Device Description

THE ACCELERATED REHAB DESIGNS, INC "E-2000 POWER ELEVATING SEAT SYSTEM" CONSISTS OF A MOTION SYSTEM, BALL DRIVE TOWER ACTUATOR WITH A LOAD CAPACITY OF 500 POUNDS. THE SYSTEM BRACKETS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE MATERIALS ARE DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED FROM ALUMINUM AND STEEL. THE E-2000 SYSTEM HAS A BEGINNING SEAT TO FLOOR HEIGHT OF 18 % INCHES, AND WILL ELEVATE 8 INCHES TO AN UPPER LIMIT OF 26 % INCHES. CUSTOM SEAT TO FLOOR HEIGHTS WILL BE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST WITH A MAXIMUM ELEVATION OF 28 1/2" INCHES.

THE E-2000 ELEVATING SEAT SYSTEM HAS A WEIGHT LIMIT OF 250 POUNDS, OR THE WHEELCHAIR MANUFACTURES BASE FRAME WEIGHT LIMIT. WHICH EVER IS LOWER. ACCELERATED REHAB DESIGNS WILL NOT EXCEED THE WHEELCHAIR MANUFACTURES BASE FRAME LIMIT.

THE E-2000 SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO BE DRIVEN IN THE LOWERED POSITION. THERE ARE CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY ARRISE THAT A CUSTOMER NEEDS TO DRIVE IN THE ELEVATED POSITION. THIS MAY BE AT WORK, HOME, OR IN THE SCHOOL SETTING. THE WHEELCHAIRS ELECTRONICS ARE TO BE PROGRAMMED TO A VERY SLOW DRIVING SPEED WHILE IN THE ELEVATED POSITION. IF IT IS FELT BY THE REHAB PROFESSIONAL THAT A CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT DRIVE WHILE ELEVATED, A MAGNETIC SWITCH DRIVE LOCKOUT IS INSTALLED. ONCE THE CUSTOMER BEGINS TO ELEVATE, THE WHEELCHAIRS DRIVE CONTROLS ARE DISABLED. ONCE BACK IN THE LOWER POSITION, THE CHAIR MAY BE DRIVEN AGAIN.

BY DESIGN, THE E-2000 SYSTEM WILL ALLOW CUSTOM SEATING SYSTEMS TO BE MOUNTED. THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED BY THE USE OF A LOW-AMP DUAL DIRECTION TOGGLE SWITCH.

AI/ML Overview

This document [K992828](https://510k.innolitics.com/search/K992828) describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device: the "E-2000 Power Elevating Seat System". This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving safety and effectiveness through clinical trials with defined acceptance criteria and studies.

Therefore, the provided text does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or MRMC studies.

Here's why and what kind of information is present instead:

  • 510(k)s vs. PMAs/Clinical Studies: A 510(k) submission primarily compares a new device to a "predicate" device already on the market, arguing that they are "substantially equivalent" in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and safety/effectiveness. It generally does not require new clinical studies with predetermined acceptance criteria to prove efficacy and safety in the same way a Premarket Approval (PMA) application would for a novel device.
  • Focus of this document: The document focuses on:
    • Device Description: What the E-2000 Power Elevating Seat System is, its components, load capacity, elevation range, and design features.
    • Intended Use: How the device is meant to be used (on power and manual wheelchairs to elevate users).
    • Technological Characteristics Comparison: How it compares to the predicate device (Mechanical Application Designs, Inc: Liftmaster K972563) regarding mounting, installation, and versatility.
    • Indications for Use: Specific scenarios and patient populations that might benefit (e.g., Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis).
    • Substantial Equivalence Claim: The central argument that the E-2000 is substantially equivalent to the Liftmaster system.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table or provide answers to the specific questions because the document is a 510(k) summary, which does not typically include the detailed study design and results as requested.

The crucial piece of information missing for your request is a dedicated clinical study report with performance metrics, statistical analyses, and predetermined acceptance criteria.

INTENDED USE: THE E-2000 ELEVATING SEAT SYSTEM DESIGN IS INTENDED FOR USE ON POWER AND MANUAL WHEELCHAIRS. THE SYSTEM WILL ELEVATE CUSTOMERS ABOVE THAT OF THE STANDARD WHEELCHAIR SEAT TO FLOOR HEIGHT. IT ALLOWS THE CUSTOMER TO ACCESS AREAS, WITHOUT THE AID OF AN ATTENDANT THAT HAVE BEEN OUT OF THEIR REACH DUE TO THE STANDARD WHEELCHAIR SEAT TO FLOOR HEIGHT.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: ALTHOUGH SIMILAR IN DESIGN, THE MECHANICAL APPLICATION DESIGNS, TILTMASTER SYSTEM ONLY MOUNTED TO THE INVACARE STORM SERIES BASE FRAME, MAKING THE SELECTION OF WHEELCHAIR BASE FRAMES LIMITING TO THE CUSTOMER. THE E-2000 SYSTEM WILL BE AVAILABLE ON NUMEROUS WHEELCHAIR BASE FRAMES.

HE TILTMASTER SYSTEM WAS REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED AT THE TILTMASTER MANUFACTURING FACILITY. THE E-2000 SYSTEM IS A DEALER INSTALLATION. ACCELERATED REHAB DESIGN INSTALLATION IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

Dear Mr. Potter:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
