This 510(k) submission for the SpectraPulse® pulsed light device by Primary Technology does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria.
The document is a 510(k) summary of safety and effectiveness, which primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. It states:
"The differences in specifications of the Spectrapulse® and the predicate device(s) do not result in different performance or raise new questions of safety or efficacy. Based on the foregoing, the SpectraPulse system is substantially equivalent to the legally-marketed predicate device(s)."
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them cannot be extracted from the provided text. The document does not describe the specific performance characteristics of the SpectraPulse device or list any clinical or technical study data to support its performance beyond the claim of substantial equivalence.
