The provided document is a 510(k) summary for medical gloves, and as such, it does not involve an AI/ML device. Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/ML device studies (e.g., sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types) are not applicable.
Here's an analysis based on the information available for this medical device (examination gloves):
1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Characteristics | Acceptance Criteria (Standard) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | Meets ASTM D 6319-00a(2005) | Meets ASTM D 6319-00a(2005) |
| Physical Properties | Meets ASTM D 6319-00a(2005) | Meets ASTM D 6319-00a(2005) |
| Freedom from Holes | Meets ASTM D 6319-00a(2005) & Meets ASTM D 5151-06 | Meets ASTM D 6319-00a(2005) & Meets ASTM D 5151-06 |
| Powder-Free | Powder content ≤ 2 mg per glove | Powder content ≤ 2 mg per glove |
| Biocompatibility (ISO Skin Irritation Study) | No irritation | No irritation |
| Biocompatibility (ISO Maximization Sensitization Study - Extract) | No irritation | No irritation |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not specify the sample sizes used for testing each characteristic. The data provenance is not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin but is based on performance tests against established ASTM and ISO standards for medical gloves. The tests are non-clinical.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable for this type of medical device (examination gloves). Ground truth is established by adherence to physical and chemical standards and biocompatibility tests, not by expert consensus in the same way as an imaging or diagnostic AI/ML device would require.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. Testing involves standardized measurement and laboratory procedures, not human adjudication of performance in a diagnostic sense.
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
Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.
7. The type of ground truth used
The ground truth is based on the specifications outlined in several ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards for medical examination gloves. These are objective, measurable criteria and test methods. Specifically:
- ASTM D 6319-00a(2005): Standard Specification for Nitrile Examination Gloves for Medical Application.
- ASTM D 5151-06: Standard Test Method for Detection of Holes in Medical Gloves.
- ISO standards for biocompatibility: (specific standard numbers not provided, but mentioned as "ISO Skin Irritation Study" and "ISO Maximization Sensitization Study - Extract").
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device. There is no "training set" in the context of physical product testing for medical gloves.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable.

Dear Ms. Ingram:
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.
