Indications for Use

The TRX Vertical Positioner is appropriate for use by any individual who drives a power wheelchair and who desires or requires a change of position without having to utilize the services of an attendant. Needs for position changes include: - All positioning benefits associated with the tilt/recline product -. > Comfort As with any individual able-bodied or disabled changes in position are necessary to maintain a state of comfort. > Repositioning Individuals without adequate upper-body stability can be tilted to allow gravity to hold them in position. > Pressure relief Individuals who wish, from time to time, to redistribute pressures from one area of the body to another, can do so by tilting, reclining or vertical positioning. By changing the individual's orientation in space, pressures caused by gravity will shift. - Positioning/Versatility Individuals are able to reach higher elevations, increasing their . range of motion and accessibility. The TRX Vertical Positioner is used to add the vertical positioning function to the tilt, recline, and elevating functions already available in with the TRX Power Positioning System defined in K021264.

Device Story

TRX Vertical Positioner is an accessory for power wheelchairs; adds vertical positioning to existing tilt, recline, and elevating functions. Input: user-operated switches (push buttons/toggles) or wheelchair joystick. Operation: coordinates elevating and reclining motion with anterior tilt to transition user from seated to vertical position. Output: physical change in user orientation. Used by wheelchair-bound individuals in various settings. Safety features: drive lock-out (prevents driving if tilted >20° or elevated >1/2"), front anti-tipper extensions, and active track suspension lockout. Benefits: independent pressure relief, improved comfort, and increased reach/accessibility. Installed by qualified dealers.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only performed to ensure stability and safety of the power wheelchair system following the addition of the vertical positioner.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: steel and aluminum, powder coated. Energy: 24V electrical system with fuses and current limiters. Actuation: electromechanical, controlled via switches or joystick. Features: drive lock-out, anti-tipper extensions, suspension lockout. Connectivity: none. Sterilization: N/A.

Indications for Use

Indicated for individuals who drive a power wheelchair and require or desire independent position changes for comfort, pressure relief, repositioning due to lack of upper-body stability, or increased reach and accessibility.

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.

The Vertical Positioner functions by coordinating the elevating and reclining motion with an anterior tilt motion to change the user from an upright seated position to a vertical position and back again. The TRX Vertical Positioner is assembled using primarily steel and aluminum, powder coated parts. The vertical positioning is be activated using TRx switches consisting of either push buttons or togale switches, or through the wheelchair joystick. Additional safety features include a drive lock-out which prevents the user from driving the power chair while tilted beyond a pre-set limit of 20° from the vertical or elevated beyond 1/2". The system also includes extensions for the existing front anti-tipper wheels to provide additional front stability, and a lockout for the active track suspension in the vertical positioning mode. Electrical components are a maximum of 24 volts with a fuse between the batteries and the relay box and current limiter built into the relay box. Stability of the TRX Vertical Positioner was tested in our facility to ensure that the safety of the power wheelchair was not compromised by the addition of the system. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## Statement of Indications for Use: The TRX Vertical Positioner is appropriate for use by any individual who drives a power wheelchair and who desires or requires a change of position without having to utilize the services of an attendant.

The TRX Vertical Positioner is used to add the vertical positioning function to the tilt, recline, and elevating functions already available in with the TRX Power Positioning System defined in K021264. Motion Concepts makes no claims as to the therapeutic effectiveness of the products. Our only claims relate to the ability of the products to provide safe and reliable powered repositioning on the equipment onto which they are installed. TRX Vertical Positioners are to be installed ONLY by qualified Dealers. ## Substantial Equivalence Comparison: 1100315 Ontario Limited claims that our product is substantially equivalent to the Mobile LCM as manufactured by Levo. The pre-existing device is classified as Class I as listed in 21 CFR Parts 890.3860. The Levo 510(k) document control number is K963817. Both the TRx Vertical Positioner and the Levo Mobile LCM systems are devices that are used on power wheelchairs in order to provide the user with the capability to change his/her position from a seated position to a vertical position and back. Both products use similar components. Both are fabricated from steel and aluminum and have a generally similar mechanical operation. Both systems combine the anterior tilting and reclining action to achieve a vertical position. The following is a comparison of the Mobile LCM and the TRx Vertical Positioner. {3}------------------------------------------------ #### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services - USA. The seal is circular and contains the department's name around the perimeter.
