The L1P-1F intraoral scanner (IOS) system is intended for aid in diagnosis of caries.
The L1P-1F intraoral scanner (IOS) system is intended for aid in diagnosis of caries. The L1P-1F system consists of a scanner and a detachable scanner tip which enables scanning using white and blue (fluorescence) Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). A single-use scanner body sleeve is mounted on the scanner before being introduced into the mouth of a patient for scanning of the teeth.
The interface to the computer is handled by ScanSuite TRIOS which functions as a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). The scan control of, and information from the scanner is handled by the TRIOS module software, which holds the interface to the user.
The L1P-1F system also consists of the TRIOS Patient Monitoring software which aids in diagnosis of occlusal and surface caries.
The functional principle of L1P-1F (TRIOS 5) is to collect images of the object scanned by means of focus scanning, where light from the LEDs travels through the optical system to the object being scanned and back to an image sensor. 3D true colored images of the teeth combined with 2D green and red image as an additional texture are generated by emitting blue and white light in turn.
The provided text describes the 3Shape TRIOS 5 (L1P-1F) intraoral scanner system, which is intended to aid in the diagnosis of caries. The documentation focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (DÜRR DENTAL AG – VistaCam iX "Proof" – K150672). However, it does not explicitly provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the format requested, nor does it detail a specific study proving the device meets acceptance criteria with all the requested information.
The document discusses key performance attributes tested and compared, which serve as implicit acceptance criteria for establishing substantial equivalence. These include:
- Fluorescence scanning
- Color Separation
- In vitro caries detection study
- Spatial resolution
Based on the available information, here's an attempt to structure the response, acknowledging where specific details for the requested categories are not explicitly provided in the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Fluorescence Scanning Performance | The L1P-1F uses two blue LEDs (405 nm) for fluorescence detection, yielding "sufficient performance." The device detects green to red visible light (>435 nm), similar to the predicate device. The blue-violet light causes tooth structures and bacterial metabolites to fluoresce, similar to the predicate. |
| Color Separation/Categorization for Caries Aid | The L1P-1F presents two severity categories: "Initial" (covering early-stage enamel caries, enamel caries up to enamel/dentine junction, and dentin junction already exceeded from the predicate's classification) and "Moderate/Extensive" (for deep dentin caries). This aligns with ICDAS merged codes. |
| In vitro Caries Detection Performance | Performance testing demonstrates that L1P-1F is "as safe and effective as a legally marketed device" and "does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device." |
| Spatial Resolution Performance | A qualitative comparison shows "the resolution of L1P-1F must be at least as good or better than the predicate device." |
| Electrical Safety / Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) | Complies with IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012, IEC 60601-1-2:2014, and IEC 62366-1:2015+A1:2020. |
| Biocompatibility | Evaluated according to relevant ISO 10993-series standards. No biocompatibility concerns were found for materials. |
| Reprocessing (Scanner tip sterilization, microbial barrier) | Scanner tip is autoclavable. Body Sleeve evaluated for tear resistance, tensile strength, puncture resistance, viral penetration, and synthetic blood penetration. Microbial barrier tested against viral ingress (ASTM F1671/F1671M-22). Reprocessing methods align with AAMI TIR12:2010 and AAMI TIR30:2011+R2016. |
| Software Verification and Validation | Verification and validation conducted as per FDA guidance "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" and EN 62304:2006+A1:2015. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document mentions an "In vitro caries detection study" and performance testing, but does not specify the sample size used for the test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective nature).
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document does not provide information regarding the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for any test sets.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
The document does not specify any adjudication method used for establishing ground truth in a test set.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
The document does not indicate that an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done involving human readers with and without AI assistance for the L1P-1F device. The focus is on the device's standalone performance compared to a predicate device.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The document describes "Performance Testing" including fluorescence scanning, color separation, in vitro caries detection, and spatial resolution. These tests would inherently involve the device's standalone performance to characterize its technical capabilities, which is then concluded to be "as safe and effective as a legally marketed device." While not explicitly termed "standalone performance study," the non-clinical data and performance testing sections describe the device's intrinsic capabilities.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The document mentions an "in vitro caries detection study," which suggests that the ground truth would likely be established by a recognized method for in vitro caries assessment, such as histology, micro-CT, or a standardized artificial caries model assessed by experts, but this is not explicitly stated.
8. The sample size for the training set
The document does not specify the sample size for any training set. Given the nature of the device (an intraoral scanner with integrated fluorescence technology), it's possible that machine learning or AI components might be involved in the "TRIOS Patient Monitoring software," but details on specific training sets are absent.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Since no training set details are provided, how its ground truth was established is not mentioned.

Discussion of Differences
Power Source / Connectivity
The VistaCam iX "Proof" only comes in a wired version whereas the L1P-1F is made in a wireless variant where the power source is batteries.
The batteries are certified and tested according to IEC 62133-2:2017 ('Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes. Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries made from them, for use in portable applications').
The wireless part complies with 47 CFR, Part 15, and has been tested to comply with IEC 60601-1-2:2014 ('Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic disturbances. Requirements and tests').
