Intended Use

Non-Sterile Zirconia Block (Model name: ARENA Star, MontBlanc) are indicated for the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, or for jacket crowns, facings, and veneers.

Device Description

Non-Sterile Zirconia Block (Model name: ARENA Star. MontBlanc), used to produce dental restoration to support designing computer for dental use and to process cutting as a manufacture unit, on which CAD/CAM system is applied for processing and sintering.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding a dental device, specifically "Non-Sterile Zirconia Block (ARENA Star, Mont Blanc)". It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing a detailed study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria through clinical or even extensive non-clinical performance data against set thresholds.

Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, performance studies, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment (typical for AI/software as a medical device submissions) are not present in this document. This submission primarily relies on showing similarity in material properties and intended use to an already cleared device.

Here's an attempt to answer your questions based solely on the provided text:

Device: Non-Sterile Zirconia Block (ARENA Star, Mont Blanc)

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not present a table of acceptance criteria with specific quantitative thresholds that the device was tested against in a performance study, nor does it report detailed device performance metrics beyond stating that tests "passed the evaluation criteria and met the requirement."

Instead, it relies on comparison to a predicate device and adherence to a recognized standard (ISO 6872:2015). The "acceptance criteria" are implied by meeting the requirements of this standard and demonstrating equivalence to the predicate.

CharacteristicAcceptance Criterion (Implied by ISO 6872:2015 & Predicate Equivalence)Reported Device Performance
Flexural Strength800 MPa (matching predicate and ISO standard requirements)800Mpa
Sintering Temperature$1500 \pm 50$ °C (matching predicate)$1500 \pm 50$ °C
BiocompatibilityNo adverse reaction (Cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity)Tested for Cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, no adverse reaction.
Mechanical PropertiesMet requirements of ISO 6872 Class 5 for dental ceramicsAll tests have passed the evaluation criteria and met the requirement of product-specific ISO 6872 specifies for Class 5 dental ceramics.

Note: The document explicitly states "No clinical study is included in this submission." The reported performance is based on non-clinical, in-vitro testing.

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

The document does not specify the sample sizes (e.g., number of blocks, number of samples tested for biocompatibility, etc.) used for the non-clinical tests.

The data provenance is from non-clinical tests conducted by ARUMDENTISTRY Co., Ltd. (Republic of Korea, based on the submitter's address). The tests are in-vitro studies, not clinical data from patients. The document does not specify if the data is retrospective or prospective, but given it's non-clinical testing, it would generally be considered prospective for the purpose of 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 to this submission. The "ground truth" for material properties is established through standardized laboratory testing methods (e.g., measuring flexural strength, chemical composition, biocompatibility assays), not through expert consensus or interpretation of medical images. No human readers or experts are mentioned in the context of "ground truth" for the performance tests conducted.

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

This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies involving human interpretation (e.g., radiology reads) to establish a consensus ground truth. The tests performed are objective, laboratory measurements of material properties, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.

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

This question is not applicable. This device is a dental material (zirconia block) used for manufacturing dental prosthetics, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and assessment of AI assistance for human readers are not relevant. The document explicitly states, "No clinical study is included in this submission."

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This question is not applicable. This device is a physical dental material, not an algorithm or software. Therefore, "standalone algorithm-only performance" is not a concept that applies here.

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

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is based on objective, quantitative measurements of material properties according to recognized international standards (e.g., ISO 6872:2015 for mechanical properties, ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility). For instance, flexural strength is measured directly, rather than being determined by expert consensus or pathology.

8. The sample size for the training set

This question is not applicable. This is a physical device submission demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate, not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.

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

This question is not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device submission.

Dear April Lee:

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.
