The provided text does not describe the acceptance criteria, reported device performance, or any study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria regarding a medical device that utilizes artificial intelligence.
The document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for a device called "StitchKit® Suture Deliver Canister with PTFE Surgical Suture." The review is for a change to an existing legally marketed device, specifically:
- Alternate source for suture
- Choice of finish on stainless steel needle
- Longer shelf life based on real-time age testing
The document lists performance data that was collected to support these changes. However, these are standard engineering and material tests for sutures and their components, not studies evaluating AI-driven performance or diagnostic accuracy.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the given text. The text does not contain:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (for an AI device).
- Sample size used for a test set or its provenance.
- Number/qualifications of experts for ground truth.
- Adjudication method.
- Details of an MRMC comparative effectiveness study or effect size of AI assistance.
- Standalone algorithm performance.
- Type of ground truth used (for an AI device).
- Sample size for a training set.
- How ground truth for a training set was established.

Description of Change:
This submission is related to a change to this existing legally marketed device. The differences between the original and changed device are: (1) alternate source for suture; (2) the choice of finish on stainless steel needle; and (3) longer shelf life based on realtime age testing. The Indication for Use for the StitchKit device incorporates the cleared Indication for use for the suture contained within. Hence the indication for use has been modified to align with that of the suture contained within.
These differences do not raise questions of safety or effectiveness.

Performance Data:
The following tests were performed to support the changes described:
| 1. Suture tensile strength | 5. LAL Pyrogen | 9. Real-time Age |
|---|---|---|
| 2. Needle Pull-Off | 6. Material Mediated Pyrogen | |
| 3. Suture diameter | 7. Usability Evaluation | |
| 4. Suture strand length | 8. Comparative Physico-Chemical Extraction |
Summary of Substantial Equivalence:
Based on the comparison to predicate and on test results we conclude the changes do not raise new questions of safety and efficacy, and that the changed device is substantially equivalent to its predicate, the original, unchanged device.
