Pace-Saver (Always American Made)
Today while many scooters and power chairs are made in low production cost countries like China, Pace-Saver continues the 30 year tradition of building to a higher standard of durability and reliability. We are the only manufacturer of scooters and power chairs to build all our models in the U.S.A. Because our products are built in the U.S.A., the FDA inspects our plant for design controls, good manufacturing practices and quality systems on a regular basis while foreign plants are not. Industry tests of foreign products reveal poor quality components and designs that do not work as claimed or worse are dangerous per the instructions in the owners manual. American made gives you a higher level of Quality Assurance.

Scout M1 & M1-350
Convertible Power WheelChair		Printable Brochure
		Drive With Ease - The M1 State-of-the-art controllers driving ease, power, speed & efficiency are generations ahead of the integral controllers (joystick & power module in one box) used on many powerchairs. M1’s patented dual direction drive is inherently the most stable drive platform. Directional Clarity - M1 Convertible™ patented flip-a-switch directional drive system features AAP (Accidental Activation Prevention) and is much more reliable than swivel seat switches. There is no chance of driving misdirection near stairs or platforms caused by the seat being swiveled a few degrees.

Directional Drive = Optimum Performance - For indoor maneuverability choose the short turning radius of front wheel drive and move outdoors with relaxing ease at 4.7 mph.
On inclines take advantage of the natural weight shift for traction and control. Go uphill in rear wheel drive and downhill in front wheel drive. If you prefer the feel of rear wheel drive, you have a custom program for ease of control and performance.

Safety Information

COMPETITORS TRAVEL SCOOTERS CREATE

SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES

80% of the new scooter FDA Serious Injury reports are from tip overs and falls. Many of these new scooter users could be placed in unnecessary, increased risk situations because of the way the regulatory process and scooters work (or do not work)!

There is the presumption that “FDA Approved” products must be safe. In fact, it is a violation of FDA Regulations to claim your 510-K product is “FDA approved”.

A 510-K is a Class II Medical Device premarket notification
process in which the FDA reviews the manufactures
submitted paperwork for clearance to sell the product.

The FDA does not test products for 510-K’s. The FDA reviews 510-K premarket paperwork voluntarily provided by the manufacturer/distributor. The FDA relies on the honesty of the applicant to do the required RESNA tests and accurately report the results.

As we have previously reported, we are very concerned about the safety of super short, narrow, lightweight scooters for everyday indoor usage. A major U.S. manufacturer’s owner’s manuals warned these scooters are so unstable that driving over a 1/2” indoor threshold or hitting an object in reverse on a flat surface could cause the scooter to completely tip over.

The following video graphically demonstrate how unstable a less than 40” long scooter can be.

Competitors Travel Scooter Fails U.S. Testing Requirements

This scooter has a FDA 510-K listing and is currently reimbursed by Medicare. The manufacturer owners manual rated the scooter safe for a 250 lb. user at a 13 degree incline. The driver is 240 lb. The scooter is on a flat level concrete surface. The test is per the RESNA Standard. The seat is in the worst case position as far up and back as the seat allows. The scooter is traveling backward and is not stopped by hitting an object. The scooter throttle is simply released and the scooter tips completely over just by its own braking system. Does the scooter tip over every time? No; but this is a flat surface. We are not crazy enough or don’t have the guts (take your pick) to repeat this test on a 5 degree incline, no less a 13 degree ramp.

It is not possible for new technology to make these super short, narrow, lightweight scooters overcome the basic laws of physics. What we really have is another import manufacturer inaccurately reporting the safety of their product. Unfortunately, another generation of senior citizens may have to be hurt to relearn the lesson of 15 years ago that these units are not safe in everyday use.

Medicare’s first three new scooter codes call out a scooter with only a 6 degree incline rating required. These new scooters are basically back to the original small size, low incline rated scooters that the travel industry moved away from 15 years ago because of injuries.

Medicare is paying for the scooter to be used indoors, but limited outdoor use is allowed. (We believe scooter users have a need and right to vote, go to the doctor, the pharmacy, the grocery store and church safely.) Two new FDA Serious Injury reports accurately predict what will happen if dealers are required to supply super short, narrow, 6 degree scooters instead of the 45” or 46” long - 24” wide, much safer industry standard units. The reporting manufacturer’s scooter is 40” long and 19.75:” wide. The first report states Serious Injury, Required Intervention “Tipped backward going up a ramp.” The second report states Serious Injury, Required Intervention “Customer rode unit on uneven terrain.”

In this day and age of undersized and unsafe scooters, we recommend that you confirm that the "Product you buy Passes the test, not just bears a label"

Two Critical Medicare Bariatric Factors

Medicare requires the dealer to certify the beneficiary can safely use the P.W.C. and it is usable inside the home. You will want to consider these two inherent Bariatric P.W.C. design problems when considering which chair to use.

USERS SAY BARIATRIC CENTER DRIVE CHAIRS DANGEROUS

In the past we have explained why center drive 6 wheel spring suspension power chairs are inherently the most unstable power chairs. Because of this they are inappropriate for bariatric users. The following actual user comments from a large manufacturer’s web site provide accurate descriptions of their problems.

