The provided document describes the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria for Dental LT Clear V2 Resin, a light-curable polymer-based resin for fabricating dental and orthodontic appliances.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The non-clinical testing data for the Dental LT Clear V2 Resin is summarized in Table 1 on page 4 of the document.
| Technological / Performance Characteristic | Test Method | Acceptance Criteria | Post Cured Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flexural modulus | ASTM D790-17 | ≥ 1 GPa | ≥ 2000 MPa |
| Ultimate tensile strength | ASTM D638-14 | ≥ 35 MPa | ≥ 50 MPa |
| Elongation | ASTM D638-14 | ≥ 0.8 % | ≥ 10% |
| Hardness Shore D | ASTM D2240-15 | Compliant to ASTM D2240-15 | 78D |
| Water Sorption | ISO 20795-2 | <32 µg/mm³ | 28 µg/mm³ |
| Water Solubility | ISO 20795-2 | <5 µg/mm³ | 1 µg/mm³ |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for each of the non-clinical tests (e.g., number of specimens for flexural modulus, tensile strength). The data provenance is derived from non-clinical laboratory testing conducted by the manufacturer, Formlabs Ohio, Inc. This typically implies prospective testing specifically for this device's submission. The country of origin of the data is implied to be the US, where Formlabs Ohio, Inc. is located.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
This document describes a submission for a material/device, not an AI/software device that requires expert-established ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" for this device is established through standardized physical and chemical laboratory testing using established ASTM and ISO methods. The qualifications involved would be those of laboratory technicians and engineers experienced in material science and dental material testing. No external expert reviewers/readers are mentioned or required for this type of submission.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable for this type of non-clinical material testing. The results are quantitative measurements against predefined acceptance criteria from established standards.
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 is a submission for a physical dental resin, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a material, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the performance parameters (flexural modulus, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, water sorption, water solubility) is established through scientific and engineering measurements conducted according to recognized international standards (ASTM and ISO). For biocompatibility, the ground truth is established through evaluation against ISO 10993-1:2018 and ISO 7405:2018 standards, with specific biological endpoint testing.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a material, not a machine learning model that requires a training set. The development of the resin would involve material science research and development, which is a different concept than a "training set" for AI.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable. As above, this is for a physical material, not an AI algorithm. The performance of the material is validated through the non-clinical testing described.

13. Biocompatibility:
Dental LT Clear Resin (V2) has been evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process, and ISO 7405:2018, Dentistry - Evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry. The endpoints evaluated included: physical and chemical information, cytotoxicity, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, sub-acute toxicity, sub-chronic toxicity, chronic toxicity, implantation and genotoxicity. The results of an independent biological risk assessment and endpoint testing confirmed biocompatibility. Dental LT Clear V2 is considered to meet the requirements of ISO 10993-1 : 2018 and ISO 7405: 2018, for a surface device that has long term (> 30 day) contact with mucosal membrane.
14. Substantial Equivalence:
Formlabs Ohio, Inc., submits that the Dental LT Clear V2 Resin is equivalent to the identified predicate devices KeyPrint® KeySplint Hard™ (cleared in K203000) and KeyPrint® KeySplint Soft™ (cleared in K183598) in multiple facets. After an exhaustive analysis of the subject Formlabs device and the predicate devices, Formlabs proffers that Dental LT Clear V2 Resin is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to the following:

- · Removability
Comparison of the Indications for Use between the subject device and predicate devices:
The predicates KeyPrint® KeySplint HardTM and KeyPrint® KeySplint Soft™ are indicated for the fabrication of orthodontic and dental appliances such as mouthguards, splints, repositioners and retainers. Dental LT Clear V2 Resin is utilized to print the same appliances as the predicates i.e., an occlusal splint, mouth guard, or night guard. Formlabs provides additional information about the medical conditions in which these appliances are widely indicated for treatment purposes in our indications for use statement.
Comparison of technological characteristics between the subject device and identified predicates:
The predicate devices and the subject device have comparable physical properties of elongation (complying to ASTM D638), flexural strength and flexural modulus (complying to ASTM D790), and hardness shore D (complying to ASTM D2240). All devices meet the applicable standardized testing requirements for orthodontic materials.
Notedly, the values for mechanical properties including flexural modulus, elongation and water solubility of the subject device were found to be falling in the range between the two 510(k) cleared predicates intended for similar indication for use.
Dental LT Clear V2 Resin and both the predicate devices complied to ISO 20795 for testing Water sorption and values of the subject device for this testing are found to be greater than the predicate. Since the subject device along with the predicate fall between the acceptable ranges of the recognized standard, we can reasonably assume that any noted differences would not be cause for an NSE (not substantially equivalent) determination.
Table 2 presents a side-by-side comparison between the subject device and the identified predicate devices.

Conclusion
As presented in this 510k summary, Formlabs deems its medical device Dental LT Clear V2 Resin to be substantially equivalent to the declared predicate devices and subject devices and subject device are used in the fabrication of dental appliances that are typically customized to a patient's specific needs. It is reasonable to assume that any noted differences would not be cause for an NSE (not substantially equivalent) determination.
