Device Description

The Adept 1064/532/755 Laser combines a long pulse Nd: Y AG laser which emits energies at 1064 nm with a KTP crystal which converts the 1064 nm laser to 532 nm and an alexandrite laser which emits energy at 755 nm.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text for Adept 1064/532/755 Laser (K032218) states: "Performance Data: None required. The claim of substantial equivalence is based on comparisons of specifications/characteristics and intended uses of the claimed predicate."

Therefore, based on the provided input, there is no performance data, acceptance criteria, or study described for the Adept 1064/532/755 Laser to prove it meets any specific acceptance criteria. The device's submission relies on showing substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on direct performance testing proving efficacy against defined metrics.

Consequently, none of the requested information (table of acceptance criteria, sample size for test set, expert qualifications, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, type of ground truth, training set size, or training ground truth establishment) can be extracted from the provided text.
