2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each test set. It mentions "studies" and "testing" without providing numerical details for the number of units or data points tested in non-clinical assessments.
- Data Provenance: All non-clinical testing (Software, EMC/Electrical Safety, Sterilization Validation, Shelf Life and Transport Validation, Contamination Control and Rinsing, Biocompatibility, Performance – Bench, Extractables and Simulation, Human Factors / Usability) was performed as part of K233737, indicating it was conducted for the predicate device. Additional chemical compatibility testing was conducted for the current submission (K241850) to support new contrast media. The origin of the data (e.g., country) is not specified beyond being part of ulrich GmbH & Co. KG's submission, implying internal company testing. Studies are described as "non-clinical" and "bench," which means they are not human clinical trials.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. The document discusses non-clinical bench testing, not image-based diagnostic performance involving expert readers establishing ground truth. The "Human Factors / Usability" study confirms the device's safety and effectiveness for its intended users (trained healthcare professionals), but it's not about expert clinical interpretation for a diagnostic algorithm.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. This type of adjudication method is used for establishing ground truth in diagnostic studies involving multiple human readers, which is not described in this document.
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 contrast media management system, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging 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 device is a physical medical device (an injector) with software controls, not an algorithm meant for standalone diagnostic performance.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For non-clinical testing, "ground truth" generally refers to established scientific principles, engineering specifications, recognized industry standards (e.g., ISO, IEC), and predetermined specifications for the device's performance. For biocompatibility, it's compliance with ISO 10993-1. For sterilization, it's achieving a specified Sterility Assurance Level. For performance metrics like flow rate and volume accuracy, it's meeting the ±5% specification.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. The document refers to a physical medical device and its controls, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as no training set for a machine learning model is mentioned.
