Not Found
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA regarding "Top Glove Latex Examination Gloves, Contains 50 Micrograms or Less of Total Water Extractable Protein Per Gram." This type of document is a regulatory approval, not a scientific study report. It confirms substantial equivalence to a predicate device but does not contain detailed information about acceptance criteria for device performance or a study demonstrating that the device meets those criteria.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information such as:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This document confirms regulatory compliance, not performance data against specific criteria like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy for a diagnostic device.
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable as no specific performance study is detailed.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable.
- Adjudication method: Not applicable.
- 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, as this is a medical glove, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device.
- If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
The letter explicitly states: "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...". This indicates a comparison to existing, legally marketed predicate devices, rather than a novel performance study against specific acceptance criteria in the manner of an AI/diagnostic device. The "Indications For Use" section simply describes the purpose of exam gloves.

Dear Mr. Chai:
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 (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. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
