AI/ML Overview

This is a medical device 510(k) summary for a "Suture Retention Device" called Suture-Lock. It is a physical device, and therefore the request for information on "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of AI/algorithm performance metrics is not applicable. The provided document does not contain information about an AI/algorithm-based device or its performance studies.

Therefore, I cannot answer the questions regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies in the requested format. This document describes a traditional medical device and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on characteristics like materials, intended use, and indications.
