Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a dental alloy device (Starcast Dental Alloys). It is a regulatory document and does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment relevant to the questions asked.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from this document. The document primarily focuses on:

  • Device Name: Starcast Dental Alloys
  • Regulation Number: 21 CFR 872.3060
  • Regulation Name: Gold-based Alloys and Precious Metal Alloys for Clinical Use
  • Regulatory Class: II
  • Product Code: EJT
  • Indications for Use: Dental casting Type III alloys intended for manufacturing: Crowns, Short Span Bridges, Inlays
  • FDA Determination: Substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
  • General Controls: Requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

To answer your questions, I would need a technical study report, a submission summary, or a similar document describing the actual performance testing of the device.
