The BinkieRT is intended to be used for repeat positioning and immobilization of a patient's tongue and jaw while undergoing or receiving a course of external beam radiation therapy for treatment of cancer and other diseases. It is intended to be used by or under the direction of a licensed physician. BinkieRT is meant for use with 6 MV photon beams only.
It is a patient-specific medical device that is mounted in the oral cavity of the patient to fix the temporomandibular joint in the treatment of head and neck radiation, and the planned dose is accurately delivered to the target area, and the tongue is moved in one direction to be spaced apart to minimize the exposure of normal tissue to the surrounding area. The device consists of a Jaw Positioner (Impression, Maxiila, Mandibula), a Tongue Positioner (Head, Paddle), and a Column (Rotation Guide).
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the BinkieRT device and does not contain detailed information about a study with acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the format requested.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which means proving that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device. This often relies on non-clinical (bench) testing rather than full clinical studies, which is explicitly stated in the "Clinical Test Summary" section: "Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the BinkieRT to its predicate devices."
However, I can extract the information related to the bench tests and the "acceptance criteria" (or verification metrics) mentioned within those tests.
Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request, structured to address each point as much as possible, even if the information is not fully present for all points:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Test | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| X-ray backscatter shielding performance | The Dose Enhancement Ratio (backscattered radiation dose produced by the subject divided by a "baseline" dose without the subject) should indicate effective shielding. Values greater than 1 indicate increased dose and poor shielding, while a ratio of 1 indicates complete shielding with no backscatter radiation delivered to the patient. | The Dose Enhancement Ratio of the assembled BinkieRT is just below 1.0, indicating near perfect shielding. |
| EVA dental impression depth comparison test | The measured impression depth must be within the standard deviation of the initial impression depth measurements. | The impression depth comparison test showed that the depth was not significantly affected by the time frame, and the test performance was similar to that of the predicate. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- X-ray backscatter shielding performance: The document states "Subjects were exposed to a 6 MV high energy photon beam," but does not specify the number of subjects (e.g., how many BinkieRT devices or test phantoms were used).
- Data Provenance: Bench test, not specified as human or animal subjects. Performed in a laboratory setting. No country of origin for the data is explicitly stated, but the manufacturer is based in South Korea. The test is retrospective in the sense that it evaluates the manufactured product.
- EVA dental impression depth comparison test: The document states "using a force gauge (i.e., occlusal force qauqe) and anthropomorphic jaws," and "a force of ~800N was applied to the EVA once before treatment and repeated after each 2.25 Gy fraction of a total 67.5 Gy dose to the BinkieRT (i.e., 30 fractions)." This implies testing on at least one BinkieRT device (specifically, its EVA impression component) repeatedly. The exact number of devices/samples tested is not specified.
- Data Provenance: Bench test, not specified as human or animal subjects. Performed in a laboratory setting. No country of origin for the data is explicitly stated, but the manufacturer is based in South Korea. The test is retrospective in the sense that it evaluates the manufactured product.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- This information is not provided in the document. The tests described are bench tests with objective measurements (Dose Enhancement Ratio, impression depth) and do not involve expert interpretation or ground truth establishment in the clinical sense.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- This information is not applicable/not provided. The tests described are bench tests with objective measurements, not 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
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a physical tongue and jaw positioner for radiation therapy, not an AI/software device that would involve human readers or AI assistance in interpretation. The "Clinical Test Summary" explicitly states that clinical testing was not required.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- No, this is not an algorithm or AI device. The tests performed are bench tests on the physical characteristics and performance of the device.
7. The type of ground truth used
- X-ray backscatter shielding performance: The "ground truth" or reference for comparison is a "baseline" dose (backscattered radiation produced without the subject in the photon beam). This is a physically measured baseline.
- EVA dental impression depth comparison test: The "ground truth" or reference for comparison is the initial impression depth measurements before repeated force application. This is a physically measured baseline.
8. The sample size for the training set
- This question is not applicable. This device is a physical product and not an AI/machine learning algorithm, so there is no "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 physical device.
In summary, the provided document details non-clinical bench testing for the BinkieRT device to demonstrate its performance against specific physical criteria related to its function, rather than diagnostic accuracy studies typically associated with AI/software devices. Therefore, many of your requested points related to clinical studies, human readers, and AI algorithms are not applicable to this submission.

