AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a dental alloy named "Bright Gold." It does not describe the acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria from an AI/algorithm perspective.

Instead, this document is related to a conventional medical device (a dental alloy) and its clearance is based on substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than performance against pre-defined acceptance criteria for an AI model.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from this document. The questions you've asked are specific to AI/Machine Learning device studies and their performance validation, which is not covered in this FDA clearance letter for a physical material.

Dear Mr. Gulati:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting vour device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
