The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not on presenting a study with acceptance criteria and a device's performance against them.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, reported device performance, sample sizes, expert qualifications, ground truth, and study types is not available in the provided text.
The document describes the device, its material, sterilization method, and states its similarity to a predicate device ("Smith & Nephew Richards' Russell-Taylor Humeral Interlocking Nail") in design, function, indications, and surgical technique, implying that it is expected to perform as well, but it does not provide data from a study to prove this.
