AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance, or any studies with sample sizes, expert involvement, or statistical analysis. The document is a 510(k) summary for the "KMC Ultra-Sil Scar Management System," which primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Degania Silicone Sil-K, 510(k) No. K971482).

The 510(k) summary outlines:

  • Device Description and Use: A thin, soft silicone sheet for external, non-invasive application to healed keloid and hypertrophic scars. It details application instructions (e.g., wash scar area, initial application of 2-3 hours, increasing to 8 hours, with 20 hours recommended).
  • Manufacturing: States it uses essentially the same silicone materials and manufacturing practices as the predicate device.
  • Substantial Equivalence: The core claim, stating it's substantially equivalent to the Degania Silicone Sil-K.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table or provide details about a study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria. The document does not describe such a study or associated data points. The FDA's letter (Document {1}) confirms the substantial equivalence determination, allowing the device to be marketed, but does not refer to specific performance criteria or a study done by the applicant to prove these criteria were met, beyond the substantial equivalence argument.
