    Device Description

    The purpose of this submission is to expand abutment categories of IPD Dental Implant Abutments, which were previously cleared.

    IPDmilled Blanks is a dental implant abutment system composed of dental abutments and screws intended to be placed into dental implants to provide support for dental prosthetic restorations. Abutments provide basis for single or multiple tooth prosthetic restorations. They are available in a variety of connection types to enable compatibility with commercially available dental implants systems. IPDmilled Blanks have a pre-manufactured connection interface that fits directly with a pre-specified dental implant. The customized shape of the abutment is intended to be designed and manufactured according to a digital dentistry workflow or to be sent to an IPD validated milling center for manufacture. IPDmilled Blank is delivered non-sterile and the final restoration, including the screw, is intended to be sterilized at the dental clinic before it is placed in the patient.

    The IPDmilled Blanks are blistered together with their specific screw. The screws are intended to attach the prosthesis to the dental implant.

    The metallic components of the subject abutments and screws are made of titanium alloy conforming to ISO 5832-3 "Implants for surgery – Metallic materials – Part 3: Wrought titanium 6-aluminium 4-vanadium alloy".

    The design and manufacturing of the custom abutment will be conducted using a digital dentistry workflow requiring the use of the following equipment and software:
    Intraoral Scanner: 3Shape TRIOS A/S Series
    Desktop Scanner: 3Shape E Series.
    Design Software: 3Shape Abutment Designer Software, K151455.
    AbutmentCAD, K193352.
    Milling unit: CORiTEC 350i PRO / CORiTEC 350i Loader PRO with MillBox CAM software.

    IPDmilled Blank libraries' have built-in design limitations, and the user isn't allowed to exceed these limitations. The custom abutment design limitation specifications are as follows:
    Minimum gingival height: 0.5 mm
    Maximum gingival height: 6.0 mm
    Minimum wall thickness: 0.4 mm
    Minimum post height: 4.0 mm

    All IPDmilled Blanks are for straight abutments only.

    Device Description

    The proposed CEREC Tessera Abutment System is a modification of the previously cleared CEREC Tessera Abutment Block (K221402). The proposed CEREC Tessera Abutment Blocks are intended for fabrication of single cement-retained restorations. The proposed CEREC Tessera Abutment System (with the additional TiBase and Implant System compatibilities and change in wall thickness) is comprised of the CEREC Tessera Abutment Block, applicable TiBase, and CAD/CAM systems in both chairside (CEREC chairside software) and labside (inLab labside software) use. The CEREC Tessera Abutment Blocks are not provided as the finished, fully assembled dental implant medical device. The CEREC Tessera Abutment Blocks are materials supplied to dental professionals that must be further processed/manufactured using CAD/CAM technology and they are not intended to be reused as in the context of direct patient-applied devices and materials.

    The CEREC Tessera Abutment Blocks are designed with a pre-drilled screw access channel and anti-rotation feature. The design allows for fabrication of a ceramic structure used to create 2-piece hybrid abutments and hybrid abutment crowns cemented to a TiBase used with dental implant systems. The patient-specific ceramic structure is then cemented to a TiBase to create the two-piece abutment which constitutes the final finished medical device. The following patient-specific ranges for CAD/CAM fabrication of the abutments are:

    • Maximum angulation of 20°
    • Minimal wall thickness of 0.5 mm
    • Gingival height ranges from 0.5 mm -3.0 mm
    • Minimum abutment post height (i.e. length above the gingival height) of >4 mm

    Intended Use

    The LOCATOR Angled Abutment is indicated for the attachment of full or partial, fixed and removable restorations retained by endosseous implants to restore masticatory function for the patient.

