AI/ML Overview

I'm sorry, but the provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device (Laserex Q-S/W Nd:YAG Lasers). It does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or any of the other specific details requested in your prompt regarding a study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria.

The letter explicitly states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices, which is the basis for its clearance, not necessarily a demonstration of meeting specific performance acceptance criteria through a clinical or technical study as you've outlined.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the given text.

Dear Mr. Degenhardt:

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 Ouality 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.
