Device Story

FirstClass™ Power Recline Seat System Model S500 is a powered seating system designed to provide pressure relief through postural change. Operated by patients with limited mobility or caregivers, the system facilitates recline movements that the user cannot perform independently. By enabling frequent position changes, the device helps prevent pressure-related complications in patients with conditions such as spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy, or stroke. The system is intended for use in clinical or home environments where patients require assistance with seating posture to manage pressure distribution.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on device design and intended use for pressure relief via postural change.

Technological Characteristics

Powered recline seat system; electromechanical actuation for postural adjustment; designed for patient support and pressure relief; dimensions and materials not specified in provided documentation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for individuals requiring pressure relief or postural changes who are unable to perform these movements independently due to conditions including SCI, TBI, Muscular Dystrophy, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, CVA, or other mobility-limiting injuries/conditions. Use determined by clinical evaluation of patient strength, sensation, and mobility needs.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A powered wheelchair is a battery-operated device with wheels that is intended for medical purposes to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting position.
