Biomic Color Opaque is liquid used for coloring pre-sintered zirconia restorations. It is used for the internal surface of dental zirconia material prosthesis.
Biomic Color Opaque is a liquid primarily composed of Methylacryloyl propyl trimethoxy silane, deionized water, 1, 3-butanediol, ferric chloride, citric acid, cerium nitrate, erbium nitrate, cobaltous nitrate, manganous acetate, and aluminum nitrate.
This product is designed for use on the internal surface of dental zirconia material prostheses. It penetrates tightly with the zirconia surface, forming an extremely thin shade layer that reduces the internal surface permeability of the zirconia material prosthesis. The devices are intended to be used solely by dental technicians for the fabrication of zirconia restorations for individual dental patients.
For staining, the zirconia materials must be immersed into the staining solution or brushed with the liquid before sintering at high temperature. The staining solution consists of two components: Type I - a color component (A、B、C、D、W、L、M、R、S、X), and Type II - an OP component, 1:1 collocation is recommended. These components are mixed together for use on the zirconia material to achieve the desired shade.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and its accompanying summary for the "Biomic Color Opaque" device do not contain information about clinical studies or performance data related to AI/algorithm-driven performance, ground truth establishment, or multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) studies.
The document explicitly states under Section 7.0, "Summary of Clinical Test," that "Clinical testing was not required for this submission." This indicates that the device's clearance was based on non-clinical data (bench testing, biocompatibility, sterility, shelf-life) and a comparison to a predicate device, not on AI/algorithm performance. The device itself is a "Porcelain Powder For Clinical Use" (specifically a pre-sintered zirconia coloring liquid), not an AI-driven diagnostic or image analysis tool.
Therefore, it is impossible to provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth for an AI/algorithm-driven study based solely on the provided text.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance related to the physical and chemical properties of the device, as that is the type of testing described.
Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and performance as described for this specific device (a coloring liquid), not for an AI algorithm:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Non-AI Device)

Regarding the AI/Algorithm-Specific Questions:
Since the device is a dental coloring liquid and not an AI-driven device, the following information is not applicable or not provided in the document:
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable; no AI test set described.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable; no ground truth for AI performance required.
- Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
- 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.
- If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable to an AI device. The ground truth for this device's performance relates to its physical/chemical conformity to standards.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable; no AI training set.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In conclusion, the provided FDA document details the regulatory clearance for a traditional medical device (dental coloring liquid) based on its physical, chemical, and biological properties, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It does not pertain to the evaluation of an AI-powered medical device.

Dear Boyle Wang:
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.

Analysis:
The subject device is highly similar to the predicate device in terms of indications for use, design, components and processing.
The subject device is different from the predicate device in the following:
-
While the wordings differ, the two descriptions essentially refer to the same intended use of the product, which is the application of liquid for coloring presintered zirconia materials used in dental prostheses.
-
The minor difference between the materials of subject device and the predicate device will not cause any safety issues since the subject device has passed the biocompatibility test. Accordingly, it was concluded that the subject device is substantially equivalent in biocompatibility to the predicate device.
-
The color options refer to different shades or finishes, but do not change the device's function. Also, performance testing and biocompatibility test show the differences in color do not alter the fundamental safety, efficacy, or functional use of the device.
10.0 Conclusion
The conclusions drawn from the comparison and analysis above demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicated device.
