Intended Use
The "T-2000 Power Tilt System" is an aftermarket Power Tilt in Space Seating System utilizing the wheelchair manufactures base frame and seat frame. The T-2000 Power Tilt Seating System attaches between the base frame and seat frame of the wheelchair, allowing for the tilting action of the system upon activation of the Low-Amp Toggle Switch or any alternative low-amp switch that the client may choose to operate. The T-2000 system has no software based components. The T-2000 system is appropriate for individuals who require chances in position without the help of an attendant. Power tilt systems are utilized by individuals with a variety of physical disabilities. Some of the indications for use include: - The reduction of sitting pressure, may prevent Decubitus Ulcers - Gravity assisted positioning . - . Increased sitting stability - Assistance in feeding, Improved Swallowing . - Increased Respiratory Function . - . Decrease Muscle Tone - Comfort Adjustments
Device Description
THE ACCELERATED REHAB DESIGNS "T-2000 POWER TILT SEATING SYSTEM" IS A CENTER OF GRAVITY DESIGN. AFTERMARKET POWER TILT IN SPACE SYSTEM THAT UTILIZES THE WHEELCHAIR MANUFACTURES EXISTING TUBULAR SEAT FRAME, ARMRESTS, FRONT RIGGING, BACK ASSEMBLY AND OPTTONAL ACCESSORIES. THE SYSTEM CONSISTS OF STEEL AND ALUMINUM BRACKETS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE. THE T-2000 SYSTEM UTILIZES A LINEAR ACTUATOR MANUFACTURED BY LINAK CORPORATION, AND HAS A LOAD CAPACITY OF 750 POUNDS. THE LINAK ACTUATOR HAS AN INTERNAL SAFETY NUT ATTACHED TO THE BALL SPINDLE IN THE CASE OF ACTUATOR FATURE. THIS SAFETY NUT WILL NOT ALLOW THE SEATING SYSTEM TO TILT BACKWARD ANY FARTHER THAN THE FULL STROKE OF THE ACTUATOR. THIS ELIMINATES THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CLIENT TIPPING OVER BACKWARD DUE TO ACTUATOR FAILURE. THE WHEELCHAIR SEAT FRAME IS ATTACHED TO THE WHEELCHAIR BASE FRAME VIA THE T-2000 SYSTEM MOUNTING HARDWARE BRACKETS AND HARDWARE. THE T-2000 SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED BY A DUAL DIRECTION "LOW-AMP" TOGGLE SWITCH. INCLUDED IN THE WIRING HARNESS IS A LOW-AMP SWITCH INTERFACE BOX THAT WILL ACCEPT MOST INDUSTRY WIDE LOW-AMP SINGLE AND DUAL SWITCHES UTILIZING AN 1/8™ INCH MALE PHONO JACK LEAD. AS THE TOGGLE SWITCH IS ACTIVATED. THE SEATING SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO TILT. AS THE SYSTEM IS TILTING. THE SEATING SYSTEM IS ALSO MOVING FORWARD MAINTAINING THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE CLIENT ON THE WHEELCHAIRS BASE FRAME. THIS ALLOWS FOR USE OF SHORTER BASE FRAMES FOR A WIDER RANGE OF INDIVIDUALS. THE HEAVIER, TALLER CLIENT CAN HAVE THE SAME ACCESS AND PERFORMANCE AS THE SMALLER, LIGHTER CLIENT. THE T-2000 HAS A STANDARD TILT RANGE OF ZERO TO 50 DEGREES. CUSTOM ANGLES ARE AVAILABLE. THERE IS A MINI-MICRO SWITCH ATTACHED TO THE SYSTEMS MOUNTING HARDWARE THAT RESTRICTS THE CLIENT FROM DRIVING BEYOND 20 DEGREES OF TILT.

No
The device description explicitly states, "The T-2000 system has no software based components." The operation is described as purely mechanical and electrical, activated by a toggle switch and linear actuator. There is no mention of any computational or learning capabilities.

Yes
The device is described with indications for use that directly address health issues (e.g., "reduction of sitting pressure, may prevent Decubitus Ulcers," "Increased Respiratory Function," "Decrease Muscle Tone") and assist in bodily functions (e.g., "Assistance in feeding, Improved Swallowing"), positioning, and comfort. These functions align with the definition of a therapeutic device which is intended to restore, improve, or maintain health.

No

The device is a "Power Tilt System" for wheelchairs, designed to allow individuals to change position. Its functions are mechanical (tilting) and aim to provide physical comfort and support, not to diagnose medical conditions or analyze biological samples.

