## Indications for Use

The intended use of the Ability Power Gurney is to provide mobility to persons limited to a prone position, that have the capability of operating a powered wheelchair.

## Device Story

Ability Power Gurney is a battery-powered, motor-driven wheeled stretcher designed for mobility of patients restricted to a horizontal/prone position. Device features a welded steel frame, caster-mounted design, and variable height top surface for pressure relief and access. Operated by the patient via a Penny and Giles VSI controller joystick and 70amp controller; powered by two 12VDC Group U-1 Gel batteries with a 15-mile range. Includes provisions for patient securement straps and fluid infusion equipment. Used in clinical or home environments to provide independent mobility to physically challenged individuals. Output is physical movement of the stretcher controlled by the user; benefits include increased patient independence and mobility.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing and performance verification against recognized standards, including ANSI/RESNA WC/14 (1991) and ISO 7176:1993 (E) for power and control systems, as well as electrical safety standards (IEC 601-1-1, IEC 601-1-2, UL 2601-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2).

## Technological Characteristics

Welded steel frame; caster-mounted design; variable height top surface. Powered by two 12VDC Group U-1 Gel batteries. Control system: Penny and Giles VSI controller joystick and 70amp controller. Meets California 117 standards for fire retardancy. Complies with ANSI/RESNA WC/14, ISO 7176, IEC 601-1-1, IEC 601-1-2, UL 2601-1, and CAN/CSA-C22.2 standards.
