This document primarily details the non-clinical testing and substantial equivalence determination for a Disposable Medical Mask (K222545) in comparison to a predicate device (K211454). It is not a study that proves a device meets acceptance criteria through a clinical or reader study involving human interpretation of AI results.
This submission is for a medical mask, which is a physical device, and the "acceptance criteria" discussed are primarily related to its physical and biological performance characteristics (e.g., filtration efficiency, fluid resistance, biocompatibility), not the performance of an AI algorithm. Therefore, many of the requested points, such as those related to AI algorithm performance, human expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and ground truth establishment for AI training/testing, are not applicable to this document.
However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the acceptance criteria and performance of the mask itself based on the provided text.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: 3 nonconsecutive lots were used for testing, with 32 samples for each model of surgical mask for the non-clinical tests.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective. However, Hantech Medical Device Co., Ltd. is based in the PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. It can be inferred that the testing was conducted for the purpose of this premarket notification, making it prospective in nature relative to the submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This document describes performance testing for medical masks against established standards. The nature of these tests (e.g., fluid resistance, filtration efficiency, flammability) does not typically involve human expert consensus for "ground truth" establishment in the same way an AI diagnostic algorithm would. The results are obtained through objective physical and biological tests conducted in laboratories. Therefore, information about "experts used to establish ground truth" with specific qualifications is not applicable in this context. The "ground truth" is defined by the technical specifications and criteria within the referenced standards (e.g., ASTM F2100, ISO 10993).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Given that the tests involve objective measurements against predefined criteria and standards, an adjudication method like "2+1" or "3+1" (typically used for resolving discrepancies in expert interpretations) is not applicable. The results are quantitative and pass/fail based on the physical properties of the masks.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done. This type of study is typically performed for diagnostic devices where human readers interpret medical images or data, and their performance with and without AI assistance is evaluated. This submission is for medical masks, which do not involve human diagnostic interpretation.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
No standalone (algorithm-only) performance study was done. The device is a physical medical mask, not an algorithm or AI software.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the performance of these medical masks is defined by established international and national standards and their specific criteria. These include:
- ASTM F2100 (Standard Specification for Performance of Materials Used in Medical Face Masks)
- ASTM F1862 (Standard Test Method for Resistance of Medical Face Masks to Penetration by Synthetic Blood)
- EN 14683 (Medical Face Masks - Requirements and Test Methods)
- ASTM F2101 (Standard Test Method for Evaluating the Bacterial Filtration Efficiency)
- ASTM F2299 (Standard test method for determining the initial efficiency of materials used in medical face masks to penetration by particulates)
- 16 CFR 1610 (Standard for the Flammability of clothing textiles)
- ISO 10993-5 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Tests For In Vitro Cytotoxicity)
- ISO 10993-10 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Tests for Irritation and Skin Sensitization)

