Device Description

POWDERED VINYL EXAM GLOVES, WHITE

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the acceptance criteria and study proving a device meets these criteria. The device is 'Powdered Vinyl Exam Gloves, White' (K031104) from Glormed International, Inc.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Standard/Test)Reported Device Performance
ASTM D 5250-00E4Met or Exceeded
ASTM D 5151-99Met or Exceeded
ASTM D 6124-01Met or Exceeded
ISO 2859Met or Exceeded
MIL Std 105EMet or Exceeded
Bio-Compatibility: Dermal SensitizationMet or Exceeded
Bio-Compatibility: Primary Skin IrritationMet or Exceeded
Bio-Burden (Procedure Method 8315)Met or Exceeded

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes used for each test. However, the tests referenced are recognized industry standards for gloves.

  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. It implies the data was collected as part of the regulatory submission process. The study appears to be prospective in the sense that the tests were conducted specifically to demonstrate compliance for this device.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

This information is not provided in the document. The "ground truth" for this type of device is established by meeting the specified performance standards rather than expert consensus on individual observations.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as the evaluation is based on objective measurements against established technical standards, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

A Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed and is not relevant for this type of medical device (examination gloves). Such studies are typically conducted for diagnostic imaging devices where human interpretation plays a role.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

A standalone performance study is not applicable as this is a physical medical device (gloves), not an algorithm or AI system.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for this device is based on objective measurements and adherence to established industry-specific performance standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO, MIL Std for physical properties, and specific bio-compatibility tests). There is no "expert consensus," "pathology," or "outcomes data" in the conventional sense for proving the functional performance of examination gloves.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

There is no training set for this type of device. The device's performance is evaluated against predefined standards, not by training an algorithm.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This is not applicable as there is no training set for this device.
