The container is intended for use in healthcare settings. The container is designed to safely contain sharps prior to removal from the generating facility, during transportation and until ultimate treatment and disposal of the sharps.
The Sharpsology 2 is a reusable plastic sharps disposal container. The container is a nonsterile device for nonsterile applications. The container is intended to be used in an appropriate wall mount unit, wall bracket or stand alone tray. It features a canteen style, vertical drop lid and a mailbox style, vertical drop lid for safe and easy disposal of sharps. Simply deposit syringes vertically into the opening of the lid, and they are deposited automatically into the container. Container is easily identified as full by looking at both the fill line on the container and biohazard label attached to container. When the canteen style lid is being used and the container is full, the supplied cap is attached to the lid by turning clockwise until it snaps into place for transport. When using the mailbox style lid and the container is full, pull the rotating portion of lid forward and snap lock the rotating portion into the two locking tabs located on the front of the lid. The Sharpsology 2 has a hole in one end of the lid and container that match, a plastic cable wire tie is inserted to look the lid to the container for transportation. Then just replace it with a clean sanitized unit, Using proper cleaning and sterilizing equipment, cleaning facility will empty and sanitize the unit and return it to the user facility to use for the next switch out. The durable high-density polypropylene specialty impact copolymer construction of the Sharpsology 2 makes it leak resistant, puncture resistant and stable. It meets or exceeds all OSHA recommendations for sharps containers, and because it is reusable, it is more environmentally friendly and less expensive than disposable alternatives. The projected life expectancy of the device is at least (5) five years. Other sharps containers using the same material for the same purpose have remained in use over (5) five years without showing failure. The container is intended to be used in healthcare settings. The container is designed to safely contain sharps prior to removal from the generating facility, during transportation and until ultimate treatment and disposal of the sharps.
The Sharpsology 2 container is inserted into a wall mount unit available from Industrial Water Solutions, Inc. that is lockable and allows access to the opening of the lid of the Sharpsology 2 container for needle disposal. Healthcare personnel drop used sharps into the opening of the lid of the container, Sharps drop to the bottom of the container. When the container is full or up to the "Fill Line" of the container, the container is then taken out of the wall mount or bracket on the wall. The label on the container has very visible "Fill Line" imprinted on the outside. The container also has a very visible fill line, as well. A new container or one that has been sanitized for reuse is then put back into the wall mount or bracket for use. The container is then ready for transport to the cleaning facility for sanitation.
A label will be attached to the container specifying the intended use of the container. A sample of this label is attached at the end of this document. (See Attachment 1)
The Sharpsology 2 container is a reusable two gallon sharps container used for the collection of sharps at the healthcare facility. The container is housed in a wall mount or bracket attached to the wall. Healthcare personnel simply drop used sharps into the vertical drop opening on top of the lid and release. The used sharps deposited into the container and drop to the bottom of the container. The container is used until it is deemed to be full by visually inspecting to see if the sharps level is up to the "Fill Line". Once the container is deemed to be full, it is then removed from the wall mount or bracket and gotten ready for transport. A new container or a used, sanitized container is then placed in the wall mount or bracket for use, The Sharpsology 2 container has no handles, but is easily picked up by placing hands on either side of the container and lifting. The average weight of the container plus sharps inside a full container will average five and seven pounds. The used or full containers are then transported to the cleaning and sanitizing facility for sanitation, inspection, packaging, and made ready for reuse. The container is lockable. Each container has a bayonet style lid closure that horizontally slides into place and is removed mechanically for emptying and cleaning. The lid features a wire tie to further help hold the lid in place.

A powder-free examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes, that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. Gloves are available with finger textured surface in four sizes; Small, Medium, Large and X-large.
Midas TouchTM - Nitrile Examination Gloves - Powder free, Green
This is a 510(k) premarket notification for "Midas Touch 191 - Nitrile Examination Gloves - Powder Free. Green." This document does not describe a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the manner that a medical imaging AI or diagnostic device would. Instead, it is an FDA clearance letter based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
Therefore, many of the requested items (sample sizes, expert qualifications, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training data, etc.) are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission.
However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the device and its indications for use.
