2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each of the non-clinical tests or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The tests listed are primarily bench tests on the material itself, not clinical studies involving human subjects or real-world data collection. The tests seem to be conducted in a laboratory setting as part of the material characterization.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
Not applicable. The tests performed are objective, quantitative material property tests according to international standards (ISO). Ground truth in this context is established by the specified standards and measured values, not by expert consensus or interpretation of images/cases.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable. As noted above, the tests are objective material property measurements against defined standards. There is no need for an adjudication method for interpreting results.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a dental material, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device used by human readers for interpretation.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:
Not applicable. This device is a dental material. The performance tests are specific to the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the material itself.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth used for these tests is based on the objective requirements and criteria specified in international standards (ISO 6872, ISO 10993-3, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11) and internal bench testing requirements. This is essentially definitive physical/chemical/biological measurement standards.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. This is a material, not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The subject device has the same intended use and the same principle of operation as the predicate devices. The subject device and the predicate devices might have a slight difference in compositions but all the devices have SiO2, Li2O, K2O, P2O5, and Al2O3 as major components. Despite this difference, the test results per ISO 6872 shows that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in physical and chemical properties and meets the necessary requirements.
In addition, the subject device has been tested for Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), Sensitization (ISO 10993-10), and Irritation (ISO 10993-10) to meet the biocompatibility requirements.
Based on the test results and the information provided in this submission, we conclude that the subject device is substantially equipment to the predicate devices.
11. Conclusion:
Based on the testing results, HASS CORP. concludes that the Amber Mill Series and Amber Press Series are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
§ 872.6660 Porcelain powder for clinical use.
(a)
Identification. Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.(b)