    Device Description

    The purpose of this submission is to expand the Indications for Use of the LOCATOR® Angled Abutment product line (K243272 & K233587) by adding compatibility of existing abutments with various new dental implant systems from Implant Direct and Biohorizons. Additionally, the submission expands the Indications for Use of the product line with a modified version of the predicate device shown to be compatible with the Implant Logistics Implant-One Series 300 and Series 400 Implant Systems. The LOCATOR Angled Abutment is designed and intended for the attachment of full or partial, fixed and removable, restorations retained by endosseous implants in the mandible or maxilla, as cleared to be used with LOCATOR FIXED (K213391) and LOCATOR Attachment Systems (K072878).

    The LOCATOR Angled Abutments are manufactured from titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) and are titanium nitride (TiN) coated in various abutment heights, identical to the predicate device. The LOCATOR Angled Abutment interfacing features are provided at a 15 degree angle to allow for angle correction, substantially equivalent to the predicate device of K233587 and K243272. The abutments will be used with the accessories of the LOCATOR Implant Attachment System (retention inserts, denture attachment housing, and ancillary processing parts) and LOCATOR FIXED Attachment System (fixed inserts, denture attachment housing) for the attachment of a restoration, identical to the predicate device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the LOCATOR® Angled Abutment, K250721. This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and expanding indications for use, rather than detailing a study that proves the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria for a new clinical application.

    Therefore, much of the requested information regarding study design, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment (which are typical for AI/ML device clearances or those requiring extensive clinical performance data) is not present in this type of regulatory submission for a dental implant abutment.

    However, based on the information provided, I can construct a table for the acceptance criteria and reported "performance" in the context of this 510(k) submission, which is primarily a demonstration of mechanical compatibility and safety rather than a clinical efficacy study.

    Here's an interpretation based on the provided text:


    Overview of Device Performance and Acceptance Criteria (as per the 510(k) Submission)

    The LOCATOR® Angled Abutment (K250721) is a dental implant abutment. The "study" proving it meets acceptance criteria in this context is a series of non-clinical tests and engineering analyses demonstrating its compatibility with various dental implant systems and confirming its mechanical properties and biocompatibility are substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices. The acceptance criteria are implicitly met by showing conformance to established standards and similarity to predicate devices.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Acceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance / Evidence Provided
    Material CompositionConformance to ASTM F136 for Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Titanium alloy) and presence of TiN coating.Manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136 compliant) with TiN coating, "identical to the predicate device."
    Mechanical Strength & Fatigue (Worst-Case)Withstand fatigue loading per ISO 14801:2016 for tallest abutment cuff height with smallest diameter OEM implant.Fatigue testing conducted per ISO 14801:2016 for worst-case scenarios. Implicitly, the device passed. For Implant Logistics, existing 510(k) (K173701, K102822) required ISO 14801 testing, and the current design "does not create a new worst case."
    BiocompatibilityConformance to ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity).Biocompatibility assessed per ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5, leveraging prior testing (K072878, K233587). Implicitly, the device is biocompatible.
    Packaging & Shipping IntegrityPackaging and device remain undamaged after validation testing.Packaging and shipping validation testing completed; "worst case device and packaging were undamaged."
    Cleaning & Sterilization ValidationDevice can be effectively cleaned and sterilized, identical to predicate, without creating new worst-case.Cleaning and sterilization "identical to the predicate device," leveraging prior results (K233587, K243272). Engineering analysis established no new worst-case.
    MR Compatibility (Safety in MR Environment)Conformance to ASTM standards (F2052, F2213, F2182, F2119) and FDA guidance for MR safety (Force, Torque, Heating, Image Quality).MR compatibility testing conducted per specified ASTM standards and FDA guidance on Ti-6Al-4V components with similar features, leveraging prior results. Engineering analysis showed no new worst-case.
    Implant Compatibility (Functional)Proper fit and function with specified new implant systems.Critical features and tolerances verified functionally in OEM implants through "engineering analysis" and "cooperatively with the implant manufacturer (OEM)." The design for Implant Logistics systems was made "according to the manufacturer's specifications."