Here's a breakdown of the available information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
For examination gloves, the "acceptance criteria" are typically defined by recognized consensus standards, which include physical properties and barrier integrity. The FDA letter indicates that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, implying it meets the relevant performance standards for patient examination gloves. However, the specific performance data against these standards are not included in this clearance letter. This letter is the outcome of the review, not the detailed submission itself.
| Acceptance Criteria (General for Examination Gloves) | Reported Device Performance (Implied by Substantial Equivalence) |
|---|---|
| Barrier integrity (e.g., freedom from pinholes) | Meets relevant industry standards (e.g., ASTM D6319) |
| Physical properties (e.g., tensile strength, elongation) | Meets relevant industry standards (e.g., ASTM D6319) |
| Biocompatibility | Meets relevant industry standards |
| Powder-free status | Confirmed (device name specifies "Powder Free") |
| Sizing (Small, Medium, Large, X-large) | Available in these sizes |
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. This is not a study involving a test set of data in the context of an AI or diagnostic device. The clearance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which typically involves testing the physical properties of the glove according to recognized standards. The sample sizes for these physical tests would be defined by the specific test methods (e.g., ASTM standards) but are not detailed in this clearance letter.
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 above, there is no "ground truth" establishment in the context of image interpretation or diagnosis for this type of device. The quality and performance of the gloves are assessed through standardized physical and chemical tests, not expert consensus on medical images.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable.
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 or diagnostic tool that assists human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" for examination gloves typically refers to the objective measurements of their physical and barrier properties against established, internationally recognized standards (e.g., ASTM D6319 for Nitrile Examination Gloves). These standards define acceptable performance ranges for attributes like tensile strength, elongation, and freedom from holes.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI or machine learning device; therefore, there is no training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable.

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for "Midas Touch™ Nitrile Examination Gloves - Powder-Free, Orange." This document is a regulatory submission for a medical device and does not contain information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the format typically found for AI/ML-based medical devices.
Instead, this document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which is a regulatory pathway for lower-risk medical devices like gloves. It confirms that the device is intended for medical purposes, to be worn on the hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and study details as they would apply to an AI/ML device, as this document pertains to a physical medical device (gloves).
Here's why the requested information categories are not applicable to the provided document:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This document doesn't provide performance metrics in the way an AI/ML study would (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). For gloves, performance criteria would typically involve barrier integrity (e.g., AQL for pinholes), tensile strength, elongation, etc., which are not detailed here beyond the general claim of being "powder-free" and available in sizes.
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. There's no "test set" of data in the context of an AI/ML algorithm.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth... and qualifications: Not applicable. Ground truth, in the AI/ML sense, is not established for gloves.
- Adjudication method: Not applicable.
- Multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: Not applicable. This is for evaluating changes in human reader performance with AI assistance, which doesn't apply to examination gloves.
- Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance): Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm.
- The type of ground truth used: Not applicable.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There's no AI model to train.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In summary, the provided document is a regulatory approval for examination gloves and does not contain the kind of study data requested for AI/ML device performance.

Not Found
This document describes the 510(k) premarket notification for "Midas Touch™ - Nitrile Examination Gloves - Powder Free, Grey." The FDA has determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
Here's an analysis of the provided information regarding acceptance criteria and supporting studies:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in the format typically seen for complex medical devices with quantitative diagnostic or performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy).
However, for patient examination gloves, the primary acceptance criteria revolve around meeting established ASTM standards for physical properties and barrier integrity. The "Premarket Notification (510k) Summary" (which is typically part of an FDA submission but not fully contained in the provided letter and Indications for Use) would detail these.
Based on the context of FDA substantial equivalence for examination gloves, the implied acceptance criteria are that the Midas Touch™ gloves meet the relevant ASTM standards. The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" would be the testing conducted by the manufacturer according to these standards.
