2. Sample size 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 sample sizes for each test in the level of detail (e.g., number of gloves tested for each specific property or chemotherapy drug). It only refers to compliance with the standards (e.g., AQL 2.5 for freedom from holes).

The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not mentioned. These are bench tests, not human trials or medical imaging data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable. The document describes bench testing of physical and chemical properties of gloves, not expert interpretation of medical images or clinical data.

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

This information is not applicable. The tests are laboratory-based and follow standardized testing protocols, which do not typically involve adjudication methods like those used for expert review of clinical cases.

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

This information is not applicable. The document describes the testing of medical examination gloves, which are physical products, not AI systems or medical imaging devices. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance are irrelevant.

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

This information is not applicable. The document describes the testing of medical examination gloves, which are physical products, not algorithms.

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

The "ground truth" for these tests is defined by the technical specifications and performance requirements outlined in the referenced ASTM and ISO standards. For example:

  • Physical properties (length, width, thickness, tensile strength, elongation) are measured objectively against defined numerical limits.
  • Freedom from holes is assessed against an Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL), a statistical measure.
  • Resistance to chemotherapy drugs is measured by detecting breakthrough time using specific analytical methods defined in ASTM D6978.
  • Biocompatibility tests (irritation, sensitization, cytotoxicity, systemic toxicity) are assessed by observing biological responses in animal models or in vitro systems against established criteria for non-irritancy, non-sensitization, and non-toxicity according to ISO standards.

Essentially, the "ground truth" reflects compliance with regulatory and industry standards for glove performance and safety.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable, as this is not a machine learning model.

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

This information is not applicable, as this is not a machine learning model.

H. CLINICAL TESTING SUMMARY

Not applicable - Clinical data is not needed for gloves.

I. CONCLUSION

The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical test demonstrate that the subject device in 510(K) submission, Nephron Nitrile Powder-Free Nitrile Examination Gloves (Tested For Use With Chemotherapy Drugs) is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device K213440.

§ 880.6250 Non-powdered patient examination glove.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. A non-powdered patient examination glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device, when it is a finger cot, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
