2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes for each test in the "Summary of Non-Clinical Testing" section. It refers to "samples" or "specimens" being tested in accordance with the specified ASTM or ISO standards.

  • Data Provenance: The tests are described as non-clinical tests. They are performed in a laboratory setting to evaluate the material properties and performance of the sterilization wrap. The document does not specify the country of origin of the data directly, but Medline Industries, Inc. is based in Northfield, IL, USA. Given the context of a US FDA 510(k) submission, it's highly probable that the testing was conducted either in the US or in a facility compliant with US regulatory requirements and good laboratory practices (GLP). These are prospective tests, as they are performed specifically to demonstrate the performance of the new device for regulatory submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This section is not applicable to this type of device and study. The "ground truth" for the performance of a sterilization wrap is established through adherence to recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM, AATCC) and validated laboratory testing protocols, not through expert consensus on qualitative data like images. The results are quantitative and objective (e.g., presence/absence of growth, pressure readings, weight measurements).

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. As noted above, the "ground truth" is based on objective, quantitative measurements derived from standardized test methods, not subjective interpretation requiring adjudication.

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

Not applicable. This device is a sterilization wrap, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device. Therefore, no MRMC study, human reader improvement, or AI assistance is relevant.

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

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device. The "standalone" performance refers to the physical and biological characteristics of the wrap itself under defined conditions.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" for this device is based on objective, quantitative measurements obtained through validated laboratory testing protocols and adherence to recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM, AATCC). For example:

  • Sterilization Efficacy: Absence of biological indicator growth (objective, quantitative).
  • Maintenance of Sterility (Microbial Barrier): Absence of microbial growth on coupons (objective, quantitative).
  • Biocompatibility: Quantified biological reactivity (e.g., Grade 0 for cytotoxicity, defined reaction levels for irritation/sensitization) according to ISO standards.
  • Physical Properties: Measured values (e.g., pressure, weight, load at break, tear force, air permeability) falling within specified acceptance criteria defined by ASTM/AATCC standards.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set. The "training" for this device's development would involve material science development and engineering, not data-driven model training.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of medical device.
