Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

I apologize, but the provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called the "Fischer Cone Biopsy Excisor." This type of document primarily confirms that the device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device and grants permission to market it.

The document does NOT contain the following information that you requested:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance. The FDA clearance letter does not detail the specific performance metrics or acceptance criteria used in the substantial equivalence determination. It focuses on regulatory compliance rather than detailed device efficacy or safety study results in this letter.
  • Sample size used for the test set and data provenance. This information would typically be found in the device's 510(k) submission, not the clearance letter.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth and their qualifications. Again, this level of detail about study design is not in this document.
  • Adjudication method.
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or the effect size of human readers improvement with AI vs. without AI assistance. This device is a surgical excisor, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool, so such a study would not be applicable.
  • If a standalone performance (algorithm only) was done. Not applicable as it's not an algorithm.
  • The type of ground truth used.
  • The sample size for the training set.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for a description of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them based on the provided text. The FDA letter only states that the device is "substantially equivalent" for its indicated uses to previously marketed devices.

Dear Mr. Pulford:

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 (Premarket Approval), 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.
