AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the Rüsch Microlaryngeal Tube. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to pre-existing devices, rather than presenting a performance study with acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML powered device.

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study data, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, and MRMC studies for an AI/ML device is not available in this document.

This document describes a traditional medical device (a tracheal tube) and uses substantial equivalence as its regulatory pathway, which involves comparing its design, materials, and intended use to legally marketed predicate devices. It does not involve any AI/ML components or associated performance studies.