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

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as "sample size" in the conventional sense for a clinical trial. For physical testing (fatigue, packaging), standard engineering test specimen numbers would have been used, but these are not detailed. For material and biocompatibility, existing data was leveraged. Functional compatibility was primarily through engineering analysis.
    • Data Provenance: The data comes from in-vitro non-clinical testing and engineering analyses conducted by the manufacturer, Zest Anchors, LLC, or leveraged from previous submissions (K243272, K233587, K213391, K072878, K173701, K102822). The origin is the manufacturer's internal testing and regulatory submissions. The nature of these tests is "retrospective" in the sense that results from previous validated tests (e.g., K233587 for TiN coating, K072878 for biocompatibility) are being applied ("leveraged") to demonstrate equivalence for the current device, implying these tests were performed in the past.

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

    • Number of Experts: Not applicable. For this type of device (dental abutment) and submission (510(k) for expanded compatibility), "ground truth" is established through engineering specifications, material standards, and validated physical/mechanical testing protocols (e.g., ISO, ASTM). It does not involve human expert consensus on clinical images or patient outcomes.
    • Qualifications of Experts: N/A, as the "ground truth" is based on objective, standardized physical and material properties, confirmed by engineering analysis.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Adjudication Method: Not applicable. This is not a study requiring human adjudication of results. Engineering and laboratory tests have objective pass/fail criteria or conformance to standards.

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

    • MRMC Study Done? No. MRMC studies are typically for AI/ML devices where human readers interpret diagnostic images. This device is a physical dental implant component.
    • Effect Size of Human Readers Improvement: Not applicable.

    6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only)

    • Standalone Performance Study Done? No. This device is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" for this device's "performance" and "acceptance" is based on:
      • Engineering specifications and drawings: Ensuring physical compatibility (e.g., fit with implants).
      • International Standards: Conformance to mechanical testing standards (ISO 14801:2016 for fatigue), material standards (ASTM F136), and biocompatibility standards (ISO 10993 series).
      • Predicate device performance: Demonstrating that the subject device's design, materials, and performance characteristics are "identical" or "substantially equivalent" to previously cleared devices.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

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

    • How Ground Truth Established: Not applicable.

    Intended Use

    IPD Dental Implant Abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants in the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for single or multiple dental prosthetic restorations.

    Device Description

    IPD Dental Implant Abutments is a dental implant abutment system composed of dental abutments, screws, as well as other dental abutment accessories, intended to be placed into dental implants to provide support for dental prosthetic restorations.

    Abutments provide basis for single or multiple tooth prosthetic restorations. They are available in a variety of connection types to enable compatibility with commercially available dental implants systems.

    IPD Dental Implant Abutments includes the following categories of dental abutment designs:

    • Titanium base (Interface) abutments (INC3D);
    • Multi-Unit abutments (MUA);
    • Overdenture Abutments (PSD);
    • Temporary Abutments (PP);
    • Healing Abutments (TC).

    The system also includes the use of the corresponding screws intended to attach the prosthesis to the dental implant. Specifically:

    • Ti Screw (TT): Used during restoration fabrication.
    • TiN Screw (TTN): Used in finished restorations, with TiN coating.
    • TPA Screw (TPA): Used in finished angulated restorations, with TiN coating.

    The metallic components of the subject abutments and screws are made of titanium alloy conforming to ISO 5832-3 "Implant for surgery – Metallic materials – Part 3: Wrought titanium 6-aluminium 4-vanadium alloy".

    The purpose of this submission is to expand IPD Dental Implant Abutments offerings with:
    • New IPD's compatible dental implant systems,
    • New angulations available abutment-category specific.
    • New in-house TiN coating.

    IPD dental implant abutments and screws are compatible with the following commercially available dental implant systems:
    (Table 2. Summary of IPD abutments categories with compatibilized OEM Implant/Abutment Systems with specific reference to maximum angulation specifically included in this submission. provided in original text)

    Ti Base (Interface) abutments are attached (screw-retained) to the implant/abutment and cemented to the zirconia superstructure.

