics (e.g., speed, braking distance, stability, battery range) fall within the acceptable parameters defined by these standards.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is a physical product, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set.

5. Device Description
The device "i3" is an indoor/outdoor use mobility scooter that is intended to be used by a person who is able to walk but still with "minor mobility problems." The mobility scooter "i3" is composed of metal alloy frame, two front wheels, two rear wheels, two anti-tip wheels, a speed control throttle lever for high/low speed adjustment, a upper control console with a battery indicator, a horn, a key, and a speed control dial, a Li-ion battery with an off-board charger, a motor/electromagnetic brake assembly, an electric motor controller, and a seat/backrest set. The overall dimension of the scooter is L1014W468H981 mm. The total weight of the scooter is 25 kg without battery inside. It can easily be folded and unfolded for transportation in a car boot. The maximum weight capacity of "i3" is 300 lbs. (Approx.136 kg), and its maximum speed is allowed 4 mph (Approx. 6 km/h).
The speed limits while in slow is 1 mph, and is between 2~3 mph in normal. The highest curb clearance is 43 mm. The maximum safe speed to prevent tip over during operation is 3 km/hr. The minimum turning radius to prevent tip over during operation is 1500 mm.
The information on the time to brake for each noted stopping distance is given on page 3 of the ISO 7176-3 test report as found in 004 Appendix B of this submission. Other performance standards such as ANSI/RESNA WC-2: 2009 (Section 21) & (Section 14) are applicable to the device subject of the submission. The braking system in the i3 foldable mobility scooter is electromagnetic brake. It will engage automatically as soon as the patient releases the speed lever. If the electrical brake fails, the motor will struggle to turn. This situation causes the motor to struggle and draw more current from the batteries. Then, the power indicator will travel faster from right to left. Meanwhile, the PG S45 controller will detect a fault in the scooter's electrical brakes, and then the scooter will stop by itself instantly.
The maximum distance of travel on the fully charged battery is approximately 9.13 km on a single battery while carrying the maximum weight 3001bs. However, the maximum distance of travel does vary with the condition of battery, loading capability as well as road condition. The device can be operated under safer surfaces, such as riding on smooth and uneven surfaces.
There are no accessories for the i3 Foldable Mobility Scooter.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The device has a small USB port underneath the dashboard. It is safe for a patient to charge the patient/user's cell phone using the standard USB Type-A female port with a connecting cable because the maximum amperage and voltage are less than or equal to 0.5A/5V.
A USB charging port:
- Standard USB Type-A Female port. ●
- Provide 5V/0.5A, however, voltage may drop more depends on battery capacity.
- Caution: the USB port is design for cell phone charging only. Do not use the port for another appliance.
The following surfaces are recommended not to operate on: ●

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.
7. Conclusion
Based on the similarities and differences discussions above, the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device because the subject device is a lot like the predicate device which has already been reviewed and cleared by FDA. Besides, the comparison of different characteristics with the predicate device demonstrates that the subject device is as safe and effective because the results of these tests do not affect the safety and effectiveness after verified by related performance tests. Since both devices were tested using the same FDA Recognized Consensus Standards, PUC believes that the data generated from the Heartway supports the findings of substantial equivalence. Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K150987).
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.
