Intended Use

AcceleDent® Aura is intended for use during orthodontic treatment. It is used in conjunction with orthodontic appliances such as braces and helps facilitate minor anterior tooth movement.

Device Description

AcceleDent® Aura is an orthodontic accessory for the treatment of tooth malocclusion. It is used as an adjunctive therapy for patients with orthodontic appliances such as braces to help facilitate tooth movement. AcceleDent® Aura should be used by patients for twenty minutes per day in conjunction with standard orthodontic treatment.

AcceleDent® Aura includes the Activator, Mouthpiece and Travel Case. The Activator and connected Mouthpiece are used by patients to provide a light vibration to the teeth – the Activator vibrates at a 0.25 N (25 grams) force level and 30 Hz frequency for 20 minutes when turned-on; the vibration is transmitted from the Activator through the Mouthpiece to the patient's teeth as they lightly bite down on the Mouthpiece.

The Activator and Mouthpiece assembly is light, comfortable, hands-free, and can be used while multi-tasking or while engaged in a variety of other daily activities. The Travel Case is an enclosure that may be used to conceal, protect, and keep the AcceleDent® Aura Activator and Mouthpiece clean while not in use. The device includes a USB port, which can connect directly into a computer or power supply to recharge the battery. The USB port can also be connected to a computer to display usage data. A USB Cable and Power Adaptor are included to complete the system.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the AcceleDent Aura, an orthodontic accessory. It explicitly states: "No further clinical data were collected for AcceleDent® Aura." This means there isn't a new study demonstrating the device meets acceptance criteria as typically understood for new medical devices requiring clinical trials.

Instead, the submission relies on the concept of substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (AcceleDent, K110661). The acceptance criteria and "proof" in this context refer to engineering and performance testing comparing the new device (AcceleDent Aura) to the predicate device to ensure it performs safely and as intended, without significant differences in safety or effectiveness.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are implicitly that the AcceleDent Aura performs functionally equivalently to the predicate AcceleDent, particularly regarding the therapeutic vibration parameters and intended use. The performance data presented is primarily a comparison table that shows identical specifications for the core therapeutic elements.

Battery Life2.5 years2.0 years*Difference. Slightly reduced stated battery life (2.0 years vs 2.5 years, with deactivation after 18 months of daily use). Acceptance: The battery life is still sufficient for the intended treatment duration and designed to deactivate after accumulated usage, indicating a controlled obsolescence rather than a deficiency. This is disclosed and deemed acceptable.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of clinical testing for this 510(k) submission. The changes were evaluated through design control review, risk analysis (ISO 14971), and verification testing (IEC 60601 and device specifications), rather than a sample of patient data.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable for clinical data. The engineering and performance testing would have been conducted by the manufacturer, OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc., based in Bellaire, TX, USA. These are laboratory/bench tests, not patient-derived data.
  • Retrospective/Prospective: Not applicable.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable as there was no clinical test set for which ground truth needed to be established by experts. The "ground truth" for this 510(k) is the performance of the predicate device.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable as there was no clinical test set requiring adjudication.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This device is an orthodontic vibrating accessory, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • For this 510(k), the "ground truth" for performance is the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate device (AcceleDent, K110661), which was presumably demonstrated through its own testing and clinical data at the time of its 510(k) clearance. The AcceleDent Aura is deemed substantially equivalent because its modifications do not alter its fundamental scientific technology, intended use, or therapeutic parameters (output force, frequency).

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable, as no clinical training set was used for this 510(k) submission for the AcceleDent Aura device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable, as no clinical training set was used.
