2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample sizes for each test set. It mentions tests were performed on the "proposed device" and "aging samples" for shelf-life. In the Safety Feature Test, tests were performed on "both proposed device and predicate device".

The data provenance is from non-clinical tests conducted by Gemtier Medical (Shanghai) Inc. in China (manufacturer location). The nature of these tests (bench testing, simulated clinical study) implies they are prospective in execution, meaning they were designed and performed for the purpose of this submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This section is not applicable as the document describes non-clinical and simulated clinical studies for a medical device (syringes and needles), not studies involving human subjects or expert assessment of medical images/data for ground truth. The acceptance criteria are based on compliance with international standards and internal design specifications, not expert consensus on medical conditions.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This section is not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies or studies where subjective interpretations need to be resolved. The tests described here are objective performance measurements against established standards.

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 a sterile syringe and needle system, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology that would involve human readers or AI assistance.

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

This is not applicable. The device is a physical medical instrument, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by the international standards (e.g., ISO 7886-1, ISO 7864, ISO 9626, ISO 10993-7, ISO 23908, ISO 80369-7) and internal design specifications against which the device was tested. For biocompatibility, the lack of "negative impacts" is the ground truth. For the safety mechanism, meeting "pre-established criteria" of relevant guidance documents serves as the ground truth.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable. The document describes the testing and comparison of a physical medical device. There is no training set mentioned, as this is not an AI/ML device.

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

This is not applicable as there is no training set for this device.

Discussion of Differences

Comment 1

The configuration between proposed device and predicate device is different. However, the basic configurations are same, both of them include barrel, plunger, piston, needle hub, protective or needle cap. The only different is retractable cartridge, jointing medium and safety sheath, which are parts of safety mechanism, and predicate device lubricant adhesive and colorant information unknown. Additionally, the safety mechanism does affect the indication for use. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence.

The material of configuration is different between proposed device and predicate device. However, the mainly configurations such as barrel, plunger, piston, needle/protective cap are made of same materials. The only differences are the material of needle hub, safety feature, lubricant, adhesive and colorant. And the MSDS for all related materials has been provided in this submission. Differences in materials of construction are addressed through ISO 10993-1: biocompatibility testing. Additionally, the material of configuration does not affect the indication for use. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence.

Comment 2
