### Name of Device and Proprietary Name:
Q6 Edge EM
### Common or Usual Name:
Powered wheelchair
### Classification Name:
Physical Medicine / Powered Wheelchair
### Product Code:
ITI
### Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The Q6 Edge EM is substantially equivalent to the Pride Mobility Jazzy 600 (K042612), when comparing performance, maneuverability, stability, and structure. The performance characteristics and the position of the electronics and drive mechanisms are similar to achieve the same intended use function that enables the user to maintain optimum stability without hindering performance.

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Pride Mobility Products Corp. The word "Pride" is written in a large, bold, red font with a gradient effect, making it appear three-dimensional. Below "Pride", the words "Mobility Products Corp." are written in a smaller, black, sans-serif font.
The major differences between the Q6 Edge EM and the Jazzy 600 (K042612) are as follows:
- · The Q6 Edge EM has a lower weight capacity of 200 lbs versus 300 lbs for the Jazzy 600.
- . The Q6 Edge EM is slightly larger dimensionally (47.5" L and 27.5" W) versus the Jazzv 600 (35,25" L and 23,5" W).
- . The Q6 Edge EM utilizes Curtis electronics (previously utilized on K112815 submission) versus Flight electronics on the Jazzy 600.
- . The Q6 Edge EM will utilize a secondary power actuator assembly in the base to lock the casters for additional stability.
## Device Description:
The Q6 Edge EM is a Powered Wheelchair having a digital controller, electrical system, motors, encoders, batteries, seating, actuator driven stability system, and frame. The Q6 Edge EM is equipped with electronic, regenerative disc brakes, off-board battery charger, removable 12 Volt U1 batteries, and front and rear caster wheels.
The Q6 Edge EM is designed with ultimate safety, stability, and performance in mind. The Powered Wheelchair is designed for, but not limited to Pride Mobility Products Corporation, providers/retailers and their consumers.
The Q6 Edge EM will incorporate all of the same features as current devices with elevation, but will utilize a secondary power actuator assembly in the base to lock the casters for additional stability. The actuator will be controlled through the current control system. The addition of the actuator assembly is the reason for this change.
The Q6 Edge EM utilizes a digital controller with a Class 1 Bluetooth®. The actual power output of the Bluetooth® device is 10 dBm (which is 10 mW) maximum output power at 50 Ohm impedance, and the maximum range is 40 m. The specific RF wireless technology type for this Bluetooth® is a Co-existence with IEEE 802.11 (AWMA, AFH). The Bluetooth® has 128-bit encryption security. The Bluetooth® allows clients to connect to a computer, smartphone, and tablet. The Bluetooth® is not active during driving or seating operation.
### Intended Use:
The intended use of the Pride Mobility Products Corporation Q6 Edge EM is to provide mobility to persons limited to a seated position that have the capability of operating a Powered Wheelchair.
### Non-Clinical Testing:
Compliance to applicable Testing Standards is as follows (Refer to 7F for FDA-3654):

# Discussion of Clinical Testing Performed:
N/A
# Conclusions:
The Q6 Edge EM Powered Wheelchair has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the Jazzy 600 (K042612), moreover, the non-clinical testing and the predicate comparisons demonstrate that any differences in their technological characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Q6 Edge EM is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, has passed all the necessary testing, and is considered to be safe for user operation
