Intended Use

PacSeal™ Pit & Fissure Sealant is intended for use as:

  • Seal the pits and fissures in teeth
Device Description

PacSeal™ Pit & Fissure Sealant is a fluoride releasing, light-cured acrylate resin designed to fill and seal the pits and fissures of teeth.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the PacSeal™ Pit & Fissure Sealant as derived from the provided document:

This document is a 510(k) summary, which typically focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a full clinical study with specific acceptance criteria in the manner of a novel device. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the comparison to the predicate device's performance characteristics.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as pass/fail thresholds. Instead, it compares the subject device's performance to that of predicate devices, implicitly suggesting that performance comparable to or better than the predicate is acceptable.

Performance CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate)Reported Device Performance (PacSeal™ Pit & Fissure Sealant)
Depth of Cure (ISO 6874-2005)Comparable to or better than 1.86 mm (3M™ Clinpro™ Sealant)Complies (with ISO 6874-2005)
Compressive StrengthComparable to or better than 210 MPa (3M™ Clinpro™ Sealant)181 MPa
Diametral Tensile StrengthComparable to or better than 37 MPa (3M™ Clinpro™ Sealant)Subject device is equivalent to the predicate device
Film ThicknessComparable to or better than 10 µm (3M™ Clinpro™ Sealant)Subject device is equivalent to the predicate device
Flexural Strength (ISO 4049-2009)Comparable to or better than 110 MPa (3M™ Clinpro™ Sealant)Complies (with ISO 4049-2009)
Light Curing Time (ISO 6874-2005)30 sec (matches 3M™ Clinpro™ Sealant)30 sec
Shear Bond Strength to Etched EnamelComparable to or better than 8.12 MPa (3M™ Clinpro™ Sealant)Subject device is equivalent to the predicate device

Note: For "Compressive Strength," the subject device (181 MPa) is lower than the predicate (210 MPa). The document still concludes substantial equivalence, suggesting that this difference was deemed acceptable in the context of overall performance and "equivalent to the predicate" claim for other properties.

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

The document does not specify the sample sizes used for the performance tests (e.g., number of specimens for depth of cure, strength tests).
The data provenance is not explicitly stated beyond being presented in a 510(k) summary by Pac-Dent International, Inc. These types of tests are typically in-vitro laboratory tests, not clinical studies with patient data.

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

This type of information is not applicable to the data provided. The "ground truth" for these physical property tests is based on standardized laboratory measurements (e.g., ISO standards) and not on expert consensus from human readers or clinicians.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable as the tests are for physical properties measured in a lab, not for diagnostic or interpretive tasks requiring adjudication.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This document describes the physical and chemical characteristics of a dental sealant, not an AI or imaging device that would typically undergo MRMC studies.

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

No, this is not relevant to the device described. The device is a physical dental sealant, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the performance characteristics (e.g., depth of cure, strength, film thickness) is based on standardized laboratory test methods (e.g., ISO 6874-2005, ISO 4049-2009).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This is not applicable. The device is a physical product, not an algorithm that requires a training set.

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

This is not applicable for the same reason as above.

Dear Ms. Zhu:

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.
