    2. 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 criterion is not applicable. The "ground truth" for glove performance involves objective measurements and adherence to specified physical and chemical properties defined by standards (ASTM, ISO, CFR). It does not rely on expert interpretation in the same way clinical diagnostic devices do. Biocompatibility tests are conducted by specialized laboratories.
    3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

      • Not applicable. Performance is determined by objective measurements against numerical or qualitative pass/fail criteria defined in the standards, not by expert 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 device is a physical examination glove, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. MRMC studies are not relevant.
    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

      • Not applicable. This is a physical product, not an algorithm or software.
    6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

      • The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on objective measurements against established engineering and material science standards (ASTM D6139-05, ASTM D5250-06, ASTM D6124-06, 21 CFR 800.20, ISO10993-10). This includes dimensional accuracy, physical strength, integrity (freedom from pinholes), chemical residue, and biological reaction (irritation, sensitization).
    7. The sample size for the training set

      • Not applicable. This concept pertains to machine learning models, which are not relevant for this device.
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established

      • Not applicable, as there is no training set in the context of this device.

    Summary of the Study:

    The "study" demonstrating the device meets acceptance criteria is primarily a series of non-clinical bench and lab tests against well-established international and national standards. The manufacturer conducted these tests and reported that their Nitrile Powder Free Patient Examination Gloves "Meets" or "Passes" all specified criteria from ASTM D 6139-05, 21 CFR 800.20, ASTM D 5250-06, ASTM D6124-06, and ISO10993-10. These tests cover the critical performance aspects for patient examination gloves, including their physical integrity, durability, and biocompatibility, ensuring they are safe and effective for their intended medical purpose of preventing contamination. No clinical data was required or submitted, as is typical for this type of device.

    Powder ResidualASTM D 5250-00c4 and D6124-01Meets
    BiocompatibilityPrimary Skin Irritation in rabbits (ISO10993-10)Passes (Not a Primary Skin Irritation)
    Dermal sensitization in guinea pig (ISO10993-10)Passes (Not a Dermal sensitization)

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

    The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the test set for each characteristic. However, the testing was conducted on the "Powder Free Blue Patient Nitrile Examination Gloves" manufactured by Tangshan Luxiong Plastic Products Co.,Ltd. The data provenance is not specified as retrospective or prospective, but it can be inferred that the testing was conducted specifically for this device as part of its premarket notification process. The country of origin of the device is China.

    3. Number of Experts and their Qualifications for Ground Truth

    The concept of "experts" and "ground truth" as typically applied to AI/ML device studies (e.g., radiologist consensus) is not directly applicable here. The device is a medical glove, and its performance is evaluated against established physical, chemical, and biological standards. Therefore, the "ground truth" is defined by these standards, and the "experts" would be the certified laboratories and personnel conducting the specified tests according to the standard operating procedures of each test. Their qualifications would be their certification and experience in performing these specific tests (e.g., in material science testing, biological safety testing).

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are not applicable to the testing of medical gloves against performance standards. The results of the tests (e.g., whether a dimension meets the specification, whether a sample passes the pinhole test) are objective measurements or categorical outcomes that do not require human interpretation or consensus in the same way as an image diagnosis. The "adjudication" is inherent in the methodology of the standard test itself, where specific pass/fail criteria are defined.

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

    An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically performed for diagnostic or AI-assisted medical devices where human readers interpret medical images or data. The "Powder Free Blue Patient Nitrile Examination Gloves" is a physical barrier device, and its effectiveness is determined by its physical and biological properties.

    6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only)

    A standalone performance study (algorithm only) was not done. This device is not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance is entirely physical and biological, as assessed through laboratory testing.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    The type of ground truth used is based on established industry standards and regulatory requirements. Specifically:

    • ASTM D 6139-05: For Dimension and Physical Properties.
    • 21 CFR 800.20: For Freedom from pinholes.
    • ASTM D 5250-00c4 and D6124-01: For Powder Residual.
    • ISO10993-10: For Biocompatibility (Primary Skin Irritation and Dermal sensitization).

    These standards define the methodologies, acceptance criteria, and expected performance for patient examination gloves.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    A "training set" is not applicable to this device. This is not an AI/ML device that requires machine learning model training. The device's manufacturing process is controlled to meet the specified standards, and batches are tested to ensure compliance.

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

    As there is no training set for an AI/ML model, the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set is not relevant here. The "ground truth" for the device's performance is inherently defined by the objective, predetermined pass/fail criteria within the ASTM and ISO standards mentioned above. These standards are developed through expert consensus within their respective organizations (ASTM, ISO) and are widely accepted in the industry and by regulatory bodies.

    Device Description

    Nitrile Powder Free Patient Examination Gloves

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for Nitrile Powder Free Patient Examination Gloves. It does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study proving device performance in the context of medical devices that typically involve AI or complex algorithms.

    The letter is a regulatory document confirming that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, allowing it to be marketed. This determination is based on the device meeting general controls provisions and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations, not on specific performance metrics from a clinical study as would be described for an AI-powered diagnostic device.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the provided document.