The Disposable Medical Masks are sold non-sterile and are intended to be a single-use, disposable device. This product contains no components made from natural rubber latex.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device: a Disposable Medical Mask (K212826). The information provided focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving the device meets a set of acceptance criteria through a clinical study that uses AI or human readers for diagnosis. Therefore, several aspects of your request (related to AI, human readers, ground truth establishment for a training set, the number of experts, and adjudication methods for a test set) are not applicable to the content provided.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the physical properties and biocompatibility of the medical mask, as these are the "device performance" aspects evaluated in this submission for regulatory clearance.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document presents performance criteria for the Disposable Medical Mask based on established ASTM and EN standards for medical face masks.
| Test / Performance Metric | Standard(s) | Acceptance Criteria (for Level 2 Mask) | Reported Device Performance | Pass/Fail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE, %) | ASTM F2101 | ≥ 98% | Average 99.79% | Pass |
| Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE, at 0.1µm, %) | ASTM F2299 | ≥ 98% | Average 99.13% | Pass |
| Differential Pressure (Delta P, mm H2O/cm²) | ASTM F2100-19, EN 14683:2019, Annex C | < 6.0 mm H2O/cm² | 4.4 mm H2O/cm² | Pass |
| Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood (minimum pressure in mmHg for pass result) | ASTM F1862/F1862M-17 | 29 out of 32 pass at 120 mmHg | 31 of 32 pass at 120 mmHg | Pass |
| Flame Spread | 16 CFR 1610 | Class 1 Non-Flammable | Class 1 Non-Flammable | Pass |
| In Vitro Cytotoxicity | ISO10993-5: 2009 | Non-cytotoxic | Non-cytotoxic | Pass |
| Skin Sensitization | ISO10993-10: 2010 | Non-sensitizing | Non-sensitizing | Pass |
| Skin Irritation | ISO10993-10 | Non-irritating | Non-irritating | Pass |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document indicates specific sample sizes for certain tests, e.g., "31 out of 32 pass" for fluid resistance. This implies a sample size of 32 masks for that particular test. Other tests, such as BFE, PFE, and Differential Pressure, typically involve multiple measurements across a sample of materials/masks, but specific sample numbers (like 'n=X') are not explicitly stated for each test beyond the fluid resistance.
- Data Provenance: The tests are conducted for the purpose of a US FDA 510(k) submission. The manufacturer is Jiangsu Nanfang Medical Co., Ltd. from Jiangsu Province, China. The testing itself is non-clinical, involving laboratory assessments of physical and biological properties. The document does not specify whether the data was retrospective or prospective in the sense of a clinical trial; these are manufacturing and materials tests conducted on samples of the device.
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 is not applicable. The "ground truth" for a medical mask in this context refers to its physical and biocompatibility properties as measured by standardized laboratory methods (e.g., how much fluid it resists, its filtration efficiency). These are objective measurements, not subjective interpretations by human experts like radiologists.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable. As the ground truth is established through objective laboratory testing rather than human interpretation, there's no need for an adjudication process involving multiple readers.
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 is not applicable. This submission is for a disposable medical mask, a physical barrier device, and does not involve AI assistance, image interpretation, or human reader studies.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable. There is no algorithm or AI involved in this device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established through measurements against recognized international consensus standards and test methods. For example:
- Performance: ASTM F2101 for BFE, ASTM F2299 for PFE, ASTM F1862/F1862M-17 for fluid resistance, EN 14683:2019 for differential pressure, and 16 CFR 1610 for flammability.
- Biocompatibility: ISO 10993 series (ISO10993-5 for cytotoxicity, ISO10993-10 for sensitization and irritation).
These standards define the methodology for determining if the device's material properties meet specified safety and performance benchmarks.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable. The device is a physical product (medical mask) and does not involve AI or machine learning models that require a "training set" of data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

The Surgical Face Mask are Non-sterile, single use, 3 layers, flat-pleated style with mask belt and nose clip. The outer layer and inner facing layer of face mask consist of spunbond polypropylene, and the middle layer consists of melt blown polypropylene filter. Each mask contains mask belt to secure the mask over the user's face and mouth with nose clip to firmly fit over the nose. This device is not made from any natural rubber latex.
The provided document (K210222) is a 510(k) premarket notification for a Disposable Medical Mask. This type of device is a Class II medical device, and the submission primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K160269) through performance testing against established standards for medical masks, rather than a clinical study involving human subjects or AI algorithm validation data.
Therefore, many of the requested points, such as "Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance," "Number of experts used to establish the ground truth," "Adjudication method," "MRMC comparative effectiveness study," "training set establishment," etc., are not applicable to this specific submission. The "acceptance criteria" here refer to meeting the performance requirements for physical properties of the mask as per recognized standards (e.g., ASTM F2100-19), not diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes assessed by an algorithm.
Here's a breakdown based on the information available in the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria and performance data are primarily derived from standard test methodologies for medical face masks.
| Test Methodology | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance (Results) |

| Sensitization test | To evaluate the potential of the test articles to cause delayed dermal contact sensitization in the guinea pig maximization test. | Non-sensitization | Non-sensitization |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of masks) used for each individual performance test (e.g., how many masks were tested for BFE). However, these are standard laboratory tests typically performed on a statistically relevant sample size of units from a production batch to ensure consistency. The provenance of the data is from non-clinical laboratory testing, likely conducted in China, as the manufacturer is based in China. The testing is retrospective in the sense that it's performed on manufactured samples for regulatory submission. It is not clinical data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. The "ground truth" for the performance tests of a medical mask (e.g., BFE, PFE, fluid resistance) is established by the standardized test methodologies themselves and the physical measurements obtained. It does not involve expert readers or clinical interpretation like in diagnostic AI.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. There is no human interpretation or adjudication step in these physical 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 is a physical medical device (mask), not an AI-powered 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 is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used
The "ground truth" for this device, which is a physical barrier, is defined by its measured physical performance characteristics as specified by internationally recognized standards (e.g., ASTM F2100-19, EN 14683). This includes:
- Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE)
- Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE)
- Fluid Resistance
- Differential Pressure (Breathability)
- Flammability
- Biocompatibility (Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Sensitization)
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
