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

The document provides specific values for various measurements (e.g., length, width, thickness, tensile strength, ultimate elongation, residual powder content, extractable protein content) across different glove sizes (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, XX-Large). For tests like Water Tightness (AQL 1.5 achieved) and Biocompatibility testing (Primary Skin Irritation, Dermal Sensitization, In vitro cytotoxicity, Material mediated Pyrogenicity), the methodology implies testing on a statistically significant sample, but the exact sample sizes are not explicitly stated in the provided text for each test.

The data provenance is from non-clinical tests conducted by JR Engineering & Medical Technologies (M) SDN.BHD. in Malaysia. The study is a prospective assessment of the device's adherence to established ASTM 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 applicable as the document describes non-clinical testing of physical and chemical properties of a medical device (gloves), not studies requiring expert interpretation of medical images or conditions to establish a ground truth. The "ground truth" here is defined by established engineering and medical device standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO).

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This is not applicable for the type of testing described (physical and chemical properties testing against standards). Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies for medical image interpretation or diagnostic accuracy assessments where human expert consensus is required.

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 document describes the performance of an examination glove, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology.

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

This is not applicable. This document evaluates a physical medical device (gloves), not a software algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth used for these tests is based on established industry standards and specifications:

  • ASTM D3578-05 (Reapproved 2015) Standard Specification for Rubber Examination Gloves
  • ASTM D5151-06 (Reapproved 2015) Standard Test Method for Detection of Holes in Medical Gloves
  • ASTM D6124-06 (Reapproved 2017) Standard Test Method for Residual Powder on Medical Gloves
  • ASTM D 5712-95 (Reapproved 2010) Standard Test Method for the Analysis of Protein in Natural Rubber
  • ISO 10993-10:2010(E) for Primary Skin Irritation and Dermal Sensitization
  • ISO 10993-5:2009(E) for In vitro cytotoxicity
  • ISO 10993-11:2017(E) / USP for Material mediated Pyrogenicity

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable as this pertains to a physical product's performance validation, not a machine learning model.

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

This is not applicable (see #8).

Dear Manoj Zacharias:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

{1}------------------------------------------------

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

H.CONCLUSION

The conclusion drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrates that the subject device in 510(K) submission K 192329, Blue Latex Examination Powder Free Gloves is as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device K141042.

§ 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.
