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

  • Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the specific number of units or samples tested for each non-clinical test. However, it indicates that the tests were performed in accordance with various ASTM, ISO, and AATCC standards, which typically specify appropriate sample sizes for such tests.
  • Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical, meaning they are laboratory-based and do not involve patient data. The manufacturer, Fugou County Shenxiang Manufacturing Co., LTD., is located in Henan Province, China. The testing would have been conducted by or overseen by the manufacturer or a third-party testing facility. The data is prospective in the sense that the tests were performed specifically to support this 510(k) submission.

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

  • Not Applicable. This submission is for surgical gowns, a physical medical device. The "ground truth" for its performance is established through standardized laboratory testing (e.g., barrier properties, strength, flammability) rather than expert consensus on medical images or patient outcomes. The experts involved would be those qualified in materials science, textile engineering, microbiology, and standard compliance, who conduct and interpret the results of these physical and chemical tests.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not Applicable. As mentioned above, the "ground truth" is determined by objective, standardized test protocols, not by expert review or adjudication of subjective interpretations.

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 device is a surgical gown, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, MRMC studies are not relevant.

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

  • Not Applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" is defined by objective measurements and performance standards (e.g., ANSI/AAMI PB70:2012, 16 CFR Part 1610, ASTM, and ISO standards) for material properties (hydrostatic pressure, water impact, breaking strength, tearing strength, linting, air permeability) and biological safety (biocompatibility tests like cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, and sterilant residues).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not Applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of a physical device like a surgical gown. The product’s design and manufacturing processes are developed to meet the performance criteria, and then tested to confirm compliance.

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

  • Not Applicable. See point 8.

§ 878.4040 Surgical apparel.

(a)
Identification. Surgical apparel are devices that are intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the surgical patient and the operating room personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. Examples include surgical caps, hoods, masks, gowns, operating room shoes and shoe covers, and isolation masks and gowns. Surgical suits and dresses, commonly known as scrub suits, are excluded.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for surgical gowns and surgical masks. A surgical N95 respirator or N95 filtering facepiece respirator is not exempt if it is intended to prevent specific diseases or infections, or it is labeled or otherwise represented as filtering surgical smoke or plumes, filtering specific amounts of viruses or bacteria, reducing the amount of and/or killing viruses, bacteria, or fungi, or affecting allergenicity, or it contains coating technologies unrelated to filtration (e.g., to reduce and or kill microorganisms). Surgical N95 respirators and N95 filtering facepiece respirators are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9, and the following conditions for exemption:(i) The user contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(ii) Analysis and nonclinical testing must:
(A) Characterize flammability and be demonstrated to be appropriate for the intended environment of use; and
(B) Demonstrate the ability of the device to resist penetration by fluids, such as blood and body fluids, at a velocity consistent with the intended use of the device.
(iii) NIOSH approved under its regulation.
(2) Class I (general controls) for surgical apparel other than surgical gowns and surgical masks. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9.
