The method of sterilization will be EtO with a SAL of 10 . The blister packs are fitted into an overpack carton which serves as the sales unit.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the Hem-O-Lok® Ligation Clips. It states that the device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared device (K941972) and details its intended use and technological characteristics. However, it does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the provided text. The document is primarily a notification to the FDA for market clearance, focusing on substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than detailing specific performance studies with acceptance criteria.
