Device Story

The Bruno Electra-Ride III Stairway Elevator System (Model CRE-2100) is a powered patient transport device (stairlift) designed to assist mobility-impaired individuals in navigating stairs. The device consists of a chair mounted to a rail system installed along a staircase. It operates via an electric motor to move the chair along the rail, allowing the user to be transported between floor levels. It is intended for use in residential or clinical settings to facilitate safe patient transfers. The device is operated by the patient or a caregiver using integrated controls. By providing mechanical assistance for vertical movement, the system reduces the physical burden on the patient and caregiver, thereby improving accessibility and mobility for individuals with limited physical function.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Powered patient stairway chair lifts: A powered patient stairway chair lift is a motorized lift equipped with a seat and permanently mounted in one location that is intended for use in mitigating mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by moving a person up and down a stairway. All other powered patient transport: A powered patient transport is a motorized device intended for use in mitigating mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by moving a person from one location or level to another, such as up and down flights of stairs (e.g., attendant-operated portable stair-climbing chairs). This generic type of device does not include motorized three-wheeled vehicles or wheelchairs.

Special Controls

(i) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must demonstrate that the safety controls are adequate to prevent a free fall of the chair in the event of a device failure; (ii) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing must demonstrate the ability of the device, including armrests, to withstand the rated load with an appropriate factor of safety; (iii) Appropriate restraints must be provided to prevent the user from falling from the device (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”); (iv) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of AAMI/ANSI/IEC 60601-1-2, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety—Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility—Requirements and Tests,” and ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety; and (v) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing must demonstrate the resistance of the device upholstery to ignition.
