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

The document describes several tests:

  • In Vitro Testing (Inherent Viscosity): No specific sample size is provided, but it states "testing was performed." The data provenance is not specified, but it's an in-house lab test ("in vitro").
  • In Vitro Testing (Strength): No specific sample size is provided, but it states "testing demonstrates." Data provenance is not specified.
  • In Vitro Testing (Mechanical Strength): No specific sample size is provided, but it states "mechanical testing was performed." Data provenance is not specified.
  • In Vivo Testing (Animal Studies): No specific species or number of animals are provided, only "Animal studies were conducted." Data provenance is typically internal to the manufacturer or a contract research organization. These are prospective studies on animals.
  • Equivalence to Marketed Product: This is a comparison to previously cleared devices (K012025, K002699) and relies on their established performance, not a new test set of patients for the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap MAST Bioresorbable Sheet.

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

The document does not mention the use of human experts to establish ground truth for a test set in the context of the device's performance. The "ground truth" for material properties and animal studies would be established by the results of the scientific tests and observations themselves, as interpreted by the researchers/scientists conducting those studies.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

No adjudication method is described for any test set, as this is not a study involving human interpretation of data where consensus or adjudication would be required.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and effect size:

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was conducted or described. This type of study is typically done for diagnostic imaging devices where human interpretation is a key factor. This device is a surgical implant.

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

Not applicable. This device is a physical surgical mesh, not a software algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth used for proving the device meets acceptance criteria is primarily based on:

  • Empirical Measurement/Laboratory Data: For inherent viscosity, strength, and mechanical properties.
  • Biological Observation/Pathology: For the animal studies assessing safety and efficacy in vivo.
  • Established Performance of Predicate Devices: For demonstrating substantial equivalence, relying on the known performance and clearance of the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) and Sofradim Parietex Composite Mesh.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

Not applicable, as there is no training set mentioned for this type of device.

Material Composition

The MacroPore Surgi-Wrap MAST Bioresorbable Sheet is fabricated from polylactic acid (PLA).

In Vitro Testing

The MacroPore Survi-Wrap MAST Bioresorbable Sheet is intended to be heated in the surgical suite to temperatures above the material's glass transition temperature to facilitate shaping to anatomic structures. Therefore, testing was performed to determine the effect of prolonged heating in saline at 60°C on inherent viscosity. The testing demonstrates that viscosity stayed within an appropriate range over 120 minutes. The relatively brief exposure anticipated during the surgical preparation of MacroPore Surgi-Wrap MAST Bioresorbable Sheet is not expected to have a significant effect on its mechanical properties.

Aging testing was performed on MacroPore Surgi-Wrap MAST Bioresorbable Sheet. Testing demonstrated that the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap MAST Bioresorbable Sheet is strong enough for the indications for use.

Mechanical testing was performed on the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap MAST Bioresorbable Sheet which determined the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap MAST Bioresorbable Sheet to be substantially equivalent to the mechanical strengths of the predicate devices under indication for use conditions.