    The Ti Base is a two-piece abutment composed of the titanium component, as the bottom-half, and the zirconia superstructure, as the top-half. It consists of a pre-manufactured prosthetic component in Titanium alloy per ISO 5832-3, as well as the supporting digital library file for FDA-cleared design software (3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software, cleared under K151455) which enables the design of a patient-specific superstructure by the laboratory/clinician and which will be manufactured in FDA-cleared Zirconia (e.g., DD Bio Z, K142987) according to digital dentistry workflow at the point of care, or at a dental laboratory.

    The design and fabrication of the zirconia superstructure for Ti Base (Interface) will be conducted using a digital dentistry workflow requiring the use of the following equipment, software and materials:
    Scanner: 3D Scanner D850.
    Design Software: 3Shape Abutment Designer Software, K151455.
    Zirconia Material: DD Bio Z, K142987.
    Milling machine/Brand: Dental Concept System Model: DC1 Milling System.
    Cement: Multilink® Automix, K123397.

    Ti Base (Interface) abutment design parameters for the zirconia superstructure are defined as follows:
    Minimum gingival height: 1.5 mm
    Minimum wall thickness: 0.43 mm
    Minimum post height for single-unit restorations: 4.75 mm (1)
    Maximum gingival height: 6.0 mm
    Maximum angulation of the final abutment 30° (2)

    The resulting final prosthetic restoration is screwed to the dental implant. All subject abutments are single-use and provided non-sterile. Final restoration (which includes the corresponding screw) is intended to be sterilized at the dental clinic before it is placed in the patient.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to IPD Dental Implant Abutments, a medical device, not an AI/ML-driven software product. Therefore, the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and study data for an AI/ML device (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, expert ground truthing, MRMC studies, standalone performance) is not applicable to this document.

    The document describes the device, its intended use, comparison to predicate devices, and the non-clinical performance testing conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence. These tests are physical and chemical in nature, not related to the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

    Here's a breakdown of why an AI/ML-focused response is not possible, based on the provided text:

    • Device Type: The device is "IPD Dental Implant Abutments," which are physical components used in dentistry (titanium alloy abutments, screws, designed for zirconia superstructures). It is not software, a diagnostic imaging tool, or an AI/ML algorithm.
    • Purpose of Submission: The submission aims to expand compatibility with new dental implant systems and include new angulations and in-house TiN coating. This is a modification of a physical medical device, not a new AI/ML development.
    • Performance Data (Section VII): This section explicitly lists non-clinical performance testing such as:
      • Sterilization validation (ISO 17665-1)
      • Biocompatibility testing (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation per ISO 10993)
      • Reverse engineering and dimensional analysis for compatibility
      • Validation of the digital workflow and software system (but this refers to the CAD/CAM software used to design the physical abutments, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool)
      • Static and dynamic fatigue testing (ISO 14801)
      • Modified Surfaces Information
      • MRI safety review

    Conclusion:

    The provided document describes a 510(k) clearance for a physical dental implant component. It does not contain any information about the acceptance criteria or study design for an AI/ML driven medical device. Therefore, a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to AI/ML, sample sizes for test/training sets, details on expert ground truthing, MRMC studies, or standalone performance of an algorithm cannot be extracted from this text.

    Intended Use

    The ISO Abutment is appropriate for use with overdentures or partial dentures retained in whole or in part by endosseous implants in the mandible or maxilla. The ISO Abutment is compatible with the following fixtures.

    Device Description

    The ISO Abutment is to be placed into the dental implant to provide support for a prosthetic restoration. The ISO Abutment is made from Titanium grade Ti-6AI-4V ELI (meets ASTM Standard F-136) and compatible with several fixtures made by 3rd party implant manufactures.

    AI/ML Overview

    This 510(k) clearance letter details the regulatory approval for the ISO Abutment, an endosseous dental implant abutment. It establishes its substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on similar indications for use, technological characteristics, materials, design, and sterilization methods.

