Intended Use

The LOOP™ is a source of illumination for curing photo-activated dental restorative materials and adhesives.

Device Description

LOOP™ is a high-performance LED (Light Emitting Diode) light source for polymerization of dental materials used by trained dental professionals. It is suitable for use with a broad range of light-cured dental materials including materials for restoratives such as light-cured and dual-cure cements, composites, bonding agents/adhesives, bases, liners, fissure sealants, temporaries, as well as luting materials for brackets and indirect restorations such as ceramic inlays. LOOP™ consists of a wireless handpiece and a charging base with an integrated calibration station. The device is a medical electrical device in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2. LOOP™ features a patented coaxial feedback sensing system that measures the actual irradiance, which is the light power striking the targeted tooth. The feedback data allows LOOPTM to make corrective adjustments to the LED power output hundreds of times per second. This continual corrected "closed loop" operation ensures that the targeted surface of the restorative dental material receives the intended irradiance independent of operator-induced distance variations.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental device, the LOOP™ LED Curing Light System. It does not contain the detailed information necessary to fully answer your request regarding acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets those criteria, specifically concerning AI/ML capabilities, human expert adjudication, or large-scale clinical performance studies.

The provided text primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on technical specifications, intended use, and general safety and performance testing. It does not describe an AI/ML-driven device or studies that would typically involve acceptance criteria related to algorithmic performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC), human reader studies, or expert ground truth establishment for such a device.

Here's why the document doesn't provide the requested information:

  • Device Type: The LOOP™ LED Curing Light System is a physical dental curing light. It is described as having a "patented coaxial feedback sensing system that measures the actual irradiance" and makes "corrective adjustments to the LED power output." This describes a control system, not an AI/ML algorithm that makes diagnoses, predictions, or image interpretations.
  • Performance Data: The "Performance Data" section lists various engineering, electrical safety, biocompatibility, and software verification/validation tests. These are standard tests for medical devices, particularly electronic hardware. It explicitly states, "No animal or clinical studies were conducted." This confirms that no clinical performance study, particularly one involving human readers or comparative effectiveness, was performed or submitted.
  • Lack of AI/ML Specifics: There is no mention of algorithms, machine learning models, training data, test data, ground truth establishment by experts, or any of the typical components of an AI/ML device submission. The "Software Verification and Validation Testing" section refers to software as a "moderate" level of concern due to potential minor injury from failure, which is standard for embedded software in medical devices, not for AI/ML functionality.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table or answer the specific questions about AI/ML study design, expert involvement, and performance metrics because this information is not present in the provided document.

The document describes a different type of device and a different type of substantial equivalence demonstration. If you are looking for information on AI/ML device approvals, this specific document does not provide such details.

Dear Michael Tomasovich:

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/cdrb/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.

VII. Performance Data

The following performance data the substantial equivalence determination:

Biocompatibility Testing

Garrison Dental conducted cytotoxicity, hypersensitivity and reactivity biocompatibility testing because although the device does not come in contact with oral tissue on the chance that contact does occur Garrison confirmed that its product passes biocompatibility requirements.

The biocompatibility evaluation of the LOOP was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-5:2009 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-5: Test for In Vitro Cytotoxicity and ISO 10993-10:2010 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-10: Test for Irritation and Skin Sensitization as recognized by FDA as standards 2-245 and 2-174, respectively. The battery of testing included the following Tests:

  • Cytotoxicity - MEM Elution Test
  • Maximization Test for Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity in Hartley Guinea Pigs ●
  • Intracutaneous (Intradermal) Reactivity Test in New Zealand White Rabbits ●

{8}------------------------------------------------

Testing concluded that the test article did not have a cytotoxic effect, did not elicit sensitization and not elicit biologically significant irritation reactions.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electrical Safety

Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the LoOP and the Lithium-Ion battery. The system complies with the following standards:

  • IEC 60601-1 ●
  • IEC 60601-2
  • IEC 60601-1-6 ●
  • IEC 60601-1-11 ●
  • IEC 60101-2-57
  • IEC 62133 ●
  • IEC 62471 ●
  • IEC 60601-1 Clause 8 ●

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted. The software for the LOOP was considered as a "moderate" level of concern based on the determination that minor injurv could result prior to mitigation of hazards due to software failure, and because a malfunction of or a latent design flaw could result in an erroneous diagnosis or a delay in delivery of appropriate medical case that would likely lead to minor injury.

VIII. Conclusion

The LOOP™ LED Curing Light System (rev K) is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the LOOP™ LED Curing Light System (rev H). Both devices have the same intended use/users, have the same level of power output, are hand-held dental curing lights and both produce blue and UV wavelengths. The differences are in the material that the housing is made from and the user-selectable ability to disable the "closed loop" feature.
