2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state specific sample sizes for each individual test. However, it references several standards that typically dictate sample size requirements for testing and quality control:
- ISO 2859-1:1999: "Sampling procedures for inspection by attribute - Part 1: Sampling schemes indexed by acceptance quality limit (AQL) for lot-by-lot inspection." This standard would have guided the sample sizes for attribute inspection tests.
- ASTM F3172-15: "Design verification device size and sample selection for Endovascular devices." While the DUMI ManipulatOR is not an endovascular device, this standard indicates that sample size selection for design verification was a considered aspect of the testing strategy.
Given the nature of the device (uterine manipulator) and the tests performed (physical, mechanical, biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging), the data would be prospective as the tests were conducted specifically for this submission.
The provenance of the data is not explicitly stated per test but is implied to be from testing labs associated with The O.R. Company Pty Ltd, an Australian company with offices in Australia, North America, and Hong Kong. The testing was conducted to meet international and US FDA standards.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
This information is not provided in the document. The tests described are primarily objective, quantitative engineering, microbiological, and chemical tests. Clinical expert "ground truth" (e.g., radiologists, pathologists) is typically relevant for diagnostic devices or AI algorithms that interpret medical data. For a manual surgical instrument, the "ground truth" for performance is established through defined acceptance criteria in engineering standards, material science, and regulatory guidelines.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not applicable/provided. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are usually relevant in clinical trials or studies where human interpretation or consensus is required to establish a gold standard for disease presence or other clinical outcomes. The tests performed for the DUMI ManipulatOR are laboratory-based and objective, with outcomes determined by measurement against predetermined 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:
No, a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted and is not applicable to this device. The DUMI ManipulatOR is a manual surgical instrument, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for image interpretation. Therefore, there is no concept of "human readers" or "AI assistance" in its evaluation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
No, a standalone algorithm-only performance assessment was not done. The DUMI ManipulatOR is a physical medical instrument, not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on:
- Engineering and Material Standards: Defined specifications and performance limits derived from international and national standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM).
- Predicate Device Equivalence: The performance of the predicate device (Panpac Uterine Manipulator Injector, Model UMI 4.5) serves as a benchmark for comparison in several performance tests. The new device must perform "at least the same as" the predicate.
- Regulatory Requirements: Compliance with quality management systems (ISO 13485, 21 CFR 820), risk management (ISO 14971), and biocompatibility guidelines (ISO 10993 series).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
This information is not applicable. The DUMI ManipulatOR is not an AI/machine learning device, so there is no concept of a "training set" for an algorithm. The device itself is manufactured, and its performance is verified through testing.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
This information is not applicable as there is no "training set" for this type of device.
