Regulatory Classification

Identification

A permanently mounted wheelchair platform lift is a motorized vertical or inclined platform lift device permanently installed in one location that is intended for use in mitigating mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by providing a guided platform to move a person from one level to another, with or without a wheelchair. A portable wheelchair elevator is a motorized lift device that is not permanently mounted in one location and that is intended for use in mitigating mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by providing a means to move a person, with or without a wheelchair, from one level to another (e.g., portable platform lifts, attendant-operated stair climbing devices for wheelchairs).

Special Controls

(i) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must demonstrate that the safety controls are adequate to prevent a free fall of the platform in the event of a device failure; (ii) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must demonstrate the ability of the device to withstand the rated load with an appropriate factor of safety; (iii) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized edition of ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must demonstrate the ability of the enclosures to prevent the user from falling from the device; and (iv) Appropriate analysis and nonclinical testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions of AAMI/ANSI/IEC 60601-1-2, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety—Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility—Requirements and Tests,” and ASME A18.1 “Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chair Lifts”) must validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety.

Trade Name: JOURNEY TH: SUPRATM

Common Device Name: Inclined Platform Lift (IPL)

Predicate device: ThyssenKrupp Ceteco Inclined Platform Lift "Journey" K090856

## Product description:

The Thyssenkrupp Ceteco's JOURNEY and SUPRA are unenclosed Inclined Platform Lifts (IPLs) designed to carry a wheelchair and its occupant or a mobility-impaired person seated on a folding seat between floors in a public or private facility.

They are composed of two main parts the rail and the carriage. The rail is the part where the cariage is attached to and where it will move along. The carriage the carriage the carriage the carriage
transported is nositioned on transported is positioned on.

There are currently two different models designed to address different kind of staircases. 내

- The JOURNEY (technically called RPSP) is designed strictly for straight stainly for straight stainways. .
- The SUPRA, formerly JOURNEY CUBIC (technically called TP) is designed for straight and turning stairways.

Both mouels were included in the previous 510K submission from our Company (K090856) and were determined substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

We are hereby providing Additional and Expanded indications, with specific reference to the Supra model.

# What Supra differs from Journey in?

The two versions of the platform lift are equal for principles of operation, performances and safety devices; they differs mainly in the rail are open for principies of operation, performances and sarely

#### Rail Assembly

The SUPRA rail is made of two aluminum tubes vertically spaced, while the JOURNEY rail is made of a one-piece aluminum extruded profile.

## Drive System

The carriage is inserted into the rail and it moves by means of a set of wheels. The drive system consists of an electric motor and a worm gearbox that moves a pinion. The union engages a rack converting his rotary motion into a linear one, moving the platform up and down along the stainway. The drive system assembly is different in that the rail assembly differs itself.

The SUPRA main cariage is composed of two cast iron trolleys with six wheels for each trolley, which support the whole load of the platform. The two trolleys with six wheels in each tonley, which the stairway's angle.

The JOURNEY main carriage is composed of one carbon steel trolley, with six which support the whole load of the platform.

In both the models, the gearbox (worm gearbox), the motor, the safety brake and the limit switch are connected to the trolley. The more goalson, the motor, the saley unale and the limit switch are

# Power source of the carriage

Both the platform-lifts are powered by alternating current (AC). Both the machine could be equipped with an auxiliary emergency batteries system (optional), as a back-up in case of a power outage. This optional batteries system is placed inside a cabinet in a dry and covered place, separated from the carriage and the rail.

The SUPRA is equipped by a 24V Vdc drive motor and the rail's aluminum profile contains a bus-bar that is electrically permanent connected to the main electrical box (24Vdc). The back-up batteries (option) are directly connected to the two bus-bars and provide the low voltage current to the motor.

The JOURNEY is equipped by an AC three-phase drive motors that is feed by an altemating current. The main aluminum profile contains a cable chain with its electric wire, one end is attached to the drive unit's carriage and the other end to the main switch (permanently connected). The back-up batteries (option) are connected to an inverter which increases the tension and provide a three-phase alternet current to the motor.
