I am sorry, but the provided text from the FDA 510(k) letter and the indications for use document for the Med-Tec Corporation Matrix MT-MX3 device does not contain the kind of detailed information requested about acceptance criteria, study methodologies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert qualifications.
The documents indicate that the Matrix MT-MX3 is a "Personnel Protective Shield System" (thermoplastic shield) intended to "shield healthy tissue from radiation." The 510(k) letter confirms that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
However, a 510(k) submission primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not necessarily on a de novo clinical study with pre-defined acceptance criteria for performance metrics in the same way a novel AI or diagnostic device might. The provided documents are administrative and regulatory approvals, not clinical study reports.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the specific details about acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them based on the given information.

You may, therefore, market, the device, subject to the general controls provisions of 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 device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Fremarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
