The C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666 is an indoor/outdoor scooter which provides transportation for a disabled or elderly person.

Device Description

The C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666 is an indoor/outdoor three-wheeled scooter which is battery operated. It consists of a platform which connects the wheels, an adjustable steering column, and a seat for the rider drives the scooter using hand controls located at the top of the steering column. It can be disassembled into five parts for transport in a car trunk. It comes with a battery charger.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (CTM Mobility Scooter HS-666), not a study report. As such, it does not contain the detailed information typically found in a study or clinical trial report regarding acceptance criteria and performance against those criteria. The document explicitly states: "Comparative performance testing and clinical evaluations were not submitted as part of this 510(k)."

Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from this document, nor can I answer many of the subsequent questions related to study design, ground truth, or expert involvement.

However, I can extract the information that is present:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated as pass/fail criteria for a study. The relevant "acceptance criteria" here are the requirements outlined in the "Guidance Document for the Preparation of Premarket Notification [510(k)] Applications for Mechanical and Powered Wheelchairs, and Motorized Three Wheeled Vehicles, July 1995." The device aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
  • Reported Device Performance: The document describes the device's technical characteristics and how they compare to a predicate device. The performance details are descriptive rather than quantitative from a formal study.
Performance MetricStated Performance (for C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666)Comparison to Predicate (Shoprider TE889)
Battery operatedYesSame

Automatic braking systemYesSame
Battery typeTwo 12 volt SLA (sealed lead acid) or gel cell batteriesSimilar
Battery charger24-volt constant current charger, 110V/220V compatibleSimilar

Rider capacityOne personSame
Minimum turning radius100 cmNot explicitly compared
Maximum forward speed (flat surface)5.5 mphVery similar, varying only in minor parameters (e.g., curb climbability)
Maximum reverse speed2.2 mphNot explicitly compared
Forward speed (turtle mode)2.2 mphNot explicitly compared
Reverse speed (turtle mode)0 mphNot explicitly compared
Braking timeLess than 1 secondNot explicitly compared
Braking distanceLess than 1 meterNot explicitly compared
Braking system defaultBrakes "on" if electrical system failsNot explicitly compared
Free-wheeling modeYes (lever from "D" to "N")Not explicitly compared
Self-diagnostic warnings (examples)1 flash: battery needs rechargingNot explicitly compared
2 flashes: dead battery
3 flashes: battery overcharge

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not applicable. No performance or clinical test set was submitted or described. The testing conducted primarily refers to compliance with a "Guidance Document," implying engineering and design verification rather than a clinical study.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable. No ground truth was established for a test set in the context of a clinical or performance study.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable. No test set was used requiring adjudication.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device. No MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This is not an algorithm, but a physical mobility device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not applicable. No ground truth was established as no clinical or performance study was conducted in the manner of diagnostic or treatment efficacy evaluation. The "ground truth" for this submission is substantial equivalence to the predicate device based on technical characteristics and intended use.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is not a machine learning device; therefore, no training set was used.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. No training set was used.
