This wheelchair is a manual attendant-operated wheelchair intended to provide mobility to people with reduced-mobility problems.
Device Story
The Oceanic is a manual, attendant-operated wheelchair designed for mobility across diverse terrains, including sand, snow, gravel, grass, and aquatic environments (pools, oceans, lakes). The device consists of a chassis, wheels, foldable armrests, foldable footrests, and a steering/traction bar. It is operated exclusively by an attendant; the user cannot self-propel. The device is available in two configurations: Oceanic (max load 100kg) and Oceanic Baby (max load 50kg). Constructed from aluminum and aquatic-compatible materials, the chair is fully submersible. The attendant uses the steering/traction bar to maneuver the chair, facilitating patient access to environments otherwise difficult to navigate. By providing stable, water-resistant mobility, the device enables patients with reduced mobility to participate in outdoor and aquatic activities, improving quality of life.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Stability, dimensions, and mechanical performance testing were conducted to evaluate safety and effectiveness. No clinical data was required or provided.

#### INTENDED USE
This wheelchair is a manual attendant-operated wheelchair intended to provide mobility to people with reduced-mobility problems.
#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The Oceanic is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above. The all have similar technological characteristics and indications of use. The overall design of the Oceanic and the predicate wheelchairs are similar too. All of them are suitable to be used in various kind of water (pools, oceans, lakes and ponds). All these devices consist of 3 or 4 wheels with a chassis and a push bar. The Hippocampe has three wheels like the while the other two have four. This difference does not affect the safety or Oceanic effectiveness of the Oceanic as safety tests (stability tests) has been carried out successfully using the Oceanic.
A minor difference between the Oceanic and the Hippocampe and BD Perks is that the Oceanic does not have a pushbar, but just because it compromises a steering/traction bar to be propelled. The Landeez is also intentded to be used with the help of an attendant.
#### PERFORMACE TESTING
Testing has been performed to evaluate the overall stability, dimensions and mechanics of the Oceanic. The testing showed that the Oceanic is safe and effective for its intended use.
