This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for an orthodontic bracket system. It is not a study report and therefore does not contain the detailed information requested regarding acceptance criteria, device performance results, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment.
A 510(k) clearance letter primarily assesses substantial equivalence to a predicate device and does not typically include a detailed performance study with specific acceptance criteria and results in the manner a clinical trial report or a comprehensive validation study would.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the given document as it does not contain details about:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications
- Adjudication method for the test set
- If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or the effect size of human readers improving with AI vs without AI assistance
- If a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done
- The type of ground truth used
- The sample size for the training set
- How the ground truth for the training set was established
This document only confirms that the FDA reviewed the premarket notification and determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Hutchins:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
