## Indications for Use
It is a motor driven, indoor and outdoor transportation vehicle with the intended use to provide mobility to a disabled or elderly person limited to a seated position.
## Device Story
The EQ 20C is a motorized four-wheeled scooter for indoor/outdoor mobility. It features an un-foldable platform, adjustable tiller, two lead-acid batteries, motor/electromagnetic brake assembly, and seat/backrest. The user operates the device via a tiller handlebar and a thumb-operated potentiometer throttle control lever to manage forward/reverse motion. Releasing the throttle automatically engages the electromagnetic brake to slow the scooter to a stop. The device is intended for use by disabled or elderly individuals who require a seated transportation solution. It provides mobility benefits by allowing independent navigation in various environments.
## Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device complied with ANSI/RESNA WC Vol. 1 and 2, ISO 7176 series (stability, energy consumption, braking, etc.), ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), ISO 14971 (risk management), and electromagnetic compatibility standards (EN 61000 series, CISPR 11).
## Technological Characteristics
Motorized four-wheeled scooter; PU foam/nylon fabric seat; lead-acid batteries; electromagnetic brake; PG S-Drive 45A controller; 250W motor. Complies with ANSI/RESNA WC, ISO 7176, ISO 10993, and EN 61000 standards. Standalone operation.
## Regulatory Identification
A motorized three-wheeled vehicle is a gasoline-fueled or battery-powered device intended for medical purposes that is used for outside transportation by disabled persons.

wheels and two rear wheels, an adjustable tiller, two lead acid batteries with an on-board charger, a motor/electromagnetic brake assembly, a electric motor controller and a seat /backrest set.
The patient uses the tiller handle/handlebar for steering and a thumb operated potentiometer throttle control lever located at the top of the tiller to engage and disengage the scooter motion in both the forward and reverse directions. When the throttle control lever is released, the electromagnetic brake will be actuated and the scooter is slow to stop.
