(Implies meeting all specified criteria).

Study that Proves the Device Meets the Acceptance Criteria (Non-Clinical Testing):

The document explicitly states: "Non clinical tests were conducted to provide data that the proposed devices met the acceptance criteria or the specification for the test methodology or standard shown below. The test results demonstrated that the proposed devices comply with the following standards."

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

  • Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the specific number of gloves or animals used for each test. However, it references specific ASTM and ISO standards (e.g., ASTM D5151-19, which specifies AQL levels and inspection levels for Freedom from Holes). These standards define appropriate sample sizes for testing compliance. For instance, ASTM D5151-19, AQL 2.5, Inspection Level G-1 means the sample size is determined by the lot size, but for the specifically mentioned acceptance/rejection criteria (Accept at 5 failures, Reject at 6 failures), it implies a certain sample size bracket within the standard.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin where the non-clinical tests were performed. It states the sponsor is Beijing Biosis Healing Biological Technology Co., Ltd. from China, so it's reasonable to infer the tests were conducted in or overseen by this entity. The data is retrospective in the sense that the tests were performed, and the results are being reported as part of a premarket submission.

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

  • This section talks about the establishment of ground truth for a test set, typically relevant for AI/ML device evaluations. This document describes the evaluation of a physical medical device (gloves) against established performance standards. Therefore, the "ground truth" is based on objective, standardized test methods and their defined acceptance criteria. It is not based on expert consensus interpreting subjective data.
  • The tests themselves are performed by trained personnel in a laboratory setting, but the document does not specify the number or qualifications of these individuals, as it's not a multi-reader study.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. This is not a study involving human readers or subjective interpretations requiring adjudication. The tests are objective and based on physical measurements and chemical analyses as per 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

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that assists human readers. It is a physical medical device (gloves).

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

  • Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device. The "standalone" performance refers to the device's ability to meet the specified performance criteria as tested in isolation according to the listed ASTM and ISO standards. The results table clearly indicates that the device met these criteria.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The ground truth used for this device's evaluation is primarily objective, standardized test results based on established international (ISO) and national (ASTM) consensus standards. These standards define measurable physical, chemical, and biological properties, along with clear acceptance/rejection criteria. For biocompatibility tests (skin sensitization, irritation, acute toxicity), the ground truth is established by the biological responses observed in the test models (e.g., animal models) according to the protocols defined in ISO 10993.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set." The device itself is a manufactured product, not a learned algorithm.

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

  • Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.