“I have a ________. It has a number of design flaws, a couple serious enough to make the chair dangerous”. “First, the chair had to be designed with front anti-tip wheels because it lurches forward when coming to a stop”. “My chair also rocks like a rocking chair when it stands still”. “If I lean forward to type on my PC, my chair tips forward”. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost slid off my chair because I had to come to a sudden stop at the grocery store because someone comes out of an aisle without looking first:. “And I have fallen twice”. “And raising and lowering myself on my van’s lift is a nightmare because my chair is in full forward tip mode the whole time”. Another user’s comments about the same model, “My ________ almost tipped over the other day because it leaned forward too far and after only one year, one of the front anti-tip wheel shocks broke”. (The chair uses a spring front anti-tip system.) The inherent teeter-totter problems of center drive chairs are greatly exacerbated with a bariatric user’s super high center of gravity.

Our Boss uses a midi 3/4 design with drive wheel between front and center drive. This design has two advantages. First, the design greatly reduces the inherent instability of center wheel drive. The only time our adjustable rigid anti-tips are used is when stopping quickly on a steep slope or using our exclusive step off footrest chair access.

The 3/4 midi drive design provides a super short turning radius very close to the center drive radius. It is considerably better than front drive and vastly superior to rear wheel drive bariatric chairs.
Customer says Rear Wheel Drive Can’t be Used Indoors, and it’s only good for a doorstop!
Rear wheel drive bariatric chairs large size and poor turning radius make them unusable for indoor use. One customer actually wrote these comments on a dealer web site in frustration after the purchase of a rear wheel drive chair. Strengths - “Makes a good door stop”. “A bad design that’s time has long since outgrown its usefulness”. We continue to see manufacturers marketing rear wheel drive bariatric chairs even though the turning radius makes them unusable inside the average house. These manufactures hide this problem by not listing the terrible turning radius in their sales literature. The manufacturer of the chair the user comments are about goes even further to hide the design’s severe limitations. They don’t even reveal the huge turning radius in the Owner’s Manual.

The manufacturer must tell you the PWC turning radius so you can determine if the chair can be used inside the house. Otherwise you could be stuck with an unusable chair.

Information

HOW TO TRANSPORT BARIATRIC PATIENTS

From recent discussions and watching automotive shows on TV, I believe there is great misunderstanding about transporting a person in a wheelchair in vehicles. In particular there are major issues in transporting Bariatric persons. Let’s start by discussing the enormous forces involved. In a 30 m.p.h. crash you can see forces of 20 Gs (20 times the pull of gravity). A 350 lb. chair with a 650 lb. rider equals 1,000 lb. at 1 G and 20,000 lb. or 10 tons at 20 Gs. To put that in perspective, a Peterbilt Semi-tractor with crew cab option only weighs 18,000 lb. or 9 tons. So if a van hits a wall at only 30 m.p.h., the chair & rider are the equivalent of a Peterbilt tractor + 2,000 lb.. flying into the back of someone’s seat and out the front of the van. If a van stops quickly by just braking from 60 m.p.h. the forces involved are .5 to .75 G. We rate our 650 lb. Boss for a 7 degree incline. For safety each 650 lb. Boss brake is tested to the equivalent of a 15 degree incline fully loaded. But the braking forces involved in holding a Boss with a 650 lb. person when a van stops quickly can reach the equivalent of a 30 degree ramp or 4.2 times the incline rated holding power of the brake. There is no scooter or power wheelchair brake I am aware of that can hold at this force level repeatedly. Even if the brake did hold at .75 G, we still are not talking about what would happen in a simple 5 or 10 m.p.h. parking lot impact. We need to secure the chair and the rider.

Understanding the Current Testing Limitations

Currently the standard automotive seat belts used in the RESNA standard are rated for 9,000 lb capacity, 5,000 lap belt and 4,000 lb. upper torso belt. So the maximum rider weight is 450 lb. (20 X 450 - 9,000 lb). Currently there is no RESNA testing standard for persons above 450 lb. The standard states wheelchair and users with total mass greater than 275 lb. should be transported in a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 8,800 lb. - a Ford E-250 van or bigger. Wheelchairs with a mass greater than 275 lbs may use four point rear securement points and two front securement points. See drawing showing two rear and two front securement points.

Use of The Convenient Belt Lockdown System
A few years ago I visited a dealer who was doing a full package van conversion - power wheelchair platform lift, driving controls and bolt securement system. They had installed the bolt system in the floor and on the powerchair but I was surprised to see they were using the van’s seat belt system to restrain the occupant. When I returned home I called the Bolt System manufacturer and asked if it was acceptable to use their system with the user in the chair. They explained to me that their testing was for securing the wheelchair only. They do not take any responsibility for securement and safety of the rider if they are in the chair. Here is why that makes good sense. Let’s assume that the chair and rider are properly positioned in a safe zone so the air bag that explodes out at 200 m.p.h. in a crash doesn’t injure the rider. Remember the kids that died in improperly positioned car seats. Now in a 30 m.p.h. crash a 150 lb. rider stretches the belts like a string of a bow with the force of 3,000 lb. The belts release their energy and throw the rider back into the back and seat with great force. That back must be strong and tall enough to catch the person’s back and head and not collapse. With all the seating and back combinations therapists may use it is not possible to test them all in combination. The bottom line is the bolt system is only tested for securing the chair.

