STASIS Gel is intended for sulcus retraction prior to impression making and to control bleeding and gingival oozing in restorative and operative dentistry used with gingival retraction cord. STASIS Gel facilitates the insertion of the cord into the sulcus.
Stasis Gel is a 15.5% Ferric Sulfate in a water-based, viscous gel that facilitates sulcus retraction. When applied to the sulcus, the product provides physical displacement of the gingival tissue from the tooth, which in turn, provides a physical barrier to prevent gingival bleeding and oozing from following procedures. Stasis Gel is supplied in a 30 ml or 1.2 ml plastic syringe. The 30 ml syringe is used for bulk storage and 1.2 ml plastic syringe is used for delivery the gel to the sulcus.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the STASIS Gel, a dental device intended for sulcus retraction and control of bleeding/gingival oozing. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Vista FS) rather than presenting a detailed study with acceptance criteria for a new AI/software device. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding AI device testing (e.g., sample size for test set, expert qualifications, MRMC study, standalone performance) is not applicable or provided in this document.
However, based on the provided text, I can extract information related to the device's characteristics and the non-clinical testing performed to support its substantial equivalence.
Here's the information that can be extracted, and where the requested information is not applicable, it is noted.

- 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.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable in the AI/CADe sense. The "ground truth" for this device would be established by chemical analysis and standard biocompatibility testing.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
However, I can extract the following information relevant to the submission:

Vista Clear is intended for sulcus retraction prior to impression making and to control bleeding and gingival oozing in restorative and operative dentistry used with gingival retraction cord. Vista Clear facilitates the insertion of the cord into the sulcus.
Vista Clear is used to facilitate sulcus retraction prior to taking a dental impression of a tooth. This entails placement of the device into the sulcus which provides physical displacement of the gingival tissue from the tooth. If using a gingival retraction cord, the subject device facilitates the insertion of the cord into the sulcus while also creating a physical barrier to prevent gingival bleeding and oozing from affecting restorative and tissue management procedures.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "Vista Clear." This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than undergoing extensive clinical trials or performance testing against specific acceptance criteria for efficacy in the same way a novel device might.
Therefore, the document does not contain information on "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of clinical performance or diagnostic accuracy. Instead, the "device performance" described relates to non-clinical testing demonstrating equivalence to a predicate device.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing your questions to the extent possible, and highlighting what's not present:
Key Takeaway: This 510(k) summary is for a device with a clear physical/chemical function (sulcus retraction, bleeding control) and claims substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and non-clinical testing, not clinical performance or diagnostic accuracy with human interpretation.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The concept of "acceptance criteria" in this 510(k) largely revolves around demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device and meeting relevant non-clinical performance standards. There are no explicit quantitative clinical performance acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) stated in the document, as it's not a diagnostic device.
Reported Device Performance (from "Non-Clinical Performance Testing and Compliance"):
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Equivalence & Standards) | Reported Device Performance (Vista Clear) |
|---|---|
| Technological Characteristics Substantial Equivalence: | |
| - Same Intended Use: Sulcus retraction and bleeding/gingival oozing control. | - Meets. Nearly identical indications for use as the predicate device. |
| - Same Common Name / Product Code Classification (MVL). | - Meets. |
| - Same Recommended Contact Time (1-3 minutes). | - Meets. |
| - Same Form/Mechanism: Aqueous gel for physical retraction. | - Meets. "identical to the predicate device as both products are aqueous gels which aid in the physical retraction of gingival tissue." |
| - Same Target Population & Anatomical Site: Healthcare professionals, oral cavity. | - Meets. |
| - Same Prescription Use classification. | - Meets. |
| - Same Packaging/Configuration. | - Meets. "offered in the same configurations as the predicate device (i.e. prefilled syringes with applicator tips, or bulk syringes with unfilled smaller syringes and applicator tips)." |
| - Similar Chemical Characteristics (Aluminum chloride based). | - Meets. Contains 26.6% aluminum chloride hexahydrate vs. predicate's 25% aluminum chloride. Stated this difference "does not raise any safety or efficacy concerns as they are analogous materials." |
| - Similar pH (Implied by "identical technological characteristics"). | - Meets. "Both medical devices have an identical pH." |
| - Non-Sterile classification. | - Meets. |
| Non-Clinical Performance Acceptance Criteria: | |
| - Analytical Testing: Verified manufacturing and comparable results to predicate. | - Meets. "Results from testing are commensurate with the predicate device, supporting substantial equivalence..." |
| - Cytotoxicity Testing (ISO 10993-1): No significant cytotoxicity, comparable to predicate. | - Meets. "Vista Clear exhibited the same cytotoxicity result as the predicate device (ViscoStat Clear) sold for the same intended use." This "confirms that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device." |
| - Microbiological Testing: Mitigation of contamination risks, support shelf stability. | - Meets. "Vista Clear exhibits bactericidal properties." This "helps to support shelf stability and multiple use of non-patient contacting materials." Note: Not claiming a "bactericidal effect" on the patient, but rather internal contamination control. |
| - Shelf-Life Testing: Demonstrate stability for stated shelf-life (24 months). | - Meets. "Based on accelerated testing, a shelf life of two years is supported for Vista Clear." (Predicate has 42 months, but this difference is deemed acceptable with appropriate labeling.) Real-time aging is ongoing. |
| - Transit Testing: Packaging withstands simulated transit conditions without negative effect on product. | - Meets. "Moreover, the products performed satisfactory post-transit. which confirms that transit did not have a negative effect on the products themselves." |
| - Compliance with applicable standards (e.g., ISO 10993-1, ISO 14971, ISO 594-1/2 for Luer taper). | - Stated that these standards were followed for evaluation and risk management. No specific results are given for general standards like ISO 14971 (risk management). |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Test Set (for non-clinical performance): The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of clinical or diagnostic performance data (e.g., number of patient cases, images). The testing refers to laboratory-based evaluations of the device's material properties, packaging, and stability.
- Data Provenance: N/A. This is a submission for a new device, and the data provenance refers to materials/engineering tests, not patient data. No country of origin for patient data (as there isn't any provided in text) or retrospective/prospective study type is mentioned as no clinical studies were performed.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- N/A. This information is relevant for studies involving human interpretation or diagnostic accuracy. For this type of device and 510(k) submission, ground truth relates to the results of objective laboratory tests (e.g., is it cytotoxic?), not expert consensus on clinical findings.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- N/A. As no expert consensus or human interpretation of clinical cases was performed, no adjudication method is relevant or described.
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
- N/A. This device is a dental material, not an AI or diagnostic imaging device. Therefore, no MRMC study was conducted or is applicable.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- N/A. This is not an algorithm-based device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" for this device is based on objective laboratory test results (e.g., analytical chemistry, toxicology, microbiology, stability) that confirm the material properties, safety, and functionality of the device compared to established scientific principles and the predicate device's known characteristics. It's not clinical outcomes or expert labels.
8. The sample size for the training set
- N/A. This term is relevant for machine learning models. No training set is applicable for this type of medical device submission.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- N/A. As there is no training set, this question is not applicable.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document describes non-clinical laboratory testing. It does not refer to a "test set" in the context of clinical data or a patient population. The samples for testing were likely materials from the manufactured devices themselves (e.g., aliquots for analytical testing, cell cultures for cytotoxicity). No information on the country of origin of data or whether it was retrospective or prospective is provided, as these are not relevant to the described non-clinical tests.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. This information is relevant for studies relying on expert-derived ground truth, typically in image analysis or diagnostic scenarios. The provided document concerns non-clinical testing of a dental product.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods are used in studies involving human interpretation or subjective assessments, which are not described in this document for the evaluation of this dental product.
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 device is a dental product (sulcus retraction material) and not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a dental product and not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

