Intended Use

These materials are intended for use in preparation of tooth material prior to restoration by etching of the surface.

Device Description

These materials consist of a gel containing ortho-phosphoric acid.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a dental etching gel, primarily focusing on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It explicitly states, "NON-CLINICAL DATA: Non-clinical testing includes tests for pH, acid content, adhesion and water washability. The tests indicate results for pH and acid content which are comparable within formulation and experimental accuracy. The test for adhesion indicates better adhesion of the subject device. The device is intentionally more viscous than the predicate device to improve adhesion after placement. The test for water washability indicates marginally easier washability for the predicate device. This is a direct result of the intentionally increased viscosity (and adhesion) of the subject device. The washability of the subject device is satisfactory on consideration of the method of removal. CLINICAL DATA: There is none applicable."

Therefore, based on the provided text, the device relies on non-clinical data for its acceptance criteria, and clinical data is not applicable. Without specific acceptance criteria being quantified (e.g., pH range, minimum adhesion strength, maximum washability time), a detailed table comparing acceptance criteria to device performance is not possible from this text alone.

Here's an attempt to outline the information based on the provided text, acknowledging the limitations:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria CategoryAcceptance Criteria (Not Quantified in Text)Reported Device Performance
pHComparable to predicate deviceComparable to predicate device within formulation and experimental accuracy
Acid ContentComparable to predicate deviceComparable to predicate device within formulation and experimental accuracy
AdhesionSatisfactory adherence to tooth material, improved over predicate deviceImproved adhesion compared to predicate device (intentionally more viscous)
Water WashabilitySatisfactory removal after etchingSatisfactory washability, though marginally less easy than predicate due to increased viscosity

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

  • Sample size for the test set: Not mentioned.
  • Data provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the tests were "non-clinical." This typically implies laboratory testing conducted by the manufacturer. The manufacturer is based in England.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

  • Not applicable as the data is non-clinical and does not involve expert-established ground truth for a test set in the conventional sense (e.g., diagnostic interpretation).

4. Adjudication Method

  • Not applicable.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • No, a MRMC study was not done. The document explicitly states: "CLINICAL DATA: There is none applicable."

6. Standalone Algorithm Performance Study

  • Not applicable. This is a physical dental product, not an algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The ground truth for the non-clinical tests would have been established through standardized laboratory testing methods and measurements for pH, acid content, adhesion, and washability. For example, pH would be measured with a pH meter, acid content through titration, and adhesion/washability through specific physical tests, with the predicate device serving as a benchmark for "comparable" or "satisfactory" performance.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is not a machine learning algorithm.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

  • Not applicable.

Image /page/0/Picture/10 description: The image shows three circular shapes in a row. The first circle has a complex pattern of black and white, with a large black shape in the center surrounded by white and black areas. The second circle is completely black. The third circle is mostly black with a small white spot in the center.

Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image shows a word that is difficult to read due to its stylized and somewhat distorted appearance. The word appears to be written in a bold, sans-serif font, with thick strokes that make it challenging to distinguish individual letters. The overall impression is that of a logo or a stylized wordmark, where readability is sacrificed for visual impact.

Super-Dent Etching Gel TRADE NAMES: Super-Dent Micro-Etch Gel Super-Dent Etching Gel Syringe Tips

Phosphoric acid etching gel COMMON NAME:

Dental cement accessory, phosphoric CLASSIFICATION NAME: acid etching gel

Zenith 40% Phosphoric Acid Gel EQUIVALENT TO: 510(k) No. K890464

DESCRIPTION :

These materials consist of a gel containing ortho-phosphoric acid.

INTENDED USE:

These materials are intended for use in preparation of tooth material prior to restoration by etching of the surface.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Both devices are aqueous gels containing a nominal 40% orthophosphoric acid and delivered directly to the restoration site from a syringe via a hollow applicator. Both devices are coloured for visibility in contrast with tooth material. They are sufficiently viscous to remain where placed and avoid potentially harmful contamination of more sensitive oral tissues. Both devices wash readily from the site when etching is complete.

The subject device is intentionally more viscous than the predicate device to improve adhesion after placement.

Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows a heavily distorted and obscured text string. Due to the extreme distortion and heavy black fill, individual characters are difficult to discern with certainty. The overall impression is that of a word or phrase that has been intentionally obscured or damaged.

510(k) SUMMARY (continued)

NON-CLINICAL DATA:

Non-clinical testing includes tests for pH, acid content, adhesion and water washability.

The tests indicate results for pH and acid content which are comparable within formulation and experimental accuracy.

The test for adhesion indicates better adhesion of the subject device. The device is intentionally more viscous than the predicate device to improve adhesion after placement.

The test for water washability indicates marginally easier washability for the predicate device. This is a direct result of the intentionally increased viscosity (and adhesion) of the subject device. The washability of the subject device is satisfactory on consideration of the method of removal.

CLINICAL DATA:

There is none applicable

CONCLUSIONS :

The data summarised above indicates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Any differences in performance are a result of improvements designed to render the product safer and more effective in clinical use.
