The ArthroCare System is a bipolar, high frequency electrosurgical system consisting of three components: an electrosurgical generator called the Controller; a family of disposable, bipolar, single use Wands; and a reusable Patient Cable.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the ArthroCare System, an electrosurgical device. It details the device's intended use, its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, and confirms that modifications do not significantly affect safety or efficacy. However, the provided text does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets specific acceptance criteria related to its performance metrics.
The document discusses:
- Device Description: A bipolar, high-frequency electrosurgical system comprising a Controller, disposable Wands, and a reusable Patient Cable.
- Intended Uses: Resection, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue, and hemostasis of blood vessels in various arthroscopic and orthopedic procedures across multiple joints.
- Substantial Equivalence: The current submission (K032504) proposes modifications to performance specifications, dimensional specifications, and labeling of an already cleared device (K030551). It explicitly states that "The indications for use, technology, principle of operation, materials, packaging, and sterilization parameters of the ArthroCare System remain the same as in the predicate cleared 510(k)." The document concludes that the modifications are not substantial and do not significantly affect safety or efficacy.
Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study demonstrating the device meets those criteria. The document focuses on regulatory approval based on substantial equivalence, not on a detailed performance study with acceptance criteria.
