Device Description

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a manual wheelchair (Momentum No. FS008 Wheelchair). This type of document is a regulatory approval, not a scientific study report. It states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, as typically found in a clinical or performance validation study report for an AI/diagnostic device.

Specifically, it doesn't provide:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Sample size, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication methods for test sets.
  3. Information on MRMC comparative effectiveness studies.
  4. Information on standalone algorithm performance.
  5. Type of ground truth used.
  6. Sample size and ground truth establishment for a training set.

The FDA 510(k) process for a manual wheelchair primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence in terms of safety and effectiveness to an already approved device, rather than requiring extensive new performance studies with detailed statistical metrics as would be expected for a novel diagnostic or AI-powered medical device.
