Device Description

High gold casting alloy

AI/ML Overview

This report is a 510(k) summary for a dental casting alloy, not a study evaluating an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design, expert involvement, and ground truth is not applicable.

However, I can extract information related to the comparison of the new device to a legally marketed predicate device, which can be seen as an analog to "acceptance criteria" for demonstrating substantial equivalence based on physical and chemical properties.

Here's the relevant information:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

For a 510(k) submission, the "acceptance criteria" for a new device like "Aurecast Bio 69PF" are demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device ("Jelenko Benchmark IV"). This is achieved by showing comparable composition and physical/mechanical properties. The tables below outline these comparisons.

Criterion (Predicate Device: Jelenko Benchmark IV)Reported Device Performance (Aurecast Bio 69PF)
Composition (weight%)
Au: 70Au: 69.7
Ag: 12Ag: 14
Pt: 5Pt: 3.8
Cu: 12.5Cu: 10.8

§ 872.3060 Noble metal alloy.

(a)
Identification. A noble metal alloy is a device composed primarily of noble metals, such as gold, palladium, platinum, or silver, that is intended for use in the fabrication of cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for these devices is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Noble Metal Alloys.” The devices are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9. See § 872.1(e) for availability of guidance information.
