Intended Use

DeltaFil (in capsule) is used for geriative filling procedures. The procedures. The product is designed for use in final restorations of Class I, II, III, and V of deciduous teeth and as a long - term restorative in non-load bearing areas of Class I and II carious lesions. It is also used as a restorative and sandwich material for heavy stress in Class I and II cavities. DeltaFil can also be used as a core build-up material.

DeltaFil Conditioner:

  • Treatment of the smear layer
  • Conditioning of the cavity
Device Description

DeltaFil consists of a radiopaque glass ionomer restorative material supplied in capsule form (DeltaFil in capsule), and a compatible tooth conditioner (DeltaFil Conditioner). DeltaFil Conditioner and DeltaFil (in capsule) are used together for the creation of permanent or temporary dental restorations as described in the device labelling. DeltaFil is available in Vita shades A1, A2, A3, A3.5, and A4.

DeltaFil (in capsule) is a two-part powder/liguid glass polyalkenoate restorative cement as defined in ISO 9917-1:2006 Dentistry - Water-Based Cements - Part 1: powder/liquid acid-base cements. The powder and liquid components are supplied in the correct mixing ratio in disposable "Applicap" capsules for use with the DMG Applicap Dispenser. DeltaFil Conditioner is a 10% aqueous polyacrylic acid solution, which is applied to the prepared tooth surface prior to placement of the mixed DeltaFil (in capsule) material. DeltaFil Conditioner improves the adhesive bond between the tooth tissue and the restorative cement material by treating the smear layer and conditioning the prepared cavity.

AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental device, not an AI/ML device, so the usual criteria for AI/ML acceptance and studies are not applicable. The document discusses performance criteria for a dental cement and conditioner.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, focusing on the nearest equivalents to your requested categories for a non-AI/ML medical device:

The device under review is DeltaFil (in capsule), a radiopaque glass ionomer restorative material, and DeltaFil Conditioner, a 10% aqueous polyacrylic acid solution. Both are used in dental filling procedures.

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document provides a comparison table against two predicate devices (GC Fuji IX GP for DeltaFil and 3M Espe Ketac Conditioner for DeltaFil Conditioner), which implicitly sets the acceptance criteria by demonstrating "substantial equivalence." The acceptance criteria are essentially defined by meeting or being similar to the performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate devices, and in some cases, meeting ISO standards.

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

The document states "Performance data demonstrated that DeltaFil (in capsule) and DeltaFil Conditioner meet all predetermined acceptance criteria contained in the product specification and are suitable for their intended use." It also mentions "Design verification and validation activities consisted of physical testing, biocompatibility evaluation, and stability (shelf life) validation."

However, specific sample sizes for each physical test (e.g., compressive strength, radiopacity, shear bond strength, acid erosion) are not detailed in this summary. The provenance of the data is not explicitly stated beyond being studies conducted to support the substantial equivalence claim for the subject device. It is generally understood that such testing is conducted by the manufacturer (DMG Chemisch-Pharmazeutische Fabrik GmbH, Germany). The studies are likely prospective tests performed specifically for this submission.

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 as this is not an AI/ML device, and therefore no "experts" are adjudicating image interpretations or similar for ground truth. The "ground truth" for the performance tests comes from objective physical and chemical measurements (e.g., MPa for strength, mm for erosion, %Al for radiopacity) against established ISO standards and comparisons to predicate device data.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as there is no human adjudication of results in the way it would be for an AI/ML diagnostic device interpreting images. Physical and chemical tests typically involve standardized protocols and 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

Not applicable. This device is a dental material, 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 is not an algorithm. The performance evaluation is inherently for the materials themselves.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

For the DeltaFil and DeltaFil Conditioner, the "ground truth" is established through:

  • International Standards: Primarily ISO 9917-1:2007 (Dentistry - Water-Based Cements - Part 1: powder/liquid acid-base cements) for physical and chemical properties like compressive strength, radiopacity, acid erosion, and acid soluble lead content.
  • Predicate Device Data: Performance characteristics of legally marketed devices (GC Fuji IX GP and 3M Espe Ketac Conditioner) serve as a benchmark for comparison.
  • Biocompatibility Standards: ISO 10993 for biological evaluation of medical devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; therefore, there is no "training set."

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

Not applicable. There is no training set. The regulatory path is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and adherence to relevant performance standards through physical and biocompatibility testing.

  • Predicate SBS data for GC Fuji IX GP with and without the compatible GC Cavity Conditioner

Non-clinical Performance Testing

Performance data demonstrated that DeltaFil (in capsule) and DeltaFil Conditioner meet all predetermined acceptance criteria contained in the product specification and are suitable for their intended use. The risks associated with the use of the new devices were found acceptable when evaluated in accordance with ISO 14971. Risks and benefits associated with the proposed and the predicate device are the same. Design verification and validation activities consisted of physical testing, biocompatibility evaluation, and stability (shelf life) validation.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Devices

The general material type, intended use, and performance specifications of DeltaFil (in capsule) and DeltaFil Conditioner are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, GC Fuji IX GP and 3M Espe Ketac Conditioner. DeltaFil (in capsule) and GC Fuji IX GP are two-part powder-liquid glass ionomer polyalkenoate restorative dental cement as defined in ISO 9917-1:2007 Dentistry - Water-Based Cements – Part 1: powder/liquid acid-base cements. Both DeltaFil (in capsule) and GC Fuji IX GP are supplied in capsules that are briefly mixed by the user in a standard dental capsule mixer prior to dispensing.

DeltaFil Conditioner and 3M Espe Ketac Conditioner are both mild, blue-tinted aqueous solutions of polyacrylic acid intended to enhance the bond between the glass ionomer restorative cement and the tooth surface by treating the smear layer to condition the cavity. DeltaFil Conditioner is intended for use prior to the application of DeltaFil (in capsule). The Diadent DiaEtch cleared in K192273 is cited

as a reference device to confirm biological safety for methlylene blue pigment used to enhance the visibility of dental cavity pretreatments.

Conclusion

The DMG Chemisch-Pharmazeutische Fabrik GmbH DeltaFil (in capsule) and DeltaFil Conditioner meet all pre-determined acceptance criteria of the testing performed to confirm substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
