Laryngeal Augmentation Implant

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but based on the provided document, there is no information about the acceptance criteria, a study proving device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or any details related to AI/MRMC studies for the Laryngeal Augmentation Implant.

The document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA, indicating that the device has been found substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. It specifies the regulation number, product code, and indications for use. However, it does not include the detailed study information typically found in a clinical trial report or a summary of safety and effectiveness.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or answer the specific questions about the study design, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth without further information.
