Device Description

Oratec Interventions™ Model ORA 40 Electrothermal Generator

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification approval letter from the FDA for a medical device called the "Oratec Interventions Model ORA 40 Electrothermal Generator". It states that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. However, this document does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria or the results of a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the input text. The document primarily focuses on regulatory approval and indications for use, not performance studies or acceptance criteria.

To answer your request, I would need a document that describes:

  • Specific performance metrics for the device (e.g., accuracy, precision, impedance, temperature control).
  • Quantitative acceptance criteria for those metrics.
  • Details of a study (e.g., a clinical trial or performance validation study) that evaluates the device against these criteria.
