Inion ANCHRON™ Biodegradable Anchor System is intended to allow secure fixation of soft tissue to bone in conjunction with appropriate immobilization. The system consists of degradable suture anchor made of co-polymers PLDLA, non-degradable polyester sutures with stainless steel needles, and a single-use suture anchor inserter. The suture anchors are dyed green. Based on in vitro testing: the suture anchors retain most of their strength up to 16 weeks and gradually loose their strength thereafter; and bioresorption takes place within three years. Inion ANCHRON™ Biodegradable Suture Anchor is provided in size 3.0 mm x 8.5 mm. Inion ANCHRON™ Biodegradable Anchor system is provided sterile to the user and is nonpyrogenic. The shelf life of the device is 3 years.

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for a medical device called the Inion ANCHRON™ Biodegradable Anchor System. It does not include information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria.

The 510(k) submission process primarily focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than detailed performance studies with acceptance criteria in the format requested. The document states:

"Based on the performance data and specifications presented, it can be concluded that the intended use, material composition and scientific technology, degradation profile and mechanical properties of Inion ANCHRON™ Biodegradable Anchor System are substantially equivalent with the predicate device Mitek 3.5 mm Panalok Wedge Absorbable Suture Anchor System (K970896)."

And further:

"Inion ANCHRON™ Biodegradable Anchor System is substantially equivalent to predicate Class II devices used for soft tissue to bone fixation with appropriate postoperative immobilization because the differences between Inion ANCHRON™ Biodegradable Anchor System and the predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness."

This means the device's "performance" is primarily demonstrated by its similarity to an already approved device. The document mentions in vitro testing for strength retention and bioresorption but does not provide specific details about the acceptance criteria for this testing, the study design, or the results in a quantifiable manner.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This is not present in the provided text.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not detailed for any specific performance study.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable as there's no mention of such a test set.
4. Adjudication method: Not applicable.
5. Multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: Not applicable, as this is a device for physical fixation, not an AI diagnostic tool.
6. Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used: Not applicable for the type of device and submission.
8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as there's no "training set" in the context of this device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

The document only provides the following information related to its "performance" based on in vitro testing:

• Strength Retention: The suture anchors retain most of their strength up to 16 weeks and gradually lose their strength thereafter.
• Bioresorption: Bioresorption takes place within three years.

However, these are descriptive statements of observed characteristics, not acceptance criteria against which specific performance metrics are measured and reported in a table.
