    AI/ML Overview

    The document provides information on the performance of several types of surgical gloves when tested for resistance to permeation by chemotherapy drugs. The acceptance criteria and the study method are based on ASTM D6978 Standard Practice for Assessment of Resistance of Medical Gloves to Permeation by Chemotherapy Drugs.

    Here's the breakdown:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    The implicit acceptance criterion for these gloves, based on the Breakthrough detection time values and the common understanding in such tests, is that the gloves should demonstrate resistance to permeation by chemotherapy drugs for a reasonable duration (e.g., as long as possible, or at least a certain minimum time). While a specific "pass/fail" threshold is not explicitly stated as an acceptance criterion in minutes, the values of ">240 minutes" indicate excellent performance for most drugs. The lower values for Carmustine and Thiotepa highlight instances where permeation occurs more quickly.

    The reported device performance for each glove type and chemotherapy drug is provided in the tables across the document. Below is a summary table combining this information as an example, for "Biogel Eclipse Natural Rubber Latex Surgical Gloves tested for use with chemotherapy agents" (from page 3):

    Drug and ConcentrationAcceptance Criteria (Breakthrough Detection Time - implicit goal)Reported Device Performance (Breakthrough detection time in minutes (0.01µg/cm²/mins))
    Bleomycin 15 mg/mlAs long as possible, ideally >240 minutes>240

    Vincristine Sulfate 1 mg/mlAs long as possible, ideally >240 minutes>240

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

    The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the test set (number of gloves tested per drug type). It only reports the breakthrough detection time.
    The data provenance is from testing conducted in accordance with ASTM D6978 Standard Practice for Assessment of Resistance of Medical Gloves to Permeation by Chemotherapy Drugs. This is a standardized, laboratory-based prospective testing methodology. The country of origin of the data is not specified, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:

    This type of study (chemical permeation testing of medical devices) does not typically involve human expert adjudication in the same way, for example, a diagnostic image interpretation study would. The "ground truth" is established by the objective, quantitative measurement of chemical permeation according to the specified ASTM standard. Therefore, there are no "experts" in the sense of clinical reviewers establishing a ground truth.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    Not applicable. As described above, this is a laboratory test with objective measurements, not a human interpretation task requiring adjudication.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

    Not applicable. This is a standalone performance test of a physical device against chemical permeation, not an AI-assisted diagnostic task involving human readers.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:

    This entire study is a standalone performance assessment of a physical device. There is no "algorithm" or "human-in-the-loop" concept involved. The performance is the intrinsic resistance of the glove material to chemical permeation.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    The ground truth used is based on objective, quantitative measurements of chemical permeation using analytical methods specified or implied by the ASTM D6978 standard. The "Breakthrough detection time" is the measured outcome, indicating the time at which a quantifiable amount of the chemotherapy drug permeates through the glove material.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    Not applicable. This is a direct performance test of a manufactured product, not a machine learning model. There is no "training set" in this context.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

    Not applicable. There is no training set for this type of device performance study.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    The document refers to "studies" for biocompatibility and performance, but does not specify sample sizes for these tests. The data provenance is implied to be from testing conducted by or for the manufacturer, Mölnlycke Health Care US, LLC. The testing is described as "non-clinical," meaning it does not involve human subjects in a clinical setting when assessing device performance characteristics.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    This information is not applicable as the document describes the testing of a physical medical device (surgical gloves), not an AI/ML device requiring expert ground truth establishment for algorithm performance.

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

    This information is not applicable as the document describes the testing of a physical medical device (surgical gloves), not an AI/ML device requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.

    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:

    This information is not applicable as the document describes the testing of a physical medical device (surgical gloves), not an AI/ML device. "Clinical data was not required" for this submission.

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

    This information is not applicable as the document describes the testing of a physical medical device (surgical gloves), not an AI/ML device.

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

    The "ground truth" for the surgical gloves is established by their adherence to defined physical, chemical, and biological performance characteristics measured against industry standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO) and specific test methodologies (e.g., Modified Draize-95 Test).

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    This information is not applicable as the document describes the testing of a physical medical device (surgical gloves), not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

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

    This information is not applicable as the document describes the testing of a physical medical device (surgical gloves), not an AI/ML device that requires a training set and corresponding ground truth.

    In summary, the provided FDA 510(k) summary is for a traditional Class I medical device (surgical gloves) and therefore does not contain the information typically associated with the validation of an AI/ML-driven device.

    Device Description

    The subject of this premarket notification are line additions to the Avance NPWT System: the Avance Gauze Dressing Kits. The subject kits consist of the following components:

    • Antimicrobial gauze dressing
    • Avance Transparent Film or Avance Film with Safetac technology
    • Avance ViewPad
    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for "Avance Gauze Dressing Kits," which are line additions to an existing Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. Therefore, the information typically associated with a study proving a device meets acceptance criteria (like detailed performance metrics, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment) is not fully present in the document in the format you've requested for an AI model.

