The FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser is a 2% K21 QAS aqueous ethanolic solution intended for cleansing and moistening/re-wetting of cavity preparations.
The FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser is a 2% K21 Quaternary Ammonium Silane-functionalized (QAS) aqueous ethanolic solution intended for cleansing and moistening/re-wetting of prepared dental surfaces. It is recommended for use upon completion of tooth preparation or etching, prior to sealing dentinal tubules. Research has shown that FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser can not only remove debris in carious lesion preparations but can penetrate exposed dentin tubules allowing restorative adhesives to tightly bind to the prepared dentin surface. Clinical studies have not been conducted to demonstrate that this device results in improved clinical outcomes.
The provided document, a 510(k) premarket notification for the FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser, details the device's characteristics and compares it to predicate and reference devices to establish substantial equivalence. However, this document does not describe a study that involves human-in-the-loop performance, multi-reader multi-case studies, or AI assistance. The "Performance Testing" section only lists "Bond Strength Testing." The "Non-Clinical Testing" section lists "Biocompatibility" (Cytotoxicity and Sensitization).
Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot provide information for many of the requested points, especially those related to AI model performance, expert ground truth establishment for a test set, MRMC studies, or training set details. The document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence through comparison of technological characteristics and non-clinical bench testing.
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what cannot:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document doesn't present "acceptance criteria" in the typical sense of a pre-defined performance threshold for a statistical study (e.g., AUC > X, sensitivity > Y%). Instead, it establishes substantial equivalence by demonstrating that the FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser has similar material properties and performs comparably in bench tests to legally marketed predicate and reference devices.
The "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met if the device demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate and reference devices in the evaluated characteristics. The "reported device performance" is essentially that it did achieve this equivalence in the listed non-clinical tests.
| Trait Evaluated (Implicit Acceptance Criteria: Equivalent to Predicate/Reference) | FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser Performance | Predicate/Reference Performance (for comparison) | Comparison Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intended Use | Cleansing and moistening/re-wetting of cavity preparations | Cleansing and moistening/re-wetting cavity preparations (Bisco, Ascent) | Equivalent to predicate |
| Principle of Operation | Cleansing and re-wetting of carious preparations | Cleansing and re-wetting of carious preparations (Bisco, Ascent) | Equivalent to predicate |
| Composition | 2% K21 QAS | 2% Chlorhexidine Digluconate (Bisco), Chlorhexidine Gluconate (Ascent), 5% K18 QAMS (Lang) | Equivalent to reference (Lang Orthodontic Acrylic 2 shares QAMS compound) |
| Product Classification | Class II | Class II (all predicates/references) | Equivalent |
| Use | Prescription Use | Prescription Use (all predicates/references) | Equivalent |
| Biocompatibility | Yes (tested) | Yes (Bisco, Lang; unknown for Ascent) | Equivalent to predicate/reference |
| Bond Strength Testing (Performance) | Performed; results implicitly comparable to predicate to establish equivalence. | Performed (implied for predicates to be marketed). | Implied comparable to establish equivalence. |
| Cytotoxicity (Performance) | Performed; results implicitly acceptable. | Performed (implied for predicates to be marketed). | Implied acceptable for clearance. |
| Sensitization (Performance) | Performed; results implicitly acceptable. | Performed (implied for predicates to be marketed). | Implied acceptable for clearance. |
Important Note: The document explicitly states: "Clinical studies have not been conducted to demonstrate that this device results in improved clinical outcomes." This reinforces that the acceptance is based on non-clinical, bench-top equivalence, not clinical performance metrics.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: The document does not specify sample sizes for the bench tests (Bond Strength, Cytotoxicity, Sensitization). These are typically described in detailed study reports that are part of the 510(k) submission but are not fully reproduced in this summary letter.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. It's safe to assume the testing was conducted to support a US FDA submission, but the specific location of the labs isn't stated. The testing is retrospective in the sense that it evaluates the device's properties, not prospective patient outcomes.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This question is not applicable to this document. The device is a "cavity cleanser," a chemical solution, not an AI diagnostic device that requires expert interpretation of images or other data to establish ground truth. The "ground truth" for chemical/physical properties is established by standardized laboratory methods and measurements, not by expert consensus.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- This question is not applicable for the same reason as point 3. Adjudication methods are used in reader studies (often for AI or imaging devices) to resolve discrepancies in human interpretations. This device's evaluation is based on objective laboratory measurements.
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:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was NOT done. This document pertains to a chemical dental product, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No, this is not an AI algorithm. This question is not applicable.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" for this device's evaluation is based on standardized laboratory measurements and accepted scientific principles for material properties, bond strength, and biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization). It is not based on expert consensus, pathology, or clinical outcomes data in the context of a diagnostic study.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI device.

Performance Testing
- . Bond Strength Testing
Non-Clinical Testing – Biocompatibility
- Cytotoxicity
- . Sensitization
Substantial Equivalence Summary (Conclusion)
FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser has the same intended use, principles of operation and substantially equivalent technological characteristics as the predicate device Bisco Cavity Cleanser (K915668) and the reference device Ascent Dental Cleanser (K070070). Although FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser differs from the predicate and reference devices in the source of solution component (K21 QAS versus Chlorhexidine Digluconate), FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser and the reference device Lang Orthodontic Acrylic 2 both use the same functionalized quaternary ammonium molecule found in the FiteBac® QAS molecule as a source of product component. The subject device and the predicate and reference devices active ingredients have been shown to effectively cleanse and prepare carious lesions for restoration without diminishing restoration bond strength. FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser is as safe and effective as the predicate and reference comparator devices currently cleared for marketing in the United States. Additional biocompatibility and non-clinical testing demonstrate FiteBac® Cavity Cleanser is as safe and effective as these devices and does not raise additional questions of safety and effectiveness.
A comparison of the subject device to the predicate devices is shown in the following table.
