2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each specific non-clinical test. It lists the tests performed and their results for the different types of gowns (Comfort Gown and Safewear Gown, across various levels and styles).
The data provenance is non-clinical testing, performed by the manufacturer (Xuchang Zhengde Environstar Medical Products Co., Ltd.) to specific international and national standards (e.g., AATCC, ASTM, ISO, CFR). The country of origin of the data is implied to be China, given the manufacturer's address. The data is prospective in the sense that these tests were conducted specifically for the submission to demonstrate compliance.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
This information is not applicable as the acceptance criteria are based on pre-defined objective performance standards (e.g., cm H2O for hydrostatic pressure, N for breaking strength, etc.), not expert consensus on qualitative data. The "ground truth" here is the pass/fail against these quantifiable benchmarks.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This is not applicable as the tests are objective, quantitative measurements against established standards, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.
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 is not applicable. The device is a surgical gown, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. No MRMC study was performed.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This is not applicable. The device is a physical product (surgical gown), not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth for the device's performance is based on established standard specifications and quantifiable measurements (e.g., physical properties like strength, barrier performance, and biological safety evaluations). This is analogous to "bench testing" or "laboratory outcomes data" for medical devices, rather than expert consensus, pathology, or clinical outcomes data in the context of diagnostic algorithms.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
This is not applicable. The context is non-clinical performance testing of a physical medical device, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
This is not applicable for the same reason as above.