Light Source
The L1P-1F includes two types of LEDs as the light source: one white LED (for 3D image generation) and two blue LEDs (405 nm) as contrary to the predicate device which has four LEDs with blue-violet light (405 nm). The arrangement with two blue LEDs yields sufficient performance for fluorescence detection.
{8}------------------------------------------------
The LEDs have been tested and assessed to be in Risk Group 1 (Low-Risk) according to IEC 62471:2008 ('Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems').
Detection wavelength
The L1P-1F and predicate device are detecting similar wavelengths and the images are equivalent.
Detection wavelength is >435 nm for L1P-1F and 495 nm for the predicate device. Both devices detect green to red visible light (in particular, L1P-1P for wavelengths above 435 nm).
It is assumed that the predicate device detection wavelength of 495 nm refers to the wavelength of highest sensitivity.
Software
The software package for the L1P-1F consists of the following parts: TRIOS Module (imaging software), ScanSuite TRIOS (advanced driver software), and TRIOS Patient Monitoring (caries detection aid software).
The software package for the VistaCam iX "Proof" consists of the VistaCam iX "Proof" driver software and DSBWIN. VistaCam iX "Proof" can only be used with DBSWIN imaging software.
Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices".
The software has been validated according to EN 62304:2006+A1:2015, Medical Device Software Life-Cycle Processes.
Image Evaluation
The color categories used by the two devices to aid image interpretation are named differently.
The predicate device presents four caries severity categories, while the L1P-1F presents two severity caries categories. Table 2 shows how they correspond to each other.
Table 2 Color categories
| VistaCam iX Proof | L1P-1F |
|---|---|
| Early-stage caries,incipient enamel caries | Initial |
| Enamel caries up to enamel/dentine junction | Initial |
| Dentin junction already exceeded | Initial |
| Deep dentin caries | Moderate/Extensive |
L1P-1F is following the merged codes of the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) summarizing the first three categories of the VistaCam stages into one.
510(K) SUMMARY
{9}------------------------------------------------
With the intended use to aid caries diagnosis, the important clinical performance characteristic is to distinguish between a healthy tooth surface and a surface with initial decay or early-stage lesion. The additional caries severity categories that are provided in the predicate device are not expected to trigger any difference in the equivalent clinical performance and safety of caries assessments. However, these early caries stages would usually receive the same non-operative treatment approach by the dental practitioners and the distinction between them would therefore be of less clinical significance as well as reliability.
Spatial Resolution
The spatial (3D) model is obtained from many 2D images at different focus positions stitched together by the imaging software.
There is no publicly available data on spatial resolution for the predicate device. But a qualitative comparison of obtained shows that the resolution of L1P-1F must be at least as good or better than the predicate device.
Components impacting reprocessing
Both L1P-1F and the predicate device have exchangeable tips for scanning and single-use covers.
The predicate device has a protective cover which covers the entire scanner and thus acts as a microbial barrier. The microbial barrier for L1P-1F consists of a protective cover (Body Sleeve) and an autoclavable tip. The Body Sleeve is designed to cover the body of the scanner as well as the base of the detachable tip, which is closed with a window in the front end.
The Body Sleeve has been evaluated to ensure that requirements for clearance of dental barriers and sleeves requlated under 21 C.F.R §878.4370, FDA product code PEM, are met. This included evaluation of tear resistance, tensile strength, puncture resistance, viral penetration, and synthetic blood penetration.
The microbial barrier functionality of the scanner tip has been tested to show that no viral ingress through the tip window will reach the scanner body as tested using the test organism described in ASTM F1671/F1671M-22.
In conclusion, the microbial barrier properties implemented for the L1P-1F system are equivalent to the predicate device and ensures that cleaning and intermediate-level disinfection can be recommended for the scanner body between patients.
Non-Clinical Data
Key performance attributes tested and compared include:
-
- Fluorescence scanning
-
- Color Separation
-
- In vitro caries detection study
-
- Spatial resolution
{10}------------------------------------------------
The results of the performance testing demonstrates that L1P-1F is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device.
Performance Testing
Electrical Safety / Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Testing was performed for the L1P-1F and complies with:
- . IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012 (Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance)
- . IEC 60601-1-2:2014 (Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and Tests)
- . IEC 62366-1:2015+ A1:2020 (Medical Devices - Part 1: Application of Usability Engineering to Medical Devices).
Biocompatibility Testing
Patient contact components were evaluated according to relevant recognized standards in the ISO 10993-series. It was concluded that there are no biocompatibility concerns for any of the materials used to manufacture the L1P-1F.
Sterilization
The L1P-1F is not sold as a sterile device.
The Scanner tip is required to be processed prior to first use and between patients. Testing to support recommended methods for reprocessing was performed in accordance with AAMI TIR12:2010 ('Designing, testing, and labeling reusable medical devices for reprocessing in health care facilities: A guide for medical manufacturers') and AAMI TIR30:2011+R2016 ('A compendium of processes, materials, test methods, and acceptance criteria for cleaning reusable medical devices').
Conclusion
The proposed device, the L1P-1F, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device Vistacam iX "Proof".
The differences between the proposed and predicate device do not impact the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device. Performance testing supports that L1P-1F is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
