### III. Device description
The device is Electric Wheelchair, model no. is DC01. An electric wheelchair is a four-wheeled personal mobile device with a complementary chair support system that is powered by two motors. The traveling speed is controlled by the motor, and the traveling direction is controlled by the passenger. This product is a device suitabled people with mobility difficulties and elderly people and it is intended to provide mobility to a disabled or elderly person limited to a seated position. The electric wheelchair can be travelled on flat and obstacle ground surface, and direction and speed of the wheelchair can be controlled by the passenger's hand with the help of the joystick. The device can be used to provide indoor and outdoor mobility at a certain distance but not allowed to be travelled on the road or highway.
The device consists of two parts: the electrical part and the wheelchair main body. The electrical part includes motor, electromagnetic brake system, battery box, controller and battery charger. The main parts of the wheelchair include front wheels, rear wheels, frame, armrest, seat and back cushion.
The device is powered by Li-ion Battery pack (24V 6Ah, 144Wh) with 20 Km (12.5 miles) range, which can be recharged by an off-board battery charger that can be plugged into an AC socket outlet (100-240V, 50/60Hz) when the device is not in use.
The patient can activate the controller handle (joystick) to control the speed and direction of the wheelchair movement. In addition, when the patient releases the joystick will return back to the central position and the wheelchair will be automatically stopped soon due to automatic intelligent electromagnetic brake system starts to work. Once the joystick is activated again move to other position, the wheelchair will be re-energized.
#### IV. Indication for use
The wheelchair (Model: DC01) is a motor driven, indoor transportation vehicle with the intended use to provide mobility to a disabled or elderly person limited to a seated position.
