AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the acceptance criteria and performance data for the SRI/Surgical Express, Inc. SP™ Reusable Surgical Gown, but it does not contain information related to AI or algorithm-driven device performance. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a traditional medical device (a surgical gown) and details its physical, biological, and material properties.

Therefore, many of the requested fields (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone algorithm performance, training set sample size, how training set ground truth was established) are not applicable to this document as it does not describe an AI medical device.

Information Not Applicable or Not Provided in the Document (due to the nature of the device as a non-AI product):

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable/Not specified for an AI device. The document mentions "125 wash/dry/steam autoclave cycles" for barrier performance and physical properties testing, which describes the conditions and extent of physical testing, not a dataset for an algorithm. Data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) is not relevant for this type of testing.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth as typically understood for AI devices (e.g., expert annotations on images) is not relevant to testing a surgical gown's physical properties.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is for AI-assisted diagnostic or decision-making systems.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable in the context of AI. The ground truth for this device is established by objective standardized test methods (e.g., AATCC, ASTM, ISO) measuring physical and biological properties.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm.

  • Barrier Performance: The ASSIST™ medical fabric used in the Critical Zones of this 3. surgical gown achieved acceptable results throughout 125 wash/dry/steam autoclave cvcles using the test methods prescribed in AATCC 42-Impact Penetration, and AATCC 127-Water Resistance: Hydrostatic Pressure Test. (Test results can be found in MAF -1138.)
  • Physical Properties: The physical properties of ASSIST™ medical fabric were evaluated 4. using various recognized industry standards following 125 wash/dry/steam sterilization cycles. There are currently no limits established for the physical properties evaluated. however conclusions can be drawn to substantiate that the results obtained are comparable to those of currently marketed surgical gowns. Testing was conducted using the following standards: Spray Test, ASTM D3776-96 Standard Test method for mass per unit area (weight) of fabric, ASTM D5035-95 Standard Test Method for breaking force and elongation of textile fabrics (strip break), ASTM D5587-96 Standard test methods for water vapor transmission of materials, and IES-RP-CC003.3-93 Garment system considerations for cleanrooms and other controlled environments - Helmke drum test for garment particulation. (Test results can be found in MAF - 1138)

Dear Mr. Hamilton:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

§ 878.4040 Surgical apparel.

(a)
Identification. Surgical apparel are devices that are intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the surgical patient and the operating room personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. Examples include surgical caps, hoods, masks, gowns, operating room shoes and shoe covers, and isolation masks and gowns. Surgical suits and dresses, commonly known as scrub suits, are excluded.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for surgical gowns and surgical masks. A surgical N95 respirator or N95 filtering facepiece respirator is not exempt if it is intended to prevent specific diseases or infections, or it is labeled or otherwise represented as filtering surgical smoke or plumes, filtering specific amounts of viruses or bacteria, reducing the amount of and/or killing viruses, bacteria, or fungi, or affecting allergenicity, or it contains coating technologies unrelated to filtration (e.g., to reduce and or kill microorganisms). Surgical N95 respirators and N95 filtering facepiece respirators are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9, and the following conditions for exemption:(i) The user contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(ii) Analysis and nonclinical testing must:
(A) Characterize flammability and be demonstrated to be appropriate for the intended environment of use; and
(B) Demonstrate the ability of the device to resist penetration by fluids, such as blood and body fluids, at a velocity consistent with the intended use of the device.
(iii) NIOSH approved under its regulation.
(2) Class I (general controls) for surgical apparel other than surgical gowns and surgical masks. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9.
