Intended Use

HCG Zirconia Ceramic Block are intended for the fabrication of copings and full anatomical/full contour crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays for anterior and posterior segment restorations.

Device Description

"HCG Zirconia Ceramic Block" is a ceramic block composed of zirconia compounds. It is suitable for manufacture of dental crowns and bridges cut in the conventional manner or with the help of CAD/CAM.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the HCG Zirconia Ceramic Block, which is a dental device. The information details non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/ML-driven medical device.

Therefore, the document does not contain the requested information regarding:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI/ML device.
  • Sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, training set sample size, or how ground truth for training data was established.

This document focuses on the physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility, and functional testing of a zirconia ceramic block against established standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO) to demonstrate its equivalence for dental restorations. It explicitly states: "No clinical test data was used to support the decision of substantial equivalence."

In summary, this document is not a study proving an AI/ML device meets acceptance criteria. It is a submission for a dental material (zirconia block) based on non-clinical performance and substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices.

Dear Chieh-Ju Huang:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

{1}------------------------------------------------

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

12. Similarity and Difference

The HCG Zirconia Ceramic Block is compared with NexxZr™ S and NexxZr™ T and Copran Zr/Origin YZ. The subject device has same intended use and technology/mechanism of action, and similar safety and performance as the predicate and reference devices. Although there are some different specifications between these devices, the performance test was completed and demonstrated similar test results. The subject device has also undergone safety and performance tests, and the results complied with the test requests. Therefore, the differences between the subject device and the predicate and reference devices do not raise any problem of substantial equivalence. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices in intended use, design and performance claims.

13. Conclusion

After analyzing non-clinical laboratory studies and testing data, it can be concluded that the HCG Zirconia Ceramic Block is substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.
