AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental adhesive device named "SIMPLE." The document primarily focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, Clearfil™ SE BOND.

However, the document does not contain specific details about acceptance criteria, a formal study protocol, or performance metrics in a way that would allow for a comprehensive table and detailed answers to all the questions posed.

Here's an analysis of the available information and what cannot be answered from this document:

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

The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in terms of numerical performance targets (e.g., bond strength thresholds, success rates). Instead, it relies on a qualitative comparison to the predicate device for "significant performance characteristics."

CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Performance (SIMPLE)Predicate Performance (Clearfil SE BOND)
Intended UseSubstantially equivalent to predicateDesigned to reduce steps in preparing dentin and enamel for composite adhesionDesigned to reduce steps in preparing dentin and enamel for composite adhesion
Product DescriptionSubstantially equivalent to predicateOne clear yellow solution; One white slurryTwo clear solutions
Delivery SystemSubstantially equivalent to predicateTwo solutions in separate bottles or in a two-chamber unit dose packageTwo solutions in separate bottles package
BiocompatibilityNon-toxicBiocompatibility tested; cytotoxicity and acute oral toxicity found to be non-toxic(Not explicitly stated for predicate in this summary, but implicitly acceptable)

Important Note: The "acceptance criteria" here are inferred to be "substantially equivalent to the predicate device" for the listed characteristics. No quantitative thresholds are provided.

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

This information is not provided in the summary. The document mentions "Side by side comparisons of SIMPLE to the predicate device," but does not detail the nature of these comparisons, the sample sizes, or the study design (retrospective/prospective, country of origin).

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)

This information is not provided. The document does not describe a process for establishing ground truth as it would for image-based diagnostic devices or complex clinical trials. The evaluation seems to be based on product characteristics and biocompatibility testing rather than expert-adjudicated clinical outcomes for the "test set" in the sense of a diagnostic study.

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

This information is not provided. Given the nature of the "significant performance characteristics" described (intended use, product description, delivery system), a formal adjudication method as understood in clinical trials for diagnostic devices is unlikely to have been applied or documented in this summary.

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

An MRMC study is not applicable and not mentioned in this document. This typically applies to diagnostic devices where human readers interpret images or data, and AI assists in that interpretation. The "SIMPLE" device is a dental adhesive, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool.

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

A "standalone algorithm" performance is not applicable and not mentioned. This device is a physical dental adhesive, not a software algorithm.

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

For the "significant performance characteristics" discussed, the "ground truth" seems to be based on:

  • Manufacturer specifications and composition: for product description and delivery system.
  • Biocompatibility testing results: for non-toxicity.
  • Intended use statements: For comparison of application.

There is no mention of pathology, expert consensus on clinical outcomes, or large-scale outcomes data being used to establish "ground truth" for the performance comparison described.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not provided. The concept of a "training set" doesn't directly apply here, as this isn't an AI/machine learning device. If interpreted broadly as "samples used for development and preliminary testing," that information is not detailed.

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

As in point 8, the concept of a "training set" and its "ground truth" establishment in the context of AI/ML is not applicable to this dental adhesive device.


Summary of what the document indicates:

The document serves as a 510(k) summary demonstrating "substantial equivalence" of the "SIMPLE" dental adhesive to a legally marketed predicate device, Clearfil™ SE BOND. The primary evidence presented for this equivalence is a side-by-side comparison of intended use, product description, and delivery system, alongside biocompatibility testing results for "SIMPLE." It does not provide the detailed study protocols, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or quantitative performance metrics typically associated with the questions asked, particularly those relevant to AI/diagnostic device evaluation.

Dear Mr. Smith:

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 your 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Mr. Smith

You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain_html
