Device Description

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but based on the provided text, there is no information about the acceptance criteria or a study that proves a device meets such criteria. The document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a device called "FlexStent® Biliary Self Expanding Stent System".

The letter primarily:

  • Confirms the device's substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.
  • Specifies limitations on its labeling, particularly regarding its use in the vascular system and the prominent display of its biliary indication.
  • Outlines general regulatory requirements for the manufacturer.
  • Provides contact information for further regulatory guidance.

The "Indications for Use" section (page 2) simply states the intended use of the device ("palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree") but does not include any performance metrics, study details, or acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or details about a study from this document.
