AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the TERANG NUSA Sdn Bhd SENSIFLEX Powderfree Latex Examination Glove. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria based on algorithm performance.

Therefore, many of the requested sections regarding algorithm performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment are not applicable.

Here's an attempt to answer the applicable sections based only on the provided text, and indicating where information is not available or not applicable:

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

The acceptance criteria for the SENSIFLEX Powderfree Latex Examination Glove are based on meeting the requirements of specific ASTM standards.

Acceptance Criteria (Standard)Reported Device Performance
ASTM D3578Product meets requirements
ASTM D512Product meets requirements
Primary Skin irritation test ASTM F 719-81Indicates no irritation
Dermal sensitization Test ASTM F 720-81 (86)Indicates no sensitization
Starch-free status (Iodine test)Final product is iodine tested for starch free status. (Implies meeting requirement)

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified in the provided text. The tests are general performance tests, not clinical studies with a defined patient test set.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified in the provided text. The manufacturing company is in Malaysia, but the testing location/origin is not stated. The tests are non-clinical, laboratory-based tests.
  • Retrospective/Prospective: Not applicable as these are non-clinical product performance tests, not patient studies.

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. Ground truth and expert consensus are not relevant for these types of device performance tests (e.g., tensile strength, sensitivity to irritation). The "ground truth" is defined by the passing criteria of the ASTM standards.

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

Not applicable. Adjudication methods are used in clinical studies, particularly with human readers or AI. These are product performance tests.

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 an examination glove, not an AI diagnostic tool. No MRMC study was performed.

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

Not applicable. This device is an examination glove, not an algorithm.

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

The "ground truth" for these tests is the quantitative and qualitative criteria defined by the specified ASTM (American Standard for Testing and Material) standards for examination gloves and biocompatibility tests. For example, for physical properties like tensile strength, the standard specifies acceptable ranges. For skin irritation/sensitization, the "ground truth" is the observation of no irritation/sensitization.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

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

Not applicable. There is no "training set" and therefore no ground truth established for one.
