Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

This looks like a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called "Medline Neuro Sponge". This document is an approval letter, not a scientific study report or clinical trial summary.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies.

Here's why and what kind of information is present:

  • 510(k) Clearance: This is a premarket submission made to the FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is at least as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent, to a legally marketed predicate device. It typically relies on demonstrating equivalence to an existing device, rather than proving novel performance against specific acceptance criteria through a new study.
  • Content of this Document:
    • It confirms that the FDA has reviewed the 510(k) premarket notification (K140369) for the "Medline Neuro Sponge".
    • It states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices.
    • It outlines the regulatory classification (Class II, Product Code: HBA) and regulation number (21 CFR 882.4700 - Neurosurgical Paddle).
    • It lists the general controls provisions of the Act that apply to the device.
    • It includes the "Indications for Use" for the device, which state it is "intended to be used by trained physicians in neurosurgical procedures to protect nervous tissue, absorb fluids and stop bleeding."

To answer your prompt, you would need a different type of document, such as:

  • A clinical study report.
  • A summary of safety and effectiveness data (such as an SSED for a PMA device, though this is a 510(k)).
  • A scientific publication describing the device's performance.

Since none of the requested information (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, training set details) is present in this FDA clearance letter, I cannot populate your table or answer your specific questions based on this input.

Dear Mr. Clausen:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
