Device Description

Integrated Voice Operated Control Unit (IVOC-1) for Powered Wheelchairs

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA regarding the "Integrated Voice Operated Control Unit (IVOC-1) for Powered Wheelchairs." This document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria.

The letter explicitly states: "We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976..." This indicates that the device was approved based on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not on meeting specific, independently defined acceptance criteria or through a clinical study demonstrating performance against such criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from this document. The document primarily focuses on regulatory approval based on substantial equivalence.
