The ELID (Endoscopic Less Invasive Decompression) system intended to provide lumbar decompression of the spine to treat various spinal condition(s) using minimally invasive techniques and instrumentation.

The ELID (Endoscopic Less Invasive Decompression) System consists of instrumentation intended to aid the user in completing steps necessary to perform lumbar decompression. Instruments include a bone needle, flat blade dilator, dilator tubes, and rongeurs. Instruments in the ELID (Endoscopic Less Invasive Decompression) System are supplied non-sterile, reusable, and manufactured from aluminum per ASTM B211, Nitinol per ASTM 2063, or stainless steel per ASTM A564.

The provided text is a U.S. FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter and a 510(k) Summary for the ELID (Endoscopic Less Invasive Decompression) System. While it describes the device, its indications for use, technological characteristics, and a list of performance tests conducted, it does not provide specific acceptance criteria or detailed study results that demonstrate the device meets those criteria.

The "Performance Data" section states that certain tests were conducted and their results "show that the strength of the ELID (Endoscopic Less Invasive Decompression) System is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices." However, it does not quantify this performance, nor does it specify the acceptance criteria for each test.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

• A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance. The document only lists the types of tests performed (Cleaning Validation, Sterilization Validation, Biocompatibility, Usability Testing, Particulate Analysis) but doesn't provide the detailed results or the specific quantitative acceptance thresholds for these tests.
• Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance. The document mentions "test modes" but does not detail the sample sizes for these tests or the origin of any data (e.g., human or ex-vivo samples, country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
• Number of experts and their qualifications for ground truth establishment. This type of information is typically relevant for AI/ML-based devices relying on expert annotations, which is not clearly indicated as a component of the ELID system described. The ELID system seems to be a set of physical surgical instruments.
• Adjudication method. Similar to the point above, this is generally for AI/ML performance evaluation against expert ground truth.
• MRMC comparative effectiveness study. This is typically for AI/ML devices assisting human readers/interpreters, which doesn't seem to be the primary function of the ELID system.
• Standalone performance. This again relates to AI/ML algorithms. The ELID system appears to be a set of manual surgical instruments.
• Type of ground truth used. For an AI/ML device, this could be expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data. For the ELID system, ground truth would likely refer to engineering specifications and performance evaluations for mechanical properties, biocompatibility, etc. The document does not specify this in detail.
• Sample size for the training set. Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.
• How the ground truth for the training set was established. Not applicable.

In summary, the provided document is a regulatory clearance letter acknowledging substantial equivalence based on a set of non-clinical performance tests, but it does not disclose the detailed quantitative acceptance criteria or the specific results of these tests, nor does it describe AI/ML related study methodologies like those you've requested. The "Performance Data" section only states that the results "show that the strength... is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent."