    However, the provided document does not contain information related to software, artificial intelligence (AI), diagnostic accuracy studies, or clinical performance data typically associated with acceptance criteria tables, sample sizes for medical imaging datasets, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies. The device itself is a physical dental implant component, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool.

    Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (as these would be mechanical and biocompatibility tests, not diagnostic accuracy metrics)
    • Sample sizes used for the test set and data provenance (not applicable for this type of device)
    • Number of experts used to establish ground truth and qualifications (not applicable)
    • Adjudication method (not applicable)
    • MRMC comparative effectiveness study (not applicable)
    • Standalone (algorithm-only) performance (not applicable)
    • Type of ground truth used (e.g., pathology, outcomes data - not applicable for this device beyond engineering/material testing)
    • Sample size for the training set (not applicable)
    • How the ground truth for the training set was established (not applicable)

    The "Non-clinical Tests" section (Page 13) describes the types of studies performed for a physical device, which include:

    • Sterilization validation testing (ISO 17665-1 & 2)
    • Biocompatibility tests (ISO 10993-5, -10, -11, -3, -33) including:
      • Cytotoxicity
      • Oral mucosa irritation
      • Skin sensitization
      • Acute systemic toxicity
      • Subchronic systemic toxicity
      • Bacterial reverse mutation
    • Reverse engineering analysis of OEM implant body, abutment, and fixation screw (for compatibility verification)
    • TiN coating tests (F1044, F1147, F1160)
    • Non-clinical worst-case MRI review (using scientific evidence and published literature) to assess magnetic induction displacement force (ASTM F2052), magnetic induction torque (ASTM F2213), RF induction heating (ASTM F2182), and image artifact (ASTM F2119).

    These tests establish the physical, mechanical, and biological safety and compatibility of the dental abutment, rather than the diagnostic performance of an AI system.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for DESS® Dental Implants (K251280) does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a specific study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of AI/ML device performance.

    The document is a clearance letter for a dental implant system, which is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or treatment planning software. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML device performance (such as sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth) are not applicable to the content provided.

    The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on:

    • Intended Use and Indications for Use
    • Technological Characteristics (design, materials, surface treatment, sterilization methods, dimensions)

    Intended Use

    DESS Dental Smart Solutions abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants in the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for prosthetic restorations.

    All digitally designed custom abutments for use with DESS Bases or Pre-milled Blanks are to be sent to a Terrats Medical validated milling center for manufacture, or to be designed and manufactured according to the digital dentistry workflow. The digital dentistry workflow integrates multiple components: scan files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine, and associated tooling and accessories.

    Device Description

    The purpose of this submission is to expand the DESS Dental Smart Solutions abutment system cleared under K221301 and K240982 to allow additional options of zirconia material, scanners, CAM software, and milling machines to the digital dentistry workflow. The subject devices are to be sent to Terrats Medical validated milling centers for manufacture, or to be designed and manufactured via a digital dentistry workflow. The digital dentistry workflow integrates multiple components: scan files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD software, CAM software, titanium and ceramic material, milling machine, and associated tooling and accessories. There are no changes to the abutment design, implant compatibilities, or design parameters. All part numbers have been cleared for manufacturing via a validated milling center and digital dentistry workflows (also referred to as point of care) under K221301 and K240982.

    The subject device DESS Dental Smart Solutions abutments provide a range of prosthetic solutions for dental implant restoration. DESS abutments are offered in a variety of connection types to enable compatibility with currently marketed dental implants. All abutments are provided non-sterile, and each abutment is supplied with the appropriate abutment screw (if applicable) for attachment to the corresponding implant.

    Subject device Base Abutments are designed for fabrication of a patient-specific CAD/CAM zirconia superstructure on which a crown may be placed. They are two-piece abutments for which the second part (or top half) is the ceramic superstructure. They also may be used for support of a crown directly on the abutment.

