AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the RBM suture retention device. It describes the device, its intended use, and compares it to a predicate device (MR-III). However, it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on regulatory submission for substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use alignment with a predicate device, rather than performance testing against specific acceptance criteria.
