These instruments are intended for use by qualified surgeons and provide aspiration of fluid and tissue from the surgical site during laparoscopic surgical procedures, and general and endoscopic plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgical procedures.
The Karl Storz Unimat 45 and accessories are a aspiration pump with user adjustable aspiration suction underpressure.
This 510(k) submission for the Karl Storz Unimat 45 suction pump does not include a study describing acceptance criteria or device performance in the manner you've requested.
The document is a "510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness" which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing detailed performance studies against specific acceptance criteria.
Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted from the provided text:
- No Acceptance Criteria or Performance Data: The document explicitly states: "The Karl Storz Unimat 45 system is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since the basic features and intended uses are similar. The minor differences between the Karl Storz Unimat 45 and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of these devices." This indicates that the claim for safety and effectiveness is based on similarity to already approved devices, not on new performance testing with defined acceptance criteria.
- Focus on Substantial Equivalence: The core of a 510(k) submission is to argue that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to one or more legally marketed devices (predicates). This often means demonstrating that the device has the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, and that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. This is distinct from conducting a clinical or performance study to prove specific acceptance criteria.
- Device Type: This is a suction pump. For such devices, "performance" is often assessed through bench testing (e.g., flow rate, vacuum pressure) and mechanical safety, which would typically be compared to predicate device specifications or recognized standards, not necessarily through a clinical study with human readers or AI.
Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about sample sizes, experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth for training data because this information is not present in the provided 510(k) summary. The document is essentially a regulatory declaration of equivalence based on known predicate devices.

The Karl Storz Unimat 45 system is designed to provide aspiration of the surgical site Indication: during laparoscopic and aesthetic surgical procedures.
Device Description: The Karl Storz Unimat 45 and accessories are a aspiration pump with user adjustable aspiration suction underpressure.
The Karl Storz Unimat 45 system is substantially equivalent to the Substantial Equivalence: predicate devices since the basic features and intended uses are similar. The minor differences between the Karl Storz Unimat 45 and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of these devices.

Dear Mr. Kennan:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) 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 device, 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 device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket 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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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 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 531 through 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.
If you desire specific advice for your device 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) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
