The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the study conducted for the "Shijiazhuang Hongxiang Plastic Products Co., Ltd. Vinyl Co-Polymer Powder Free Examination Gloves, Blue Color." This is a Class I medical device (patient examination glove). The evaluation focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as per FDA 510(k) requirements.

Here's an analysis of the provided information in the requested format:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

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

• Physical and Dimensions Testing: Inspection level S-2, AQL 4.0. The specific number of gloves tested is not provided, but AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) indicates the maximum acceptable percentage of defective items.
• Pinhole Test (Water Fill Test): AQL 2.5, inspection level G-1. The specific number of gloves tested is not provided, but AQL indicates the maximum acceptable percentage of defective items.
• Primary Skin Irritation and Skin Sensitization Testing: The sample size for these biological tests is not specified in the document.
• Residual Powder Test: The sample size is not specified in the document.
• Data Provenance: The origin of the data is from testing performed by Shijiazhuang Hongxiang Plastic Products Co., Ltd. in China. The study appears to be prospective as it involves new testing of the device for submission.

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

• Not applicable. This device is a Class I examination glove, and the evaluation does not involve diagnostic interpretation that would require expert human readers to establish ground truth from medical images or clinical observations. The ground truth is objective measurements against established ASTM standards and FDA requirements.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

• Not applicable. As the tests are objective measurements against defined physical, chemical, and biological standards (e.g., AQL, mg of powder, presence/absence of irritation), there is no adjudication process involving multiple human reviewers.

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

• No. An MRMC study is not relevant for this type of device. Such studies are typically conducted for diagnostic imaging devices or algorithms where human interpretation is a key component.

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

• Yes, in essence. The testing performed (physical, dimensional, pinhole, biocompatibility, residual powder) is equivalent to a "standalone" evaluation of the device's inherent properties without human interaction or interpretation as part of its primary function. The device itself is not an algorithm, but its performance is measured directly.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

• Objective Standards and Measurement: The ground truth is established by:
  • ASTM Standards: D-5250-00E4 (physical and dimensions), D-5151-99 (pinhole/water fill), D-6124-06 (residual powder).
  • FDA Requirements: Specific pinhole requirements and biocompatibility expectations.
  • Defined Limits: E.g., no more than 2 mg powder per glove for "powder-free" claim.
  • Direct Biological Observation: For skin irritation and sensitization tests.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

• Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm or a diagnostic tool that requires a "training set." The testing is for a physical medical product.

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

• Not applicable. There is no training set for this type of device.

The device described is the Grand Work Plastic Products Co., Ltd.'s Vinyl Co-Polymer Powder Free Examination Gloves, Blue Color. The submission is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence to a predicate device. This type of submission generally relies on non-clinical performance data rather than extensive clinical studies.

Here's an analysis of the provided information concerning acceptance criteria and supporting studies:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

• Physical and Dimensions Testing: Inspection level S-2, AQL 4.0. The specific number of items sampled is not explicitly stated but is determined by the AQL and inspection level. Data provenance is not specified but would typically be from the manufacturer's internal testing.
• Pinhole Detection (Water Fill Test): AQL 2.5, Inspection Level G-1. The specific number of items sampled is not explicitly stated. Data provenance is not specified.
• Primary Skin Irritation and Skin Sensitization: The sample size for these biological tests is not specified in the provided document. These tests are typically conducted in vitro or in vivo on animal models or human volunteers according to standard protocols. Data provenance is not specified.
• Residual Powder Test: The sample size is not specified. Data provenance is not specified.

All testing would be considered retrospective in the context of this submission, as they were performed prior to the submission for FDA clearance. The country of origin of the data is implied to be from the manufacturer's testing facilities, likely in China, given the submitter's location.

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

Not applicable for this type of device and submission. The "ground truth" for the performance tests (e.g., tensile strength, pinholes) is established by the objective physical and chemical testing methods and their predefined acceptance criteria, not by expert consensus on interpretations of complex data like medical images.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The tests are objective measurements against predetermined standards, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication among experts.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices where human readers interpret medical data (e.g., images), and the AI's impact on reader performance is evaluated. Examination gloves do not involve such human interpretation.

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

No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. The device is a physical product (gloves), not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device is based on objective measurements and predefined standards.

• For physical properties and dimensions, the ground truth is derived from the ASTM D-5250-00E4 standard specifications.
• For pinhole detection, the ground truth is determined by the FDA 1000 ml. Water Fill Test based on ASTM D-5151-99.
• For biocompatibility (skin irritation and sensitization), the ground truth is established by the results of standardized biological assays that demonstrate no adverse reactions.
• For residual powder, the ground truth is based on the ASTM D-6124-06 standard for starch content.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set. The performance is based on the manufacturing process and material characteristics, assessed through quality control and testing.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.
