    Re: K101723

    Trade/Device Name: Compact Reclining Wheelchair Platform Regulation Number: 21 CFR 890.3110

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    The clinical treatment of persons in wheelchairs presents a significant issue for the clinician. Treatments related to a patient's head often require them to be reclined. The platform allows for reclining the wheelchair giving full support to both patient and clinician. The hazards associated with transfers to other couches or chairs are eliminated. Typical treatments would include: Dental, Maxiliofacial work, Ear, Nose and Throat procedures, Eye treatments and surgery, Podiatry.

    Device Description

    The Compact Wheelchair Platform (CWP) is designed to assist in the clinical treatment of wheelchair users by providing a convenient wheelchair accessible platform that can be tilted so that the head is placed in the optimum position of comfort for both staff and patient. It is a direct development of the Mobile Wheelchair Platform (K073565). The complete redesign more than halved the storage area and up-graded the load from a SWL of 594lb to 825lbs. The angle of tilt has been altered to 60deg to provide a recovery position. The Wheelchair platform is supported on two side frames with a high pivot point. The hydraulic cylinders are below the pivot and retract to tilt the platform. This gives a very compact form and with a hinged platform base the whole unit is no more than 24" wide. It can be easily moved through doors for sharing with other opertories. The whole construction is aerospace high strength aluminium alloys or stainless steel giving a high strength weight ratio. The unit is powered at 24v. The main source of power is from a pair of 12v lead acid batteries that can be easily replaced and last for at least 40 full cycles before needing to be recharged. A dc supply is provided to operate the machine from the mains supply if needed. The control is via a PCB with a PIC logic controller. All switching takes place at 5v and makes the controls light and reliable. The logic capability allows continuous monitoring of safety switching and the integration of good safety procedures. A radio handset is normally used to control the platform eliminating any trailing wires. Safety is a major concern and entrapment is eliminated by using sensitive, fail-safe, strip switches at all sensitive points on the mechanism. The radio handset and fixed switches on the machine are supplied to operate the device, duplicating the control function. All control and drive elements are housed safely under a cover. The machine has clean lines and is easily cleaned with wipe over surfaces.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the "Compact Wheelchair Platform":

    The provided document is a 510(k) submission summary for a medical device called the "Compact Wheelchair Platform" (CWP). It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device, the "Mobile Wheelchair Platform" (K073565). Crucially, the document does not describe a clinical study with a test set, ground truth, or expert involvement as one would typically expect for performance evaluation in the context of diagnostic or AI-driven devices.

    Instead, the "acceptance criteria" can be inferred from the technical characteristics and improvements made over the predicate device, and the "study" is more akin to a design and engineering validation against established safety and performance standards for this type of medical equipment.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Storage Area: Reduced from predicateMore than halved the storage area (vs. Mobile Wheelchair Platform)
    Lightness: Lighter than predicateLighter platform (implied by "smaller lighter platform" and aluminium/stainless steel construction)
    Maneuverability: Easily moved through doorsNo more than 24" wide; easily moved through doors for sharing with other opertories
    Safety - Entrapment: EliminatedEliminated by using sensitive, fail-safe, strip switches at all sensitive points on the mechanism.
    Control Reliability: Light and reliable controlsAll switching at 5v via PCB with PIC logic controller; continuous monitoring of safety switching.
    Power Endurance: >40 cycles without rechargeLast for at least 40 full cycles before needing to be recharged
    Optimal Clinician Operating PositionOptimal height at 45 degrees tilt (800mm); clinical stool can optimize seating position if desired for smaller angles.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    • None. This document does not describe a clinical study with a "test set" in the context of data analysis or machine learning. The evaluation is for a physical medical device. The "performance" assessment is based on engineering specifications, design improvements, and adherence to safety standards.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

    • Not applicable. There is no "ground truth" established by experts for a test set in the way you'd expect for a diagnostic device. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is derived from engineering standards, user feedback (clinical feedback), and the physical testing of the device against its specifications (e.g., load capacity).

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Not applicable. No test set or expert adjudication process is described.

    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 device is a mechanical patient positioning platform, not an imaging or diagnostic AI device. Therefore, no MRMC study or assessment of human reader improvement with AI assistance was performed.

