UltraSeal XT plus bioprotection by Nobio sealant - UltraSeal XT plus sealant for prophylactic sealing of pits and fissures and can be used where the use of a flowable composite is indicated. The bioprotection by Nobio reduces demineralization, which is part of the caries formation process.
UltraSeal XT hydro bioprotection by Nobio sealant - Use UltraSeal XT hydro sealant for prophylactic sealing of pits and fissures. The addition of the bioprotection by Nobio reduces demineralization, which is part of the caries formation process.
UltraSeal XT plus bioprotection by Nobio sealant and flowable composite – UltraSeal XT plus sealant is a 58% filled, light-cured, radiopaque, methacrylate-based, thixotropic resin sealant. It is used with PrimaDry drying and priming agent to aid in avoiding moisture contamination which can cause microleakage and poor retention. It is a Type 1 Class 2 Group 1 polymer-based dental restorative flowable resin which is suitable for occlusal surfaces. It can be used where the use of a flowable is indicated. It is compatible with adhesives and bonding agents. UltraSeal XT plus sealant has a radiopacity value of 1.44 mm of aluminum. Aluminum has a radiopacity equivalent to that of dentin. Thus, 1 mm of material (having a radiopacity equivalent to 1 mm of aluminum) has a radiopacity equivalent to that of dentin-and 2 mm of aluminum is equivalent to enamel. The addition of the bioprotection by Nobio reduces demineralization, which is part of the caries formation process.
UltraSeal XT hydro bioprotection by Nobio sealant – UltraSeal XT hydro sealant is a Class 2, 53% filled, light-cured, radiopaque, methacrylate-based, thixotropic resin sealant. It is partly hydrophobic and hydrophilic before it is cured, hydrophobic once cured, and has a selfadhesive quality. UltraSeal XT hydro sealant chemistry provides the option of a visual verification for marginal retention-with the use of a black light upon placement and at recall visits. The UV light is not included in the UltraSeal XT hydro sealant kit. The addition of the bioprotection by Nobio reduces demineralization, which is part of the caries formation process.
Some of the silica-based filler particles (max 1.2% wt/wt of the total formulation) contained in all the UltraSeal XT plus Bioprotection by Nobio and UltraSeal XT hydro Bioprotection by Nobio are decorated with quaternary ammonium functional groups that are covalently bound to the filler particles' silica core via a silane linker (herein referred to as "QASi"). Following light induced polymerization, QASi particles (produced by Nobio) remain permanently entrapped within the sealant and destroy microorganisms by contact. As the cell membrane of microorganisms is negatively charged and the QASi particles have strong positive charges, microorganisms are electrostatically attracted to the positively charged cured material's surface resulting in disruption of their cell membrane and immediate microbial lysis.
Both subject devices have a depth of cure ≥ 1.5mm, are curable at wavelengths of 385-515nm and will remain uncured after light exposure while in their primary container. UltraSeal XT plus Bioprotection by Nobio is also indicated for use as a flowable composite. It has a flexural strength of ≥ 80 MPa, Water Sortpion ≤ 40 µ g/mm3, Water Solubility ≤ 7.5 µ g/mm3, Radio-Opacity, ≥ 1mm of Al, Surface Hardness ≥ 20 HK and Ambient light sensistivity resulting in the product being physically homogeneous after 60 seconds.
The provided text focuses on the substantial equivalence determination for dental sealants and does not contain information about a medical device involving AI or machine learning. Therefore, I cannot extract acceptance criteria and study details related to AI/ML device performance from this document.
The document discusses physical and chemical properties of dental sealants and their biocompatibility, which are typically evaluated through bench testing and ISO standards, not through clinical studies with human readers or AI algorithms. As such, information regarding sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training sets, or ground truth establishment in the context of AI/ML is absent.

Dear Dave Yungvirt:
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.

VIII Non-Clinical Performance Testing:
Non-clinical and biological testing was completed to assess the performance and biocompatibility of the UltraSeal XT plus Bioprotection by Nobio and UltraSeal XT hydro Bioprotection by Nobio and to support substantial equivalence. The data provided in this 510(k) submission shows that the sealant is biocompatible based on the biocompatibility assessment conducted as per ISO 10993 and ISO 7405 and performs as intended based on the bench testing per ISO 4049 and ISO 6874. The list of these tests is provided in Table 5-1.

Conclusion:
The predicate and subject devices have identical indications for use with a slight variation highlighting the inclusion of the Nobio QASi particles that reduces demineralization. Reference device, Infinix Flowable composite (K201010), intended for use as a flowable composite and/or pit and fissure sealant, incorporates the same Nobio QASi particles that reduces demineralization. Like the predicate devices, the subject devices utilized ISO 6874 and ISO 4049 to evaluate performance aspects of the devices. Safety is further proven by testing conducted to ISO 10993-1 and ISO 7405 supporting the biological safety of the devices. Lastly, device efficacy is met with clinical acceptance as being an effective pit and fissure sealant and as a flowable restorative (UltraSeal XT plus Bioprotection by Nobio only) through simulated use testing with representative users. As such, the differences in indications for use between the predicate and subject devices does not impact safety or effectiveness of the devices.
Based on this, the similar intended use and testing information presented above for the predicate products, UltraSeal XT plus and UltraSeal XT hydro, and the subject products, UltraSeal XT plus Bioprotection by Nobio and UltraSeal XT hydro Bioprotection by Nobio, are substantially equivalent.
