2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
This submission does not describe a clinical study with a "test set" in the context of diagnostic accuracy. Instead, the "testing" refers to non-clinical performance testing for compliance with recognized safety and performance standards. Therefore, information on sample size for a test set (e.g., number of patients/images) and data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) related to clinical diagnostic performance is not applicable and not provided. The testing described is largely hardware-focused, ensuring the device itself meets established engineering and safety benchmarks.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Given that this is a non-clinical 510(k) submission focused on hardware modifications and compliance with engineering standards (not diagnostic accuracy), there is no mention of experts or radiologists establishing ground truth for a test set. The "ground truth" here is the adherence to the specifications of the various IEC and ANSI standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
As no clinical test set requiring expert interpretation or ground truth establishment is described, an adjudication method is not applicable and not provided.
5. 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
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done or reported. This device primarily focuses on imaging equipment and its functionality, not AI assistance for human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No standalone algorithm performance study was done or reported. This device is an X-ray system, not an AI algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this submission is compliance with recognized electrical, safety, and performance standards for medical electrical equipment and laser products (e.g., AAMI / ANSI ES60601-1:2005, IEC 60601-1-2:2007, IEC 60601-1-3:2008, IEC 60601-2-54:2009, IEC 60950-1:2006, IEC 60825-1:2007) and adherence to DICOM provisions.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable and not provided. As this is a hardware device compliance demonstration, there is no AI algorithm being "trained" on a dataset.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable and not provided. There is no training set for an AI algorithm in this submission.
