AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the SB Knife Jr2, a medical device. It does not contain the information typically found in a study proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria based on performance.

Specifically, the text describes:

  • The device and its intended use.
  • A comparison to a predicate device (SB Knife®).
  • Differences between the subject device and the predicate device, particularly regarding type, shape, structure, presence of a rotating operation portion, and materials.
  • Non-clinical testing performed (transportation, shelf-life, packaging, sterilization, electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, biocompatibility).
  • A statement that clinical testing was not performed.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them from the provided text. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device through technological comparison and non-clinical performance, rather than providing a detailed study of the device's performance against pre-defined acceptance criteria for a new clinical claim or feature that requires such a study.
