Intended Use

CLEARFIL AP-X PLT is indicated for the following applications:

  1. Class I, II, V restorations of posterior teeth
  2. Class III, IV, V restorations of anterior teeth
  3. Cervical cavities or defects involving root surfaces
Device Description

This product is classified into Tooth shade Resin Material, CFR 29 Section 872.3690, because it is a device composed of materials such as bisphenol A glycidylmethacrylate (Bis-GMA) intended to restore carious or structural defects in teeth.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary describes a new dental restorative material, CLEARFIL AP-X PLT, which is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared device, CLEARFIL AP-X. Due to this substantial equivalence claim for a dental material, the provided document does not contain information typically found in studies for AI/ML-powered medical devices. Therefore, I cannot provide a detailed response for points 2 through 9 as they are not applicable or the information is not present in the provided text.

Here's what I can extract and infer based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given that this is a 510(k) for a dental material, "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" are typically related to material properties (e.g., strength, biocompatibility, setting time, wear resistance, color stability) which are evaluated against industry standards or the predicate device's established performance. The submission is based on substantial equivalence, implying that the new device meets or performs similarly to the predicate.

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (CLEARFIL AP-X PLT)
Technological CharacteristicsSubstantially the same as CLEARFIL AP-X (K012740)
Chemical IngredientsSubstantially the same as CLEARFIL AP-X (K012740)
SafetySubstantially the same as CLEARFIL AP-X (K012740)
Intended UseSame as CLEARFIL AP-X (K012740)
ClassificationSame as CLEARFIL AP-X (K012740) - Tooth shade resin material, 21 CFR 872.3690

Study Proving Acceptance Criteria:
The document states, "This device is substantially same to CLEARFIL AP-X manufactured by Kuraray Medical Inc. (K012740). Therefore CLEARFIL AP-X and CLEARFIL AP-X PLT are substantially equivalent on the technological characteristics, chemical ingredients and safety."

This statement implies that the "study" proving acceptance criteria is a comparison of the new device (CLEARFIL AP-X PLT) to its predicate device (CLEARFIL AP-X) across these characteristics. However, the details of this comparative study (e.g., specific tests, methodologies, results of material properties) are not included in this 510(k) summary. These details would typically be in the full submission, but not in the summary document.

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

This information is not applicable to this type of 510(k) submission for a dental composite material, which does not involve a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML device. The "test" here refers to material testing or equivalence comparisons, not clinical image or diagnostic data.

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 applicable. "Ground truth" in the context of expert consensus or clinical diagnosis is not relevant for this material-based device submission.

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

This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used for establishing ground truth in diagnostic studies, not for material equivalence comparisons.

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

This information is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device.

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

This information is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device.

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

This information is not applicable in the typical sense. For a dental material, "ground truth" might refer to established physical, chemical, and biological properties measured by standardized tests, rather than clinical diagnostic ground truth. The basis for declaring equivalence is a comparison of these material properties, not a diagnostic outcome.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device.

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

This information is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device.

Dear Ms. Sasaki:

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 - Ms. Masaya Sasaki

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.
