AI/ML Overview

This FDA submission pertains to a dental device (IPS Empress® Direct Color and IPS Empress® Direct Opaque), which is a tooth shade resin material. These types of devices do not typically involve AI/ML components or require the detailed performance studies described in your request (e.g., MRMC, standalone algorithm performance, ground truth establishment by experts for AI evaluation).

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information because the provided document does not discuss:

  • Acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the context of AI/ML
  • Sample sizes for test sets or training sets for an AI algorithm
  • Data provenance for AI training/testing
  • Number of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth for AI
  • Adjudication methods for AI test sets
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies
  • Standalone algorithm performance
  • Type of ground truth used for AI development/evaluation

The document is a 510(k) clearance letter for a dental material, establishing its substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on its intended use and general controls provisions. It does not involve any AI/ML components, and thus, the detailed AI-centric performance criteria and study descriptions you've requested are not applicable to this particular device.
