AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for the Ivalon Instrument Wipe and Ivalon Knife Cleaning Block. It does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria.

The document is a notification of an administrative change related to a previous substantial equivalence (SE) determination, and the initial SE letter itself. These documents confirm that the devices are substantially equivalent to devices marketed prior to May 28, 1976, or reclassified devices, and therefore can be marketed. They discuss regulatory compliance such as annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information as it is not present in the given text.
