The submission is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (NuVasive® Mesh), which primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than detailed performance studies with acceptance criteria.
The submission explicitly states:
- "G. Summary of Non-Clinical Tests (Not Applicable)."
- "H. Summary of Clinical Tests (Not Applicable)."
- "I. Conclusions of Non-Clinical and Clinical Tests (Not Applicable)."
This indicates that no specific non-clinical or clinical studies, as typically understood for demonstrating performance against acceptance criteria, were presented or required for this 510(k) submission. The FDA clearance was based on substantial equivalence to existing devices.
