MOUTHGUARD AND ALIGNER MATERIALS are indicated for the fabrication of orthodontic and dental appliances such as aligners, bite planes, mouthguards, nightguards, snoring appliances, splints, retainers, repositioners, and temporary bridges.
MOUTHGUARD AND ALIGNER MATERIALS are plastic, resin, or laminate materials that are sold for the purpose of making various dental and/or orthodontic appliances such as aligners, bite planes, mouthguards, nightguards, snoring appliances, splints, retainers, repositioners, and temporary bridges. Each material is indicated for the fabrication of orthodontic and dental appliances. Each material is recommended for the construction of specific Class I and II dental devices and appliances. In most cases, the sheets are thermoformed and trimmed to create custom devices or appliances.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for "MOUTHGUARD AND ALIGNER MATERIALS." This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and detailing the intended use and technological characteristics of the materials.
It does NOT contain information about specific acceptance criteria related to device performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy), nor does it describe any study involving human readers, ground truth establishment, or sample sizes for testing or training sets.
The summary states: "We believe that the prior use of the components in legally marketed devices and the data provided support the safety and effectiveness of MOUTHGUARD AND ALIGNER MATERIALS for the indicated uses." This indicates that the safety and effectiveness were supported by relying on the known properties of the materials and their previous use in other legally marketed devices, rather than a clinical performance study of the materials themselves against a set of predefined acceptance criteria in the manner requested.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, expert involvement, or comparative effectiveness studies based on the provided text.

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.

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 (QS) 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 (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
