AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (Sutter Bipolar Forceps - Calvian), not an AI/ML device. Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies proving the device meets them in the context of AI/ML, such as sample sizes for test/training sets, data provenance, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, is not applicable and cannot be extracted from this document.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on design, materials, intended use, and adherence to relevant standards for electrosurgical cutting and coagulation devices.
