AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Endocare Cryocare CS Surgical System. This type of regulatory submission establishes substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through a de-novo study.

Therefore, the document does not contain any information regarding specific acceptance criteria, a study proving the device meets those criteria, or the details of such a study (sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone performance data).

The "SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE" section explicitly states that the device is considered substantially equivalent to predicate devices due to similarities such as:

  • Same intended use
  • Same operating principle
  • Same system design
  • Same patient contacting materials
  • Same manufacturing materials
  • Same packaging and sterilization processes

Since the device is claiming substantial equivalence, a detailed performance study as outlined in your request is typically not required unless there are significant changes that raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

In summary, the information requested in your prompt is not available in the provided 510(k) summary.
