AI/ML Overview

The provided text contains information about the "Quartz Splint" dental device and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not include details about specific acceptance criteria, a standalone study proving meeting those criteria, or a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.

Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on:

Similar technological characteristics to predicate devices.
Compliance with an international standard (ISO 4049:2009 for physical and mechanical properties and ISO 10993-5 for biological evaluation).
No new clinical studies were utilized for the purpose of obtaining safety or effectiveness data with the Quartz Splint.

Here's a breakdown of the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Acceptance Criteria	Reported Device Performance
Physical and Mechanical Properties (ISO 4049:2009)	The testing results indicate that the subject and predicate devices comply with the requirements of ISO 4049:2009. Internal and external tests demonstrate that QUARTZ SPLINT system compared to the predicate devices performs as well as, or better, in mechanical features which are the main function for a splint.
Biological Evaluation (ISO 10993-5 - Cytotoxicity)	Conducted, and results comply with the requirements.

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

No information is provided regarding a distinct "test set" with a specified sample size for this specific device. The evaluation relies on compliance with ISO standards and comparison to predicate devices, implying standard testing for material properties rather than a clinical "test set" in the context of diagnostic device assessment. No data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is specified for performance testing, other than "Internal and external tests."

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

This is not applicable as the device's performance is assessed against ISO standards for material properties and biological safety, not against a "ground truth" established by experts for a diagnostic task.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable for the reasons stated above.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission explicitly states: "No clinical studies were utilized for the purpose of obtaining safety or effectiveness data."

6. If a Standalone Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done:

The "performance" section refers to physical, mechanical, and biological evaluations according to ISO standards. This can be considered a standalone evaluation of the material properties and biological response, without human-in-the-loop performance, as it concerns the device itself rather than a diagnostic interpretation task. However, it's not a standalone study demonstrating performance in a diagnostic or clinical scenario in the way a medical AI algorithm would be evaluated.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The "ground truth" for the device's performance appears to be established by:

International Standards: ISO 4049:2009 for physical and mechanical properties and ISO 10993-5 for biological evaluation.
Comparative Performance to Predicate Devices: The device is stated to perform "as well as or better" than predicate devices in mechanical features.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This device is a material/medical device, not an AI algorithm that requires a "training set" in the conventional machine learning sense. The "training" here would be related to the manufacturing processes to ensure the material meets specifications.

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

Not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

To the right of the logo, there is text that reads "RECHERCHES TECHNIQUES DENTAIRES" in a smaller, sans-serif font. The text is stacked vertically, with "RECHERCHES" at the top, "TECHNIQUES" in the middle, and "DENTAIRES" at the bottom. There is a small triangle pointing to the left before the word "DENTAIRES".

13. Technological characteristics:

The predicate devices are made of continuous glass fibers/polyethylene fibers. The predicate devices are offered in a dry, non-impregnated fibers or in a light-cured resin impregnated fibers. QUARTZ SPLINT have the same technological characteristics as these predicate devices as they are made of continuous quartz fibers impregnated in a light-cured resin. Polymerization or curing is the same for all these devices with help of halogen or LED dental light system. A flowable nano-hybrid, light-cured composite especially designed for use with the fiber products for the stabilization/splinting of mobile teeth is available. All predicate devices have the same intended use as QUARTZ SPLINT system.

14. Performance

Physical and mechanical properties testing of the subject and predicate devices have been evaluated according to ISO 4049:2009. The testing results indicate that the subject and predicate device comply with the requirements of ISO 4049:2009. Internal and external tests demonstrate that QUARTZ SPLINT system compared to the predicate devices perform as well as equal or better in mechanical features which are the main function for a splint.

Biological evaluation such as cytotoxicity tests (according to ISO 10993-5) has been conducted. and results comply with the requirements.

15. Conclusion

In vitro tests and clinical evaluation demonstrate that the QUARTZ SPLINT system (subject device) is substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the predicate device.
