AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for electric heating pads (Models EHP2, EHP3). It details the product's classification, description, and intended use. However, it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, or study methodologies that would typically be found in a clinical or performance study report.

The document's purpose is to claim "substantial equivalence" of the new heating pads to existing, legally marketed devices. It explicitly states that "Substantial equivalence is claimed because: the power source, manufacturing technology, operating principles, intended uses and safety standards are the same for all models. Differences are primarily cosmetic."

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information as it is not present in the provided text. This type of submission relies on demonstrating similarity to already approved devices rather than presenting novel performance data.
