Indications for Use

The Inclined Platform-Lift "JOURNEY" is intended to mechanically transport one person in a wheelchair or in a fold-down seat up and down stairs in a private or public facility either in indoors or outdoors.

Device Story

The JOURNEY is an unenclosed inclined platform lift designed to transport a wheelchair user or a person with impaired mobility (seated on a folding seat) along staircases. The device consists of a motorized main-frame with a platform that travels along a guide rail system mounted to steps or walls. Two models exist: one for straight stairways (single guide) and one for turning stairways (dual parallel guides). Operation is controlled by the user via 'hold-to-run' buttons. Safety features include an over-speed governor, mechanical safety gear, emergency stop button, and anti-scissor/anti-crush sensors on the platform and body. The device is intended for use in private or public facilities, indoors or outdoors, to improve accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Motorized inclined platform lift. Materials: Extruded anodized aluminum or powder-coated aluminum guide rails. Energy source: Electric motor. Configuration: Single rail (straight stairs) or dual parallel rails (turning stairs). Safety mechanisms: Mechanical over-speed governor, safety gear, hold-to-run controls, emergency stop, and anti-scissor/anti-crush sensors. Installation: Stanchions anchored to steps or walls.

Indications for Use

Indicated for individuals with impaired mobility or wheelchair users requiring transport up and down stairs in private or public indoor/outdoor settings.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A permanently mounted wheelchair platform lift is a motorized vertical or inclined platform lift device permanently installed in one location that is intended for use in mitigating mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by providing a guided platform to move a person from one level to another, with or without a wheelchair. A portable wheelchair elevator is a motorized lift device that is not permanently mounted in one location and that is intended for use in mitigating mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by providing a means to move a person, with or without a wheelchair, from one level to another (e.g., portable platform lifts, attendant-operated stair climbing devices for wheelchairs).

Special Controls

(i) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of 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 platform in the event of a device failure; (ii) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must demonstrate the ability of the device to withstand the rated load with an appropriate factor of safety; (iii) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must demonstrate the ability of the enclosures to prevent the user from falling from the device; and (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.
