AI/ML Overview

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for Disposable Urinary Catheters (PVC, Silicone, and Latex). It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a de novo evaluation of clinical effectiveness with an AI component. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding AI-specific studies (e.g., sample sizes for test sets, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, training set details) is not applicable or present in this document.

Here's an analysis of the provided information, addressing the applicable points:

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

This document describes non-clinical "bench testing" and "biocompatibility tests" performed in accordance with standards like EN 1616, ASTM F623, and ISO 10993. These types of tests do not typically involve patient-specific data or test sets in the context of AI. The sample sizes for these bench tests are not specified in this document, nor is the data provenance in terms of country of origin or retrospective/prospective status as it would be for a clinical study. The device manufacturer is Zhanjiang Star Enterprise Co., Ltd based in China.

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

Not applicable. This is a non-clinical, bench testing submission. No "ground truth" established by experts in a clinical context (e.g., radiologists) is mentioned or required for this type of submission.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. There are no clinical test sets or expert evaluations requiring adjudication in this submission.

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. This device is a urinary catheter, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology. No MRMC studies were conducted or described.

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

Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device (urinary catheter) and does not involve an algorithm or AI.

7. The type of ground truth used

For the performance tests, the "ground truth" is defined by the technical specifications and requirements outlined in the referenced international standards (e.g., EN 1616, ASTM F623). For biocompatibility, the "ground truth" is adherence to the criteria set forth in the ISO 10993 series of standards. This is not clinical "ground truth" such as pathology or outcomes data.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device does not involve machine learning or AI, and therefore, no training set.

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

Not applicable. No training set exists for this device.