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

    • Not applicable. No algorithms are described as operating in a standalone capacity that would require such testing. The device has a PIC logic controller for safety and control, but this is an embedded system, not a standalone AI application.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • The "ground truth" for this device's safety and performance is based on:
      • Engineering Specifications and Standards: "Rated capacity 660lb (BSEN1570:1999)" is an example, indicating adherence to an established standard.
      • Clinical Feedback/User Experience: "By utilising extensive clinical feedback Design Specific has been able to develop a backrest assembly..." indicates user input informed design changes.
      • Physical Testing/Validation: Implicit in meeting load capacities, tilt angles, and safety features like entrapment elimination.
      • Substantial Equivalence: The primary "ground truth" for FDA clearance is demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The design improvements were based on "extensive clinical feedback" (qualitative data from users) and engineering principles.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

    • Not applicable. As there is no training set as defined for AI or statistical modeling, this question does not apply. The evolution of the design, however, was informed by:
      • User feedback: "users expressed a need for a smaller lighter platform that would require a Timuse" and "The increase in body mass of the general population required that the new platform should be able to carry higher loads."
      • Clinical consultation: "By utilising extensive clinical feedback Design Specific has been able to develop a backrest assembly..."

    In summary: The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a physical medical device, not a diagnostic tool or AI-driven system. Therefore, the concepts of "acceptance criteria," "test set," "ground truth," and "expert adjudication" are interpreted through an engineering and regulatory lens, rather than a clinical study or AI performance evaluation framework. The primary "study" demonstrated how the new "Compact Wheelchair Platform" is substantially equivalent to a predicate device and incorporates improvements based on user feedback and adherence to relevant safety and performance standards.

    The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the Pride Mobility T3 Lift Chair. This is a medical device that assists individuals with mobility challenges in transitioning from a seated to a standing position.

    Here's an analysis of the provided information, specifically addressing the acceptance criteria and study details:

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

    For the Pride Mobility T3 Lift Chair, the "acceptance criteria" are based on its compliance with specific safety and flammability standards, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The device's performance is demonstrated by passing tests related to these standards.

    Acceptance Criteria (Standard Compliance)Reported Device Performance (Compliance Status)
    Flammability Testing:
    CAL 117 Sections A, D, & ECompliant
    BS5852Compliant
    Electromagnetic Compatibility:
    EN 61000-6-3 (Emissions)Compliant
    EN 61000-6-1 (Immunity)Compliant
    Medical Electrical Equipment Safety:
    EN60601-1 / A2: 1995Compliant
    Mechanical Integrity/Durability:
    Fatigue Testing - Cycle TestsPassed
    Fatigue Testing - Impact TestsPassed
    Fatigue Testing - Downward Force TestsPassed
    Substantial Equivalence:
    Comparison to Pride Mobility C5 (K070950)Deemed Substantially Equivalent (same intended use, similar technological characteristics, differences do not raise new safety/effectiveness questions)

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

    The document does not specify a sample size for a "test set" in the context of clinical data. The testing performed was non-clinical testing of the device itself (flammability, electrical safety, mechanical fatigue). Therefore, "data provenance" in terms of subject data is not applicable. The tests were likely conducted in a controlled laboratory environment.

    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 is not applicable to this device. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests (flammability, electrical, mechanical) is typically the standard itself (e.g., "does the material ignite within X seconds under Y conditions?"). Expert consensus in the medical or diagnostic sense is not relevant for these types of engineering and safety tests. The reports from the testing labs would serve as the attestations to compliance.

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

    This is not applicable as there was no clinical test set requiring adjudication of findings. The tests were objective assessments against established engineering and safety standards.

    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

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices (e.g., AI in radiology), not for a mechanical lift chair. The device's function is to directly provide lift assistance, not to assist humans in making a diagnostic interpretation.

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

    No, a standalone algorithm-only performance study was not done. This device is a mechanical chair, not an algorithm.

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

    The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests was the objective pass/fail criteria defined by the respective safety and performance standards. For example, for flammability, the ground truth is whether the material meets the specified burn rates or self-extinguishing properties outlined in CAL 117 or BS5852. For fatigue testing, the ground truth is whether the components withstand the prescribed number of cycles or impact forces without failure. For substantial equivalence, the "ground truth" is whether the technical characteristics and intended use align sufficiently with the predicate device.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This is not applicable as there is no "training set" in the context of an algorithm or AI model for this mechanical device.

