Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

This looks like a 510(k) premarket notification letter, which typically does not contain the detailed study information you're asking for. This document is a regulatory clearance letter from the FDA stating that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device. It confirms that the device can be marketed but does not include the specifics of the clinical or technical studies performed to demonstrate that equivalence or to establish acceptance criteria and performance metrics.

Therefore, I cannot extract the following information from the provided text:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications
  • Adjudication method for the test set
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done
  • If a standalone study was done
  • The type of ground truth used
  • The sample size for the training set
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established

The document primarily focuses on the regulatory approval of the "Oratec Model Endotac Probe" for specific indications for use: "hemostasis, and for coagulation and desiccation of disc material to treat disc annulus disruption and degenerative disc diseases of contained herniated disc."

Dear Dr. Kwan:

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 provisions 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 requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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 submission 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595.
