AI/ML Overview

The provided text is related to a 510(k) submission for the Manual Touché Suturing System. However, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance testing, or study details (like sample size, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, or training set details).

The document primarily focuses on:

  • Identifying the device (Manual Touché Suturing System).
  • Claiming substantial equivalence to predicate devices (Powered Touché Suturing System and Salute Fixation System).
  • Describing the subject device and comparing its technical aspects to predicate devices.
  • Stating its intended use and indications.
  • Providing the FDA's clearance letter for the device.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from this document, nor can I provide information on the study design elements you asked for. The document does not describe the specific testing or studies conducted to prove the device meets performance criteria.