Smartcord is non-impregnated knitted retraction cord made from 100% cotton. Smartcord X is knitted retraction cord made from 100% cotton, impregnated with Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the medical devices Smartcord and Smartcord X. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting detailed acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria.
Therefore, many of the requested sections about acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, multi-reader multi-case studies, and standalone performance results are not available in this type of document.
Here's an analysis based on the information available in the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document does not explicitly define specific performance acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum tensile strength, specific retraction efficacy metrics) or report quantitative results for the device against such criteria. Instead, it relies on demonstrating equivalence in material composition, intended use, and general properties to the predicate device.
The "performance" described is in the context of biocompatibility testing, which confirmed the device is biocompatible as directed.
| Acceptance Criteria (Not Explicitly Stated, Inferred from Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from Biocompatibility) |

For biocompatibility testing, the "ground truth" is established by the standardized methods outlined in ISO 10993, and the results are interpreted by trained laboratory personnel. There isn't a concept of "expert ground truth" in the way it would be applied to diagnostic imaging interpretation.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not specified, but implied to be qualified laboratory personnel experienced in conducting and interpreting biocompatibility tests according to ISO standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. Biocompatibility testing involves objective laboratory measurements and observations against pre-defined criteria in the ISO standards, rather than subjective judgments requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size:
- MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically performed for diagnostic devices where human readers interpret results, often with and without AI assistance, to assess performance improvement. Smartcord and Smartcord X are physical dental retraction cords, not diagnostic algorithms.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done:
- Standalone Performance Study: No, this is not applicable. There is no algorithm involved in the Smartcord or Smartcord X product. The assessment is of the physical device's properties and biological safety.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Ground Truth: For biocompatibility, the "ground truth" is defined by the established biological responses and thresholds outlined in the ISO 10993 series of standards. This involves measuring cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization responses in laboratory models (e.g., cell cultures, animal models) and comparing them to acceptable limits defined by the standards.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable. There is no AI or machine learning algorithm in these devices, so there is no training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm.
