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

The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes for each test within the functional performance and biocompatibility sections. However, it indicates that testing was performed per current ISO and USP standards. These standards typically outline minimum sample size requirements for the tests they prescribe to ensure statistical validity.

The data provenance is not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin. The study is retrospective as it involves validation of design changes for a device for which substantial equivalence is being claimed to a previously cleared predicate device.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This type of submission (510(k) for a medical device) typically relies on objective laboratory testing against recognized consensus standards rather than expert consensus for individual test results. Therefore, there is no mention of experts establishing ground truth in the context of radiologists or similar clinical experts. The "ground truth" for these non-clinical tests is established by the specifications and methodologies outlined in the referenced ISO and USP standards. The validation is performed by engineers and scientists, whose qualifications would implicitly align with the requirements of design verification and validation in medical device manufacturing.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As described above, the evaluation of the test set is based on objective conformity to established international standards, not on subjective expert assessment that would require an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1.

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

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission is for a non-clinical medical device (hypodermic syringe), not an AI-powered diagnostic or imaging device. Therefore, a study comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance is not relevant to this type of device.

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

Not Applicable. The device is a physical medical device (syringe), not an algorithm or software requiring standalone performance testing in this context.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth used for the non-clinical tests (functional performance and biocompatibility) is defined by the specifications and acceptance criteria outlined in the referenced ISO and USP international consensus standards. For example:

  • Functional Performance: Ground truth is defined by the quantitative limits (e.g., maximum plunger force, fluid leakage limits, dimensional tolerances) specified in ISO 7886-1, ISO 7864, and ISO 9626.
  • Biocompatibility: Ground truth is defined by the qualitative and quantitative endpoints (e.g., absence of cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation) and methodologies specified in ISO 10993-1.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not Applicable. This is a non-clinical evaluation of a physical medical device. There is no "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI algorithms.

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

Not Applicable. As there is no training set for this type of device submission, the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set does not apply.
