Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and study proving device performance based on the provided text. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a device called "Emjoi Beauty" and focuses on regulatory approval rather than a detailed performance study. It mentions the device is an epilator for hair removal and references an "Owner's Instruction Brochure" for techniques, but it does not contain the specific information you asked for regarding:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Sample size and data provenance for a test set.
  3. Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth.
  4. Adjudication method.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study or its effect size.
  6. Standalone algorithm performance.
  7. Type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

This document is a letter confirming substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which is a regulatory standard, not a detailed scientific study report with performance metrics.
