Study Details:

The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification which aims to demonstrate that a new device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. This is a regulatory pathway, not a traditional clinical study designed to "prove" device performance in the same way a randomized controlled trial would. Instead, it relies on demonstrating that the new device meets established standards and performs similarly to predicate devices.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document repeatedly references "Inspection level S-2, AQL 4.0" and "pinholes at AQL 2.5" as per ASTM D 6319-00a. These are sampling plans for quality control, not a fixed sample size for a "test set" in the context of clinical studies. ASTM D 6319-00a specifies statistical sampling procedures for examination gloves. The exact sample size would depend on the lot size being tested according to the standard.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the testing data, although the applicant and manufacturer are based in Shanghai, China. The testing appears to be retrospective in the sense that it's performed on manufactured gloves to demonstrate compliance with standards, rather than a prospective study observing usage in a real-world setting.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications of Experts

  • This information is not applicable (N/A) in this context. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by conformance to recognized international standards (ASTM D 6319-00a, ASTM D 6978-05) and comparison to existing predicate devices. There isn't a need for expert consensus on interpreting complex medical images or clinical outcomes here. The tests are objective measurements against defined criteria.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • N/A. As explained above, this is not a study requiring adjudication of expert opinions or clinical outcomes. The tests are objective and deterministic.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

  • No. An MRMC study is typically used for diagnostic imaging devices to assess how human readers' performance with and without AI assistance changes. This document describes examination gloves, which do not involve diagnostic interpretation by human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • N/A. This device is a physical product (gloves), not an algorithm or AI system. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not relevant.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" used for this device is primarily established industry standards (ASTM D 6319-00a and ASTM D 6978-05) and the performance specifications of legally marketed predicate devices (K040841, K022765). These standards define the acceptable physical properties and performance characteristics (e.g., tensile strength, barrier integrity, biocompatibility).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • N/A. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a "training set." The device is a manufactured product tested against defined specifications.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

  • N/A. No training set is involved.

Dear Mr. Rambhia:

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.
