2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of a typical clinical study with human subjects. Instead, the device's performance is demonstrated through bench testing against recognized industry standards (RESNA, ISO) and biocompatibility testing of its components.
- Sample Size: The sample size for these engineering and materials tests is not explicitly stated, but it is typically one or a small number of physical units of the device and its components, sufficient to perform the required measurements and evaluations per the standards.
- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted according to international and national standards. The country of origin of the data is not directly mentioned beyond the manufacturer being in Taiwan. The nature of these tests is prospective in the sense that the new device was built and then rigorously tested to meet pre-defined engineering and safety benchmarks. There is no indication of retrospective data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Their Qualifications
This information is typically relevant for studies involving subjective human assessment (e.g., image interpretation). For this device, the "ground truth" is established by the objective measurements and adherence to the specified engineering and safety standards.
- Number of Experts: Not applicable in the sense of establishing a subjective "ground truth." The experts involved would be the test engineers and laboratory personnel from the accredited testing facilities that performed the RESNA and ISO standard tests.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not specified, but implied to be qualified and accredited by virtue of conducting tests according to international standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are for resolving discrepancies in human expert opinions, which is not relevant for objective engineering and biocompatibility testing. The "adjudication" here is the pass/fail result against the criteria set by the standards.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No. An MRMC comparative effectiveness study is designed to evaluate differences in diagnostic accuracy or effectiveness among human readers, often with and without AI assistance, using a set of cases. This type of study is not relevant for a motorized scooter.
- Effect Size: Not applicable.
6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only without Human-in-the-Loop Performance)
Yes, in the sense that the device itself (the "algorithm only") was tested against established performance and safety standards, independent of direct interaction with a human in a clinical efficacy setting. The performance metrics listed above (e.g., dynamic stability, braking distance, cruising range, maximum speed) are intrinsic to the device's design and function and were measured directly from the physical product. There is no "human-in-the-loop performance" analysis detailed for this device in the context of its regulatory clearance.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for this device is based on:
- Established engineering and safety standards: RESNA WC-1, RESNA WC-2, ISO 7176 series. The performance of the device is measured against the requirements and test methods defined by these standards.
- Objective material properties and biological response: For biocompatibility, the ground truth is established by the results of cytotoxicity, sensitization, skin irritation, and delayed-type hypersensitivity tests performed according to ISO 10993 standards.
- Comparative equivalence to a predicate device: The regulatory submission establishes that the subject device's performance is "as safe, as effective, and performs as well as" a legally marketed predicate device (K032489 Wu's Tech WT-M4Jr). This comparison itself forms a type of ground truth for regulatory purposes.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train machine learning models. This device is a physical medical device (electrical scooter), not an AI/ML-driven software product.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Specification comparison discussions ●
Both devices have the same indications for use, same technological designs, same number of wheels, same speed control lever, same driving system, and same brake system,
In the below, we discuss the differences between them,
{8}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/8/Picture/0 description: The image is a logo for a company called "Wi's Tech". The logo is in a green rounded rectangle. The text "Wi's" is in red, with two green dots above the "i" and the "s". The word "Tech" is in black and is located below the "s".
- √ Wheel size: The wheel sizes for the predicate and subject devices are different. The predicate device's tires are 2.5'' x 4" solid tires and the subject device's tires are 10.2"x3.3" solid tire. The wheels of predicate device are smaller than those of the subject device. Larger wheel will give more comfort to the users, and will not raise any safety and effectiveness concerns due to the different wheel size.
- Dimensions: The dimensions of the two devices are different. The larger depth will > give more support to the legs and will bring more comfort to user's ride, and since the subject device has passed the RESNA WC-1 and RESNA WC-2 standards with respect to safety and performance aspects, and this difference does not raise any new safety and effectiveness concerns for the subject device.
-
Weight of wheelchair: The weight of subject device is 188.1 lbs. (85.5 kg) and it is heavier than the predicate device. This difference will make a lower ratio of the wheelchair weight/motor power output for the subject device. The ratio of the weight/power for the subject device is 188.1 1bs / 470 W = 0.400 lbs/W and the predicate device is 94.7 lbs/ 350 W = 0.270 lbs./W. The subject device will use one ioule energy per second to push 0.400 pounds of wheelchair weight, and the predicate device will use one joule energy per second to push 0.270 pounds of wheelchair weight. That is to say, the subject device consumes more battery's electrical energy than the predicate device. There are no new safety and effectiveness concerns raised for the subject device with respect to the larger weights.
- ✓ Motor output: The motor output for the subject device is 470W, it is larger than 350W of the predicate device. Since the volume and weight of the subject device is larger than the predicate device, the motor output of the subject device should be designed to be larger than the predicate device. The difference will not raise any new safety and effectiveness concerns for the subject device.
- V Cruising range: In general, the cruising range depends on the wheelchair weight, battery charging condition, motors output, and cruising surface conditions. The cruising range of the subject device is 18 miles and that of the predicate device is about 20 miles. The difference between subject device and predicate device is not large. As the user knew the cruising range of the subject device is 18 miles from the user manual, they will drive the scooter in consideration of 18 miles range, and avoid driving exceeding this cruising range for each travel. There are no new safety

