The LOCATOR Angled Abutment is indicated for the attachment of full or partial, fixed and removable, restorations retained by endosseous implants to restore masticatory function for the patient.
The LOCATOR Angled Abutment is designed to be used with LOCATOR FIXED and LOCATOR Attachment Systems for the attachment of full or partial, fixed and removable, restorations retained by endosseous implants in the mandible or maxilla. The LOCATOR Angled Abutment consists of various height abutment bodies with an integrated abutment screw. The attachment features are identical compared to LOCATOR Abutments of the LOCATOR High Retention Attachment System (LOCATOR FIXED), cleared in K213391. The LOCATOR Angled Abutment is compatible with Straumann BLX Implant System cleared in K173961. The LOCATOR Angled Abutment will be used with the accessories of the LOCATOR Implant Attachment System (retention inserts, denture attachment housing, and ancillary processing parts) and LOCATOR FIXED Attachment System (fixed inserts, denture attachment housing) for the attachment of a restoration. The LOCATOR Angled Abutment uses identical attachment features as the LOCATOR Abutments, but instead of the attachment features being aligned coaxially, the interfacing features are provided at a 15 degree angle to allow for angle correction, substantially equivalent to the device of K190040. The LOCATOR Angled Abutments and integrated abutment screw are manufactured from titanium (Ti-6Al-4V). The LOCATOR Angled Abutment body is titanium nitride (TiN) coated, identical to LOCATOR Abutments.
The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the "LOCATOR Angled Abutment" does not describe a study involving an AI/Machine Learning (ML) device or any specific performance metrics for such a device like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC, or a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers.
This submission is for a medical device (dental implant abutment) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through physical and mechanical testing, material compatibility, and intended use.
Therefore, I cannot provide a detailed answer to your request based on the provided text, as the information required (acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, details of an AI/ML study, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, etc.) is not present.
In summary, the document does not contain the information needed to answer your questions regarding acceptance criteria and performance of an AI/ML device.

Dear Maleata Hall:
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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

To the right of the letters, the words "ZEST DENTAL" are written in a smaller, dark blue font. Below that, the word "SOLUTIONS" is written in a light blue font with a trademark symbol next to it.
vi. Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing
The critical features were identified on the OEM components (implant bodies, abutments, and abutment fixation screws), which are required for proper function. Using calibrated equipment with the appropriate accuracy the critical features were measured and documented. Using the data collected, including the variations, the specifications for the design were created. These specifications were reviewed for manufacturability. All critical tolerances were verified functionally in OEM implants.
Fatigue testing according to ISO 14801: 2016 was performed for the tallest abutment cuff height LOCATOR Angled Abutment along with the smallest diameter OEM implant.
The LOCATOR Angled Abutments are TiN coated. TiN coating performance was tested per ASTM F1044 and ASTM F1147.
The packaging of the LOCATOR Angled Abutments is equivalent to the packaging of the predicate device. Packaging and shipping validation testing was completed where the LOCATOR Angled Abutment worst case device and packaging were undamaged after the test, as desired.
Cleaning and sterilization are leverage in K072878 and this 510(k).

Image /page/8/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Zest Dental Solutions. The logo features the letters "ZD" in a stylized, connected design on the left side. To the right of the letters, the words "ZEST DENTAL" are written in a bold, sans-serif font, with the word "SOLUTIONS" appearing in a smaller font size below "DENTAL".
MR compatibility testing was conducted per ASTM F2052-15, ASTM F2213-17, ASTM F2182-19, ASTM F2119-07, and FDA guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment". The tests that were conducted are Force: static magnetic field induced displacement force, Torque: static magnetic field induced torque, Heating: Radiofrequency field (RF) induced heating, Image Quality: susceptibility induced image artifacts, Heating: Gradient field induced heating, and Vibration: Gradient field induced vibration.
An assessment for biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1 was conducted using testing from K072878 and additional cytotoxicity testing per ISO 10993-5 was provided in this submission.
No other new testing was performed as a part of this submission for the determination of substantial equivalence.
vii. Substantial Equivalence
The risk management activities and results of the testing described above provide reasonable assurance that the subject devices have demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate devices in the that they utilize the same materials and fundamental designs and also have the same intended use and principles of operation.