Here's a hypothetical table based on typical glove testing for a 510(k) submission, as these are the "performance" aspects a glove device would need to demonstrate:
| Acceptance Criteria (Typically ASTM Standards) | Reported Device Performance (Implied) |
|---|---|
| Physical Properties | |
| Tensile Strength (before and after aging) | Met/Exceeded ASTM D412, D573 values |
| Elongation (before and after aging) | Met/Exceeded ASTM D412, D573 values |
| Barrier Integrity | |
| Freedom from Holes (AQL 2.5) | Met/Exceeded ASTM D5151 (e.g., AQL 1.5) |
| Biocompatibility | |
| Primary Skin Irritation | Passed ASTM F719, ISO 10993-10 |
| Dermal Sensitization | Passed ASTM F720, ISO 10993-10 |
| Powder Residue (for powder-free gloves) | Met/Exceeded ASTM D6124 |
| Labeling Requirements | |
| Indications for Use | As stated in the document |
| Material Statement | As stated in the document |
Note: The specific ASTM standards and target values would be detailed in the applicant's 510(k) submission. This table is illustrative of the types of criteria and performance typically required for examination gloves.
The "Study That Proves the Device Meets the Acceptance Criteria":
The "study" confirming the device meets the acceptance criteria would be a series of bench tests and laboratory assays conducted by the manufacturer, Industrial Clothings Limited, Prime Polymers Division. These tests would involve:
- Physical Property Testing: Measuring tensile strength and elongation using methods like ASTM D412 (Standard Test Methods for Vulcanized Rubber and Thermoplastic Elastomers—Tension) and ASTM D573 (Standard Test Method for Rubber—Deterioration in an Air Oven). These tests would be performed on samples of the finished gloves, both before and after accelerated aging to simulate shelf life.
- Barrier Integrity Testing: Primarily through the water leak test according to ASTM D5151 (Standard Test Method for Detection of Holes in Medical Gloves). This involves filling gloves with water and observing for leaks within a specified time, and reporting results based on Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL). An AQL of 2.5 is common for examination gloves, meaning a certain percentage of defects is acceptable. The applicant likely tested to an AQL of 1.5 as is commonly done.
- Biocompatibility Testing: Performing dermal irritation and sensitization tests on Guinea pigs (or other suitable models) according to standards like ASTM F719/F720 or ISO 10993-10 (Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization).
- Powder Residue Testing: For powder-free gloves, testing according to ASTM D6124 (Standard Test Method for Residual Powder on Medical Gloves) to ensure powder levels are below the specified maximum.
2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Sizes: The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each test. These details would be contained within the engineering and testing reports submitted as part of the 510(k). For glove testing:
- For physical properties, sample sizes are usually quite small (e.g., 5-10 gloves per batch per test condition).
- For the water leak test (AQL testing), sample sizes are determined by statistical sampling plans based on the batch size, as outlined in ASTM D5151 (e.g., ANSI/ASQ Z1.4). For a large batch, this could be hundreds of gloves.
- For biocompatibility, sample sizes are typically defined by regulatory toxicology guidelines (e.g., 3-5 animals per test group for irritation/sensitization).
- Data Provenance: The manufacturing entity is Industrial Clothings Limited, Prime Polymers Division, located in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the testing data would originate from their facilities or contracted testing laboratories, likely in Sri Lanka or elsewhere as required by testing standards. The data would be prospective as it's generated specifically for the 510(k) submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This question is not directly applicable in the context of examination gloves. "Ground truth" (in the sense of expert consensus on diagnostic findings) is relevant for diagnostic imaging or AI algorithms. For a physical device like a glove, the "ground truth" is established by adherence to universally accepted engineering and material science standards (e.g., tensile strength values in ASTM, AQL limits in D5151). The "experts" would be the testing technicians, quality engineers, and regulatory specialists who conduct and verify the adherence to these standards. Their qualifications would be expertise in materials testing, quality control, and relevant ASTM/ISO standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods (2+1, 3+1) are used for resolving disagreements among multiple human readers on diagnostic tasks, typically in AI/imaging studies. For physical device performance, tests yield objective quantitative or pass/fail results, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
Not applicable. MRMC studies compare the performance of human readers (with or without AI assistance) on diagnostic cases. This device is a disposable medical glove, not a diagnostic AI system.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (glove), not an algorithm or AI system.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
As mentioned, "ground truth" for this device is based on established engineering and material science standards (e.g., ASTM standards) rather than pathology, outcomes data, or expert consensus on clinical findings. For example:
- The "ground truth" for tensile strength is the minimum value specified in the relevant ASTM standard.
