This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a dental device called "Vita VM® Porcelain Powder for Clinical Use." It grants clearance based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
Crucially, this document does NOT contain information about acceptance criteria, a specific study proving the device meets those criteria, or any details related to sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth establishment.
The letter is a regulatory approval document and focuses on:
- Device Identification: Trade Name, Regulation Number, Regulation Name, Product Code.
- Regulatory Classification: Class II.
- Substantial Equivalence: The FDA has determined the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.
- Conditions of Marketing: Subject to general controls (registration, listing, GMP, labeling) and potentially additional controls for Class II devices.
- Indications for Use: Vita VM® porcelains are indicated as a veneering material for fixed prostheses (crowns, bridges, dental implant abutments)
- User: By or on the order of a dental professional (DDS or DMD).
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based solely on the provided text. The information requested typically comes from a detailed "510(k) Summary" or the full "510(k) Premarket Notification" submission itself, which would include performance data and testing details. This letter is the FDA's response to that submission, not the submission itself.
