The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for PMMA bone cements (PALACOS® R, PALACOS® R pro, PALACOS® R+G, PALACOS® R+G pro, and PALACOS® MV+G). This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than establishing new acceptance criteria or conducting a clinical study to prove device performance against specific metrics.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, a study proving the device meets those criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, data provenance, number or qualifications of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance studies, or how ground truth was established for training sets.
Instead, the document states:
"A risk-based assessment was performed as per DIN EN ISO 14971 to evaluate the impact of the modifications to the labelling... The modified IFUs do not alter the previously validated packaging or sterilization data as well as the existing results of non-clinical performance testing and biocompatibility in accordance with the FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance Document 'PMMA Bone Cement'. The risk-based assessment concludes that the IFU changes do not significantly affect the device's risk profile because no new risks or significantly modified existing risks are identifically based rationale has been prepared to designate the bone cements as "MR Safe"."
And, for each device: "No clinical testing... has been conducted."
The substantial equivalence determination is based on a comparison of technological characteristics with predicate devices, confirming that the subject devices are modified versions with no significant changes to their safety or effectiveness.

PERFORMANCE DATA VIII.
The submitter of this Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification is the manufacturer of the predicate devices.
PALACOS® bone cements without Gentamicin
A risk-based assessment was performed as per DIN EN ISO 14971 to evaluate the impact of the modifications to the labelling of the PALACOS® R and PALACOS® R pro. The modified IFUs do not alter the previously validated packaging or sterilization data as well as the existing results of non-clinical performance testing and biocompatibility in accordance with the FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance Document 'PMMA Bone Cement'. The risk-based assessment concludes that the IFU changes do not significantly affect the device's risk profile because no new risks or significantly modified existing risks are identifically based rationale has been prepared to designate the bone cements as "MR Safe". PALACOS® R and PALACOS® R pro are composed of materials that are electrically nonconductive, nonmetallic, and nonmagnetic and pose no known hazards in all MR environments. Shelf life and pyrogenicity of PALACOS® R and PALACOS® R pro remain unchanged and testing are intended to be leveraged from their previous clearances in accordance with 21 CFR 807.92(b)(1). It has been demonstrated that the subject devices are as safe and effective as the predicate devices (K150119, K030902).
