AI/ML Overview

The document describes the Pre-Sintered Zirconia Coloring Liquid and its non-clinical testing for safety and performance.

Here's an analysis of the provided information regarding acceptance criteria and the study:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance

Specification: Product technical requirementsPass
Appearance: Homogeneous and impurity-free liquidPass
Post-dyeing comparison requirements: No significant difference in color between dental specimens and VITA veneer colorimeter or standard dental specimensPass
Heavy metal content: Less than 10 mg/L (in Pb)Pass
Biocompatibility Testing

Acute systemic toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2017): Non-Acute systemic toxicityPass
Subchronic systemic toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2017): Non-Subchronic systemic toxicityPass

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

The document does not specify the exact sample size used for each physical and biocompatibility test. It mentions "dental specimens" for the post-dyeing comparison and implies testing on samples for heavy metal content, cytotoxicity, hypersensitivity, intradermal reaction, and systemic toxicity. The provenance of the data is not explicitly stated beyond being "non-clinical testing" conducted on the subject device. It is assumed to be internal testing by Chengdu Besmile Medical Technology Co., Ltd.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

The document does not mention the involvement of experts for establishing ground truth in the non-clinical tests described. The "ground truth" for these tests would be defined by the standardized methodologies (e.g., ISO standards for biocompatibility, instrumental measurements for heavy metals, visual comparison against color guides for post-dyeing).

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable for these types of non-clinical tests. The tests rely on objective measurements and adherence to specified standards rather than expert 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

Not applicable. This device is a pre-sintered zirconia coloring liquid, not an AI-powered diagnostic device, so MRMC studies are not relevant.

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

Not applicable. This is a material product, not a software algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • Physical Testing: Ground truth is established by:
    • Specification: Product technical requirements.
    • Appearance: Visual inspection against established criteria (homogeneous and impurity-free).
    • Post-dyeing comparison: Comparison against VITA veneer colorimeter or standard dental specimens.
    • Heavy metal content: Analytical measurement against a specified threshold (less than 10 mg/L in Pb).
  • Biocompatibility Testing: Ground truth is established by adherence to the criteria defined in the specific ISO standards (e.g., ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11) for non-cytotoxicity, non-hypersensitivity, non-intradermal reaction, and non-systemic toxicity.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is a material product, not an AI model that requires a training set.

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

Not applicable, as no training set is relevant for this device.

Dear Moushan Liu:

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 (the 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 available 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.

VI-1: Comparison of Pre-Sintered Zirconia Coloring Liquid

{6}------------------------------------------------

{7}------------------------------------------------

Comment 1

The Indications for Use of the two are only different in the description of the text, and the actual intended use is the same, which does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the product.And both have exactly the same intended use: as a zirconia dental ceramic colorant.

Comment 2

There are some minor differences between Pre-Sintered Zirconia Coloring Liquid and the predicate device. First, the predicate device contains HCI. HCI will be evaporated with no residue left at the sintering step after the coloring liquid is applied to the zirconia dental ceramics, so it will not cause any effect to the patients. Second, Pre-Sintered Zirconia Coloring Liquid and the predicate device both use inorganic pigments(Ferric chloride and erbium chloride belong to inorganic salts). This does not raise any safety concerns as the product is tested for biocompatibility. The inorganic pigments we use also have long established safety profiles.

Comment 3

The understanding of the product varies between manufacturers, and the Subject Device describes the working principle in more detail.

VII Summary of Non-clinical Testing (Bench)

IX Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the Pre-Sintered Zirconia Coloring Liquid is as safe as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device.

§ 872.6660 Porcelain powder for clinical use.

(a)
Identification. Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.(b)
Classification. Class II.
