The provided document is a 510(k) summary statement for the Sciton Inc Image Hair Removal Laser. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and does NOT contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets those criteria.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document does not describe:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes used for a test set, data provenance, ground truth establishment, or expert details.
- Adjudication methods.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness studies.
- Stand-alone performance studies of the algorithm.
- Details about the training set size or how its ground truth was established.
This document is a regulatory submission for premarket notification, which typically focuses on demonstrating that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to an already legally marketed device, rather than detailed clinical study results establishing performance against specific acceptance criteria.

Dear Mr. Allen:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898.
