The disposable hypodermic monopolar needles are FOR SINGLE USE ONLY in electromyography (EMG) in situations wherein it is desired to insert an electrode, in the form of a probe, into a patient to locate a particular muscle and then inject a medication into that muscle. The hypodermic needle with an open lumen is designed for muscle stimulation, motor unit action potential recording and drug delivery. Once the physician is satisfied with the location, he/she injects a drug therein via the lumen of the needle.

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA to TECA Corporation regarding their Disposable Monopolar Needle Electrodes and MyoJect Disposable Needle Electrodes. This document does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance, study designs, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment.
Instead, this letter is a regulatory approval, stating that the devices are substantially equivalent to previously marketed devices and can be legally marketed. It confirms compliance with general controls and notes that the devices may be subject to additional controls if classified as Class II or III.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the specific information regarding acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, as that data is not present in the provided text.

Dear Mr. Hurlman:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined these devices are substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosures) 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 devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code_of Federal Requlations, 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 requlation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. concerning your devices in the Federal Reqister. 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 requlations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to legally marketed predicate devices results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your devices 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) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your devices, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
