Intended Use

proMedical Products Co. Ltd. intends to market Non-sterile surgical equipment covers which are protective barrier covers that are intended to cover equipment and provide a protective barrier for that equipment.

Device Description

Non-sterile surgical equipment covers which are protective barrier covers that are intended to cover equipment and provide a protective barrier for that equipment.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called "ProMedical Surgical Equipment Covers". It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving device performance in the way a diagnostic AI/ML device submission would.

The document pertains to a Class II device (Surgical Drape and Drape Accessories) which is a physical product designed to provide a protective barrier for surgical equipment. The FDA clearance is based on "substantial equivalence" to legally marketed predicate devices, not on a performance study against specific acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from this document. The questions you've asked are typically relevant for AI/ML-driven diagnostic devices that undergo rigorous performance evaluation studies, which is not the case for this type of surgical equipment cover.

The device, when it is an ear, nose, and throat surgical drape, a latex sheet drape with self-retaining finger cot, a disposable urological drape, a Kelly pad, an ophthalmic patient drape, an ophthalmic microscope drape, an internal drape retention ring (wound protector), or a surgical drape that does not include an antimicrobial agent, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 878.9.
