2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not specify the exact sample sizes for each test mentioned (e.g., how many gloves were tested for pinholes, tensile strength, or chemotherapy permeation). It references standards like ASTM D6319-10 and ASTM D6978-05, which would have their own defined sample size requirements.

The data provenance is from Malaysia, as the submitter, BRIGHTWAY HOLDINGS SDN. BHD., is located in Klang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia. The data appears to be prospective as it involves direct testing of the device against established standards.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This information is not provided in the document. The acceptance criteria and performance are based on recognized industry standards (ASTM, ISO), meaning the "ground truth" is defined by these standards rather than expert consensus on specific cases. The testing was performed according to these established protocols.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This information is not applicable/not provided as the evaluation is based on objective measurements against predefined standards (ASTM, ISO) rather than subjective assessment requiring adjudication.

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 is not applicable. The device is an examination glove, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance is irrelevant.

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

This is not applicable. The device is an examination glove, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth used is based on established industry standards and regulatory requirements. Specifically:

  • Physical properties (tensile strength, elongation, dimensions, freedom from pinholes, residual powder) are compared against specifications in ASTM D6319-10.
  • Biocompatibility (primary skin irritation, dermal sensitization, systemic toxicity) is evaluated against ISO 10993-10 and ISO 10993-11 requirements.
  • Resistance to chemotherapy drug permeation is tested according to ASTM D6978-05.
  • The overall criteria for patient examination gloves are also linked to FDA 21 CFR 880.6250.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable. The device is a physical product (gloves), not a machine learning model that requires a training set. The "training" in this context refers to the manufacturing process and quality control, not data training for an algorithm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

§ 880.6250 Non-powdered patient examination glove.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. A non-powdered patient examination glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device, when it is a finger cot, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
