Intended Use

Quickie manual wheelchairs empower physically chailenged persons by Quickle manual whicelonano chaptires includes temporary and permanent conditions in all ages such as : Arthritis Amputee Paraplegic Cerebral Palsy Hemiplegic Tetraplegic Quadriplegic Spina Bifida Head Injury or Trauma Muscular Dystrophy Multiple Sclerosis Polio Geriatric condition and other Immobil- ing or debilitating condition A wheelchair with the Bus Transport option, may be used for motor vehicle transportation, with the use of Wheelchair tiedown and occupant restraint systems (WTORS) that meet the requirements of SAE J2249.

Device Story

Manual wheelchairs (Zippie, Quickie, Breezy series) modified with factory-installed or bolted-on securement hardware; enables use as vehicle seat during motor vehicle transport. Device does not include Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS); WTORS must be used to secure wheelchair to vehicle and restrain occupant per SAE J2249. Hardware provides designated attachment points for WTORS. Used by patients with mobility impairments; configured by healthcare professionals based on patient size/needs. Benefits include safe transport in motor vehicles without requiring transfer from wheelchair. Structural integrity tested to withstand frontal impact forces.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Wheelchairs underwent frontal impact crash testing to demonstrate structural integrity and ability to sustain forces during a 48-km/h, 20-g impact, consistent with SAE J2249 requirements.

Technological Characteristics

Manual wheelchair frame with integrated securement hardware for WTORS attachment. Configurable dimensions (14-22 inches width/depth). Mechanical construction; no energy source. Compliant with SAE J2249 for dynamic performance in frontal impacts.

Indications for Use

Indicated for individuals of all ages with temporary or permanent physical disabilities, including arthritis, amputees, paraplegia, cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, tetraplegia, quadriplegia, spina bifida, head injury/trauma, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, polio, geriatric conditions, or other immobilizing/debilitating conditions requiring wheelchair use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

#### 510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFICACY 13.0

Submitter: Rebecca Andersen September 16, 1997 Date:

Name(s) of the device(s):

Multiple

Identification of predicate device(s):

Sunrise Medical's Zippie, Quickie, and Breezy Series Wheelchairs

# Description of the device:

For people with disabilities who are unable to transfer from their wheelchairs when traveling in motor vehicles, the wheelchair must serve as the vehicle seat. Therefore, the wheelchair must be secured to the vehicle so that it does not impose forces on its occupant and/or become a hazard to other vehicle occupants in a collision or sudden vehicle maneuver. Providing occupant protection for the wheelchair-seated occupant, therefore, requires that equipment be installed to secure the wheelchair and restrain the user.

The bus transport models of the Zippie, Quickie, and Breezy Series manual wheelchairs are chairs that can be used in motor vehicle transport. The key change covered by this submission is the addition of securement hardware to the wheelchairs so that they can be used in motor vehicle transport. Each bus transport model includes securement hardware that is bolted to the wheelchair or installed at the factory. The securement hardware is identified by proper labeling. The labeling identifies the locations to which the wheelchair tiedown and occupant restraint systems or WTORS secure to the vehicle.

WTORS are complete restraint systems for wheelchair-seated occupants. They are comprised of a system or device for wheelchair tiedown as well as a separate system for restraining the occupant. WTORS include all anchorage hardware and anchorage fasteners (or specifications for anchorage fasteners) required for installing and using the system in a vehicle. These WTORS secure the wheelchair and the occupant to the vehicle; they do not secure the occupant to the chair. WTORS will not be supplied by Sunrise Medical.

{1}------------------------------------------------

The SAE J2249 Recommended Practice (Issued October 1996), "Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint Systems for Use in Motor Vehicles", applies to WTORS comprised of a system or device for wheelchair tiedown and a system or device for restraining the wheelchair-seated occupant. It specifies design requirements, test methods, and performance requirements for WTORS, requirements for manufacturer's instructions to installers and users, and requirements for product marking and labeling. SAE J2249 places particular emphasis on the design requirements, test procedures, and performance requirements for the dynamic performance of WTORS in a 48-km/h, 20-g frontal impact.

Sunrise chairs are configured to customer orders when sold. Configuration to order allows flexibility. Features such as width, depth, and back height are specified and may range from 14 to 22 inches. Specific configuration includes chair accessories and desired safety features. Any combination of features from the approved matrix may be configured to create the chair features needed by a given rider It is the rider and the health care professional that determine the appropriate configuration for the users needs. As the individuals condition or size change, other components or accessories may be ordered and the chair reconfigured to meet the evolving needs of its user.

Warnings, cautions and contraindications that apply to the use of WTORS are detailed in the users manual supplement, included in Appendix A

### COMPARISON OF DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS TO PREDICATE(S):

This device has the same technological and performance characteristics as the predicated devices. There are no new issues of safety or efficacy introduced by the bus transport models of the Zippie Quickie, or Breezy Series wheelchairs, other than the safe and effective performance of the wheelchair securement hardware. The safety of the occupant is controlled by the independent occupant restraint system. The chair related issues of safety for the occupant during a crash are related to the structural integrity and travel of the chair. The travel of the chair is determined by 1) the chair securement points, and 2) the performance of the WTOR (not our product). The wheelchairs made by Sunrise Medical have been throughly tested and have been shown to sustain the forces of a frontal impact crash test acceptably. The wheelchairs can be used in bus transport if they have the securement hardware, proper product labeling and are properly secured to the vehicle.
