K180309 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Manual Wheelchair W54. Classified as Wheelchair, Mechanical (product code IOR), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Jiangsu Jumao Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. (Danyang, CN). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 3, 2019 after a review of 455 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Physical Medicine FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 890.3850 - the FDA physical medicine device framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Physical Medicine submissions.
