Intended Use

The KJ Submerged System is indicated for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of single or multiple-unit restorations including; cemented retained, screw retained, or overdenture restorations, and terminal or intermediate abutment support for fixed bridgework. This system is dedicated for one and two stage surgical procedures and not dedicated for immediate loading.

Device Description

The KJ Submerged System replaces the root of a missing tooth and is made from surgical grade titanium alloy(Ti-6Al-4V) to exacting specifications. The KJ Submerged system is comprised of only two components, implant, which is the portion that goes into the jaw bone, and the abutment, which fits into the implant and provides a solid base for a crown or a denture. KJ Submerged System's locking taper provides a tight seal at the implant to abutment interface, minimizing the gap. The sloping shoulder affords felxibility at time of implant placement.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the "KJ Submerged System," which is a dental implant. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than conducting extensive clinical studies with specific acceptance criteria tied to human or AI performance. Therefore, many of the requested elements for a study proving device performance against acceptance criteria for AI/human reader performance are not applicable here.

However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the non-clinical testing performed and the basis for substantial equivalence.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, with explanations for why certain sections are not applicable:

Acceptance Criteria and Study Details for KJ Submerged System (Dental Implant)

This submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical testing and comparison of characteristics, rather than a clinical study with detailed acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance or AI effectiveness.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Non-Clinical)Reported Device Performance
Strength appropriate for intended use (conformance to ISO 14801)Results confirmed the strength of the system. (Implied acceptance based on conformance to standard)
Same intended use as predicate deviceHas the same intended use (Confirmed through comparison)
Same operating principle as predicate deviceUses the same operating principle (Confirmed through comparison)
Same basic design as predicate deviceIncorporates the same basic design (Confirmed through comparison)
Same material and surface treatment as predicate deviceIncorporates the same material and the surface treatment (Confirmed through comparison)
Similar range of physical dimensions to predicate deviceEncompass the similar range of physical dimensions, including diameter and length of the implants, and diameter and height of the abutments (Confirmed through comparison)

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of a clinical study or AI model evaluation. The "testing" referred to is non-clinical, specifically mechanical fatigue testing. The sample size for ISO 14801 Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic fatigue tests is not explicitly stated in the provided text, but such standards typically prescribe a minimum number of samples.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable as this is a non-clinical, in-vitro mechanical test, not data from human subjects.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable. Ground truth in this context would refer to objective measurements from mechanical testing, not expert interpretation of diagnostic images or patient outcomes.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. There was no adjudication of expert opinions; the testing was mechanical.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This device is a dental implant, and the submission is for substantial equivalence based on non-clinical testing and comparison to predicate devices, not an evaluation of human reader performance with or without AI assistance.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This is a physical medical device (dental implant), not an AI algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing was objective physical measurements and adherence to specified performance metrics as defined by the ISO 14801 standard for dynamic fatigue tests of endosseous dental implants.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. There is no concept of a "training set" in this context, as it's a physical device and not an AI or machine learning model.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. There is no training set for this type of device submission.
