AI/ML Overview

The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device: "Purism Disposable Surgical Mask". This document does not describe an AI/ML-driven medical device, nor does it detail a study involving AI assistance for human readers or a standalone AI algorithm. It's a standard regulatory submission for a physical medical product (a surgical mask) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing.

Therefore, many of the requested items related to AI/ML device studies (such as MRMC studies, human reader improvement with AI, ground truth establishment for training sets, etc.) are not applicable to this document.

However, I can extract information related to the acceptance criteria and the study (non-clinical testing) that proves the device meets these criteria, as detailed in the document.

Here's the breakdown based on the provided text, addressing the applicable points:


Device Name: Purism Disposable Surgical Mask
Regulatory Class: Class II

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set (Non-Clinical):
    • For Fluid Resistance: 96 specimens were tested (indicated by "94 out of 96 pass" and acceptance criterion "29 out of 32 specimens per lot"; 96 suggests 3 lots of 32, or a total of 96 samples tested to ensure sufficient statistical power).
    • For Particulate Filtration Efficiency, Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, Differential Pressure, and Flammability: 96 samples were tested for each.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted by or on behalf of Chuzhou Daddy's Choice Science and Technology Co., Ltd., based in Chuzhou City, Anhui, China. The data is from non-clinical laboratory testing specifically for this 510(k) submission. It is by nature "prospective" for the purpose of this submission, as it was generated to demonstrate compliance.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device requiring expert interpretation of images or other data for ground truth. The "ground truth" for these tests is the quantitative measurement results from standardized laboratory procedures.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device requiring human adjudication of data. Compliance is determined by objective laboratory measurements against predefined acceptance criteria.

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 is not an AI/ML device. No MRMC study was conducted.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device. No standalone algorithm performance was assessed.

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

For non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing, the "ground truth" is defined by the standardized test methods and their objective quantitative results. For example:

  • Fluid Resistance: Visual observation of synthetic blood penetration after impact.
  • Filtration Efficiencies: Quantitative measurement of particle/bacteria concentration reduction.
  • Differential Pressure: Measurement of pressure differential across the mask material.
  • Flammability: Classification based on burn characteristics.
  • Biocompatibility: In-vitro (cytotoxicity) or in-vivo (irritation, sensitization) biological responses observed in laboratory models, interpreted against established biological safety evaluation criteria (e.g., ISO 10993 series).

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "training set."

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.


In summary, the provided document describes a traditional medical device (surgical mask) and its non-clinical testing for 510(k) clearance, which relies on standardized physical and chemical performance tests rather than AI/ML methodologies.
