Quickie Rhapsody, MWD Series II Power Wheelchair. K062701 (Primary Predicate) Quickie Rhythm Power Wheelchair (Controller Change), K083249 (Secondary Predicate)

No reference devices were used in this submission.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION IV.

The Ouickie® and Zippie® power wheelchairs are designed for indoor use at care facilities and private residences. The pediatric variant of the Quickie® Pulse 6, branded the Zippie® ZM-310, is intended to provide a slightly broader range of seating size options for people that are smaller in stature-including children. It varies from the Quickie® Pulse 6 only in having smaller seat options.

Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for Sunrise Medical. The logo features a stylized sun graphic on the left, with the word "SUNRISE" in orange letters to the right of the sun. Below "SUNRISE" is the word "MEDICAL" in gray letters. The sun graphic is a gradient of orange and yellow, with gray lines at the bottom.

Zippie® power wheelchairs are specifically for people who are slightly smaller in statureincluding children.

The wording of the Indications for Use statement has been modified to align it more closely with the wording of 21 CFR 890.3860 (Powered Wheelchair) but the intent is the same as for the predicate.

#### VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVCE

The Quickie® and Zippie® power wheelchairs are center-wheel-drive battery-powered wheelchairs which will perform optimally on firm even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and indoor flooring.

The wheelchairs have steel and aluminum frame structure which is welded and utilizes standard foams and covers for the seat.

The braking system can be initiated by either automatic or electric means. The brakes are automatically on except when the wheelchair is turned on and the joystick has been moved away from the neutral position. When the joystick is released or moved back to neutral, the brakes engage again. If the electrical brake system fails, the brakes will default to the closed, or "brakes on" position, thereby stopping the wheelchair.

Actuators allow the seating to be adjusted to suit the user and activity.

A control system (i.e. controller and joystick) controls motor, brakes, drive wheel and batteries. This product is appropriate for use by any individual who has the ability to drive a power wheelchair without having to utilize the services of an attendant. In addition, the controls give the optional capability for attendant control. The optional drive controller R-net system provides further features. The controller is fully programmable.

Technological characteristics are the same as for the predicate devices.

### VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

### Biocompatibility Testing

The materials used for the Quickie® and Zippie® power wheelchair components which have patient contact are the same as those used in the primary predicate device. Therefore, further testing was not required.

### Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing of Quickie® and Zippie® power wheelchairs was carried out to cover functional verification and device performance. Testing established correct functionality of the wheelchairs according to the relevant ANSVRESNA Wheelchair standards.

### Software Verification and Validation Testing

The Quickie® and Zippie® power wheelchairs contain software within the drive control units. The software in the two products is identical. A Letter of Authorization was provided by the supplier of the drive controller units in order access the medical device Master File for the controllers.

### Mechanical and acoustic Testing

Mechanical testing of Quickie® and Zippie® power wheelchairs was carried out to cover functional

verification and device performance. Testing established correct functionality of the wheelchairs according to the relevant ANSI/RESNA Wheelchair standards. No acoustic testing was required to demonstrate device safety and effectiveness of the wheelchair.

### Animal Study

Animal performance testing was not required to demonstrate device safety and effectiveness of the wheelchair.

### Clinical Studies

Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the wheelchair.

### VIII. CONCLUSIONS

Testing carried out for the Quickie® and Zippie® power wheelchairs indicates that they meet design and performance functional requirements and function equivalently to the predicate devices meet the relevant ANSI/RESNA Wheelchair standards.

This information indicates that the Quickie® and Zippie® power wheelchairs are equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of device safety and effectiveness.
