Clinitex® Stockinette is a tubular textile used to form the first protective layer (base) of an orthopedic cast below the cast padding and cast tape. The polyester material help repel water and dry rapidly.

This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for two devices: Clinitex Stockinette (K973417) and Clinitex Cast Padding (K973420). The letter states that these devices are substantially equivalent to devices marketed prior to May 28, 1976. This means the clearance is based on a comparison to existing, legally marketed predicate devices, and not on a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria as you've outlined.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information because:

• Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance: The document does not describe specific acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) or report device performance against such criteria. The FDA clearance is based on substantial equivalence, implying the device performs similarly to existing products, rather than meeting a specific quantifiable performance threshold.
• Study Details (Sample Size, Data Provenance, Experts, Adjudication, MRMC, Standalone, Ground Truth, Training Set): No study is described in this document. The 510(k) process for devices like stockinette and cast padding often relies on demonstrating similarity to predicate devices rather than extensive clinical studies with specified performance metrics.

The document indicates:

• Device Name: Clinitex® Stockinette
• Indications For Use: "Clinitex® Stockinette is a tubular textile used to form the first protective layer (base) of an orthopedic cast below the cast padding and cast tape. The polyester material help repel water and dry rapidly."
• Regulatory Class: I
• Product Code: LGF

This type of FDA clearance is for low-risk devices where substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device is sufficient, and detailed performance studies with acceptance criteria are typically not required.
