Intended Use

The Electronic Caries Detector is for use by dental professionals as an aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of dental caries.

Device Description

The ECD is a portable instrument that provides an electrical current source, a meter with a digital read-out between 00 and 100, and indicator and reference electrodes to aid in the detection and monitoring of non-cavitated and cavitated caries lesions in teeth.

The ECD indicator electrode is comprised of a replaceable, single-use, stainless steel probe tip. This component is sized and dimensionally configured to achieve close contact with the tooth being examined. The tip ensures electrical contact with dentinal fluid at sites that are not readily accessible or evaluated using traditional means. The ECD indicator electrode is paired with a reference electrode to complete the necessary electrical circuit. The reference electrode is a stainless steel lip hook that rests on the patient's lower lip.

The device is powered by a 9 volt alkaline battery, regulated down to 5 volts. The unit has a 2 ½ digit LCD display, two timer circuits, and a beeper. The first timing circuit is triggered upon circuit completion. The beeper sounds for 3 seconds, the probe is then removed, and the second timer holds the display for 5 seconds. Then the display returns to zero, ready for the next measurement.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Electronic Caries Detector, based on the provided text:

Electronic Caries Detector Study Information

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Sensitivity92% (compared to biopsy)
Specificity100% (compared to biopsy)

Note: The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" but rather presents performance metrics from a comparative study to establish substantial equivalence.

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

The document states that the testing included:

  • In vitro performance testing on extracted teeth
  • In vivo performance testing on teeth before and after extraction

However, it does not specify the sample size for either of these test sets, nor does it explicitly state the country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective. The term "in vivo" implies prospective collections from human subjects, and "in vitro on extracted teeth" would be a lab-based study with human teeth.

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

The document does not provide information on the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing the ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not specify any adjudication method used for the test set.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

There is no mention of a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or any effect size of human reader improvement with or without AI assistance. The device description suggests it's a direct measurement tool, not an AI-assisted diagnostic.

6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only)

The provided text describes performance testing of the device itself, stating "In vitro performance testing on extracted teeth" and "In vivo performance testing on teeth before and after extraction." The reported sensitivity and specificity values are for the device's performance when compared to biopsy. This indicates a standalone performance study of the device's measurement capabilities.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for the reported performance metrics (sensitivity and specificity) was biopsy. The document states, "Performance: When compared to biopsy: 92% sensitivity, 100% specificity." It further notes, "Ortek believes that biopsy is considered the current gold standard and the performance scores are more significant compared to visual-tactile readings."

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information on a separate training set or its sample size. The testing described appears to be for validation/performance evaluation rather than machine learning model training.

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

Since no separate training set is mentioned for a machine learning model, there is no information on how ground truth for a training set was established. The ground truth for the performance evaluation was established via biopsy.

PREDICATE DEVICE IDENTIFICATION

The Electronic Caries Detector is substantially equivalent to the following predicates:

510(k)NumberPredicate Device Name / ManufacturerPrimaryPredicate
K090598CarieScan Pro - Cariescan LLC
K982105Oral Potential Meter - Pertec of Wisconsin, Inc.

SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTING

No FDA performance standards have been established for Electronic Caries Detector. The following tests were performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence, based on current industry standards:

  • . Biocompatibility (per ISO 10993)
  • . In vitro performance testing on extracted teeth
  • In vivo performance testing on teeth before and after extraction

The results of these tests indicate that the Electronic Caries Detector is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

EQUIVALENCE TO PREDICATE DEVICES

Ortek believes that the Electronic Caries Detector is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on the information summarized here:

The subject device has similar design, technological characteristics, and uses similar or identical materials as the devices cleared in K090598 and K982105. The subject device has identical indications for use as the device cleared in K090598 and identical intended use as the devices

510(k) Summary

cleared in K090598 and K982105. The ECD uses electrical conductance similar to the device cleared in K982105. The power source of the subject device differs compared to both predicates, however, it uses a lower voltage battery (9V) than the primary predicate (110V). Performance testing of the subject device is similar to the performance of the primary predicate, however, the ECD used a comparison to biopsy whereas the primary predicate compared to visual-tactile scores of the evaluated teeth. Ortek believes that biopsy is considered the current gold standard and the performance scores are more significant compared to visual-tactile readings.

CONCLUSION

The Electronic Caries Detector is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on the testing performed, the identical indications for use, and similar technological characteristics. Based on the testing performed, including biocompatibility, performance and clinical testing, it can be concluded that the subject device does not raise new issues of safety or efficacy compared to the predicate devices.

Indications for UseThe Electronic Caries Detectoris for use by dentalprofessionals as an aid in thediagnosis and monitoring ofdental caries.For use by dentalprofessionals as an aid inthe diagnosis andmonitoring of dentalcaries.The Oral Potential Meter aids the dental professional in detecting potential caries. Measurementsabove 10 millivolts, 1 microamp and 0.01 microwatts x seconds indicates a need for the dentalprofessional to look at potentially carious leasions by also using other means, such as directexploration, radiographs, etc. The OPM aids in determining potentially active caries and can notdetect mineralized caries that have no potenial energy. Remineralized teeth are no longerconsidered carious. The OPM is a device that measures and displays voltage and conducts throughcaries related to metallic restorations in the oral cavity. The dentist may be able to, on visualexam, detect caries at the margins or with x-ray under a restoration with these readings. It alsoprovides a power measurement (energy or joules) integrated over a measured period of time anddisplays it. The meter has two probes that are used to make the measurements. One is a referenceprobe, Red, with push-button switch to turn on the meter and initiate the measurements. Theother is used as the primary input, Black to the meter's electronics
