2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document indicates that non-clinical tests were performed. These typically involve material samples rather than a "test set" of patients. Therefore, information about patient sample size, country of origin, or retrospective/prospective nature is not applicable as no clinical studies were performed.


3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. No clinical test set involving human subjects requiring expert ground truth establishment was performed. The evaluation was based on non-clinical bench testing against established standards.


4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. As no clinical test set was used, there was no need for an adjudication method by experts.


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. No MRMC study was mentioned or performed. This device is a physical dental appliance, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.


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 or AI system.


7. The type of ground truth used

For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" was based on established international standards (e.g., ISO 20795-2:2013 for physical properties, ISO 10993-5 and -10 for biocompatibility). The device's materials were tested to ensure they met the specifications outlined in these standards.


8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. As no AI or machine learning component is involved, there is no training set in the conventional sense. The "training" for this device's development would be in material science and engineering, not data processing.


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

Not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth to establish for it.
