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

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify a numerical sample size for the "test set" in terms of number of sterilizer cycles or biological indicator runs. Instead, it refers to qualification studies conducted "as described in" various sections of the AAMI/ANSI ST8:2008 and ST79:2006 standards. These standards typically outline the protocols for validation, which involve performing a sufficient number of cycles to demonstrate reproducibility and efficacy.
  • Data Provenance: The studies were conducted by Belimed Sauter AG, likely at their facilities in Switzerland (given the submitter's address). The data is presumably prospective, as it describes verification studies performed specifically for this device model. The regulatory standards (AAMI/ANSI) are international, though the submission is for the US market.

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

  • This information is not applicable. The "ground truth" for a steam sterilizer's performance is objective - the complete kill of biological indicators and the achievement of a specific Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) confirmed through laboratory testing and physical measurements (e.g., temperature, pressure, time). It does not involve expert interpretation or consensus in the context of medical imaging or diagnostic devices.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used for resolving disagreements among human readers or expert reviewers, typically in diagnostic studies. The evaluation of a sterilizer's performance is based on quantifiable physical and biological outcomes, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.

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

  • No MRMC or comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with or without AI assistance was done. This type of study is irrelevant for a steam sterilizer device.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

  • No standalone algorithm performance study was done. This device is a physical sterilizer, not an AI algorithm. Its "performance" is its ability to effectively sterilize materials, not to produce diagnostic outputs. While it does have "software validation," this refers to the control system's proper functioning, not a diagnostic algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The ground truth used for validating the sterilizer's performance is:
    • Biological Indicators: Complete kill of robust test organisms (e.g., bacterial spores like Geobacillus stearothermophilus) used in biological indicator preparations.
    • Physical Parameters: Achievement and maintenance of specific temperature, pressure, and time conditions within the sterilizer chamber.
    • Chemical Indicators: Proper color changes or responses of chemical indicators and Bowie-Dick test packs.
    • Moisture Retention: Measurement of moisture content in test packs post-sterilization.
    • These are objective, measurable outcomes in accordance with established sterilization standards (AAMI/ANSI).

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • This device does not involve a "training set" in the context of AI/ML. The sterilizer's design and factory-programmed cycles are developed based on engineering principles and established sterilization science, not by training a model on a dataset. The "validation" performed is more akin to verification and performance testing against predetermined standards.

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

  • Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this device. The physical and biological ground truths described in point 7 are used for validation and verification, not for training a machine learning model.
