Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to the requested information:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document details performance studies, primarily for microbial recovery and fill volume impact.

Acceptance Criteria (from CLSI document M40-A2 and internal study criteria)Reported Device Performance (from Tables 2 & 3)
Microbial Recovery: Within 1 log10 of the initial microorganism count.All strains tested (Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus Faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Citrobacter freundii, Candida glabrata, Enterobacter cloacae, Morganella morganii, Streptococcus agalactiae) showed a change in Log10 (0 - 48 hrs) within the range of -0.17 to -0.51 at both 2-4°C and 22-25°C. All reported values are within the 1 log10 acceptance criterion.
Fill Volume Impact Recovery: Less than 1 log10 change when the fill volume is above or below the nominal line.For E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and P. mirabilis at 90% and 110% fill volumes, the change in Log10 (0 - 48 hrs) ranged from -0.42 to -0.55. All reported values are within the 1 log10 acceptance criterion.
Shelf Life:**
Appearance, Vacuum, Leak testing, Strength test, 50Kpa Pressure Test, PET tube's mechanical stress testing, Sterility test, Standards of boric acid content, Package integrity must pass over 18 months.All samples passed the real-time aging test for 18 months at 22-25°C for all listed criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Microbial Recovery Studies:
    • Sample Size: "Three lots of the Disposable Urine Collection Tubes with three samples per lot were evaluated" (3 lots * 3 samples/lot = 9 total samples per condition/time point). The table indicates N=9 for average CFU/ml recovered.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The studies used "pooled human negative clinical urine matrix." The study is presented as part of a 510(k) submission to the US FDA by a Chinese manufacturer. It is a prospective analytical study comparing the device's performance over time.
  • Fill Volume Impact Recovery Study:
    • Sample Size: "Three production lots were tested in three replicates with each urine samples spiked with E. coli, P. aeruginosa or P. mirabilis" (3 lots * 3 replicates/lot = 9 total samples per microorganism/fill volume/time point). The table indicates N=9 for average CFU/ml recovered.
    • Data Provenance: Similar to microbial recovery, not explicitly stated beyond being an analytical study supporting the device's performance from a Chinese manufacturer.
  • Shelf Life Study:
    • Sample Size: "Six lots of varying production were used for the studies." Specific number of samples per lot or per test is not detailed beyond that.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. This is a prospective real-time aging study.

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 device is a urine collection, transport, and preservation tube, not an AI or diagnostic imaging device that requires expert interpretation of output. The "ground truth" for its performance studies is established by quantitative microbiological methods (e.g., counting colony-forming units (CFU/ml) and comparing them to initial counts), and physical/chemical tests (e.g., vacuum, leak, strength, borid acid content). Therefore, the concept of "experts" in the context of radiologists or similar interpretive professionals establishing ground truth is not applicable here. The ground truth is objective, laboratory-derived data.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. This is an analytical device where performance is measured objectively through laboratory tests (microbial culture, physical properties) rather than through subjective human interpretation or consensus. No adjudication method for "ground truth" is needed in this context.

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 a medical device for specimen collection and transport, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. No MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The ground truth for this device's performance is:

  • Microbiological Culture Counts (CFU/ml): For microbial recovery and fill volume impact studies, the "ground truth" is the quantitative measurement of viable microorganisms at different time points and conditions. This is an objective, laboratory-based measurement.
  • Physical and Chemical Test Results: For shelf-life studies, the "ground truth" is determined by objective measurements of vacuum, leak integrity, mechanical strength, sterility, and boric acid content.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

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

VIII. PERFORMANCE DATA

Analytical Performance

Microbial Recovery Studies:

Microbial recovery (viability) studies were conducted to support the claim of the Disposable Urine Collection Tube for the collection, transport and preservation of urine specimens from the collection site to the testing laboratory. Sample panels were prepared from the listed bacteria and yeast (below) that were commonly associated with urinary tract infections. Cultures from 1.5 × 10° (equivalent 0.5 McFarland standard) were diluted into the pooled human negative clinical urine matrix to give a final concentration of 1.5 x 102 CFU/ml. The appropriate volume of urine samples spiked with each organism was added to the Disposable Urine Collection Tubes. Three lots of the Disposable Urine Collection Tubes with three samples per lot were evaluated for the microbial recovery (viability) assay. The inoculated sample tubes were stored at 2-4ºC and 22-25ºC for 24, and 48 hrs. After each storage time and temperature, the samples were plated to grow colonies which were counted to determine CFU/ml for each time points. According to CLSI document M40-A2, the acceptance criteria for microbial recovery method was set to be within 1 log10 of the initial microorganism count. Results of recovery studies are presented in table 2.

Fill Volume Impact Recovery Study:

A fill volume impact recovery study was performed to demonstrate that underfilling of Disposable Urine Collection Tube containing preservative does not negatively impact the viability of urine microorganism. Sample panels were prepared by listed microorganisms (below) diluted from 1.5 x 108 CFU/mL (equivalent to a 0.5 McFarland standard) into the pooled human negative clinical urine matrix to give a final concentration of 1.5 x 102 CFU/ml. Three production lots were tested in three replicates with each urine samples spiked with E. coli, P. aeruginosa or P. mirabilis at the sample fill volume of 90% and 110%. The inoculated sample tubes were stored at 22-25°C for 0 and 48 hrs. After each storage time, the samples were plated to grow colonies which were counted to determine CFU/ml for each time points. The acceptance criterium for the study is less than 1 log10 change when the fill volume is above or below the line. The results were shown in table 3.

IX. STERILIZATION

The Disposable Urine Collection Tubes were sterilized by electron beam radiation with an average dose of 20 kGy to achieve a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10 ° with a dosimeter attached to monitor dosage through the sterilization process. Sterilization was validated following ISO 11137-1: 2006 and ISO 11137-2: 2013 Sterilization of Health Care Products Radiation guidelines. Sterility test was carried out according to ISO11137-2:2009 Medical Devices Radiation Sterilization-Microbiological Methods-Part 2. In this sterility test, 100 samples after irradiated at the verification dose were inoculated with 200 ml soybean casein liquid medium and incubated at 30±2℃ for 14 days. The results were observed with no growth.

X. SHELF LIFE

The shelf life for the Disposable Urine Collection Tube was determined to be 18 months from the date of manufacture when stored in well-ventilated clean room with the environment of relative humidity not more than 80% and at temperature 22 -25°C. The shelf life of the Disposable Urine Collection Tube was evaluated using real-time aging performance test at time points T = 0, 6, 12 and 18 months. At each time point, following performance test were conducted:

Appearance, Vacuum, Leak testing, Strength test, 50Kpa Pressure Test, PET tube's mechanical stress testing, Sterility test, Standards of boric acid content, Package integrity

Appearance test was carried out by inspecting visually for clear label, transparent PET tube and any sign of deformation or breakage. Vacuum test was performed by measuring volume drawn into the Disposable Urine Collection Tube between 90 to 110% of the nominal liquid capacity allowed. Physical and mechanical performance tests included leak test, strength test, and a 50 KPa pressure test. Mechanical stress test was conducted by checking the tubes could withstand centrifugation. The strength test, and urine collection volume capacity test were carried out as part of the evaluation. Sterility test and the standard of boric acid content (measuring the boric acid content in the tube) used were also assessed. The package integrity was evaluated by visually checking for any changes or damage to the package. Six lots of varying production were used for the studies and results showed that all samples passed the real time aging test for 18 months at 22-25°C.

{10}------------------------------------------------

The results for shelf-life study support that the Disposable Urine Collection Tube is physically or visually stable for 18 months.
