This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for the "Affirm Smart Releasable Force Module" and "Compliance Science™," indicating that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.

Crucially, this document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets such criteria. It is solely a regulatory approval based on demonstrating substantial equivalence, not performance against specific criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide a detailed answer to your request based on the provided text. The document does not include information on:

  • Acceptance criteria and reported device performance
  • Sample sizes for test sets or training sets
  • Data provenance
  • Number or qualifications of experts for ground truth establishment
  • Adjudication methods
  • MRMC studies or effect sizes
  • Standalone performance
  • Type of ground truth used
  • How ground truth was established for training data

To answer your request, you would need to refer to the actual 510(k) submission or supporting documentation that was reviewed by the FDA, as this clearance letter only summarizes their decision.
