Intended Use

The intended use for the foreign body grasping forceps is in urological procedures to endoscopically remove, manipulate or grasp calculi (i.e. stones) and other foreign objects.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a summary of safety and effectiveness for grasping forceps (K970489) and does not contain information about acceptance criteria for a device, a study proving it meets such criteria, or any details about AI/algorithm performance. It primarily focuses on the regulatory submission details for a medical device (grasping forceps) in 1997, comparing it to a legally marketed substantially equivalent device.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information based on the provided input. The document describes a medical device and its intended use, rather than a study evaluating device performance against acceptance criteria using expert-reviewed data.
