## LEGALLY MARKETED DEVICE FOR SUBSTANTIAL F. EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON

## SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE G. COMPARISON

The new device and the predicate device have the same intended use. Both devices have the same weight bearing capacity and both devices are foldable for transportation or stowage. The overall dimensions are similar. The differences between the new device and the predicate are chiefly in the frame materials and in overall dimensions. These differences are not safety related, so the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Ankova:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device w on re is above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate for associated in the May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k)
