    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 sample sizes or data provenance for the individual bench tests or performance testing. It states that "Accuracy testing under anticipated environments of use and routes" was performed, and administration sets performance testing was done per ISO 80369-6:2016, but without details on sample size. Similarly, human factors studies were conducted with the "intended user population, use environment and use scenarios," but specific numbers are not provided. The testing is bench testing and human factors testing, not clinical studies involving patient data.

    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 section is Not Applicable as the document discusses testing of a medical device (infusion pump and administration sets) for performance and safety characteristics, not a diagnostic algorithm where expert ground truth is typically required for image or data interpretation. The ground truth for performance testing is established by engineering specifications, regulatory standards (e.g., IEC, ISO), and risk analysis.

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

    This section is Not Applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 refer to a consensus process among experts for establishing ground truth in diagnostic studies, which is not relevant to the performance and safety testing described for an infusion pump.

    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. The document describes a medical device (infusion pump) and its administration sets, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or treatment planning system. Therefore, MRMC studies or human reader improvement with AI are not relevant here.

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

    This section is Not Applicable. The product is a physical device (infusion pump) with embedded software, not a standalone algorithm without human interaction. Performance testing was done on the device itself and its accessories.

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

    The ground truth for the performance and safety testing of the Sapphire Infusion Pump and administration sets is based on several factors:

    • Regulatory Standards: Compliance with established international standards such as IEC 60601-1 (Electrical Safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 60601-1-8 (Alarms), IEC 62133-2 (Battery Safety), ISO 10993-11 (Biocompatibility), ISO 80369-6 (Administration sets performance, specifically for NRFit connectors), ASTM F2503-13 (MR Safety).
    • FDA Guidance Documents: Compliance with FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices, Guidance for Industry, FDA Reviewers and Compliance on Off-the-Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices, Infusion Pumps Total Product Life Cycle, Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices, Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices, and Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings.
    • Predicate Device Performance: The primary ground truth for many characteristics is the established safety and effectiveness of the previously cleared Sapphire Infusion Pump (K161667) and administration sets (K141389, K123049). The subject device demonstrates "Same" performance for a majority of parameters.
    • Risk Analysis and Verification/Validation: For any new features or modifications (e.g., perineural route, 10-minute low battery alarm, option to disable air detection, mini cradle with IPS, NRFit connectors, sleeve removal, length/priming volume changes), the ground truth is established through internal risk analyses and subsequent verification and validation testing to confirm they do not introduce new questions of safety or effectiveness and meet their design requirements.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This section is Not Applicable. The Sapphire Infusion Pump is a hardware device with controlling software, not an AI/ML model that undergoes a training phase with a specific dataset.

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

    This section is Not Applicable for the same reasons as point 8.
