Device Description

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA to Helio Medical Supplies, Incorporated regarding their Press Tack/Intradermal Acupuncture Needles. This document is a regulatory approval letter and does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving device performance as typically understood for medical device AI/algorithm submissions.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from the provided text. The document primarily focuses on:

  • Device Name: Press Tack/Intradermal Acupuncture Needles
  • Regulatory Classification: Class II
  • Product Code: MQX
  • Submission Date and Receipt Date: February 3, 2005 / February 7, 2005
  • FDA Determination: Substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.
  • Indications for Use: To pierce the skin in the practice of acupuncture by qualified practitioners of acupuncture as determined by the States.
  • Prescription Use status: Prescription Use.

To address your request, I would need a document that presents a clinical or performance study for a medical device, ideally one involving an AI or algorithmic component, which would then detail its acceptance criteria and the results of the study.

Dear Mr. Cheng:

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.

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 Eederal Register.
