AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA regarding a dental alloy, Deltapal. It confirms the device's substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.

The document does not contain information about:

  • Acceptance criteria for device performance.
  • A study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.
  • Sample sizes for test or training sets.
  • Data provenance.
  • Number of experts or their qualifications for ground truth.
  • Adjudication methods.
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.
  • Standalone algorithm performance.
  • Type of ground truth used.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established.

This document is a regulatory approval letter for a physical material (dental alloy), not a software or AI-driven diagnostic device. Therefore, the types of detailed performance studies and criteria you're asking for are not typically included in such an FDA clearance letter for this kind of product.

§ 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.
