The Nasal-Aire //™ Interface is an accessory to positive pressure ventilation devices for patients suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea requiring positive pressure breathing therapy (i.e. CPAP, BiLevel)
Nasal-Aire IITM Accessory to a Positive Pressure Ventilation Device
This looks like a 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device (Nasal-Aire II accessory) that does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria.
The provided text is a standard FDA 510(k) clearance letter, which states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices. This type of clearance generally relies on demonstrating similarity to existing devices rather than presenting novel performance studies with specific acceptance criteria.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from the provided text. To answer your questions, I would need a different type of document, such as a summary of safety and effectiveness (SSE) or a clinical study report submitted with the 510(k) application, which would detail any performance testing conducted.

Dear Ms. Walker:
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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807): labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Also, please note the regulation entitled.
