Not Found
I am sorry, but the provided text from the FDA 510(k) notification for "Loripro and Loripro II Hearing Aids" (K972058) does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.
The document is an FDA letter granting substantial equivalence for the device, based on its indications for use. It primarily focuses on regulatory classification, general controls, and an advisory about potential electromagnetic interference.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, as this information is not present in the provided text.
Here's a breakdown of why this information isn't available based on your request:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not included in the document.
- Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not included in the document.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not included in the document.
- Adjudication method for the test set: Not included in the document.
- If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: Not included in the document.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not included in the document.
- The type of ground truth used: Not included in the document.
- The sample size for the training set: Not included in the document.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not included in the document.
The document is purely a regulatory letter concerning the substantial equivalence of the device to previously marketed hearing aids, allowing it to proceed to market. It does not elaborate on the specific performance studies or acceptance criteria that would have been submitted as part of the 510(k) application itself.

K972058 Loripro and Loripro 11 Hearing Aids Dated: May 29, 1997 Received: June 2, 1997 Regulatory class: I 21 CFR 874.3300/Procode: 77 ESD
Dear Mr. Maas:
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, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
While your device has been deemed substantially equivalent to other legally marketed hearing aids, please be advised that clectromagnetic interference from digital cellular telephones, as well as from other sources is increasingly becoming a concern. Typically, this interference takes the form of a buzzing sound that can range from annoying to very loud and may reader a hearing aid temporarily inclective for the wearer. Because electromagnetic interference may affect your device, you may be asked to test for electromagnetic compatibility in the future. In this interim period, we encourage you to modify your device labeling to inform practitioners and users of the potential for clectromagnetic interference. Please be aware that a 510(k) submission is required for any claims that infer that your device is compatible with potential sources of clectromagnetic interference, such as "compatible with digital cellular telephones", and that data supporting such claims is necessary.
