Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called "AZ Ultrasonic System." It primarily confirms that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. The document does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on regulatory clearance based on substantial equivalence, not on a detailed study proving performance against specific acceptance criteria.