No

The device description explicitly states, "The T-2000 system has no software based components." It describes a mechanical system utilizing brackets, mounting hardware, a linear actuator, and a toggle switch for activation.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The "T-2000 Power Tilt System" is a mechanical system that attaches to a wheelchair to provide power tilt functionality. Its purpose is to change the position of the user for various physical benefits.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens. The device interacts directly with the user's body position, not with samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the T-2000 Power Tilt System falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

DESCRIPTION: THE ACCELERATED REHAB DESIGNS "T-2000 POWER TILT SEATING SYSTEM" IS A CENTER OF GRAVITY DESIGN. AFTERMARKET POWER TILT IN SPACE SYSTEM THAT UTILIZES THE WHEELCHAIR MANUFACTURES EXISTING TUBULAR SEAT FRAME, ARMRESTS, FRONT RIGGING, BACK ASSEMBLY AND OPTTONAL ACCESSORIES. THE SYSTEM CONSISTS OF STEEL AND ALUMINUM BRACKETS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE. THE T-2000 SYSTEM UTILIZES A LINEAR ACTUATOR MANUFACTURED BY LINAK CORPORATION, AND HAS A LOAD CAPACITY OF 750 POUNDS. THE LINAK ACTUATOR HAS AN INTERNAL SAFETY NUT ATTACHED TO THE BALL SPINDLE IN THE CASE OF ACTUATOR FATURE. THIS SAFETY NUT WILL NOT ALLOW THE SEATING SYSTEM TO TILT BACKWARD ANY FARTHER THAN THE FULL STROKE OF THE ACTUATOR. THIS ELIMINATES THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CLIENT TIPPING OVER BACKWARD DUE TO ACTUATOR FAILURE. THE WHEELCHAIR SEAT FRAME IS ATTACHED TO THE WHEELCHAIR BASE FRAME VIA THE T-2000 SYSTEM MOUNTING HARDWARE BRACKETS AND HARDWARE. THE T-2000 SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED BY A DUAL DIRECTION "LOW-AMP" TOGGLE SWITCH. INCLUDED IN THE WIRING HARNESS IS A LOW-AMP SWITCH INTERFACE BOX THAT WILL ACCEPT MOST INDUSTRY WIDE LOW-AMP SINGLE AND DUAL

SWITCHES UTILIZING AN 1/8™ INCH MALE PHONO JACK LEAD.

AS THE TOGGLE SWITCH IS ACTIVATED. THE SEATING SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO TILT. AS THE SYSTEM IS TILTING. THE SEATING SYSTEM IS ALSO MOVING FORWARD MAINTAINING THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE CLIENT ON THE WHEELCHAIRS BASE FRAME. THIS ALLOWS FOR USE OF SHORTER BASE FRAMES FOR A WIDER RANGE OF INDIVIDUALS. THE HEAVIER, TALLER CLIENT CAN HAVE THE SAME ACCESS AND PERFORMANCE AS THE SMALLER, LIGHTER CLIENT.

THE T-2000 HAS A STANDARD TILT RANGE OF ZERO TO 50 DEGREES. CUSTOM ANGLES ARE AVAILABLE. THERE IS A MINI-MICRO SWITCH ATTACHED TO THE SYSTEMS MOUNTING HARDWARE THAT RESTRICTS THE CLIENT FROM DRIVING BEYOND 20 DEGREES OF TILT.

INTENDED USE: THE ACCELERATED REHAB DESIGNS, INC T-2000 POWER TILT SEATING SYSTEM IS INTENDED FOR THE CLIENT THAT REQUIRES POSITIONING CHANGES DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY WITHOUT THE AID OF AN ATTENDANT. THIS COULD BE FOR PRESSURE RELIEF. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS. AND POSITIONING NEEDS.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: THE T-2000 SYSTEM UTILIZES THE LINAK ACTUATOR WHICH HAS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF PERFORMANCE. AND RELIABILITY. THE SYSTEM MOVES FORWARD ON THE T-2000 MOUNTING HARDWARE VIA A PAIR OF SELF- CLEANING LINEAR BEARING GUIDES. BY USE OF THESE GUIDES, THERE IS VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TILTING OF THE SYSTEM. THE LINEAR BEARINGS ARE MUCH MORE EFFICIENT THAN CAMS, AND OIL LIGHT ROLLER BEARINGS. THIS INCREASES ACTUATOR LIFE. AND REDUCES STRESS AND FATIGUE ON STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS.
