Device Description
The RoughRider America™ RoughRider Aurora™ Manual Wheelchair (Aurora) is a user propelled, manually operated folding wheelchair. The Aurora is designed for everyday use and to help its rider move around easily, safely, and without the restrictions imposed by much of the terrain encounter in daily life. The Aurora is expected to perform well:
- Indoors and outdoors;
- Over smooth, rough, and uneven ground;
- Over soft and hard surfaces;
- Over small obstacles, like door jams; and
- Up, down and across slopes.
The Aurora utilizes primarily aluminum tubing that is bent, fastened, and/or welded to create a frame. The frame is comprised primarily of side frame, X-brace, foot rest, and caster fork subassemblies. Upholstery is made from fire-resistance fabric. The rear wheels of the Aurora can be removed making the wheelchair lighter for lifting or carrying.
The side frames have three axle holes that allow the rear wheel position to be adjusted forward and backward. Wheel position affects the rider's forward and backward stability by changing wheel axle position relative to the person's center of gravity. The position of the rear wheel relative to the rider's center of gravity also affects the amount of the rider's weight that is distributed onto the front casters, and allows the rider to maximize maneuverability and control.
The Aurora side frame fenders act as fixed arm rests and enable transferring in and out of the wheelchair. The side frame also includes the backrest tubes and push handles. The backrest tubes can be adjusted up and down to meet basic support requirements of the rider and/or their companion. Wheel locks attach to the side frame and prevent the rear wheels from turning. The locks keep the wheels from moving during transfers or when a stationary position is necessary.
An X-Brace connects the side frames of the wheelchair together, determines the chair width, and allows the frame to fold. With the X-Brace in the unfolded position, the chair performs much like a typical X-Brace folding wheelchair. The Aurora can be easily folded for stowage or storage and fits easily into the cargo carrying areas of most vehicles.
The seat upholstery fastens to the top surface of each X-brace seat tube and provides support for the rider to sit. The angled, sling-style seat and tension-adjustable back fabric offers seating suitable for many different riders. The tilted seat helps keep the rider slightly reclined to reduce the chances of tipping forward and out of the chair. The back fabric can be adjusted to increase or reduce back fabric tension. The seat width of the Aurora is determined by the size of the x-brace and the seat fabric and fixed at the point of fabrication, based on the customer order. The seat can be used with a range of wheelchair and flotation (pressure relief) cushions.
The footrests are not easily removable and support the rider's lower legs or feet. The footrests are independently adjustable up and down to position the rider's legs appropriately. The footrests are hinged and can be folded up to enable easier transfers into and out of the Aurora. When the Aurora is unfolded, and the rider is sitting in the chair, the footrest design can give the rider added protection for their toes from doors or other obstacles.
The casters include the caster wheels (hubs and tires) and a caster fork. The caster is mounted to the front of the side frame using the caster barrel. The casters can turn freely 360°. The casters of the Aurora are positioned approximately five inches further forward than most hospital- or boxstyle wheelchair designs. This additional distance gives the rider of the Aurora a stable ride, in terms of forward stability.
To prevent unintended changes to the chair configuration and reduce risk to the rider, most adjustment (footrest and backrest height) require access to basic tools.
The maximum weight capacity of the chair is 250 lb (114kg).
The Aurora is based on and substantially equivalent to the established and tested design, of the Whirlwind RoughRider. This design has been refined with input from thousands of wheelchair riders around the world after over 15 years of use. The Aurora is easy to clean and uses a range of standardized components that are easy to maintain and replace.

KEY SIMILARITIES:
- The RoughRider America™ RoughRider Aurora™ Manual Wheelchair (Aurora) is . substantially equivalent to the Whirlwind RoughRider (Whirlwind) in its intended use, design, fabrication processes, and functionality. Both wheelchairs are intended to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position. Both wheelchairs are manual wheelchairs, propelled using push rims, or pushed by a helper using the push handles.
- The overall dimensions of the both wheelchairs when open and closed are equivalent. . The minimum and maximum length of the wheelbase are equivalent. Both wheelchairs feature X-Brace-style folding frames, non-removable folding footrests. The footrest of both wheelchairs are fixed laterally and do not swing away, but can be folded up to allow open entrance for the rider's entry and exit from the wheelchair. Both wheelchairs feature a fabric seat sling over an X-Brace style of folding mechanism.
. Both the wheelchairs use solid rubber front caster tires and pneumatic rear wheels.
KEY DIFFERENCES:
- The Aurora frame is manufactured using aluminum. The Whirlwind frame is made from ● carbon steel. While the materials are different metal alloys, the methods for forming the frame parts and joining them together are similar and well-established processes. Testing to recognized consensus standards has demonstrated the durability of the aluminum frame.
- . The Aurora weighs less than the Whirlwind of equivalent size due to the difference in the weight of the frame. The reduction in weight is beneficial to the rider and their helper as the chair requires less energy to propel and lift when compared to the predicate chair.
- The Aurora has fewer rear wheel positions than the Whirlwind. The Aurora offers 3 rear . wheel positions, while the Whirlwind offers 5 positions. The reduction in the number of wheel positions simplifies the configuration of the chair by or for the rider, without affecting the safety or effectiveness.
- . The Aurora has a weight capacity of 250 lb. The Whirlwind has a weight capacity of 220 lb. The aluminum frame enables the Aurora to safely support greater loads than the Whirlwind. Testing to recognized consensus standards has demonstrated the greater load capacity of the Aurora.
- . Minor changes have been made to the seat width and depth ranges of the Aurora based on expectations of the US market.
- . The Aurora includes an adjustable back rest to better accommodate people of a range of torso heights. The Whirlwind backrest height is fixed. Testing has demonstrated the durability of the Aurora back rest and push handles.

CONCLUSION
The Aurora and the Whirlwind (predicate device) have the same intended use, indications for use, overall design envelope, fabrication methods, and functionality for the wheelchair rider. The major difference is the material used to construct the Aurora frame, resulting in a lighter wheelchair. The Aurora has been tested and meets the performance standards described. The Aurora is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
