Device Description

Two Rivers Power Lift/Recline Chair

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called the "Two Rivers Power Lift/Recline Chair." It explicitly states that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. This type of document, particularly older 510(k) clearances, often does not include the detailed study information, acceptance criteria, or performance metrics that are typical for more recent PMA or de novo applications, or even more rigorous 510(k)s.

Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be extracted from the provided text.

Here is what can be inferred or explicitly stated based on the document's content:

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

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not specified in the document.
  • Reported Device Performance: Not specified in the document.

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

  • Not specified in the document. This type of detail is typically not included in a 510(k) clearance letter itself.

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/Not specified. For a device like a power lift/recline chair, "ground truth" and expert adjudication in the context of diagnostic performance are not relevant. Testing would likely involve engineering specifications, safety standards, and user-centric trials for functionality, none of which are detailed here.

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

  • Not applicable/Not specified.

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 a mechanical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

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

  • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device.

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

  • Not applicable. Performance would likely be assessed against engineering specifications, safety standards, and functional requirements, rather than diagnostic "ground truth."

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable/Not specified. This is a mechanical device, not a machine learning model.

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

  • Not applicable/Not specified.

Summary based on the document:

This document is a regulatory clearance for a physical medical device (a power lift/recline chair), not a diagnostic algorithm or AI system. Therefore, most of the requested information (related to AI performance, ground truth, expert opinions, and reader studies) does not apply or is not present in this type of regulatory correspondence. The approval is based on "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, meaning it performs similarly and has the same intended use. The detailed testing data supporting this equivalence is typically found in the 510(k) submission itself, not in the clearance letter.

§ 890.3110 Electric positioning chair.

(a)
Identification. An electric positioning chair is a device with a motorized positioning control that is intended for medical purposes and that can be adjusted to various positions. The device is used to provide stability for patients with athetosis (involuntary spasms) and to alter postural positions.(b)
Classification. Class II. The electric positioning chair is exempt from premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to § 890.9 and the following conditions for exemption:(1) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate that the safety controls are adequate to ensure safe use of the device and prevent user falls from the device in the event of a device failure;
(2) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate the ability of the device to withstand the rated user weight load with an appropriate factor of safety;
(3) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate the longevity of the device to withstand external forces applied to the device and provide the user with an expected service life of the device;
(4) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate proper environments of use and storage of the device to maximize the longevity of the device;
(5) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of ANSI/AAMI/ES60601-1, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance,” and ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-1-2, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance—Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Disturbances—Requirements and Tests”) must validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety;
(6) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1, “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process,” ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-5, “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part 5: Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity,” and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-10, “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Skin Sensitization”) must validate that the skin-contacting components of the device are biocompatible;
(7) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of IEC 62304, “Medical Device Software—Software Life Cycle Processes”) must validate the software life cycle and that all processes, activities, and tasks are implemented and documented;
(8) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must validate that the device components are found to be non-flammable;
(9) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must validate that the battery in the device (if applicable) performs as intended over the anticipated service life of the device; and
(10) Adequate patient labeling is provided to the user to document proper use and maintenance of the device to ensure safe use of the device by the patient in the intended use environment.