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

    This is not applicable for the same reason as above.

    Trade Name: Standard Wheelchair Platform Regulation Number: 21 CFR 890.3110

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    Patients in wheelchairs present problems to clinicians who need to treat them and the patients themselves can be seriously disadvantaged by their situation. This is particularly true of dental treatment. To be treated the dentist would need to bend around the patient in the wheelchair, that cusses back pain and sometimes injury. An alternate approach is to transfer the patient to a conventional chair by slings and hoists or other approaches, all of which hold significant health and safety risks. The wheelchair platform offers a safe environment for both clinician and patient. The wheelchair is moved onto the platform up against a back wall support and the wheelchair and patient are then supported by a backrest and a head support. The platform is reclined, and possibly raised and lowered, to present the patient in the best position for treatment.

    Device Description

    The device accommodates wheelchairs in a secure way, to enable them to be tilted backwards. Patient support is by an adjustable backrest with head support using an adjustable head cushion. The primary use is with patients who cannot be easily transferred from their chairs for such procedures as dentistry, Podiatry, Ear, nose and throat, maxio-facial work. Basic Platform shape: Steel fabrication. Drive mechanism: Electrical Linear Drive. Power source: Battery 24v and Power supply delivering 24v. Backrest support: Pivots in and out adjustable by worm and wheel. Headrest: Adjustable using a slotted arm with an adjustable headrest cushion for neck and head support. Motions command input: Tilt only Fixed switches and radio remote control. Foot crush protection: Pressure sensitive mat and guarding. Max. angle of tilt: 45deg. Rated capacity: 594lb (BSEN1570:1999). Proposed uses: Dental and medical applications. Static or mobile: Mobile on air cushion pads or ball castors.

The device is used to alter postural positions and to provide a means of transferring a patient horizontally from a height adjustable bed or trolley, to the chair and vice versa. The chair can then be transformed from a supine position into the sitting position without ever lifting the patient.

    This device may be used on a wide range of patients, including adults and children up to 1000 pounds.

    Device Description

    The Convertible® Positioning and Transfer Chair construction is made of steel tubular components, on to which is fitted foam filled upholstery. The mechanism allows the Convertible® Positioning and Transfor Chair to transform from the horizontal supine position into a chair, which can then be tilted. This is accomplished through the hand-held controller, which in turn operates two DC linear actuators. The first DC actuator allows the Chair and patient profile to change from a sitting position to a horizontal or supine position suitable for transferring. The second DC linear actuator allows the I-1000 to be independently inclined to the rear (Tilt-in-Space). A hand-held push button controller is used to engage actuator motion and vary the I-1000's position. The electric system is composed of a 24-volt rechargeable battery, an external battery charger, and a control unit. Recharging of the battery is accomplished via the external battery charger.

    The Convertible® Positioning & Transfer Chair is ideal for moving those patients who are unable to move themselves. The Convertible® Positioning and Transfer Chair have been specifically designed to provide a means of transferring a patient horizontally from a height adjustable bed or trolley, to the chair and vice versa. The patient will always be supported either on the bed and/or the chair and is never suspended. To achieve this, The Barton® Positioning and Transfer System (PTS®) must be used.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: "Representative sample for the device" was used for load and repeatability testing. No specific number is provided.
    • Data Provenance: The tests appear to have been conducted by Barton Medical Corporation or its contracted lab (Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.) as part of the submission process, likely in the US (where the submitter is based) or Japan (where the manufacturer is located). This is a prospective engineering/device testing approach, not a retrospective analysis of clinical data.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable. This device is a mechanical positioning and transfer chair, not a diagnostic device or AI system requiring expert-established ground truth for its functional performance. The "ground truth" for its performance is determined by adherence to engineering standards and safety tests.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • Not applicable. See point 3. Testing involves objective measurements against engineering standards.

    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:

    • No. This is not a diagnostic device or an AI-assisted system. No MRMC study was performed.

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

    • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used:

    • Engineering Standards and Objective Measurements: The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by its compliance with specified international and national engineering safety and performance standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993-10, EN 12531-12, JIS T9201, JIS Z0237) and internal load/repeatability requirements.
