EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON | 1. | Manufacturer: | Otto Bock, LP | |----|----------------------|-----------------| | | 2. Model: | Start Basic | | | 3. Cleared under: | K052681 | | | 4. Date Cleared: | October 6, 2005 | | | 5. Class: | Class I | | | 6. Regulation Number | 890.3850 | | | 7. Product Code(s): | IOR | ## 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. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
