    AI/ML Overview

    This 510(k) summary does not contain information on acceptance criteria, device performance, or any studies proving the device meets acceptance criteria. The document describes modifications to the ArthroCare ArthroWands, which were previously cleared, and asserts that these modifications are not substantial and do not significantly affect safety or efficacy.
