Ceraloy alloy is intended to be used by dentists and dental laboratories for the fabrication of custom made dental devices such as onlays, ¼ crowns, veneers, inlays long and short span bridgework and PFM restorations.
Ceraloy
It appears the provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a dental alloy named "Ceraloy." This type of document primarily confirms that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device.
This document does NOT contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, expert ground truth adjudication, or any details typically associated with AI/ML device evaluations.
The FDA 510(k) clearance process for a material like a dental alloy focuses on comparing its characteristics (e.g., composition, mechanical properties, biocompatibility) to an already approved predicate device, rather than conducting new clinical performance studies as would be required for a novel diagnostic or AI-driven device.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information based on the provided text. To answer your questions, I would need a document detailing the results of a performance study for an AI/ML medical device.

Dear Mr. Andrachek:
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.

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.
