2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes for each non-clinical test. However, it indicates that the tests were performed in accordance with the referenced standards (e.g., ASTM F1862/F1862M, ASTM F2299/F2299M-03, ASTM F2101, EN 14683, 16 CFR Part 1610, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10). These standards typically define appropriate sample sizes for such tests.
The provenance of the data is that the tests were performed on the proposed device by Winner Medical Co., Ltd. The company is located in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. The data is prospective, generated specifically for this 510(k) submission.
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 is a non-clinical study for a physical device (surgical mask) based on standardized test methods for material performance and biocompatibility. Therefore, the "ground truth" is defined by the established acceptance criteria within those standards, as measured by laboratory testing. There are no "experts" in the sense of medical professionals establishing ground truth from observational data; rather, the expertise lies in the certified laboratories and personnel performing the standardized tests.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable for non-clinical performance testing of a physical device. The results are obtained through standardized laboratory measurements.
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 not an AI/software device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an AI/software device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The ground truth for the non-clinical tests is based on the objective measurements and pass/fail criteria defined by internationally recognized standards (ASTM, EN, ISO, CFR) for medical face masks and biocompatibility.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. As noted above, there is no training set for this device.
