Device Description

Seal & Protect™ Protective Varnish is a nanofilled light-curing dental varnish designed to protect exposed dentine areas, both mechanically and by way of an antimicrobial agent.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary describes a device (Seal & Protect™ Protective Sealant) that is considered substantially equivalent to a predicate device (Seal & Protect™ Protective Varnish K992822). The submission states that the new device is "identical to K992822, with the exception of the addition of a contraindication." Therefore, the focus is on demonstrating this equivalence rather than providing a separate study with acceptance criteria for the new device's performance.

Based on the provided document, there is no study conducted for Seal & Protect™ Protective Sealant to demonstrate its performance against specific acceptance criteria.

The entire premise of this 510(k) submission is that the new device is functionally the same as the predicate device, with only a minor change (an added contraindication). Therefore, the performance is assumed to be equivalent to the predicate device, for which performance would have been established previously.

Here's a breakdown based on your requested information, highlighting why much of it is not applicable or not provided in this specific 510(k) summary:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Not applicableNot applicable

Explanation: This 510(k) relies on substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Seal & Protect™ Protective Varnish K992822) rather than presenting new performance data against acceptance criteria for the "new" device. The claim is that the device is "identical... with the exception of the addition of a contraindication," implying its performance is the same as the predicate.


Regarding a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria: There is no study described in this 510(k) pertaining to the performance of Seal & Protect™ Protective Sealant against specific acceptance criteria. The submission is a claim of substantial equivalence based on the device being nearly identical to a previously cleared product.

Therefore, the following points are not applicable or cannot be answered from the provided text:

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable, as no new performance study is described.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.

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 a dental sealant, not an AI 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 algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable.

8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Dear Mr. Lehn:

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.

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.