    However, I can extract the relevant information regarding acceptance criteria and general statements about testing from the provided text:

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

    The document states that "all predefined acceptance criteria were met" for the bench testing. However, the specific quantitative acceptance criteria are not detailed in this summary.

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
    BiocompatibilityMet (in accordance with ISO 10993)
    Fluid Transport EfficiencyPerformed as intended; did not negatively affect the ability of the NPWT system to transport fluid away from the wound.
    Pressure DeliveryPerformed as intended; pressure delivered in an acceptable manner.

    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 specify the sample sizes used for the bench testing. No clinical data was required or submitted, so there is no information on data provenance relating to clinical studies. The testing described is "non-clinical bench testing."

    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 information is not applicable and not provided. The testing described is bench testing, which typically relies on established engineering and materials science principles, not expert human assessment of images or patient data to establish ground truth.

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

    This information is not applicable and not provided. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies or studies involving human readers, which this submission did not include.

    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 MRMC study was done. This device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool; it is a medical dressing kit for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.

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

    This is not applicable as the device is not an algorithm or AI. The bench testing performed would be considered "standalone" in the sense that it evaluated the device's physical performance independently.

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

    For biocompatibility, the ground truth would be established by the requirements of ISO 10993. For fluid transport and pressure delivery, the ground truth would be engineering specifications and functional parameters for NPWT systems, where "as intended" means meeting these predefined technical requirements.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    Not applicable. This document describes a medical device (dressing kits) and its non-clinical bench testing, not an AI or machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.

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

    Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device submission.

    Intended Use

    The Avance NPWT system, with associated products, are indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device (negative pressure wound therapy), as it may promote wound healing via the removal of fluids, including irrigation and body fluids, wound exudate and infectious materials. Examples of appropriate wound types include: chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute and dehisced wounds, ulcers (such as pressure or diabetic), partial-thickness bums, flaps and grafts.

    Device Description

    The subject Avance Tubing serves as the connecting link between the Avance NPWT pump and the Avance dressings, thereby delivering negative pressure wound therapy from the pump to the wound bed and facilitating the transport of fluid and exudate from the wound site to the canister. It consists of a 1.5 m length of tubing with connectors on each end to facilitate connection to other components of the Avance NPWT System.

    The subject Avance Y-Connector allows connection of multiple Avance dressings to one Avance pump in order to accommodate large or multiple wounds. It consists of y-tubing with connectors on all ends to facilitate connection to other components of the Avance NPWT System. A maximum of one Avance Y-Connector may be used to connect up to two large dressing kits to a single pump.

    The subject Avance ViewPad used in conjunction with the Avance dressings; it is placed on top of the wound cover (film), connected to the wound filler via a hole cut in the wound cover, and then connected to the Avance NPWT pump tubing for delivery of NPWT and transport of fluids and exudate away from the wound. The subject Avance ViewPad is similar to the existing ViewPad component of the Avance Foam Dressing Kits (K141847), with the exception of a green colorant that has been added to the connector and a modification to the design of the slide clamp.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the premarket notification for Avance Tubing, Avance Y-Connector, and Avance ViewPad, which are components of a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system.

In bench testing, performance is measured objectively against predefined engineering specifications.

    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:

    This information is not applicable. The submission is for components of a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy system, which are physical medical devices, not an AI or computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system. Therefore, MRMC studies and the concept of "human readers improving with AI assistance" are irrelevant to this device.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:

    This information is not applicable as the submitted devices are physical medical device components, not an algorithm or AI system.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing was based on predefined engineering specifications, industry standards (e.g., ISO 10993 for biocompatibility), and functional performance requirements. These requirements dictated that the device should:

    • Not negatively affect fluid transport.
    • Deliver pressure according to pump settings.
    • Maintain alarm functionality.
    • Meet biocompatibility criteria (non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, non-irritating).

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    This information is not applicable. The tested devices are physical components, not machine learning algorithms that require training data.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

    This information is not applicable as there is no training set for these physical devices.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The studies mentioned are described as "in vitro and in vivo methods," which typically refer to laboratory and animal studies, not human clinical trials in this 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)

    This information is not provided in the document. Ground truth as typically understood in AI/imaging studies (e.g., expert consensus on image interpretation) is not relevant for the types of in vitro and in vivo safety/effectiveness studies mentioned in this 510(k) summary.

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

    This information is not provided in the document, as it's not applicable to the types of studies described (laboratory and animal studies for safety and effectiveness).

