Popis: | In this article, the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) medical device substantial equivalence provision will be briefly introduced and some statistical methods useful for evaluating device equivalence are discussed. A sample size formula is derived for limits of agreement, which may be used to assess statistical equivalence in certain medical device situations. Simulation findings on the formula are presented, which can be used to guide sample size selections in common practical situations. Examples of the sample size procedure are given. |