and effectiveness concerns raised due to this smaller cruising range.
- ✔ Battery type: The battery capacity of the subject device is 36 Ah and the predicate device is 34 Ah. A larger battery capacity means this battery can drive a larger range or last for a longer time. Also, the batteries of the subject device have passed the testing of ISO 7176-25:2013. These facts demonstrate there are no any new safety and effectiveness concerns raised due to using a larger battery.
-
Slope grade ability: The slope grade ability is 10 degrees for predicate device and 6 degrees for subject device. The relevant statement of 6 degrees for the slope grade ability is placed in the user manual. If the user operates the electrical scooter according to the instructions for use, any safety and effectiveness concerns are not raised due to the smaller slope grade ability.
-
The Max Speed Forward for the subject device is 5.9 mph, which is larger than 4 mph of the predicate device. As we know the maximum safety speed for the motorized scooter is 6 mph, there is no safety and effectiveness concerns for the difference of maximum forward speed.
-
The maximum loading of the subject device is 400 lbs. (182 kg) and it is 250 lbs (113.5 kg) for the predicate device. The maximum loading of the subject device is much larger than the predicate device, which will bring more comfort and safety to the users. There is no any new safety and effectiveness concerns due to the difference of the maximum loading for the subject device.
-
The backrest and armrests of the subject device are foldable and the predicate device has no any folding function. These more functions bring more conveniences of storage or transportation than the predicate device. There are no any safety and effectiveness concerns raised for the subject device due to the differences of folding functions.

● RESNA standards test comparison discussions
1) RESNA WC-1 Section 1
The standard used for testing the static stability of the subject device is RESNA WC-1 Section 1:2009, but the standard used for the predicate device is RESNA WC-1 Section 1:1998. The subject device used updated standard.
The testing results show that the static stability downhill for the subject device is 26 degrees (Max.) / 16 degrees (Min.), the static stability uphill is 16 degrees (Max.) / 15 degrees (Min.) and the static stability sideways is 9.5 degrees. All of the static testing results for the subject device are larger than the predicate device. The differences of the angles show that the subject device has more static stability in three ways than the predicate device. So there are no any new safety and effectiveness concerns raised for the subject device due to the static stability differences.

