Device Description

Ducera® AllCeram is an all-ceramic system for veneering of aluminum oxide cores or tooth preparations.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a dental product, Ducera® AllCeram. It does not contain information about a study that assesses device performance against acceptance criteria in the way typically expected for medical imaging AI or diagnostic devices. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on material composition and prior use of components.

Therefore, many of the requested sections about study design, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment are not applicable.

Here's the information that can be extracted or inferred from the document:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or performance metrics for the Ducera® AllCeram. The basis for acceptance is rooted in its "nearly equivalent material composition" and "similarity in the formulations" to the predicate device, VITADUR® ALPHA Porcelain (K921623).

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred)Reported Device Performance (Inferred)
Material composition and formulation similar to legally marketed predicate devices."Nearly equivalent material composition of Ducera® AllCeram to the predicate device" and "similarity in the formulations to those legally marketed devices."
Components previously used in legally marketed devices."All of the components found in Ducera® AllCeram have been used in legally marketed devices."
Safety and effectiveness for the intended use (veneering of aluminum oxide cores or tooth preparations).Supported by the "prior use of the components in legally marketed devices, the similarity in the formulations to those legally marketed devices, and the performance data provided." (Note: "performance data provided" is not detailed in this summary).

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

Not applicable. This is a material substantial equivalence submission, not a performance study involving a test set of data/images.

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)

Not applicable. Ground truth for a test set is not relevant to this type of submission.

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

Not applicable.

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

Not applicable. This device is a dental material, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

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

Not applicable.

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

Not applicable. The "ground truth" used for this submission is the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate device's material composition and components.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of this material evaluation.

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

Not applicable.

TRADE OR PROPRIETARY NAME:Ducera® AllCeram
CLASSIFICATION NAME:Porcelain powders for clinical use (872.6660)
PREDICATE DEVICES:VITADUR® ALPHA Porcelain K921623

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: Ducera® AllCeram is an all-ceramic system for veneering of aluminum oxide cores or tooth preparations.

INTENDED USE: Ducera® AllCeram is an all-ceramic system for veneering of aluminum oxide cores or tooth preparations.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: All of the components found in Ducera® AllCeram have been used in legally marketed devices.

Because of the nearly equivalent material composition of Ducera® AllCeram to the predicate device, no additional toxicity testing was necessary.

We believe that the prior use of the components in legally marketed devices, the similarity in the formulations to those legally marketed devices, and the performance data provided support the safety and effectiveness of Ducera® AllCeram for the intended use.

Dear Ms. Lewis:

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.
