Indications for Use
The intended use of the Winco Inc. Model Power Series Lift Chair is to assist persons who have difficulty rising from a seated position to a standing position.
Device Story
Winco Power Series Lift Chairs are electromechanical devices designed for home or healthcare settings to assist users in transitioning from seated to standing positions. The device consists of two models: the 696 (standard, 300 lbs capacity) and the 905 (bariatric, 600 lbs capacity). Operation is electromechanical, utilizing an actuator to provide lift. The device is intended for use by elderly or physically challenged individuals. It functions as a mobility aid to improve patient independence and reduce physical strain during standing. No complex software or algorithmic processing is involved.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The actuator meets IEC 60601-1 requirements and upholstery meets CAL 117 flame retardancy standards.
Technological Characteristics
Electromechanical lift chair; includes actuator; upholstery meets CAL 117 flame retardancy; device meets IEC 60601-1 safety standards. Available in two models: standard (300 lbs capacity) and bariatric (600 lbs capacity).
Indications for Use
Indicated for elderly or physically challenged individuals who have difficulty rising from a seated position to a standing position.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An electric positioning chair is a device with a motorized positioning control that is intended for medical purposes and that can be adjusted to various positions. The device is used to provide stability for patients with athetosis (involuntary spasms) and to alter postural positions.
Special Controls
(1) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate that the safety controls are adequate to ensure safe use of the device and prevent user falls from the device in the event of a device failure; (2) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate the ability of the device to withstand the rated user weight load with an appropriate factor of safety; (3) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate the longevity of the device to withstand external forces applied to the device and provide the user with an expected service life of the device; (4) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must demonstrate proper environments of use and storage of the device to maximize the longevity of the device; (5) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of ANSI/AAMI/ES60601-1, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance,” and ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-1-2, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance—Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Disturbances—Requirements and Tests”) must validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety; (6) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1, “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process,” ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-5, “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part 5: Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity,” and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-10, “Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Skin Sensitization”) must validate that the skin-contacting components of the device are biocompatible; (7) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of IEC 62304, “Medical Device Software—Software Life Cycle Processes”) must validate the software life cycle and that all processes, activities, and tasks are implemented and documented; (8) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must validate that the device components are found to be non-flammable; (9) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must validate that the battery in the device (if applicable) performs as intended over the anticipated service life of the device; and (10) Adequate patient labeling is provided to the user to document proper use and maintenance of the device to ensure safe use of the device by the patient in the intended use environment.
