Dental casting Type III alloys intended for manufacturing: Crowns Short Span Bridges Inlays
Not Found
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.

Dear Mr. Devine:
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. 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 (OS) 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.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Also, please note the regulation entitled.
