Powered patient stairway chair lift; Intended for use in mitigating mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by moving a person up and down a stairway.
The product c-max+ (plus) offers motorized stair-climbing support for disabled seated persons e.g. with ambulatory impairments, including people with spinal cord injury, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, polio, rheumatism, etc. to move from one level to another.
With the c-max+ people can transport a patient safely and comfortably up- and downstairs. The maximum load is 300kg. The device is safe due to automatic brakes and a rigid frame. It is suitable for almost all kinds of stairs, winding stairs excluded. The climbing system requires low maintenance and care.
On stairs as well as on level ground C-Max+ proves its versatility. Removable arm rests make easy transferring from one chair to another possible. Due to its compact dimensions and foldable foot rest, the C-Max+ is easy to manoeuvre even on very narrow stair cases. For small, compact apartments with narrow doorways, the C-Max+ represents the ideal solution.
At the heart of the matter lies the patented climbing mechanism, which virtually climbs stairs all by itself. It also makes the C-Max+ particularly versatile and safe.
Once the patient has seated and fastened the seat belt, the care attendant needs little physical power to handle the C-Max+. The C-Max+ is individually adjustable. Wheels make the transport on the floor easy. The battery-powered stair-climbing mechanism is usercontrolled with adjustable speed and climbing-direction. The attendant can also choose a single-step-mode alternatively to fluent climbing. A safety-brake ensures safe stops during the stair-climbing.
The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the "c-max+ (plus)" powered patient stairway chair lift and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the "c-max". The document focuses on regulatory compliance through non-clinical testing against recognized standards rather than a clinical study with human subjects or AI-assisted performance.

The LIFTKAR PT™-S Is a method of transporting disabled persons, up and downstairs while seated on the stairclimber, and not in a wheelchair. This is done with a lifting mechanism. It is a battery on the bailed in the been and on a certified attendant and can be used on any stairs indoors or outside.
The LIFTKAR PT™ S is an attendant operated, battery powered lifting device that transports a disabled person in an integrated chair up or down stairs, not in a wheelchair. The LIFTKAR PT-S is designed for indoor and outdoor use allowing mobility for the person needing assistance.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the LIFTKAR PT™-S device, focusing on acceptance criteria and study details:
This submission is for a K111858, a 510(k) premarket notification. In a 510(k), manufacturers demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This typically involves showing that their new device is as safe and effective as the predicate device, often through performance testing and comparison of technical specifications. It's important to understand that a 510(k) does not usually involve extensive clinical trials like a PMA (Premarket Approval) application, nor does it typically detail acceptance criteria in the same way one might for a novel, high-risk device. The "acceptance criteria" here are largely implied by demonstrating compliance with recognized standards and equivalence to the predicate.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for the LIFTKAR PT™-S are not explicitly stated in a quantitative table with pass/fail thresholds. Instead, acceptance is demonstrated by conforming to relevant international standards and showing substantial equivalence in performance to its predicate device, the C-Max-U2 (K103122).
The following table summarizes the device performance of the LIFTKAR PT™-S and its comparison to the predicate, which implies the performance criteria were met if the LIFTKAR PT™-S's performance is similar to or better than the predicate and complies with the standards.

