The results of these tests indicate that the Frontier Series Power Wheelchairs are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. #### PERFORMANCE - Static stability (per ISO 7176-1) ● - Dynamic stability (per ISO 7176-2) ● - Effectiveness of brakes (per ISO 7176-3) - Energy consumption (per ISO 7176-4) ● - Dimensions, mass, and maneuvering space (per ISO 7176-5) - Maximum speed, acceleration, and deceleration (per ISO 7176-6) - Measurement of seat and wheel dimensions (per ISO 7176-7) - Static, impact, and fatigue (per ISO 7176-8) - Climatic test (per ISO 7176-9) - Obstacle climbing (per ISO 7176-10) - . Test dummies (per ISO 7176-11) - Power and control systems for power wheelchairs (per ISO 7176-14) - Documentation and labeling (per ISO 7176-15) ● - Resistance to ignition (per ISO 7176-16) - Dynamic Test (per ISO 71716-19) - Vocabulary (per ISO 7176-26) # EMC AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY - EMC testing (per ISO 7176-21) ● - Batteries and chargers per (per ISO 7176-25) # BIOCOMPATIBILITY - Evaluation and testing within a risk management process (per ISO 10993-1) ● - . In vitro cytotoxicity (per ISO 10993-5) The materials used in the subject devices are identical composition, formulation processing, sterilization, and geometry as the materials found in the devices cleared in K030783, K142457, and K172384 . Furthermore, the Frontier Series Power Wheelchairs have the same nature of tissue contact and contact duration as the predicate and reference devices. Therefore, based on previous use and the cytotoxicity testing conducted, the subject devices are considered to have met the requirements of ISO 10993-1 and FDA's Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff – Use of International ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process." {11}------------------------------------------------ #### SOFTWARE - Software life cycle process (per IEC 62304) ## CONCLUSION Based on the testing performed (including wheelchair dynamic testing and flammability) it can be concluded that the subject devices do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate devices. The similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics for the proposed Frontier Series Power Wheelchairs are assessed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
