The ESU-10 / ESU-15 units is to be used in order to cut and coagulate (burn) the skin in surgical procedures.
Electrosurgical Units, Device Model: ESU-10 / ESU-15
This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for an electrosurgical unit. It confirms that the device is substantially equivalent to a previously marketed device. However, it does not contain the detailed information needed to answer your request about acceptance criteria and study data.
Here's a breakdown of why and what kind of information is missing:
Why the requested information is not present in this document:
- This is a clearance letter, not a study report. The FDA 510(k) clearance letter primarily states that a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device and can be marketed. It does not typically include the specifics of performance studies, acceptance criteria, or detailed ground truth methodologies.
- The device is an Electrosurgical Unit. For this type of device, the "performance" is often related to electrical safety, power output accuracy, tissue effect (cutting/coagulation effectiveness), and biocompatibility, rather than diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC, which are common for AI/ML-driven diagnostic devices.
- The clearance date is June 24, 1998. AI/ML-driven medical device evaluations, with their specific metrics and study designs, were not common or required in 1998 in the way they are today.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from this document. It does not describe a study involving algorithms, test sets, experts, or ground truth for diagnostic performance.
