The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (OroScience Curative980 Diode Lasers). This type of document is submitted to the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving safety and effectiveness through clinical trials with specific acceptance criteria as you've described for, say, an AI diagnostic tool.
Therefore, the information you're asking for regarding acceptance criteria, performance tables, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission.
The core of a 510(k) summary for a device like this laser is to show that it has the same or similar:
- Indications for Use
- Device Operation
- Overall Technical and Functional Specifications
And that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The "study" here is essentially a comparison to predicate devices, not a clinical trial against specific performance metrics with a ground truth established by experts.
Here's a breakdown of why this information isn't present in the provided text, using the structure of your request:
-
Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
- N/A. This document doesn't define specific numerical acceptance criteria for performance; rather, it asserts substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices. The "performance" is implicitly deemed equivalent if the device functions similarly and has the same indications for use as the predicates.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- N/A. There isn't a "test set" in the sense of clinical data evaluating the device's diagnostic or treatment efficacy against a ground truth. The submission relies on engineering and design comparisons.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- N/A. No ground truth needed to be established by experts for a test set in this kind of submission.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- N/A. No test set or expert adjudication was performed as described.
-
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- N/A. This is a laser surgical instrument, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. MRMC studies are irrelevant here.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- N/A. Again, this is a physical medical device (laser), not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- N/A. No ground truth in this context. The "truth" being established is that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- N/A. This device doesn't use machine learning or require a training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- N/A. No training set exists for this type of device.
In summary, the "study" proving the device meets "acceptance criteria" in a 510(k) context is the demonstration of substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices based on design specifications, intended use, and operational principles, not a clinical trial with performance metrics against a defined ground truth.

Dear Ms. Worden:
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 (PMA), 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
