The provided text is a U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device: "C&G Acupuncture Needle." This type of document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria studies, performance data, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment.
A 510(k) clearance letter primarily focuses on:
- Confirming that a new device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.
- Outlining the regulatory classification and general controls applicable to the device.
- Stating the intended use of the device.
To obtain the information requested, one would typically need to review the 510(k) summary document submitted by the manufacturer to the FDA, or potentially a clinical study report if such studies were conducted and summarized for the 510(k) application. These documents would detail the testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence, including performance data and the methods used to obtain it.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the given text.

Dear Mr. Cheng:
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.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
