Model SB 312 PB and SB 32 PBH Disposable Hand Switching Pencil, Push Button, Two Piece Body, With and Without Holster
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA for a medical device: "New Deantronics Taiwan, Limited Model SB 312 PB and SB 32 PBH Disposable Hand Switching Pencil, Push Button, Two Piece Body, With and Without Holster."
This document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the way a modern AI/ML device submission would. This is a traditional medical device submission from 1998, and the FDA's review process at that time, and for this type of device, focused on "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, rather than detailed performance metrics and studies as might be found for more complex or novel technologies today.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document explicitly states:
- "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 legally marketed predicate devices..."
- "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."
This indicates that the primary "acceptance criterion" was substantial equivalence, which is a regulatory standard, not a performance metric defined by a specific study with statistical endpoints. There's no mention of performance studies, sample sizes, experts for ground truth, or MRMC studies in this document.

Dear Mr. Ward:
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 legally marketed predicate 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) 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.
