This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called the "Buffalo Filter ViroSafe 18 Filter." It is a regulatory approval document and does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria, nor any of the other requested details regarding a study.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the input text. The document confirms that the device is "substantially equivalent" to previously marketed devices, which is a regulatory determination, not a performance study outcome as typically described in scientific literature or a clinical trial report.
To answer your request, I would need a document that describes the design and results of a performance study for the Buffalo Filter ViroSafe 18 Filter.
