Intended Use
The Mega 4 scooter is intended to help the user achieve a more independent lifestyle by increasing their personal mobility. The Mega 4 is intended for use by people who due to medical reasons, accident, or injury do not have adequate mobility to lead the active lifestyle they want. It is also intended for any person who would simply rather ride a scooter than walk.
Device Description
The Mega 4 is a four-wheel power scooter designed to help people with poor mobility lead a more active lifestyle. The fact that this is a 4-wheel scooter with a two wheel front end provides for a very stable ride. The Mega 4 scooter is an ideal outdoor scooter capable of traversing bumpy or uneven terrain. The Mega 4 is a four-wheel scooter with exceptional handling and is quiet due to the use of pneumatic tires and a sealed transaxle as opposed to a separate motor, differential, and chain application. It is equipped with two kinds of brakes: dynamic regenerative and a parking brake. The electronic parking brake is normally on and is released when the driver moves the throttle lever. When the driver releases the throttle lever, the regenerative braking will slow the scooter to a stop and the parking brake will be activated 1/2 second thereafter, holding the scooter, preventing any movement. The electronic controller of the Mega 4 has a water-resistant casing with no exposed wires. This feature protects the electronics from environmental damage and corrosion. The Mega 4 Scooter's maximum forward speed is 5.0mph. The maximum speed in reverse is 60% of the maximum forward speed or 3.0mph. The speed in reverse is reduced for safety purposes as it is more difficult to negotiate a scooter in reverse motion than in forward motion. The speeds are regulated by two devices: a throttle lever and a speed potentiometer. The Mega 4 has several user-friendly features. It comes equipped with an external freewheeling release lever, external battery charger jack, and an external circuit breaker reset button all for easy accessibility. It has a special light-weight-seat (21 lbs.) for easy disassembly and transportation. The seat is adjustable up and down, swivels 360°, and has flip up arms. The Mega 4 is equipped with two lateral and two rear high visibility reflectors to increase the scooter's visibility. This feature, as well as the anti-tip wheels located 1 ¼" from the ground on the rear of the scooter, provide added safety for the passenger. The Mega 4 has an adjustable tiller for user comfort and easy transportation. The Mega 4 scooter has an on board charger as standard equipment. The Mega 4 uses two 12-Volt 31 Amp sealed lead acid batteries.

The description focuses on mechanical and electronic control systems for mobility, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is a mobility aid for personal use, not designed to diagnose, treat, or prevent a disease or condition. While it helps users with mobility issues (which may stem from medical reasons), its primary function is transport and increasing independence, not therapy.

No
The device description and intended use indicate that the Mega 4 scooter is designed to improve personal mobility for individuals with inadequate mobility, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical power scooter with hardware components like wheels, brakes, a motor, batteries, and a frame. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Mega 4 scooter is for increasing personal mobility and helping users achieve a more independent lifestyle. This is a physical aid, not a diagnostic tool.
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanical and electrical components of a power scooter designed for transportation and mobility. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Mega 4 scooter does none of these things.

The information provided describes a mobility aid, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic purposes.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the energy signals given off by any transmitting device such as CB radios and Cellular phones. These signals may cause erratic behavior in other electronic equipment operating nearby. This includes scooters. There is a caution sticker on the tiller to remind the user to use caution when riding the Mega 4 scooter and not to use communication equipment while the scooter is turned on. The Mega 4 has been EMI tested and passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m. While there is no way to tell if the scooter is totally safe, an immunity level of 20V/m (May '94) is generally achievable and useful. The results of the EMI testing performed on the Mega 4 scooter are included in section 6 of the 510(k)-application package.

The Mega 4 scooter has an on board charger as standard equipment. The charger has passed the minimum voltage ground leakage as required by the FDA/U.L. Certification from the charger supplier is included in section 4 of the 510(k)-application package.

The Mega 4 uses two 12-Volt 31 Amp sealed lead acid batteries. Certifications from the battery supplier that the batteries used on the Mega 3 meet the requirements of 49CFR173.159(d) and Special Provision A67 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations for non-spillable batteries and are therefore, unrestricted for transportation by any means are enclosed in section 4 of this 510(k)-application package.
