This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a Disposable Medical Face Mask, not a study describing the performance of a medical device against specific acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/human reader study. Therefore, most of the questions regarding acceptance criteria and study design for AI/human performance are not applicable.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and reported performance for the Disposable Medical Face Mask based on non-clinical testing of the physical characteristics of the mask.
Here's the information based on the provided text, focusing on the mask's non-clinical performance and not on AI/human reader studies.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Test Item | Acceptance Criteria (ASTM F2100 Level 2) | Reported Device Performance (MK-34, DY 95, DY 97) | Reported Device Performance (DY 96) | Met Criteria? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) | ≥ 98% | 99.8% | 99.9% | Yes |
| Differential Pressure (Delta-P) | < 6.0 mm H2O/cm² | 4.2 mm H2O/cm² | 4.0 mm H2O/cm² | Yes |
| Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE) at 0.1 µm | ≥ 98% | 98.9% | 99.3% | Yes |
| Synthetic Blood Penetration | Resistant claimed at 120 mm Hg | Pass at 120 mm Hg | Pass at 120 mm Hg | Yes |
| Flammability | Class 1 | Class 1 | Class 1 | Yes |
| Cytotoxicity | Non-cytotoxic | Non-cytotoxic | Non-cytotoxic | Yes |
| Irritation | Non-irritating | Non-irritating | Non-irritating | Yes |
| Sensitization | Non-sensitizing | Non-sensitizing | Non-sensitizing | Yes |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for each non-clinical performance test (e.g., how many masks were tested for BFE, PFE, etc.). It only provides the results for the different models of the mask. The data provenance is testing conducted for Guangzhou Mei Yi Kang Medical Technology CO., LTD. in China. The tests are non-clinical and relate to product performance, not patient data.
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 question is not applicable. The "ground truth" for this device (a medical face mask) is established by standardized laboratory test methods (e.g., ASTM F2101-14, EN 14683: 2019, ASTM F2299-03, 16 CFR Part 1610, ISO 10993). These are objective measurements performed in a laboratory setting, not based on expert interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 refer to agreement among experts to establish ground truth in diagnostic studies. The tests conducted for this device are laboratory-based physical and biological performance tests, not diagnostic interpretations requiring expert consensus.
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 question is not applicable. This document is for a Disposable Medical Face Mask, not an AI-powered diagnostic device, and therefore no MRMC study was performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable. This device is not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance of the medical face mask is established by standardized laboratory test methods against predefined performance metrics (e.g., Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, Differential Pressure, Particulate Filtration Efficiency, Synthetic Blood Penetration, Flammability, and Biocompatibility tests according to ISO 10993 standards). These are objective measurements rather than interpretations requiring expert consensus or pathology.
8. The sample size for the training set
This question is not applicable. This document pertains to the performance testing of a physical medical device (face mask), not an AI algorithm. There is no concept of a "training set" in this context.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This question is not applicable, as there is no training set for a physical medical device.
