AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a device called "TenderWet® Active." This type of document is for a medical device that demonstrates substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than a novel AI/software device that requires extensive performance studies against acceptance criteria in the manner you've outlined.

This document solely confirms that the FDA has reviewed the submission (K040517) for the TenderWet® Active device and determined it is substantially equivalent to existing devices, allowing it to be marketed. It does not contain primary study data or performance metrics against specific acceptance criteria.
