AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain the necessary information to answer your request. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a dental adhesive (3M™ Unitek™ APC™ Plus Adhesive). It confirms that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices and outlines regulatory requirements. However, it does not include any details about acceptance criteria for performance, studies demonstrating performance, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or ground truth establishment. These details are typically found in the 510(k) submission itself or in associated studies, not in the clearance letter.

Dear Ms. Scheff:

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.

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.