    All patient-specific custom abutment fabrication for Base Abutments and Pre-milled (Blank) Abutments is by prescription on the order of the clinician. The subject device Pre-milled (Blank) Abutments and all zirconia superstructures for use with the subject device Ti Base Interface, DESS Aurum Base, ELLIPTIBase, and DESS C-Base will be manufactured using a validated milling center or a digital dentistry workflow. A validated milling center will be under FDA quality system regulations. The digital dentistry workflow scans files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD software, CAM software, titanium and ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories.

    The digital dentistry workflow uses scan files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) summary for DESS Dental Smart Solutions focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for dental implant abutments. It primarily addresses the expansion of compatible materials, scanners, CAM software, and milling machines within an existing digital dentistry workflow. The document does not describe an AI/ML-based device that would typically have acceptance criteria related to diagnostic performance.

    Therefore, many of the requested items related to AI/ML device performance (like acceptance criteria for diagnostic metrics, sample size for test sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details) are not applicable to this submission.

    The acceptance criteria and supporting "study" (non-clinical data) for this device are related to its mechanical performance, biocompatibility, and integration within the digital workflow, demonstrating that the expanded components maintain the safety and effectiveness of the previously cleared predicate devices.

    Here's a breakdown based on the information provided and the non-applicability of AI/ML-specific questions:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    Since this is not an AI/ML diagnostic device, the acceptance criteria are not in terms of traditional diagnostic metrics (sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, they are related to material properties, mechanical integrity, and the digital workflow's accuracy.

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (Summary from Submission)
    Mechanical Integrity / Compatibility- Fatigue testing of OEM implant bodies with patient-specific abutments made at worst-case angled conditions. (Implies successful completion to similar or better standards than predicate.)
    Biocompatibility- Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-12. (Implies successful demonstration of biocompatibility.)
    Sterilization- Sterilization validation according to ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2, and ISO 14937. (Implies successful validation for sterilization.)
    CAD Design Restrictions- Software verification included testing of restrictions that prevent design of components outside of the stated design parameters. - Abutment design library validated to demonstrate established design limitations are locked and cannot be modified by the user. (Implies successful implementation and verification of design constraints.)
    CAM Restriction Zones / Manufacturing Accuracy- Validation testing of CAM restriction zones conducted, including verification to show avoidance of damage or modifications of the connection geometry, and locking of restriction zones from user editing in CAM software. (Implies successful validation to ensure manufacturing precision and prevent damage.)
    Material Conformance- Zirconia materials conform to ISO 6872. - Titanium alloy conforms to ASTM F136. - Co-Cr-Mo alloy conforms to ASTM F15337. (Implies materials meet standards.)
    Physical Dimensions- Device encompasses the same range of physical dimensions as the predicate device. (Implies dimensional equivalence.)

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in terms of a "test set" for diagnostic performance. The validation involved physical testing of components (e.g., fatigue testing) and software verification. The specific number of abutments or digital design instances used for these non-clinical tests is not detailed in this summary.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of patient data for an AI/ML device. The "data" here refers to engineering and material testing results, likely conducted in controlled lab environments (implied to be in accordance with international standards like ISO and ASTM). The manufacturer is Terrats Medical SL, in Spain, so testing would likely originate from their facilities or contracted labs.

    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)

    Not applicable. This is not a diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" for this device relates to engineering specifications and material science.

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

    Not applicable. This is not a diagnostic device involving expert review adjudication.

    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 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 is not an AI/ML algorithm.

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

    For this device, the "ground truth" is based on:

    • Engineering Specifications: Defined design parameters (e.g., minimum wall thickness, post height, angulation limits).
    • Material Standards: Conformance to international standards such as ASTM F136, ISO 6872.
    • Benchmarking/Predicate Equivalence: Performance is assessed against established performance of the predicate devices and OEM implant systems.
    • Software Validation Logic: Verification that software correctly enforces design rules and CAD/CAM restrictions.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This device does not involve a machine learning training set.

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

    Not applicable. This device does not involve a machine learning training set.