Study Details
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of number of devices tested for performance. It states that "The LIFTKAR PT™-S was tested by BERLIN CERT Pruf und Zertifizierstelle for Medizinnprodukte GmbH an der Technischen Universitat Berlin." This implies that the device (likely one or a few units representative of the production model) was subjected to performance tests. The testing focuses on mechanical, electrical, and safety aspects according to standards, rather than statistical sampling from a large test set.
- Data Provenance: The testing was conducted by BERLIN CERT Pruf und Zertifizierstelle for Medizinnprodukte GmbH an der Technischen Universitat Berlin (a German testing and certification body). This is in Europe (Germany/Austria). The study is prospective in the sense that the device was manufactured and then tested according to defined protocols to assess its conformance to standards and specifications. It is not a retrospective analysis of existing data.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This type of information (number and qualifications of experts for ground truth) is not applicable to this 510(k) submission. For a device like a powered patient transport, "ground truth" is established by direct physical measurement, engineering analysis, and evaluation against technical standards (e.g., measuring weight capacity, step height, battery life, and confirming compliance with ISO 7176-23). The "experts" involved would be the technical engineers and certifiers at BERLIN CERT, whose qualifications are implicit in the accreditation of the certification body, but not explicitly stated here (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience" is for diagnostic devices).
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies or image-based diagnostic device evaluations where subjective interpretation plays a role and consensus among experts is needed for ground truth. For a mechanical device tested against engineering standards, the results are objective measurements and pass/fail determinations based on those standards.
-
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:
- No. An MRMC study is not applicable to this device. This is a powered patient transport device, not a diagnostic imaging device with AI assistance for human readers.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This device is a physical mechanical/electrical apparatus, not an algorithm. Its operation inherently involves a "human-in-the-loop" (the certified attendant).
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- The "ground truth" used for this device's performance evaluation is based on objective physical measurements and engineering assessments against recognized international standards (ISO 7176-23:2002 for requirements and test methods for attendant-operated stair climbing devices, and DIN EN ISO 10993-5 for biocompatibility/cytotoxicity testing). The device's specifications (e.g., weight capacity, maximum stair height, battery life) are the defined parameters that the tests verified.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This device does not use an AI algorithm that requires a "training set." The training relates to the attendant who uses the device, not an algorithm.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As there is no AI algorithm training set, this question is irrelevant. Any "training" mentioned refers to the certification of the human attendant who operates the device.

The products c-max and s-max offer motorized stair-climbing support for disabled seated persons to move from one level to another with or without manual wheelchair adaption.
The provided text describes two medical devices, c-max and s-max, which are motorized stair-climbing support systems for disabled individuals. The information focuses on a 510(k) premarket notification for substantial equivalence, rather than a clinical study evaluating the device against specific acceptance criteria for performance.
Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study data, sample sizes, and expert adjudication methods is not present in the provided document, as it outlines a regulatory submission for device clearance, not a performance study report.
However, I can extract the information that is available:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" but lists safety and performance standards that the devices are stated to meet and provides technical data. The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred from the "Performance Standards" section.
Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Performance Standards) | Reported Device Performance (c-max and s-max families) |
---|---|

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not provided in the document. The document refers to meeting performance standards, but does not detail the testing methodology, sample sizes, or data provenance (e.g., specific test reports, countries of origin, or if the testing was retrospective or prospective).
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)
This information is not provided in the document. The document refers to meeting established performance standards (e.g., ISO, EN) but does not involve expert consensus on a test set for clinical performance.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not provided in the document. As this is a regulatory submission based on technical standards, not a clinical study with subjective interpretations, an adjudication method for a "test set" as typically understood in AI/clinical studies would not apply.
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
This information is not provided in the document. The devices (c-max and s-max) are motorized assistance devices, not AI-driven diagnostic or interpretative tools that would involve human "readers" or an MRMC study.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This information is not provided in the document. The devices are physical medical devices, and the submission is focused on their engineering and safety standards, not on the performance of a standalone algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
This information is not explicitly stated as "ground truth" in the context of a clinical study. However, the "ground truth" for demonstrating compliance with performance standards would be the results of standardized tests and measurements carried out according to the specified EN and ISO standards (e.g., measurements of lifting capacity, noise levels, vibration, battery life, step climbing height, and resistance to ignition).
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not provided in the document. This is not a machine learning or AI-driven device, so there is no concept of a "training set" in the context presented.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not provided in the document. See point 8.

- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
Summary of Available Information Related to Performance:
The document mentions some physical specifications and operational limits, which could be interpreted as inherent performance characteristics, but not as part of a formal study with acceptance criteria:
- Maximum patient weight: 350 lbs.
- Maximum travel speed at full rated load: 20' per minute.
- Angle of stairs: between 27-45 degrees.
- Maximum travel distance: 75'.