[Table 1. Comparison of Proposed Device to Predicate Device]
{8}------------------------------------------------
The table also provides rationale for a little difference in support of substantial equivalence to the Predicate devices
[Table 2. Little difference with Predicate Device]
Justification to Support Substantial Equivalence
There are no significant differences between BinkieRT and the predicate devices that would adversely affect the use of the product. It is substantially equivalent to predicate devices in indications for use and technology characteristics.
{9}------------------------------------------------
Non-Clinical Test summary
The BinkieRT comply with voluntary standards for electromagnetic compatibility, use in the home healthcare environment and usability. The following data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
1) Biocompatibility
Bio-compatibility test is performed according to below:
- FDA Guidance document Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, `Biological evaluation of ● medical devices- Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process
- ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process
- ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices — Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
- ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation of medical devices — Part 10: Tests for skin sensitization
2) Bench Testing
- X-ray backscatter shielding performance .
Bench tests were conducted to verify the shielding capabilities of the Binkie RT aqainst secondary lowenergy backscatter radiation emitted by metal piling bridgework. Subjects were exposed to a 6 MV high energy photon beam and the backscatter radiation dose was radiation dose was assessed by measuring the exposure density of the industry standard Gafchromic EBT3 film placed adjacent to the subject. The Dose Enhancement Ratio was defined as the backscattered radiation dose produced by the subject divided by a "baseline" dose (backscattered radiation produced without the subject in the photon beam). Shielding effectiveness was indicated by the Dose Enhancement Ratio. Values greater values greater than 1 indicate an increased dose of backscatter radiation to the patient and a poor shielding effect, while a ratio of 1 indicates complete shielding with no dose of backscatter radiation delivered to the patient.
The Dose Enhancement Ratio of the assembled BinkieRT is just below 1.0, indicating near perfect shielding. Shows the nearly complete shielding effectiveness of the Binkie RT device in shielding backscattered radiation.
- EVA dental impression depth comparation test
Bench testing was performed to compare the depth of the EVA impression to verify that the depth of the dental arch impression was not significantly affected by bite time. using a force gauge (i.e., occlusal force qauqe) and anthropomorphic jaws, a force of ~800N was applied to the EVA once before treatment and repeated after each 2.25 Gy fraction of a total 67.5 Gy dose to the BinkieRT (i.e., 30 fractions). The force was selected as the reported maximum human bite force using a soft bite surface. Impression depth was measured with calipers for every 10 fractions and analyzed over time to detect changes in the structural integrity of the BinkieRT over the course of treatment. An effect of bite time was evaluated by measuring the deviations of impression depth with fractions compared to the initial impression depth. After the 67.5 Gy was completed, the final impression depth was compared to the previous 35 fractions.
{10}------------------------------------------------
The measured impression depth must be within the standard deviation of the initial impression depth measurements. The impression depth comparison test showed that the depth was not significantly affected by the time frame, and the test performance was similar to that of the predicate. The BinkieRT produces similar impression depths when comparing its current timeframe to the longer timeframe indicated in the Predicate device's Instructions for Use.
The non-clinical performance test results provide evidence that the BinkieRT is safe and effective when used as intended.
3) Validation
- . Packaging process validation
Through several tests conducted for validation of the packaging process, optimized packaging process parameters among various packaging process conditions were identified.
The nylon packaging, which was packaged through the vacuum packaging machine, was stably packaged under the conditions of 'vacuum step 10, cooling step 10, cooling step 35', and the adhesive strength of the packaging also showed good results.
It has been verified through various tests that the wrapping paper of "BinkieRT" thermally bonded
through the validated packaging process can maintain a consistent and has the ability to protect the produet from contaminants
● Cleaning process validation
The cleaning process validation was performed on the "Oral_001 (O-TYPE)", which is a worst case sample, using the cleaner that has completed installation and operation qualification (IQ / OQ).
'Asa verification method for verifying the effectiveness of the cleaning process, it met the test criteria in the physicochemical test (TOC, pH, Electrical conductivity test) performed after the final cleaning, Also, cleaning agent residue test (HPLC), residue evaporation, microorganism test (Bioburden test) and dry Validation test were suitable for the acceptable criteria,
Based on the validation results, we can conics that cleaning process is validated and itis effective to cleaning the `BinkieRT"
Clinical Test Summary
Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the BinkieRT to its predicate devices.
8. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
The BinkieRT have similar intended use and technical characteristics to the predicate device.
Based on that information, we conclude that the differences between the proposed device and predicate device do not introduce a new intended use and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
