Mobility Scooter HS-666 is an indoor/outdoor three-wheeled scooter which is battery operated. It has a base which connects the three wheels, an adjustable steering column, and a seat for the rider. It is driven by the rider using hand controls located at the top of the steering column. It can be disassembled into five parts for transport. It is provided with a battery charger. The C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666 is a new device, not a modification of a previously cleared device. Numerous motorized scooters are currently on the market. ## Device Description #### Scooter The C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666 is a battery-powered scooter with three wheels. Its design is similar to many other models on the market. Its main parts are a platform base which connects the front and rear wheels, an adjustable seat, and a steering column with control panel. It also has a detachable front basket. The scooter is designed for one person and can be used indoors or outdoors. Diagrams illustrating the scooter features are included in Appendix I. Diagram 1 shows a side view of the scooter with all major parts labeled. Diagram 2 shows front, rear, and side views of the C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666 with major dimensions given. The scooter can be disassembled for transportation into five components: the rear drive unit, the front platform unit which includes the steering column, the seat, and the two batteries. The heaviest part is the rear unit which weighs 57.5 Ibs. The whole scooter with the batteries weighs 179.7 lbs; 129 lbs. without batteries. Assembly of the scooter does not require any tools. The wheel and tire assemblies are 11" in diameter. The electrical cables run from the control panel, through the steering column, under the platform, and to the batteries. When assembling the scooter, electrical connections must be made between the front and rear units. Each battery must be connected to the electrical system. There is also a circuit breaker in the line. All controls for the scooter are located at the top of the steering column and are operated with the hands. Diagram 3 in Appendix I shows the controls on the top of the steering column. Handlebars protrude from either side of the steering column. These keep the hands in the correct position to operate the controls and to steer. The whole steering column is turned in the direction that the operator wants to go. The minimum turning radius of the scooter is 100 cm. Just inside the handlebars are two thumb-control levers. Pushing these levers allows the scooter to move. {3}------------------------------------------------ The right lever moves the scooter forward; the left one moves it backward. As soon as either thumb control lever is released, the brake engages. On the back of the steering column are the key hole and the charger plug-in. The battery charger plugs directly into the steering column to recharge the batteries. On the control panel there are buttons for sounding the horn, turning on/off the headlight, and signaling turns. There is also a speed dial with a rabbit indicating higher speed at one end and a turtle representing lower speed at the other end. Maximum forward speed on a flat surface is 5.5 mph. Maximum speed in reverse is 2.2 mph. Turning the speed knob to the turtle picture reduces the speed to 2.2 mph in the forward direction and to 0 in the reverse direction. There is a power reserve indicator which shows the battery reserve. Below this light are red, yellow, and green color zones. When this light is completely lit, the batteries are fully charged. When the light is lit only in the red and yellow zones, the batteries should be recharged as soon as possible. There is also a self-diagnostic warning light which blinks to indicate selected problems with the scooter. Generally speaking, the scooter can not be driven when the self-diagnostic light is flashing. The number of flashes helps determine the problem. When the light is making only one flash, indicating low batteries, the scooter can still be driven. The self-diagnostic signals are: | Number of flashes | Problem | |-------------------|--------------------------------| | 1 | battery needs recharging | | 2 | dead battery | | 3 | battery overcharge | | 4 | electrical short | | 5 | brake problem | | 6-9 | electrical system malfunctions | Explanations of the problems and solutions are described in the Instructions for Use for the scooter, which are included in Appendix II. The braking system is electric. It is on the rear wheels only. The cables for this system run from the steering column to the rear unit. The brakes are automatically "on" except when one of the thumb-control levers is being pushed. Only under these conditions will the brakes disengage. Release of the thumb-control levers engages the brake. Braking time is less than 1 second and braking distance is less than 1 meter. If the electrical brake system fails, the brakes will default to the closed or "brakes on" position, thereby stopping the scooter. A diagram of the brakes is in Diagram 4 in Appendix I. There is also a free-wheeling device on many scooters. On the C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666 it is located near the base of the seat post. The normal position of {4}------------------------------------------------ C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666 510(k) Notification Page 8 > the lever is "D". In this position the scooter will not move without turning on the key and having charged batteries. Moving the lever to the position marked ''N'' allows the scooter to be rolled freely without the key being turned on. This feature is very useful when maneuvering the scooter for battery charging or storage. The scooter is not intended to be ridden at all in this free-wheeling mode. #### Batteries The C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666 runs on two 12 volt SLA (sealed lead acid) or gel cell batteries. These batteries are provided with the scooter. Replacements can be obtained from the distributor or other local sources. # Battery Charger The battery charger is also provided with the scooter. It is a 24 volt constant current charger. It plugs into a standard 110 volt wall socket or into a 220 volt socket. ## Accessories Optional accessories include: a rear basket, a storage cover, a cane holder, and a mirror. # Regulatory Status The C.T.M. Mobility Scooter HS-666 is a new device which has not been previously submitted to the FDA. {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/2 description: The image is a black and white logo for the Department of Health & Human Services USA.
