The AccuFix Radiolucent Patient Immobilization System is designed to be used with an Aquaplast RT Thermoplastic (K 935067) mold or mask to immobilize, position and reposition patients undergoing radiation therapy on a linear accelerator treatment table. The AccuFix Immobilization Board attaches or mounts to a treatment table or to a Qfix Radiolucent Replacement Couchtop, which in turn mounts to the treatment table. The patient is then positioned on the immobilization board as deemed appropriate by the treating physician. Warm Aquaplast RT Thermoplastic, in its pliable state, is then molded over the patient where it conforms to the patient's anatomy. As the Aquaplast RT Thermoplastic cools, it becomes rigid, creating a negative mold or mask of the patient's anatomy. This mold or mask can then be used to minimize patient movement, and accurately reposition the patient for subsequent treatment sessions.

Based on the provided text, there is no information available regarding acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets specific performance criteria. This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA, which primarily focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than detailed performance evaluations against specific acceptance criteria.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested information. The document does not describe:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, or the number/qualifications of experts.
- Adjudication methods.
- Information about MRMC comparative effectiveness studies or standalone algorithm performance.
- The type of ground truth used.
- Sample size for training sets or how ground truth for training was established.
The 510(k) clearance process primarily relies on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, often through comparison of technological characteristics and intended use, rather than extensive new clinical trials with detailed performance metrics and acceptance criteria.

Trade/Device Name: AccuFix Radiolucent Patient Immobilization System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.5050 Regulation Name: Medical charged-particle radiation therapy system Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 90 IYE
Dated: July 8, 2003 Received: July 15, 2003
Dear Mr. Kirk:
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 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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of the letter:
| 8xx.1xxx | (301) 594-4591 |
