Intended Use

The Custom-made Invisible Aligners is indicated for the treatment of tooth malocclusion in patients with permanent dentition (i.e., all second molars). The Custom-made Invisible Aligner positions teeth by way of continuous gentle force.

Device Description

The Custom-made Invisible Aligners System is a series of dental aligners that fabricated of clear, thin thermoformed plastic to progressively reposition the teeth. The product is made from a composite multilayer material with thermoplastic polyurethane and polyethylene terephthalate-1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol ester (TPU+PETG). Corrective force to reposition the teeth is delivered via minor changes into a position in each subsequent aligner. They are designed to move the teeth to the target position and deliver desired clinical effect.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "Custom-made Invisible Aligners." This document describes the device, its intended use, comparison to predicate devices, and the non-clinical testing performed to establish substantial equivalence.

However, the 510(k) summary explicitly states:
"H. Clinical Test Conclusion: No clinical study is included in this submission."

Therefore, based on the provided text, there is no information available regarding acceptance criteria based on clinical performance, nor any study proving the device meets such criteria through human clinical data. The document focuses solely on non-clinical testing to demonstrate performance and safety.

Even though the request asks for specific details about the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria, the provided document does not contain this information because no clinical studies were performed or included in the submission.

To directly address the request while accurately reflecting the content of the document:

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

Based on the non-clinical testing described, the acceptance criteria relate to material properties, manufacturing accuracy, and biocompatibility.

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Test/PropertyAcceptance Criteria (Implied/Directly Stated)Reported Device Performance
Performance TestingThickness, appearance, odor, density, water absorption, dissolution, color stability, tear resistance, Tensile modulus of elasticityCompliance with pertinent standards and specifications, expectations of the dental community, and product labelingDevice is in compliance and demonstrates effectiveness. Results showed conformity with pre-established specifications and acceptance criteria.
Manufacturing Accuracy3D molding and aligner molding accuracyMeet pre-established specificationsChecked for aligners from 12 different patient cases (beginning, middle, end of sequence); met pre-established specifications.

GenotoxicityMet requirements of study protocols (implies no genotoxic effects)Met requirements of study protocols.
Software V&VFunctionality, safety, effectivenessDevice is as safe and effective as the predicatesDocumentation provided as recommended by FDA guidance; "moderate" level of concern.

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

  • Sample Size: For manufacturing accuracy validation, aligners from "12 different patient case" were evaluated. No other specific sample sizes are mentioned for the general performance or biocompatibility testing (e.g., number of material samples for tensile strength).
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the applicant (Zhejiang Yinchili Medical Technology Co., Ltd.) is based in China, suggesting the testing was likely conducted in China or by labs contracted by a Chinese company.
  • Retrospective/Prospective: Not applicable, as these were non-clinical bench and lab tests, not clinical studies involving patients.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable. The "ground truth" for non-clinical tests is established by adherence to recognized standards (e.g., ISO 10993) and pre-established specifications, not by expert consensus on clinical findings.

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

  • Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 are used in clinical studies for interpretation of results, especially imaging. This document describes non-clinical testing.

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:

  • No. The document explicitly states, "No clinical study is included in this submission." This device is a physical medical device (aligners), not an AI-based diagnostic or assistive software.

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

  • No. This section is generally relevant for AI/ML devices. The device described is a physical aligner. While there is software for ordering/processing, its V&V focused on its function in facilitating the device, not its standalone diagnostic performance.

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

  • For material performance and manufacturing accuracy: Ground truth was established by pre-established specifications, engineering principles, and compliance with recognized standards (e.g., ISO for biocompatibility).
  • For biocompatibility: Ground truth was based on the results of specific biological tests (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, sub chronic systemic toxicity, genotoxicity) interpreted against the requirements of ISO 10993.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical product, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set of data.

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

  • Not applicable (see point 8).

G. Non-clinical Test

1) Performance Testing

Bench testing has demonstrated that the device is in compliance with pertinent standards and specifications, the expectations of the dental community and the product labeling. Performance testing was performed to the subject device including thickness, appearance, odor, density, water absorption, dissolution, color stability, tear resistance, Tensile modulus of elasticity to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Manufacturing validation accuracy testing

Manufacturing accuracy validation were conducted to the Custom-made Invisible Aligners. Aligners from 12 different patient case were evaluated at the beginning, middle and end throughout the sequence. The accuracy of 3D molding and aligner molding are checked and meet the pre-established specification. The suitability, function and form of the aligner were checked and comparing it to the treatment design in the software, and the results were complied with the pre-established specifications and acceptance criteria.

Shelf life – 3 years

A 3-year shelf life was determined by accelerated aging testing. Performance testing were conducted after 81 days of accelerated aging under 60°C. The test results showed conformity with the pre-established specifications and acceptance criteria.

2) Biocompatibility Testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the device was conducted in accordance with "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation and testing within a risk management process -- Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff" as recognized by FDA. The aligner is considered mucosal membrane contacting for a duration of greater than 30 days. The testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity ●
  • Irritation

{7}------------------------------------------------

K223454

  • Sensitization
  • Sub chronic systemic toxicity
  • Genotoxicity

The results of the testing met the requirements of the study protocols and the material is considered non-toxic, non-sensitizing and is not an intracutaneous irritant. The results of the studies further support a determination of substantial equivalence.

  1. Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted on the software that facilitates ordering and processing of the Custom-made Invisible Aligner to support that the device is as safe and effective as the predicates. Documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern.

H. Clinical Test Conclusion

No clinical study is included in this submission.

l. Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device K203624.