    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

    A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned and is not applicable to an antimicrobial gelling fibre dressing. The document explicitly states "No clinical data was required to support substantial equivalence."

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

    This concept is not applicable to a medical device like a wound dressing. This device does not involve an algorithm or AI.

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

    For the mentioned studies:

    • Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Sensitization: Likely based on standardized biological assay results (e.g., cell viability, skin reactions) compared against established safety thresholds.

    Intended Use

    Mepiseal is intended to be used on periwound skin in conjunction with a wound dressing to prevent leakage and premature loosening of the dressing. It is designed to fill uneven skin surfaces and mold around wounds in challenging anatomical locations. When used under NPWT dressings, Mepiseal serves as a sealant to help create and maintain a seal, which enables delivery of effective negative pressure wound therapy.

    When used under NPWT dressings to aid in seal formation, Mepiseal is compatible with the Avance Dressing Kits that include Avance Film with Safetac Technology and Avance Transparent Film.

    Device Description

    The subject device is a soft silicone sealant intended to be used on periwound skin in conjunction with a wound dressing and is designed to fill uneven skin surfaces and mold around wounds in challenging anatomical locations. Mepiseal serves the same function as the soft silicone layer of any wound dressing, to maintain the seal of the dressing around the wound. It is considered an accessory to the wound dressing and can be used under conventional wound dressings and under Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) dressings.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Mepiseal Soft Silicone Sealant. It describes the device, its intended use, and its comparison to predicate devices, but does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of typical AI/ML device performance.

    The "Performance Data" section states: "Bench testing has been performed to demonstrate that Mepiseal is capable of sealing air leaks in the Avance NPWT system and does not otherwise interfere with the system's ability to transport fluid away from the wound. Mepiseal's performance has been evaluated under both soft silicone films and acrylic films (Avance Film with Safetac Technology and Avance Transparent Film) and found to be acceptable."

    This indicates functional testing of the sealing ability and compatibility with an NPWT system, not a study assessing diagnostic performance (like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC) which would be typical for an AI/ML device. Therefore, I cannot provide details for most of your requested points, as they are not applicable to the type of device described (a silicone sealant) or the type of data presented (bench testing for physical functionality).

    However, I can extract the following:

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

    Based on the provided text, the acceptance criteria implicitly relate to the device's ability to create and maintain a seal for negative pressure wound therapy systems and not interfere with fluid transport. The "reported device performance" is a qualitative statement of meeting these criteria.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Capable of sealing air leaks in the Avance NPWT system."Mepiseal is capable of sealing air leaks in the Avance NPWT system."
    Does not interfere with the Avance NPWT system's ability to transport fluid away from the wound."Mepiseal... does not otherwise interfere with the system's ability to transport fluid away from the wound."
    Performance is acceptable under both soft silicone films (Avance Film with Safetac Technology) and acrylic films (Avance Transparent Film)."Mepiseal's performance has been evaluated under both soft silicone films and acrylic films (Avance Film with Safetac Technology and Avance Transparent Film) and found to be acceptable."

    2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. This was bench testing, not a clinical study or AI/ML performance evaluation test set with patient data.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for an AI/ML system or diagnostic accuracy was not established.

    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 is not an AI/ML device or a diagnostic device where human reader improvement would be measured.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable. The "ground truth" here would be the physical principles of sealing and fluid transport, verified through bench test measurements.

    8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. There is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm.

    In summary, the provided document describes a medical device (a silicone sealant) and its associated bench testing results for a 510(k) submission, not an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding AI/ML performance studies (e.g., sample sizes for training/test sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies) is not present and not relevant to this specific premarket notification.

    Intended Use

    Avance Y-connector S is intended for use in the Avance Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system, to connect and allow therapy of multiple wounds simultaneously by using one pump. The Avance NPWT system, with associated products are indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device (negative pressure wound therapy), as it may promote wound healing via the removal of fluids, including irrigation and body fluids, wound exudate and infectious materials. Examples of appropriate wound types include: chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute and dehisced wounds, ulcers (such as pressure or diabetic), partial-thickness burns, flaps and grafts.

    Device Description

    The subject of this submission is the Avance® Y-Connector S, which is an accessory to the Avance® Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System. It allows connection of multiple dressing kits to one pump in order to accommodate large or multiple wounds. We have classified this device as Class II as it is directly indicated for use with an NPWT Pump which falls under that classification, and the Avance® Y-Connector S forms an integral part of the overall system when multiple wound sites require therapy.

