Study Details:

Based on the provided document, the study conducted is a non-clinical performance evaluation against established standards for patient examination gloves.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
    The document does not specify the exact sample size used for each test. However, it indicates that the tests were performed according to specified ASTM and ISO standards, which inherently include sampling methodologies. The provenance of the data is Malaysia, as the manufacturer is "Wear Safe (Malaysia) Sdn.Bhd." The data is retrospective in the sense that it reflects testing performed on product samples to demonstrate compliance at the time of the 510(k) submission.

  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
    This information is not applicable to this type of device and study. The "ground truth" for the performance characteristics is established by adherence to the highly standardized and objective testing methods outlined in the ASTM and ISO standards. These standards themselves are developed by expert committees, but the immediate study does not involve human expert adjudication of individual test results in the way it would for, say, diagnostic image interpretation.

  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
    None in the context of human expert adjudication. The "adjudication" is met by following the prescribed methodology of the ASTM and ISO standards. For instance, pinhole testing involves visual inspection of water-filled gloves, and if a leak is observed, it's a pinhole. There isn't an "expert consensus" on whether a pinhole exists; it's a direct observation.

  4. 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:
    No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted, and this type of study is not relevant for examination gloves. MRMC studies are typically performed for diagnostic devices (e.g., AI for radiology) where human interpretation is a key component. This device is a barrier protection product.

  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
    Not applicable. This device is a physical product (gloves), not an algorithm or AI system. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not a relevant concept here.

  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
    The "ground truth" is defined by the objective measurement and observation protocols outlined in the referenced ASTM and ISO standards. For example:

    • Dimensions: Measured against specified ranges in ASTM D3578.
    • Physical Properties: Tensile strength, elongation, etc., measured using ASTM D 412.
    • Freedom from pin-holes: Evaluated according to ASTM D 5151 (e.g., water leak test).
    • Powder Free Residue: Measured using ASTM D 6124.
    • Biocompatibility: Determined through specific in vivo (e.g., animal or human patch tests, though the document doesn't specify if human or animal for this submission) tests following ISO 10993-10 guidelines, where the "ground truth" is the observed biological response (e.g., absence of sensitization or irritation).
  7. The sample size for the training set:
    Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is a physical product, not a machine learning model.

  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
    Not applicable. There is no training set for this type of device.

Dear Mr. Tan:

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.
