AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for a prophy paste, which is a dental abrasive used for cleaning teeth. It does not present acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets said criteria in the way typically found for medical devices that utilize algorithms or AI.

The information provided describes:

  • Device Name: Prophy paste
  • Manufacturer: Challenge Products, Inc.
  • Predicate Device: Challenge Products, Inc. Prophy Paste (K940496)
  • Device Description: A prophy paste used by dental professionals to help remove resistant stains.
  • Intended Use: To help remove materia alba, plaque, and resistant stains from teeth.
  • Technological Characteristics: Minor differences from the predicate, not impacting safety or effectiveness.
  • Safety Review: A review of 11 MDR records related to FDA product code "EJR" (prophy paste).

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or answer the questions related to acceptance criteria, algorithm performance, ground truth, or study methodology because this information is not present in the provided text. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, a different regulatory pathway than showing performance against pre-defined acceptance criteria through a study for a novel device or AI.
