Intended Use
The Mega 3 scooter is intended to help the user achieve a more independent lifestyle by increasing their personal mobility. The Mega 3 scooter 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 3 is a three-wheel power scooter designed to help people with poor mobility lead a more active lifestyle. The fact that this is a 3-wheel scooter with a sharp turning radius makes it ideal for indoor use and cornering in close quarters. The Mega 3 scooter is also ideal for outdoor use as it is capable of traversing bumpy or uneven terrain. The Mega 3 is a three-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 3 has a water-resistant casing with no exposed wires. This feature protects the electronics from environmental damage and corrosion. The Mega 3 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 in two ways: a throttle lever and a speed potentiometer. The Mega 3 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 3 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 1/2" from the ground on the rear of the scooter, provide added safety for the passenger. The Mega 3 has an adjustable tiller for user comfort and easy transportation. The Mega 3 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 3 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.

No
The description focuses on mechanical and electrical components, safety features, and performance testing against established standards. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would typically utilize such technologies.

No
A therapeutic device is used to treat or cure a medical condition. This device is a mobility aid designed to increase personal mobility and independence, rather than to treat a medical condition.

No

The device is a mobility scooter designed to assist users with personal mobility, not to diagnose or provide information related to a disease or health condition.

No

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

Based on the provided text, the Mega 3 scooter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to increase personal mobility for individuals with limited mobility or those who prefer riding to walking. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details a power scooter with features related to mobility, handling, braking, and user comfort. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes) in these samples.
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on sample analysis.

The Mega 3 scooter is clearly a mobility aid, falling under a different regulatory category than IVD devices.

disassembly and transportation. The seat is adjustable up and down, swivels 360°, and has flip up arms. The Mega 3 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 1/2" from the ground on the rear of the scooter, provide added safety for the passenger. The Mega 3 has an adjustable tiller for user comfort and easy transportation.

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 3 scooter and not to use communication equipment while the scooter is turned on. The Mega 3 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 3 scooter are included in section 6 of the 510(k)-application package.

The Mega 3 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 3 uses two 12-Volt 31 Amp sealed lead acid batteries.
