The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the Ningbo Youhuan Automation Technology Co., Ltd. Power Wheelchair (YH-E7007). It details the device's characteristics and compares it to a predicate device, but it does not include information about acceptance criteria and a study proving that the device meets these criteria in the context of an AI/ML-driven device.
This document is for a Power Wheelchair, which is a physical device, and the evaluation for substantial equivalence primarily relies on non-clinical performance testing against established ISO standards and a comparison of technical specifications with a legally marketed predicate device.
Therefore, many of the requested points regarding AI/ML device evaluation are not applicable to this submission. I will address the relevant sections based on the provided text, and explicitly state when information is not available or not applicable.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not applicable in the context of an AI/ML test set as this is a physical device submission. The "test set" for this device consists of the physical device undergoing non-clinical performance and safety testing according to ISO standards. The text does not specify the number of units tested, but it states that "Non-clinical tests were conducted to verify that the proposed device met all design specifications." These tests are typically conducted in a laboratory setting.
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 is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth establishment. The ground truth for performance is defined by established international engineering standards (ISO, IEC).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML diagnostic device requiring human adjudication. Compliance with engineering standards is determined by test results vs. predefined thresholds.
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 is not applicable as this is a physical medical device (power wheelchair), not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive technology that would involve human readers or MRMC studies. No such study was performed or is relevant for this device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable for a power wheelchair. While the device has software, it does not operate as a "standalone algorithm" in the diagnostic or analytical sense. Its software controls the physical operation of the wheelchair.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for the device's performance and safety is defined by international engineering standards (ISO and IEC). These standards specify test methods and acceptable performance limits (e.g., stability angles, braking distances, speed, electromagnetic compatibility). For biocompatibility, the ground truth refers to established guidelines and tests (e.g., ISO 10993 series) to confirm material safety.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable as this is a physical device. There is no "training set" in the AI/ML sense for this product.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

Dear Boyle Wang:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule").

Table 3: Safety Comparison
Summary of substantial equivalence discussion:
The technological characteristics, features, specifications, materials, mode of operation, and intended use of the device substantially equivalent to the predicate devices quoted above. The differences between the subject device and predicate devices do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. The differences between the subject device and predicate devices do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.
Conclusion
The conclusions drawn from the comparison and analysis above demonstrate that the proposed device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicated device in K202482 and raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness. The differences between both devices are insignificant in terms of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
