The provided text describes premarket notification for biological indicators and doesn't involve an AI/ML powered medical device. Therefore, many of the requested criteria, such as "multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study" or "number of experts used to establish ground truth", which are specific to AI/ML powered devices, are not applicable here.

However, I can extract information related to the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets those criteria, as much as applicable for a non-AI medical device.

Device: Celerity 5 HP Biological Indicator (LCB052) & Challenge Pack (LCB059), and Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicator (LCB044) & Challenge Pack (LCB045)

Type of Device: Sterilization Process Indicator (Biological Indicator - BI). These devices contain a specific type of spore (Geobacillus stearothermophilus) and media to confirm the effectiveness of a sterilization process. A positive result (fluorescent signal) indicates sterilization failure, while a negative result indicates successful sterilization.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria and results are provided for two distinct product lines: Celerity 5 HP and Celerity 20 HP. Note that the "Result" for all tests is simply "PASS", indicating that the criteria were met.

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

The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size (e.g., number of BIs or challenge packs) used for each specific test (Reduced Incubation Time, Simulated Use, Cap Media, Stability testing). It refers to "All BI lots" for Reduced Incubation Time and "All processed BIs" for Simulated Use, and implicitly "BIs" for Stability Testing. This suggests a statistically relevant number of units from manufactured lots were tested.

• Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. Given the "U.S. Food & Drug Administration" letterhead and the manufacturer's address in Ohio, USA, it is highly likely that the testing was conducted in the US.
• Retrospective or Prospective: The testing appears to be prospective as it's a pre-market submission to demonstrate the device meets performance criteria for clearance. Stability testing also inherently involves prospective observation over time.

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

This concept is not applicable to this type of device. The "ground truth" for a biological indicator is determined by the biological and chemical reactions themselves (i.e., presence or absence of viable spores, or a color change in the chemical indicator), not by human expert interpretation of images or data. The determination of "sterile" or "non-sterile" from a biological indicator is a direct, objective measurement.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As noted above, the results of biological indicators are typically objective and determined by the physical/chemical properties and reactions, not by subjective human interpretation requiring adjudication.

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 nor one that involves human "readers" interpreting medical images or data.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical, biological and chemical indicator device, not a software algorithm. The "Celerity Incubator" is an accessory that reads the fluorescent signal, it is not an AI algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for these devices is based on biological viability (presence or absence of viable Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores) for the biological indicator and chemical reaction (color change) for the chemical indicator, validated against recognized sterilization parameters (e.g., D-value, Survival Time, Kill Time). This is a direct measure of the effectiveness of the sterilization process.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. These are not AI/ML devices that require training sets. The "training" of these devices (i.e., their manufacturing and design) is based on established microbiological and sterilization science.

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

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm. The performance of these biological indicators relies on their inherent design and manufacturing quality, ensuring the spores exhibit the specified resistance characteristics and the media accurately detects their viability. This is established through rigorous quality control and adherence to relevant standards for biological indicators.

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for STERIS Corporation's Celerity 5 HP and Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicators and Challenge Packs. It details non-clinical tests conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a clinical study involving human readers or AI algorithms for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, many of the requested criteria, such as "Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance," "Number of experts used to establish the ground truth," "Adjudication method," "MRMC comparative effectiveness study," and "Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done," are not applicable to the information contained in this document. This document describes the performance of a physical medical device (Biological Indicator) intended to monitor sterilization cycles, not a software-based diagnostic tool or AI.

However, I can extract and present the relevant acceptance criteria and reported device performance from the provided tables.

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Study Details (Based on available information)

As noted, many elements of the request are not applicable as this document pertains to a physical biological indicator, not an AI or imaging diagnostic device.

1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: The document uses terms like "All BI lots" and refers to testing of the biological indicators themselves rather than a "test set" of patient data. Specific sample sizes for each non-clinical test are not explicitly stated in this summary. The data provenance is from non-clinical laboratory testing performed by STERIS Corporation. There is no indication of country of origin of data or whether it was retrospective/prospective in a clinical sense.

2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for biological indicators in sterilization involves laboratory-based microbiology (e.g., presence or absence of spore growth in controlled environments), not expert human interpretation like radiologists for images.

3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. This is a non-clinical device performance study, not a human reader study requiring adjudication.

4. 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-assisted diagnostic device.

5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is a physical biological indicator. The performance is assessed in a laboratory setting. The "Celerity Incubator" detects the fluorescent signal, but this is a device accessory, not an AI algorithm.

6. The type of ground truth used: The ground truth for the biological indicators is based on the viability of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores, determined by their ability to grow and produce a fluorescent signal (or lack thereof) under specific, controlled laboratory conditions after exposure to sterilization processes. This is a direct microbiological assessment.

7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is a physical device that undergoes performance testing, not a machine learning model requiring a training set.

8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. As above, there is no "training set" in the context of this device.

Device: Celerity 5 HP Biological Indicator and Celerity 5 HP Challenge Pack

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

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

The document primarily describes non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence. It does not provide specific sample sizes for "test sets" in the context of human-involved studies (e.g., retrospective or prospective patient data). The evaluation appears to be based on laboratory testing of the biological indicators themselves.

• Sample Size: Not specified in terms of number of "cases" or patient data points. The tests likely involved multiple units of the biological indicator and challenge pack.
• Data Provenance: The studies are non-clinical, likely conducted in a laboratory setting by the manufacturer (STERIS Corporation). Therefore, there is no country of origin of patient data, nor is it retrospective or prospective in the medical imaging sense.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

Not applicable. The "ground truth" for a biological indicator is based on microbiological assays (e.g., spore viability, D-value, kill time) and engineered test conditions, rather than expert interpretation of medical images or pathologies.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. As the tests are non-clinical and objective (e.g., measuring spore population, observing growth/no growth), there is no need for expert adjudication.

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

Not applicable. This device is a biological indicator for monitoring sterilization processes, not a medical imaging or diagnostic device that involves human readers.

• Effect Size: Not applicable.

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

The device is a standalone biological indicator that produces a result (fluorescent signal) which is then read by the Celerity® Incubator. While humans initiate the process and interpret the incubator's output, the "performance" described in the tests (e.g., D-value, kill time, signal generation) refers to the intrinsic behavior of the biological indicator. In this sense, the tests demonstrate the standalone performance of the BI.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth used is primarily microbiological and physical measurements based on established standards for biological indicators. This includes:

• Spore population counts: Direct enumeration of viable spores.
• D-value determination: A measure of the resistance of microorganisms to a sterilizing agent.
• Survival and kill times: Time points at which a specified percentage of organisms survive or are killed.
• Growth/no growth observations: The fundamental output of a biological indicator.
• Fluorescent signal detection: Objective detection by the incubator.
• Worst-case sterilization conditions: Established laboratory parameters to rigorously challenge the device's performance.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This device is a physical biological indicator, not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires a training set of data.

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

Not applicable (as it's not an AI/ML device).