2) RESNA WC-1 Section 2
The standard used for testing the dynamic stability of the subject device is RESNA WC-1 Section 2:2009, but the standard used for the predicate device is RESNA WC-1 Section 2:1998. The subject device used updated standard.
The dynamic stability downhill is 6 degrees for the subject device and is 10 degrees for the predicate device. AS we knew the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility (ADAAG) Section 4.7.2 Slope has regulated that the angle of the slopes that may be encountered in public place and accessible environments that comply with the ADAAG will be required not to have slopes greater than 1:12 (4.8 degrees). The risk level of tip over due to the 4-degree less dynamic stability has been mitigated to an acceptable level by the slope limitation requirements of ADAAG and the disclosure of the dynamic stability information in the user manual. There are no safety and effectiveness concerns raised by the 4-degree less dynamic stability difference for the subject device.
RESNA WC-1 Section 3 3)
The standard used for testing minimum braking distance of the subject device is RESNA WC-1 Section 3:2009, but the standard used for the predicate device is RESNA WC-1 Section 3:1998. The subject device used updated standard.
The minimum braking distance from maximum speed is 1.40 m for subject device and is 1.15 m for predicate device. The subject device needs more 0.25 m distance to stop the wheelchair from the maximum speed than the predicate device. As we knew, the max forward speed for the subject device is 5.9 mph, and it is 4 mph for the predicate device. The higher-speed wheelchair normally needs more braking distance to stop the wheelchair. Since the minimum braking distance information was disclosed in the user manual, the risk level of larger braking distance was reduced to an acceptable level. There are no any safety and effectiveness concerns raised for the subject device due to this braking difference of 0.25 meters.
4) RESNA WC-1 Section 4
The standard used for testing the cruising range of the subject device is RESNA WC-1 Section 4:2009, but the standard used for the predicate device is RESNA WC-1 Section 4:1998. The subject device used updated standard.

The cruising range for the subject device is 29 km and it is 32 km for the predicate device. If the user got used to the 29 km cruising range and already knew when the wheelchair needed to be charged, the user would not meet the low-battery situation, which resulted to abnormal driving situation. Thus, based on the above, there are no any new safety and effectiveness concerns raised by this shorter cruising range for the subject device.
ર) RESNA WC-1 Section 5
The standard used for testing the overall dimensions of the subject device is RESNA WC-1 Section 5:2009, but the standard used for the predicate device is RESNA WC-1 Section 5:1998. The subject device used updated standard.
The overall length / width is tested to be 1210 / 580 mm for the subject device and it is 1170 / 560 mm for predicate device. These minor differences mean the subject device is bigger than the predicate device, thus not related to the safety aspects.
The total mass for the subject device is 85.5 kg and it is 43 kg for the predicate device, and the difference comes from bigger sizes of the subject device. The heavier wheelchair will lead to more comfortable feeling and less cruising range. There are no any new safety and effectiveness concerns raised by this difference for the subject device.
The minimum turning radius and minimum turn-around width are 1400 / 1600 mm for the subject device and they are 1100 / 1200 mm for the predicate device. The larger minimum turning radius and minimum turn-around width for the subject device mean that it needs considering more space to make a turn or a turn-around. Since this information was disclosed in the user manual to the users, the risk level of shortage of space was reduced to an acceptable level. There are no any new safety and effectiveness concerns raised by these differences for the subject device.
6) RESNA WC-1 Section 6
The standard used for testing the maximum forward speed of the subject device is RESNA WC-1 Section 6:2009, but the standard used for the predicate device is RESNA WC-1 Section 6:1998. The subject device used updated standard.

The forward speed for the subject device is 5.9 mph and the predicate device is 4 The higher forward speed of the subject device requires more braking mph. distance than the predicate device. The maximum forward speed information was disclosed in the user manual to the users, and the risk level of higher speed was reduced to an acceptable level. There are no any new safety and effectiveness concerns raised by the difference of higher speed for the subject device.
7) RESNA WC-1 Section 7
The standard used for testing the angle and the dimensions of the subject device is RESNA WC-1 Section 7:2009, but the standard used for the predicate device is RESNA WC-1 Section 7:1998. The subject device used updated standard.
The seat plane angle is tested to be 5 degrees for the subject device and it is 0 degree for the predicate device. This difference will result in backward inclination of the user or less happening chance of forward tip-over for the subject device and no any new safety and effectiveness concerns were raised due to the seat plane angle difference for the subject device.
The effective seat depth / effective seat width are tested to be 430 / 460 mm for the subject device and 420 / 430 mm for the predicate device. These differences can result in different comfort feeling during driving period, and they are not related to the safety aspects.
The minimum / maximum seat surface heights at front edge is 570 / 620 mm for the subject device and 500 / 500 mm for the predicate device. The seat surface height of the predicate device is fixed. It means the minimum seat height for the subject device is larger than the predicate device by 70 mm. The seat surface height of the subject device can be adjusted by 50 mm according to the comfortable feeling of users, and it is not related to the safety aspects. There are no any new safety and effectiveness concerns raised by the difference of larger seat surface height for the subject device.
