The provided 510(k) summary for the Biolitec Inc.'s Ceralas Diode 980nm Laser System (Models D15, D25) states "No performance data is being submitted" (page 5). Therefore, there is no information available within this document to describe acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.
The device's substantial equivalence to predicate devices is based on having the "same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation". The document asserts that "The minor technological differences between the Ceralas D and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness."
