The sunglasses we produce consist of metal or plastic frames with absorbing, reflective, tinted or photosensitized "Impact Resistant Lenses" made from glass or plastic. As a medical device, its main use is to protect the eyes from bright sunlight. It is available in touring, sport and other model types but should not be used in situations requiring industrial safety lenses. It also can't provide refractive corrections.

I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain the information required to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria. The document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for "Sunglasses" (K971551), indicating that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
The letter explicitly mentions:
- Trade Name: Sunglasses
- Regulatory Class: I
- Product Code: 86 HQY
- Indication For Use: "The sunglasses we produce consist of metal or plastic frames with absorbing, reflective, tinted or photosensitized 'Impact Resistant Lenses' made from glass or plastic. As a medical device, its main use is to protect the eyes from bright sunlight. It is available in touring, sport and other model types but should not be used in situations requiring industrial safety lenses. It also can't provide refractive corrections."
However, it does not provide:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Details about specific studies, like sample sizes, data provenance, ground truth establishment, or expert involvement.
- Information on MRMC comparative effectiveness studies or standalone algorithm performance.
The FDA 510(k) clearance process for Class I devices like sunglasses often relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than requiring extensive clinical trial data with specific performance metrics as might be seen for higher-risk devices or software as a medical device (SaMD). The criteria are typically related to material safety, optical properties (e.g., UV protection, impact resistance), and labeling.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the specific details of acceptance criteria and study data based on the provided text.

Dear Ms. Chen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
