AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called the MAUSER PG II Sharps Container. It describes the device, its intended use, and the performance testing conducted to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It is not a document describing the acceptance criteria and study proving a device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/ML powered medical device, which is what your request implies by asking about ground truth, training sets, adjudication, MRMC studies, and expert qualifications.

The provided text focuses on the physical and mechanical properties of a sharps container, not on an AI's performance. Therefore, I cannot extract the information required for an AI/ML device study, such as sample size for test sets (as there isn't one in the context of AI), data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, type of ground truth (outside of physical test results), training set size, or how ground truth for training was established.

However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the physical device as presented in the document:

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set:
    • Puncture Resistance: "Various sections of container" were tested. The exact number of sections or containers is not specified.
    • Drop Test: Six containers (each of the three sizes) were tested.
    • Leak Resistance: Individual containers were tested (number not specified).
    • Stack Test: Individual containers were tested (number not specified).
    • Vibration Test: Individual containers were tested (number not specified).
    • Stability: Individual containers were tested (number not specified).
    • Strength of Handles: Individual containers were tested (number not specified).
  • Data Provenance: The tests were conducted internally by MAUSER USA, LLC. The document does not specify the country of origin of the data beyond the company's US address. The nature of these tests is clearly prospective, as they are performed to demonstrate compliance for a new device.

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 to the type of device and testing described. The "ground truth" here is established by standardized physical engineering test methods (ASTM, CFR, ISO), not by human expert consensus on medical images or diagnostic interpretations. The tests are objective measurements of physical properties.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable. Adjudication is typically relevant for subjective assessments, especially in clinical studies or for determining ground truth in image analysis. For objective physical tests, the results are based on direct measurement against predefined criteria.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

This information is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for evaluating the impact of a new technology (like AI) on human performance in diagnostic tasks. This document describes a physical sharps container, not a diagnostic or AI-enabled device.

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

This information is not applicable. There is no algorithm or software component for which standalone performance would be relevant.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on objective measurements derived from adherence to established engineering standards and regulations (ASTM F2132-01, DOT CFR Title 49, ISO 23907). For instance, for puncture resistance, the ground truth is the force measured in Newtons; for drop test, it's the observation of content release; for leak resistance, it's the observation of leakage.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. There is no AI/ML component described, and therefore no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The device's design is validated through the physical tests listed, not through a data-driven training process.

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

This information is not applicable as there is no training set for an AI/ML model. The "ground truth" for the device's design and manufacturing is derived from the established engineering standards and safe design principles for sharps containers.

2 Standard Specification for Puncture Resistance of Materials Used in Containers for Discarded Medical Needles and Other Sharps

3 Sharps Injury Protection - Requirements and test methods - Sharps Containers (First Edition 2012-09-01)

Puncture resistance – ASTM F2132-01 (Reapproved 2008) Standard Specification for Puncture Resistance of Materials used in Containers for Discarded Medical Needles and Other Sharps.

Puncture resistance was measured by taking various sections of container and subjecting them to penetration with a 21 gage by 1 inch needle. The force required to puncture the container was measured. The puncture resistance of each section of the container was greater than 15 N and the passing criterion was met.

Drop test - $178.603 (United States Department of Transportation Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49, Transportation, Parts 100-199)

Drop test was conducted by filling six containers to maximum authorized gross mass (60 liter -30 kg; 50 liter -28 kg; 30 liter -15 kg) with simulated medical waste. The containers were then conditioned at -18° C for 24 hours and dropped in specific orientations from a height of no less than 1.2 meters. No release of contents was observed and the passing criterion was met.

Leak resistance test - §173.197 Regulated medical waste (United States Department of Transportation Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49, Transportation, Parts 100-199)

Leak resistance was conducted by filling container to rated liquid capacity with water. The containers were then closed as per closing instructions and positioned upside down on cardboard paper to show any evidence of leaking. Contained upside down for 60 minutes while being observed for leakage. No leakage was observed and the passing criterion was met.

Stack test - §178.606 (c) (United States Department of Transportation Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49, Transportation, Parts 100-199)

Containers were filled to the required test capacity and closed as for shipment. Each container was subjected to a force applied to the top surface equivalent to the total weight of identical packages which might be stacked on it during transport. The minimum height of the stack, including the test sample, was 3 meters. Upon completion of the stack test, containers were observed for deformation. The containers did not deteriorate or release contents, and the passing criteria were met.

Containers were filled with simulated medical waste, closed as for shipment and placed on vibration table. The containers were then vibrated sing a vibration with a 1 in. vertical peak-to-peak displacement, for 60 minutes at a frequency that causes them to be raised enough such that a piece of material 1.6-mm thick can be passed between the container and the vibration platform. The containers did not rupture, leak or deteriorate, and the passing criteria were met.

Container Stability - ISO 23907 (Sharps Injury Protection - Requirements and test methods - Sharps Containers, First Edition 2012-09-01)

Container stability was evaluated by filling containers with a material of density 0.20+/-0.01 kg/l and placed on an incline with a minimum angle of 15°. Testing was conducted for each side of the container. The container did not slide or topple and the passing criteria were met.

Strength of Handles - ISO 23907 (Sharps Injury Protection - Requirements and test methods - Sharps Containers, First Edition 2012-09-01)

Handle strength was measured by filling container to 150% of its authorized gross mass and suspending it from handles for an hour at 23+/-5°C. The containers remained intact and handles did not rupture, tear. crack, or separate from the container and the passing criteria were met.

Clinical data were not submitted in this premarket notification

5.8 CONCLUSION

MAUSER PG II Sharps Container is substantially equivalent to Oak Ridge Products Sharps Container and Oak Ridge Products Multi-purpose Sharps Container (K130281 and K141759).
