Intended Use

KDF Zirconia Disc is indicated for the production of dental ceramic restorations, specifically inlays, onlays, veneers, artificial teeth, crowns and bridges, which is manufactured by CAD / CAM processing. The application includes both anterior teeth and posterior teeth areas. All blocks are processed by a dental laboratory or dental technician.

Device Description

KDF Zirconia Disc is used for custom made dental restorations using a CAD/CAM system by dental professionals. The subjected device has disc shapes and various shades and thicknesses as follow.
KDF Zirconia Disc is mainly composed of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) and contain other oxides as stabilizers or/and colorants. The device is two different classifications according to ISO 6872: 2015 depending on shades. MU series are classified as type II class 4 ceramic, otherwise are classified as type II class 5 ceramic.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but I cannot answer your request for specific details regarding the Acceptance Criteria and Study that proves the device meets the Acceptance Criteria using the provided text. The document provided outlines a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental ceramic restoration device (KDF Zirconia Disc) and includes non-clinical performance testing results against recognized standards (ISO 6872:2015 and ISO 10993 series). While it presents acceptance criteria and reported device performance in a table, it does not contain the following information you requested:

  • Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: The document states that "all samples" and "all fully sintered test articles" were tested, but does not provide a specific number. The origin of the data (country, retrospective/prospective) is not mentioned.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience): This type of information is generally related to clinical studies or expert review for diagnostic devices, which is not applicable to this material device.
  • Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Again, this relates more to diagnostic device performance evaluation with expert review, which is not the context here.
  • 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: This type of study is for AI-assisted diagnostic devices and is not relevant to a dental material device.
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: This is also for AI/algorithm-based devices.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): The "ground truth" for this device's performance is defined by the technical specifications and criteria set forth in the ISO standards, not expert consensus or pathology data in the typical sense for diagnostic applications.
  • The sample size for the training set: The document does not describe any training set as it pertains to AI or machine learning. The "training" in this context would implicitly be the process of developing and manufacturing the zirconia disc to meet the ISO standards.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: As there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/machine learning device, this information is not provided.

The provided text focuses on the physical and chemical properties of the KDF Zirconia Disc, demonstrating its compliance with international standards for dental ceramic materials and biocompatibility for establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It does not involve AI, diagnostic performance, or human reader studies.

Here is the table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from the provided text:

Performance (Non-Clinical) Testing

Non-clinical testing data are submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence following FDA recognized standards:

  • ·ISO 6872:2015, Dentistry Ceramic materials
  • •ISO 7405:2018, Dentistry Evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry
  • •ISO 10993-1:2018, Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process

The biocompatibility studies were performed in accordance with ISO 10993 series.

a) Performance Testing

Performance testing of the KDF Zirconia Disc was performed in accordance with ISO 6872:2015. As shown in the table below, all test results indicate that the devices conform to the requirements of the standard and falls under Type II Class 5 ceramic or Class4 ceramic as with the predicates.

Therefore, it was concluded that KDF Zirconia Disc has substantially equivalent physical properties and performance to the predicate devices.

b) Biocompatibility

The biocompatibility risk assessment of KDF Zirconia Disc was performed according to ISO 10993-1:2018 and ISO 7405:2018. The tests conducted in accordance with the ISO 10993 series described above showed no significant adverse effects under the conditions of the studies. Based on the results of these studies, the risk of the biocompatibility-related hazards from the use of the device is extremely low, and all biocompatibility risks of the device are determined acceptable.

Therefore, the KDF Zirconia Disc conforms to ISO 10993-1:2018 and ISO

{9}------------------------------------------------

7405:2018, indicating that the safety of the device is substantially equivalent to the predicates.

Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the comparison and analysis above demonstrate that the differences between the proposed device and the predicated device are insignificant in terms of substantial equivalence. The proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 872.6660 Porcelain powder for clinical use.

(a)
Identification. Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.(b)
Classification. Class II.
