Zmaxx T Series is used in the manufacture of dental prosthetics.

Device Description

Zmaxx T Series is zirconia-based ceramic provided in various shapes such as round and square and it is used to manufacture cores of all ceramic crowns, and is classified into ISO 6872 Type 2 Class 4. It is used to manufacture ceramic restorations through cutting process by dental MAD/MAM, computer-assisted design system, or CAD/CAM system. The subject device offers three different shades to meet the needs of different patients tooth colors. It also offers various shape types to be used with various jigs for CAD/CAM milling machine.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the Zmaxx T Series, a zirconia-based ceramic used in the manufacture of dental prosthetics. The submission is a 510(k) summary, aiming to establish substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for the Zmaxx T Series are based on conformity to international standards, primarily ISO 6872 for dental ceramics, and ISO 10993 for biocompatibility.

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

The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of units or specimens) used for each of the non-clinical tests (e.g., flexural strength, chemical solubility, biocompatibility). It only states that "All the test results support substantial equivalence to the predicate devices."

The data provenance is not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin or whether it was retrospective or prospective. It is implied that the testing was conducted by the manufacturer, Maxx Digm, Inc., or its contract manufacturer (DMAX Co., Ltd.) to support the 510(k) submission.

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

This document describes a non-clinical performance and biocompatibility study for a dental material (zirconia-based ceramic). It does not involve human subjects, image analysis, or diagnostic tasks that would typically require independent expert review or "ground truth" establishment in the way described (e.g., radiologists interpreting images). The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by the specified ISO standards and the quantitative measurement methods outlined within those standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The study is a non-clinical laboratory evaluation against specified ISO standards and does not involve subjective interpretations or the need for adjudication among multiple reviewers.

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

No. This is a non-clinical evaluation of a medical device material against established performance standards and predicate devices. MRMC studies are typically used for diagnostic devices that involve human interpretation of clinical data (e.g., images).

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

Yes, in essence. The performance testing described is "standalone" in that it assesses the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the material itself, independent of human interaction in its final clinical application (beyond the standardized testing procedures). This is not an algorithm, but rather a material's intrinsic properties.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for this study is based on established international standards (ISO 6872, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11). These standards define the acceptable ranges and methodologies for evaluating dental ceramic materials for properties such as flexural strength, thermal expansion, chemical solubility, and biocompatibility.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a non-clinical performance study of a material and does not involve machine learning algorithms that require a "training set."

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

Not applicable. As there is no training set involved, the concept of establishing ground truth for it does not apply.

8. Substantial Equivalence

The Zmaxx T Series is substantially equivalent to the NATURAZ SERIES (K091096) by The Dental Solutions, Inc. and BruxZir™ Anterior (K143330) by Prismatik Dentalcraft, Inc. The following comparison table is presented to demonstrate substantial equivalence. They share the similar

{5}------------------------------------------------

material and similar physical / chemical properties. However, the mixing ratios of the raw materials are different between the devices.

Despite these differences, the performance test results per ISO 6872 shows that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices 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), irritation (ISO 10993-10), and acute systemic toxicity (ISO 10993-11) to meet the biocompatibility requirements.

Based on the comparison between the two devices and the performance testing results presented in this 510K, we conclude that the Zmaxx T Series is 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)
Classification. Class II.
