The Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor is a two-component, knotless suture anchor comprised of an eyelet and a hollow anchor body. The SwiveLock Anchor is premounted on a driver with the anchor body and eyelet physically separated on the driver shaft. Arthrex 510(k) cleared suture may also be provided with the device.

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "Arthrex SwiveLock Suture Anchor." This document largely focuses on the regulatory approval process and states that the device is substantially equivalent to existing predicate devices.

However, the text does not contain the detailed information required to answer your specific questions about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria.

Here's why and what information is missing:

• Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance: The document states that "Cyclic pull-out testing after 16 weeks of degradation was conducted on the Arthrex SwiveLock Suture Anchor. Results demonstrate that the Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor performs statistically equivalent to the predicate device (K061863 – Arthrex Corkcrew)." It also mentions "Bacterial endotoxin per EP 2.6.14/USP was conducted to demonstrate that the device meets pyrogen limit specifications." However, it does not provide specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum pull-out strength in Newtons) or the numerical reported performance data. Therefore, a table cannot be created.
• Sample Size, Ground Truth, Adjudication, MRMC, Standalone Performance, Training Set Information: The document is completely silent on these aspects. These details are typically found in a more comprehensive study report or clinical trial summary, not usually in a 510(k) summary focused on substantial equivalence. The tests mentioned (cyclic pull-out, bacterial endotoxin) are mechanical and biological safety tests, not performance studies that would involve human readers, ground truth establishment, or large patient datasets.

In summary, based on the provided text, I cannot complete the requested information. The document confirms that testing was done to show equivalence and meet safety specifications, but it does not disclose the specifics of those tests, such as acceptance criteria values or detailed performance results, nor does it describe studies involving clinical performance evaluation as you've outlined.
