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

  • Sample Size for Physical/Chemical Tests: Not explicitly stated as a single number. The testing is based on ASTM standards (D6319-10, D5151-06, D6124-06) which prescribe sampling plans for quality control (e.g., AQL for pinholes).
  • Sample Size for Chemotherapy Permeation: Not explicitly stated. ASTM D6978-05, the standard referenced, outlines the methodology for testing permeation, which would involve multiple samples.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted to meet established ASTM and ISO standards. The manufacturer is ECO MEDI GLOVE SDN. BHD. based in Malaysia. The tests appear to be prospective for the purpose of demonstrating substantial equivalence.

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

  • N/A: This is a physical device, and its performance is measured against objective standards (ASTM, ISO) and laboratory tests, not subjective expert judgment for ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • N/A: Not applicable for objective physical and chemical testing.

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:

  • N/A: This is not an AI/ML device, and no MRMC study was performed.

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

  • N/A: This is not an AI/ML device. The "standalone" performance refers to the glove's physical and chemical properties.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • Objective Standards and Laboratory Measurements: The "ground truth" for this device is based on its ability to meet the specifications outlined in recognized international standards (ASTM D6319-10 for nitrile gloves, ASTM D6978-05 for chemotherapy drug permeation, ASTM D5151-06 for pinholes, ASTM D6124-06 for residual powder, and ISO 10993-10 for biocompatibility). These are quantifiable, objective measurements.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • N/A: There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.

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

  • N/A: There is no "training set" for this type of device.
