Device Description

Nasogastric Feeding Tube (4Fr, 6Fr, 10Fr and 12Fr; sterile and non-sterile)

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification approval letter for a Nasogastric Feeding Tube. It does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, or AI/software validation.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance
  2. Sample sizes or data provenance for a test set
  3. Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth
  4. Adjudication method
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study or effect size
  6. Standalone performance study
  7. Type of ground truth used
  8. Sample size for the training set
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established

The document is a regulatory approval notice, confirming that the FDA found the device (a physical medical device, not a software or AI product) substantially equivalent to a predicate device. It focuses on regulatory compliance rather than detailed performance study results.
