The Axis System is an air-powered dental handpiece system indicated for use in general dentistry.

Device Description

The Axis System consists of air-powered dental handpieces with an electronic accessory to limit the speed.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary for the Axis System, a dental handpiece, does not contain the detailed information necessary to answer your request about acceptance criteria and study results.

Here's why:

  • Device Type: The Axis System is a dental handpiece, which is a mechanical device. The concept of "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" in the context of an AI/software device (which your questions are geared towards, e.g., sensitivity, specificity, ground truth, MRMC studies) is not directly applicable to this type of medical device.
  • Information Provided: The summary focuses on established safety and effectiveness through the prior use of its components and existing predicate devices (Rapidd Highspeed Dental Handpiece and eStylus Electric Motor System). It states, "All of the components found in the Axis System have been used in legally marketed devices and/or were found safe for dental use." It also mentions "performance data provided" and "biocompatibility information provided," but the specifics of what that performance data entails or what the acceptance criteria were for a mechanical device are not detailed within this summary.
  • Regulatory Pathway: This is a Class I device (Dental Handpiece and Accessories), which generally has a less stringent regulatory pathway compared to devices that diagnose or interpret medical images using AI. The 510(k) process for such a device primarily establishes substantial equivalence to a predicate device, focusing on similar indications for use and technological characteristics rather than requiring extensive clinical performance studies to meet AI-specific metrics.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or elaborations on AI-specific study details because the provided document does not contain information relevant to an AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) product.

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.

Page 2 - Ms. Lewis

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" (21CFR Part 807,97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
