Note: This submission is for a traditional medical device (solution administration sets), not an AI/ML device. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML specific studies (sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set sample size, training set ground truth) are not applicable to this document. The "tests" described are standard engineering, biocompatibility, and sterilization validations for physical medical devices.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
Not applicable, as this is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML device. The testing described is bench testing and biocompatibility assessments, not a study involving patient data or a specific test set in the AI/ML context.
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)
Not applicable, as this is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML device. Ground truth as typically defined for AI/ML models is not relevant here.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable, as this is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML device.
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, as this is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable, as this is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable, as this is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML device. Instead of "ground truth," the device relies on conformance to established international and national standards (ISO, ASTM, USP) and predefined acceptance criteria for various physical, chemical, and biological tests.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable, as this is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as this is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML device.

STERILITY, PACKAGING AND SHELF-LIFE:
Sterilization process was established per ISO 11137-1: 2006 Sterilization of health care products - Radiation - Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices; the devices are sterilized via radiation with a minimum Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 106. The Minimum Sterilizing Dose (MSD) required to provide a 10° SAL for the bioburden (sub) categories was established and validated as per ISO 11137-2: 2013 Sterilization of health care products - Radiation - Part 2: Establishing the sterilization dose, Method 1. The continued validity of the MSD for these bioburden (sub) categories is confirmed via periodic dose audit studies. In addition, routine periodic pre-sterilization bioburden testing is performed for each (sub) category. Package verification testing was performed on the representative devices is in accordance with ISO 11607-1: 2019 Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems (Simulated Distribution performed per ASTM D4169-22 Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems) and included the following inspections to verify sterile barrier packaging requirements were met: visual (ASTM F1886 Standard Test Method for Determining Integrity of Seals for Flexible Packaging by Visual Inspection), seal strength (ASTM F88 Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials), and bubble test (ASTM F2096-11 Standard Test Method for Detecting Gross Leaks in Packaging by Internal Pressurization (Bubble Test). The products have a 2-year shelf-life that is confirmed via accelerated aging executed via ASTM F1980-21 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems and Medical Devices.
CONCLUSION:
The non-clinical data demonstrates that the subject devices are substantially equivalent and perform comparably to the predicate devices that are legally marketed for the same intended use and no new questions of clinical safety and effectiveness was raised.