- The "ground truth" for barrier integrity is the AQL level specified in ASTM D5151.
- The "ground truth" for biocompatibility is the absence of a significant irritative or sensitizing response according to recognized toxicology protocols.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device does not use a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. The term "training set" refers to data used to train an algorithm. For a physical device, the equivalent concept might be the data from process validation runs or initial manufacturing batches used to optimize the production process, but this is distinct from an AI training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

The LucentLite Laser is intended for use in surgical and aesthetic applications requiring selective photothermolysis of target chromophores in soft tissue in the medical specialties of general and plastic surgery and dermatology:
1064 nm:
- To effect stable long-term, or permanent* hair reduction through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles.
- For the removal of unwanted hair.
- For coagulation and hemostasis of vascular lesions.
- For Incision/excision of soft body tissues in dermatology.
- For soft tissue general surgery applications: skin incision; tissue dissection; excision of external turnors and lesions; complete or partial resection of internal organs, tumors, lesions; tissue ablation; vessel coagulation.
- Permanent hair reduction is defined as a long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing after treatment regimen.
1320 nm:
- For the treatment of periorbital and perioral wrinkles.
The LucentLite Laser is comprised of the following main components:
- Console (including laser, electronics, cooling system, and software);
- Control panel;
- Permanently attached fiberoptic-coupled handpiece;
- Skin cooling device;
- Foot pedal;
- Remote interlock connector.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the LucentLite Laser, a medical device. This document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than providing detailed clinical study results with acceptance criteria and specific performance metrics for the LucentLite device itself.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study methodologies, sample sizes, and ground truth establishment cannot be found in this document. The 510(k) process for this type of device typically relies on demonstrating that the new device has the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, and raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness as a legally marketed predicate device, rather than requiring extensive de novo clinical trials with predefined acceptance criteria.
Here's the information that can be extracted or inferred based on the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Based on the provided 510(k) summary, specific acceptance criteria and detailed device performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or quantitative measurements for efficacy) are not reported. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, implying that the device achieves performance comparable to those predicates for its stated indications for use.
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Not specified in this document. No explicit quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria (e.g., "achieve X% hair reduction in Y% of patients" or "achieve Z lesion clearance") are provided. | Not specified in this document. No quantitative performance results (e.g. from clinical trials showing efficacy percentages) are provided. The document generally states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices for its intended uses. |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
Not provided. The document does not describe a "test set" in the context of an evaluative study with specific performance metrics. The 510(k) summary relies on comparison to predicate devices, not on a new clinical study with a specified test set patient cohort.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable/Not provided. Since no specific test set and associated ground truth establishment process are described, this information is not available.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable/Not provided. Since no specific test set and associated ground truth establishment process are described, this information is not available.
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
No. This document describes a laser surgical instrument, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretive system. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance is not applicable and was not performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a laser surgical instrument, not an algorithm. Therefore, "standalone" algorithm performance is not relevant.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable/Not provided. As there's no described new clinical study with a test set, the concept of "ground truth" for a new dataset is not discussed. The device's safety and effectiveness are established by demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, for which the "truth" of their efficacy would have been established through a combination of scientific understanding, previous clinical data, and regulatory clearance.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable/Not provided. This document does not describe a machine learning algorithm or a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable/Not provided. This document does not describe a machine learning algorithm or a "training set."
Summary of what the document does provide:
- Device Name: LucentLite Laser
- Intended Use: Surgical and aesthetic applications requiring selective photothermolysis of target chromophores in soft tissue in general and plastic surgery and dermatology. Specific indications for 1064 nm (hair reduction, vascular lesions, incision/excision of soft tissue) and 1320 nm (treatment of periorbital and perioral wrinkles).
- Predicate Devices:
- Rationale for Substantial Equivalence: The LucentLite Laser shares the same general indications for use, similar design features, and functional features as the predicate devices. The technological differences do not raise any new issues of safety, effectiveness, or performance.
