2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
This document does not specify a "test set" in the context of an AI algorithm's performance on clinical data samples. The testing described is primarily engineering and software validation. Therefore, details like data provenance or sample size for a clinical test set are not applicable here.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not applicable as the document describes validation for an infusion pump, not an AI diagnostic or prognostic device requiring expert-established ground truth from clinical data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable for the reasons stated above.
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
This information is not applicable as the document describes validation for an infusion pump, not an AI-powered diagnostic product that would typically involve human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
While the pump contains software and the new functionality is WiFi to communicate wirelessly, the document describes the entire device (hardware and software) as the subject of the submission. It's not a standalone AI algorithm in the typical sense. The "Software Verification and Validation" constitutes testing of the algorithm/software within the device, but it's not described as a separate "standalone" performance study on clinical data.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the software and engineering validation tests listed:
- Electrical Safety, EMC, FCC Testing, Shelf Life: Ground truth is established by the specified international standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2) or internal quality control specifications for the administration sets.
