Intended Use

The patient specific set of Clear Dental Aligners are indicated for the treatment of tooth malocclusion in patients having permanent dentition. These Aligners position teeth by way of continuous gentle force. These are for self-use by patient with monitoring of improvement by orthodontists.

Device Description

The Clear Dental Aligners are thermoformed, orthodontic wearable & removable dental appliances that, when worn in the prescribed sequence and duration, progressively reposition the permanent malocclusion teeth. These aligners could be soft, medium, or hard as per prescription set by an orthodontist, and to exert the desired & continuous gentle force to progressively position the teeth. Each aligner is made of thermoforming BPA free material sheets.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text, K223338, details the 510(k) premarket notification for the "Toothsi&SmileAligners" device. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device ("ClearCorrect System, K113618") through comparison of specifications and bench testing.

Based on the provided text, there is no acceptance criteria or study that proves device performance against specific metrics relevant to AI/algorithm-driven medical devices (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy). The document outlines acceptance criteria and performance for non-clinical bench testing related to the physical properties and manufacturing of the aligners, not for an AI algorithm's diagnostic or predictive performance.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance or details about AI-specific studies (sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, training set details) because the provided FDA submission document pertains to a physical medical device (orthodontic aligners) and not a software/AI-driven device requiring such performance metrics.

The "K223338" submission is for "Orthodontic Plastic Bracket" (Product Code NXC), which is a physical device that repositions teeth using continuous gentle force. The performance testing outlined (Table 2 on page 5) is for the physical aligners' properties:

  • Surface finishing after polishing by two methods: Accepted
  • Thickness of aligners after thermoforming with reference to aligner sheets: Accepted
  • Aligner shape accuracy after mimicked use for 15 days: Accepted
  • 3D Model shape accuracy for effectiveness of aligner punching as per treatment plan: Accepted

These are all physical engineering characteristic tests, not performance metrics for an AI or algorithm. The document explicitly states: "No comparative testing with predicate device was possible since clear dental aligners are patient specific devices made after treatment plan." and "The above four tests relate to safety (Sr. No 1 & 4) and performance (Sr. No 2, 3 and 4) of the clear aligners."

In summary, the provided document does not contain the information required to answer questions about acceptance criteria and study data for an AI/algorithm-driven device, as the submission is for a physical medical device.

Dear Sanjeev Gupta:

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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

{1}------------------------------------------------

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

G. Performance Testing Bench (Non-clinical)

The following bench testing was performed as part of Design Verification with purpose define in column 2 of Table 2 below. The reports are presented in sequence along with data tables and figures as applicable in 018_Performance Testing Bench. No separate annexure has been created for this section.

Table 2: Summary of bench testing performed on design samples of clear dentalalignersTest Outcome
Sr.NoPurpose of Bench TestingReport Number
1Surface finishing after polishing by twomethodsReport No. AO/DV/R1dated 31-12-2021Accepted
2Thickness of aligners after thermoformingwith reference to aligner sheetsReport No.: AO/DV/R2Dated 31-12-2021Accepted
3Aligner shape accuracy after mimicked usefor 15 daysReport No.: AO/DV/R7Dated 10-01-2022Accepted
43D Model shape accuracy for effectivenessof aligner punching as per treatment planReport No.: AO/DV/R3Dated 10-01-2022Accepted

The above four tests relate to safety (Sr. No 1 & 4) and performance (Sr. No 2, 3 and 4) of the clear aligners. No comparative testing with predicate device was possible since clear dental aligners are patient specific devices made after treatment plan.

H. Substantial Equivalence Discussion

Comparison of specifications with predicate device: The Section F-Table 1 above summarizes the comparison of subject device with predicate device.

  • a) Similarities: As it emerges from the review of Section F-Table 1 the characteristics related to Intended Use, Mechanism of Action, Material Thickness, Material of Construction, Prescription Steps are equivalent between predicate and subject devices.
  • b) Differences: The duration of wearing aligner is around 17 hours in predicate device and around 22 hours for subject device. This difference is subjective and does not alter safety and performance of the devices. Such difference majorly emerges from the user actions.
