Chemfort® is a single use, sterile Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) that mechanically prohibits the release of drugs, including antineoplastic and hazardous drugs, in vapor, aerosol or liquid form during administration and preparation, thus minimizing exposure of individuals, healthcare personnel, and the environment to hazardous drugs. Chemfort® prevents the introduction of microbial and airborne contaminants into the drug or fluid path for up to 7 days.

The Chemfort® Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) is developed by Simplivia Healthcare Ltd. The system is used by pharmacists, nurses or other healthcare professionals to prepare drugs, including cytotoxic drugs, and allow the safe reconstitution of powder and liquid drugs transfer for infusion containers (infusion bags, semi-rigid bottles, and collapsible plastic containers), injection, or administration. It is supplied sterile with a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6.

The Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor is part of the Chemfort® system of devices. The Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor is intended for the safe drug transfer from one syringe to another and allows closed access via Chemfort® devices to any standard male Luer connection (see below in more details).

1. Syringe to Syringe connection:
   The Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor is connected to the Chemfort® Luer Lock Adaptor. The Chemfort® Luer Lock Adaptor port is connected to an empty / saline containing syringe (syringe "A"), equipped with a Chemfort® Syringe Adaptor or Chemfort® Syringe Adaptor Lock. A drug containing syringe (syringe "B"), equipped with a Chemfort® Syringe Adaptor or Chemfort® Syringe Adaptor Lock is connected to the Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor. This assembly of devices allows drug transfer from one syringe "A" to the other, syringe "B", for drug dilution (if syringe "A" contains saline) or drug dosage (if syringe "A" is empty). This procedure allows safe drug transfer from one syringe to another. The drug in Syringe "A" can then be injected to an intravenous (IV) bag through the Chemfort® spike or in a bolus through another Chemfort® Luer Lock Adaptor connected to a Y-site on an IV set.

Note that this procedure also involves the Chemfort® Vial Adaptor to allow to withdraw the drug from the drug vial to syringe "B".

2. Connection to IV sets:
   The Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor is connected to an IV set through the luer lock connection (proximal end or infusion line). The Chemfort® port can then connect to one of the Chemfort® Closed Administration (CADM) IV sets. This setup transfers an open IV set connection to a closed connection.

The Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor can be in contact with concentrated or diluted drugs.

The Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor is a single-use device intended for use on adults, children and infants.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and supporting documentation (Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor 510(k) Summary) describe the performance testing and acceptance criteria for a physical medical device, not a software or AI-driven diagnostic device.

Therefore, many of the requested categories in your prompt (e.g., number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC study, sample size for training set, how ground truth for training set was established, standalone performance) are not applicable to this type of device submission. These categories are typically relevant for AI/ML-based diagnostic devices where performance data relies heavily on expert annotations, comparative effectiveness studies involving human readers, and distinct training/test datasets.

However, I can extract the relevant acceptance criteria and performance data for the Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor based on the provided document.

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor

This document outlines the performance data and acceptance criteria for the Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor, a physical medical device. The study performed demonstrates the device's adherence to established safety and performance standards for intravascular administration sets.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for this device are primarily based on established international standards and internal validation procedures for medical devices of this type. The "Results" column from the provided Table 2 in the 510(k) summary indicates that all tests met their acceptance criteria, demonstrating the device's compliance.

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

• Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample sizes for each performance test (e.g., number of units tested for particulate analysis, bidirectional flow, etc.). However, it indicates that "Simplivia conducted several performance tests to demonstrate that the Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor is safe and effective..." implying a sufficient number of samples were tested to meet the requirements of the listed standards and internal procedures.
• Data Provenance: The tests were conducted by Simplivia Healthcare LTD. (an Israeli company) for regulatory submission to the FDA. The data provenance is laboratory testing performed by the manufacturer, rather than clinical data from human subjects. The tests are prospective in nature, as they involve testing newly manufactured devices against predetermined specifications.

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

This question is not applicable to the type of device being cleared. The "ground truth" for the performance of a physical device like the Chemfort® Female Luer Lock Adaptor is established by adherence to validated engineering specifications, material properties, and functionality defined by international standards (e.g., ISO, USP) and internal quality control procedures. It does not involve expert interpretations of images or signals for diagnostic purposes.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used to resolve discrepancies in expert annotations or interpretations, typically in studies involving human readers or AI outputs for diagnostic tasks. For a physical device, performance is evaluated against objective, measurable criteria with pass/fail outcomes, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. MRMC studies are specific to evaluating the diagnostic performance of medical imaging devices or AI algorithms, often comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance across multiple cases. This device is an intravascular administration set, not an imaging or diagnostic AI device.

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

This question is not applicable. There is no "algorithm" to be evaluated in a standalone manner for this physical device. Its function is mechanical and fluidic.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device is based on engineering specifications, material science, and compliance with recognized international standards (e.g., ISO 80369-7, ISO 10993 series, USP monographs). These standards define the acceptable performance characteristics, physical properties, and safety profiles for devices of this type. For example, for "Luer Test," the ground truth is defined by the dimensional and functional requirements of ISO 80369-7:2021. For "Biocompatibility," the ground truth is defined by the specific tests and acceptance criteria within the ISO 10993 series.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This question is not applicable. This device is a physical product, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set.

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

This question is not applicable for the same reason as #8.