    The Avance® Y-connector S is a polyurethane/polypropylene based single lumen Yconnector. It is designed to function with existing Avance® NPWT pumps and dressing kits by connecting the Avance® Canister Tubing to two single lumen transfer pads which are applied to the Avance® Foam dressings. Use of the Avance® Y-Connector S allows therapy and transportation of exudate from more than one wound simultaneously using one pump. A maximum of two Avance® Y-Connector S devices may be used to connect three wounds to one pump.

    AI/ML Overview

    The Molnlycke Health Care Avance® Y-Connector S is an accessory to a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system, allowing connection of multiple dressing kits to one pump for simultaneous treatment of large or multiple wounds. The provided documentation primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and presents performance data from internal testing.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria (Implicit for a Y-Connector in an NPWT System)Reported Device Performance (Avance® Y-Connector S)
    Biocompatibility: Non-cytotoxic, non-irritant, non-sensitizing.Cytotoxicity: Not cytotoxic (ISO 10993-5).
    Primary Skin Irritation: Not irritants (ISO 10993-10).
    ISO Closed Patch Sensitization: Not sensitizers (ISO 10993-10).
    NPWT Functionality: Ability to maintain fluid transport adequately when connecting multiple wound models to a single pump.NPWT Functionality: Fluid handling properties of the Avance® NPWT System (including Y-Connector S) are sufficient to accommodate the exudate flow rate from large exuding wounds.
    Maintenance of system integrity (e.g., no leaks, proper suction).Implied to be met as part of "NPWT Functionality" and equivalence to predicate devices. No specific quantitative criteria provided.

    2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of devices or test units. The "NPWT Functionality" test involved a "test setup included the use of the Avance® Y-Connector S to connect multiple wound models," suggesting a laboratory-based, non-clinical evaluation.
    • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted internally by Molnlycke Health Care ("internal Mölnlycke test method"). This indicates the data is from the manufacturer's own product development and validation processes. No country of origin is specified for the data itself, but the applicant is Molnlycke Health Care US, LLC. The studies are by nature retrospective as they were conducted to support a 510(k) submission for an already developed device.

    3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

    • Not applicable. The studies described are primarily benchtop (biocompatibility and functional performance) and do not involve human interpretation or subjective assessment that would require expert ground truth establishment in the way, for example, a diagnostic AI device would.

    4. Adjudication Method for Test Set

    • Not applicable. There was no human interpretation or subjective assessment that would require adjudication.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for medical imaging AI or diagnostic AI tools where human readers’ diagnostic accuracy or efficiency is being evaluated with and without AI assistance. The Avance® Y-Connector S is a physical accessory for a medical device and its performance is evaluated through material and functional testing, not through human reader performance.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance Study

    • Yes, a standalone study was performed in the context of device functionality. The "NPWT Functionality" test and biocompatibility tests assess the device's inherent physical and functional properties without human intervention being part of its core performance mechanism. The device itself (the Y-connector) does not have an "algorithm" in the conventional sense of an AI/software device. Its performance is assessed as a standalone physical component within a system.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Biocompatibility: Ground truth was established by adherence to recognized international standards (ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10) for evaluating biological responses to medical devices.
    • NPWT Functionality: Ground truth was based on an "internal Mölnlycke test method for fluid transport in NPWT," which likely defines objective criteria for what constitutes sufficient fluid transport. This would involve measurable parameters such as flow rate, pressure maintenance, and absence of leaks, against predefined thresholds.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Not applicable. This device is a physical accessory, not a software or AI algorithm that requires a training set.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    • Not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth to establish for it.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

    The document specifies standards and tests (e.g., ISO 10993-10, ASTM D3577, ASTM D5151, ASTM D6124) were used to demonstrate performance. However, the specific sample sizes used for each test are not explicitly stated within this document. The data provenance is also not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

    This section is not applicable as the document describes performance testing based on engineering and material science standards (e.g., biocompatibility testing, physical properties, freedom from holes, powder residual), not on subjective expert assessment of an AI's output.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    This section is not applicable for the same reasons as #3. The performance is objectively measured against established standards.

    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

    This section is not applicable. This document describes a medical device (surgical glove) that functions as a physical barrier. It is not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool, therefore, MRMC studies involving human readers or AI assistance are irrelevant.

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

    This section is not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm. The performance tests evaluate the glove itself.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    The ground truth for the performance evaluations are established by widely accepted international and national standards for medical devices and surgical gloves. Specifically:

    • Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-10
    • Dimensions & Physical Properties: ASTM D3577
    • Freedom from holes: 21 CFR 800.20 and ASTM D3577, tested according to ASTM D5151
    • Powder residual: ASTM D3577, tested using ASTM standard D6124

    These standards define the acceptable range or threshold for each characteristic.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This section is not applicable. This is a physical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."

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

    This section is not applicable for the same reasons as #8.
