This document is a 510(k) clearance letter for "Sunglasses" (K973526) from the FDA dated October 16, 1997. It is a regulatory approval document and does not contain information about acceptance criteria or performance studies for the device.
Specifically, the document states:
- The device is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices marketed before May 28, 1976.
- The indications for use are: "Sunglasses (nonprescription) are devices that consist of spectacle frames or clips with absorbing, reflective, tinted, polarizing, or photosensitized lenses intended to be worn by a person to protect the eyes from bright sunlight but not to provide refractive corrections. This device is usually available over-the-counter."
Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot answer any of the questions about acceptance criteria or performance studies. This type of information is typically found in the 510(k) submission itself, not the clearance letter.
