Not Found
The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a device called the "EP-4 Clinical Stimulator." This document confirms that the FDA has reviewed the premarket notification and found the device to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
However, this document does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance results, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or study designs (like MRMC or standalone studies). This letter is a regulatory approval document, not a clinical study report or a technical performance specification.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the detailed information about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them based on the provided text. The requested information would typically be found in a separate submission, such as an engineering report, validation study report, or clinical trial documentation, which is not part of this 510(k) clearance letter.

Trade Name: EP-4 Clinical Stimulator Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.1750 Regulation Name: External Programmable Pacemaker Pulse Generator Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 74JOQ Dated: January 29, 2004 Received: January 30, 2004
Dear Mr. Kuhn:
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 such 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. 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.
