Not Found
The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for two hearing aid devices, the Audiofon H20 PC and H32 PP. This document does not contain the information requested in the prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study data, or ground truth establishment.
The document primarily focuses on:
- FDA's determination of substantial equivalence: It states that the devices are substantially equivalent to pre-amendment devices, allowing them to be marketed.
- Regulatory classification and general controls: It outlines the regulatory class (Class I), applicable CFR parts, and requirements like annual registration, good manufacturing practices, and labeling.
- Indications for Use: It provides a general statement that the devices "amplify sound for individuals with impaired hearing" and allows the manufacturer to check specific severity and configuration categories of hearing loss for which the devices are indicated.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from the provided text. The information typically sought for acceptance criteria and study details would be found within the 510(k) submission itself, often in a separate section detailing performance testing or clinical studies. This letter is the FDA's response to that submission, not the submission itself.

Dear Mr. Shwiyat:
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 (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 submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under 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 yitrg diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for question and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
