- Any individual who needs a power wheelchair and can not stand up on their own such as people with paraplegia, spina bifida, cerebral paresis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and polio - any individual to take part in sports activities requiring an upright position
Device Description
The ParaMotion is an all-terrain electric wheelchair with an integrated standing function. All functions are controlled via the joystick control panel. Strong electric motors on the front wheels with wide terrain tires ensure safe handling, and obstacles are overcome easily. The ParaMotion is steered by targeted control of the drive wheels with appropriate operation of the joystick. The dual rear wheel is freely mounted on a steering shaft and thus has a 360° turning radius. This ensures excellent manoeuvrability of the ParaMotion. The joystick control panel also manages the standing function to the driving functions. An electric motor ensures adjustment of the seat from the horizontal position to the upright position. At the same time, the angle of the backrest and the hinges of the leg support are adjusted so that the operator assumes an upright position in the end position. Thanks to the infinitely variable linear motor, any position between the seated position and the standing position can be assumed. All control functions are carried out by means of an R-Net wheelchair control. Thanks to the easy programmability of the R-Net system, the driving functions can be adapted to suit the user's needs.

No
The description focuses on mechanical and electrical components controlled by a standard joystick and a programmable R-Net system, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for control, analysis, or adaptation beyond basic programmability.

No
The device is a power wheelchair with a standing function, intended to assist individuals with mobility impairments and for participation in sports activities. While it aids users, it does not directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device is an electric wheelchair with an integrated standing function, designed to assist individuals with mobility impairments. Its function is to provide mobility and support, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as electric motors, wheels, a joystick control panel, and a linear motor for the standing function. While it mentions a control system (R-Net), the device is fundamentally a physical wheelchair with integrated hardware.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The ParaMotion is an electric wheelchair with a standing function. It is a physical device used for mobility and positioning, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for individuals who need a power wheelchair and cannot stand on their own, and for participating in sports activities requiring an upright position. This relates to physical function and mobility, not diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, laboratory procedures, or diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, the ParaMotion is a mobility aid and assistive device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Subject Device Description

The ParaMotion is an all-terrain electric wheelchair with an integrated standing function.

All functions are controlled via the joystick control panel. Strong electric motors on the front wheels with wide terrain tires ensure safe handling, and obstacles are overcome easily. The ParaMotion is steered by targeted control of the drive wheels with appropriate operation of the joystick. The dual rear wheel is freely mounted on a steering shaft and thus has a 360° turning radius. This ensures excellent manoeuvrability of the ParaMotion.

The joystick control panel also manages the standing function to the driving functions. An electric motor ensures adjustment of the seat from the horizontal position to the upright position. At the same time, the angle of the backrest and the hinges of the leg support are adjusted so that the operator assumes an upright position in the end position. Thanks to the infinitely variable linear motor, any position between the seated position and the standing position can be assumed.

All control functions are carried out by means of an R-Net wheelchair control. Thanks to the easy programmability of the R-Net system, the driving functions can be adapted to suit the user's needs.

Indications for Use

  • Any individual who needs a power wheelchair and can not stand up on their own such as people with paraplegia, spina bifida, cerebral paresis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and polio
  • any individual to take part in sports activities requiring an upright position

The wings are spread out above the letters, creating a sense of flight or power. The text "powerBaseTec" is written in a smaller font above the wings. The logo uses a green and white color scheme, giving it a clean and professional look.

Intended Use Statement

The sports wheelchair is designed solely for persons who are unable to walk or have a walking impediment for doing indoor or outdoor sports that require an upright body position. The ParaMotion was specially designed for users who are able to independently move in a sports wheelchair.

Comparison with Predicate Device

The ParaMotion is substantially equivalent to the ParaGolfer Otto Bock HealthCare, cleared on August 07, 2006 as K060936.

The ParaMotion is the follow-on device of the ParaGolfer and was designed on the technical basis by the company PowerBaseTec. The ParaMotion has the identically constructed drives, batteries and performance data and is based on the Design of the ParaGolfer. The control technology was replaced by an advanced control technology from Curtis Wright (R-NET). The stand-up unit (seat unit) was developed based on the stand-up unit of the ParaGolfer and optimized in order to improve he usability of the user (for instance an active seat shifting for Decubitus prevention was integrated) and to ensure more efficient repairs by trained technicians. The intended users are identical for both devices (ParaGolfer and ParaMotion). Based on technical, clinical and biological characteristics the ParaMotion is substantially equivalent to the ParaGolfer and may be viewed as follow-up product.

The following table provides a comparison of technological characteristics with the predicate device and the reference device to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
