AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the DUCERAM® PLUS CERAMIC SYSTEM, a dental ceramic veneering system. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance, or any studies conducted to prove the device meets acceptance criteria.

The summary primarily focuses on:

  • Identification: Name, address, contact, date prepared, trade/proprietary name, classification name.
  • Predicate Device: K871808 DUCERAM Metal Ceramic Dental Porcelain System.
  • Device Description: It's a dental ceramic veneering system for metal framework and copings, used by dental technicians for crowns and bridges. It specifies the components included in both the original DUCERAM and the DUCERAM® PLUS SYSTEM.
  • Intended Use: Veneering metal framework and copings for the preparation of crowns and bridges.
  • Technological Characteristics: All components have been used in legally marketed devices. The formulations are very similar to legally marketed devices and have not changed in a way that would adversely affect biocompatibility, thus no additional biocompatibility testing was deemed necessary.
  • Safety and Effectiveness Claim: The manufacturer believes prior use of components, similarity in formulations, and performance data support safety and effectiveness.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information in the format of a table or describe a study, as the input text does not contain such details. This document is a regulatory submission for substantial equivalence based on similarity to a predicate device, not a performance study report.