So how can we transport a Bariatric user and chair. First, you must have the Bariatric person transfer to seating provided by the van manufacturer. There is not a testing standard for a person that is greater or equal to 450 lb. The person in a van seat will be several times safer than in the wheelchair. Why, if for no other reason than the securement points are not designed to handle the Peterbilt combination of a 350 lb. chair and a 650 lb. rider. Even with four rear hold down points, by splitting up the total mass of the rider and chair gives the user a much better survival chance. Next, secure the chair separately. We will supply optional chair tie down points on any new Boss chair when requested at the time of sale. There must be two sets of rear floor attachment straps to secure the chair to the floor. In testing we did in 1988 with standard size chairs and riders the first component that failed was the rear floor strap attachment points. These comments are only suggestions. You must follow the requirements of each of the component manufacturers in the chair, seating system and van restraint system.

MODULAR CONTROLLERS ARE VASTLY SUPERIOR TO INTEGRALS

Integral controllers for Power wheelchairs are cheaper to build but will cost more in the long run.

Bulky integrals make it difficult
for you to get close to table/desk

Integrals are much more

We have used moderately priced dual modular component controllers exclusively for 4 years. While they are more expensive than the “built for cheapest initial cost integrals”, modular controllers are vastly superior in performance, safety and total cost.

Joystick module.
Control only joystick modules are an uncompromised design that is much smaller so the user can get several critical inches closer to tables or desks in everyday use. They are an ergonomically optimized design for ease of use. Front bumper ramps protect critical components like the joystick throttle from impact damage providing protection for greater reliability, fewer replacements and less down time.

Integrals must compromise combining controller and power function in one box and do both functions poorly when compared to modules.

Modular controllers are much less costly and easier to maintain over the life of the chair. Minor component repairs that are quick and inexpensive to repair on a module can require you to replace the entire $1,000.00 retail integral controller. If you damage the modular control circuit line, between the joystick and power module, it is a simple quick plug in of an inexpensive cable with no programming. With the joystick module the worst case is replacing the much less expensive joystick module. No programming required. In many cases the joystick throttle is easily replaced as a component and does not require replacing the joystick module. No programming required. Separate power modules, because they are an uncompromised design, have much bigger heat sinks protecting the power components much better and providing longer life and reliability.

On integral controllers if you damage the power control cable badly, in many cases you will have to replace the entire $1,000.00 controller. If you run the joystick throttle into/under a table (which is easy to do) damaging it, you could have to replace the entire integral controller. Integral controllers overheat much more quickly doing the same load of work, significantly reducing controller life.

Replacing an integral requires much higher labor costs. The product knowledge and time required to reprogram, remove and replace wiring from the battery to the controller and motor is much greater than simply plugging a control cable into the two modules.

Modular controllers are much more efficient and powerful.
Modular controllers have two to three times shorter energy wasting power lines than integrals. Modules can provide up to two hundred watts more power to the motors because they have only 2 - 3 feet of power cable between the battery, controller and motor. This is critically important for bariatric and all day chair users.

Inefficient integrals waste power because high current must travel 8 or more feet from the battery up to the arm mounted integral controller and back down to the motor. Because of wasting more power per trip from the heating of wires, batteries can get deeply discharged sooner. Deep cycling batteries dramatically reduces battery life. This inefficiency also means less use time per day and less range for heavy users.

Uncompromised Power Module.
The optimized power module provides much greater power output without endangering users. This is critical for bariatric and all day chair users.

Separate power modules have much bigger heat sinks (more metal to absorb heat) which makes the chair controller run much cooler and longer. The separate power modules provide much greater power efficiently. We use power modules providing massive 90 amp peak power per channel, 180 amp total in a moderately priced modular controller. With uncompromised power modules we do not see the FDA incidents other manufacturers are reporting of controllers rolling back or dying, leaving users stranded on hills or in the middle of streets. Even if the power module gets hot it is not next to the user’s arm or leg so it can’t burn them like integrals do.

The integral compromised design has much smaller heat sinks because of limited space. Small heat sinks cause the metal case to get very hot. One manufacturer reported to the FDA several users burning their legs. One user required plastic surgery with skin grafts to repair third degree burns. Manufacturers have tried putting insulation pads on the inside of integral controllers to protect users from hot surfaces but this insulation caused the controller to over heat even faster, causing thermal roll-back and stranding more users.

The modular controller design is inherently less prone to EMI malfunctions. Because high power lines are not touching and wrapped inside the same cable as the sensitive micro amp control lines, the electromagnetic waves created from the high power lines are not transmitted into the control cable causing erratic performance.

When comparing power wheelchairs the controller is the first and most important quality feature to consider.
