Vittra APS Unique Flow is a light-curing composite of low viscosity, with a single shade for all dental shades, suitable for minimally invasive cavity preparations, base/liner and minor repairs. The composite is radiopaque, with a total inorganic filler content of 58% to 62% by weight (56% to 60% by volume) and an average particle size between 1.7 and 1.9 micrometers. It does not contain Bis-GMA or Bis-EMA in its formulation, following the current trend of Bisphenol A (BPA) free products. The composite has the APS as a photoinitiator system, an acronym for Advanced Polymerization System, which consists of a combination of different photoinitiators that interact with each other, amplifying the curing capacity of the light emitted by the light-curing units. Added to different materials, the system provides several advantages. APS confers great polymerization power, which allows a greater degree of conversion, obtaining superior stability to ambient light and providing longer working time during restorations.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the device "Vittra APS Unique Flow", a tooth shade resin material. It describes the device, its intended use, comparison with a predicate device, and non-clinical testing results to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Here's the requested information synthesized from the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Test | Acceptance Criteria (from ISO 4049 unless specified) | Reported Device Performance (Vittra APS Unique Flow) |
|---|---|---|

| Flexural Resistance | ≥ 80 MPa (EN ISO 4049) | 123.8 MPa |
| Mimicry | No more than a small color difference (ISO 7491, ISO 4049) | Meets requirements |
| Light Passage (Syringe) | No light passage through components | Syringe provides shelter from light |
| Light Passage (Resin after Storage) | No difference in homogeneity, consistency, applicability | Physically homogeneous (for ambient light sensitivity) |
| Depth of Cure | > 1.5 mm (ISO 4049) | 3.996 mm |
| Radiopacity | > 1.0 mm against aluminum scale (ISO 4049) | 1.825 mm |
| Sensitivity to Ambient Light | Physical homogeneity of the sample | Meets requirements of ISO 4049 |

| Accelerated Stability Studies | Not explicitly stated as a numerical value; aimed to determine shelf life | Guarantees 3 years shelf life (based on 274 days study) |
| Long-Term Stability (Shelf) | Not finalized, but aimed to confirm expiration/storage conditions | Analysis not yet finalized; product commercialized based on accelerated stability |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each specific non-clinical test. The tests were conducted according to recognized standards like ISO 4049, ISO 7491, and ISO 10993. The data provenance is internal testing performed by Dentscare LTDA (Brazil), as indicated by the company information and submission details. It is a retrospective study based on laboratory testing of the device.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document mentions "observers" attested to the color stability and mimicry. However, it does not specify the number of experts, their qualifications, or how they established ground truth for these subjective assessments. For other objective tests (e.g., flexural resistance, depth of cure), the ground truth is established by the specified ISO standards and measured values.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. The tests are primarily objective measurements against established international standards (e.g., ISO 4049) or subjective assessments (color stability, mimicry) by unnamed "observers". There is no mention of a formal adjudication method for these non-clinical tests.
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 dental material (tooth shade resin), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance is not relevant to this submission.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a physical dental material; it does not involve an algorithm or AI.
7. The type of ground truth used
For most tests, the ground truth is defined by the numerical specifications and methodologies outlined in recognized international standards such as ISO 4049, ISO 7491, and those within the ISO 10993 series. For color stability and mimicry, it appears to be a form of expert observation/assessment by unnamed "observers" against acceptance criteria of "no more than a small color change/difference".
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device is a physical product and does not involve machine learning algorithms that require a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as no training set is relevant for this type of device.

Dear Rodrigo Abreu:
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.

SE Discussion:
The subject device is similar to the predicate device in that they are light activated, radio-opaque and restorative composite to be used for permanently cementing restorations. The subject device have substantially equivalent of indications for use, mode of use, technological properties and fulfil the EN ISO 4049:2019 minimum requirements. Despite the minor differences in formulation between the subject device and the predicate, they can be considered equivalent, since these differences does not affect the product's laboratorial and clinical performance and safety.
