    Dental casting alloy used in combination with dental ceramics for fabrication of metallo-ceramic restoration.

    Device Description

    High gold casting alloy

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a dental casting alloy, AURELUX 77. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Jelenko Jel 96) rather than proving device performance against specific acceptance criteria in a clinical or standalone study as one would expect for an AI/CADe device.

    Therefore, the information required to answer the prompt (acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance) is not present in this document because it describes the submission of a material device, not a software or AI-driven device.

    However, I can extract the comparison data between the new device and the predicate device, which serves as the "performance" demonstrated for this type of submission.

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

    The acceptance criteria for this type of device are intrinsic to demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device. This means the new device's characteristics should be similar enough to the predicate device that it doesn't raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The comparison table below effectively acts as the "performance" data against these implicit acceptance criteria of substantial equivalence.

    Intended Use

    Dental Casting alloy used for fabrication of metallo-ceramic restorations in conjunction with dental ceramics of thermal expansion co-efficient not less than 16.3 x 10 -9K. (25 - 600°C)

    Device Description

    High gold casting alloy

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for AURENORM 68, a dental casting alloy, and its comparison to a legally marketed predicate device, Jelenko Allround 4. The focus is on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics rather than clinical performance from a study. Therefore, the request for "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" as it pertains to AI/medical imaging performance metrics cannot be fully answered in the typical sense.

    However, I can extract and structure the information provided in a way that aligns with the spirit of your request, interpreting "acceptance criteria" as the comparison points for demonstrating substantial equivalence and "reported device performance" as the properties of AURENORM 68.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    For medical devices applying for 510(k) clearance, the "acceptance criteria" for demonstrating substantial equivalence often involve showing that the new device has similar technological characteristics (composition, physical, and mechanical properties) and intended use as a predicate device. The "study" in this context is the comparison of these characteristics.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    This information is not applicable to the provided document. The submission is a 510(k) summary for a material (dental alloy) and does not involve a clinical study with a test set of data like an AI/imaging device would. The "test methods applied" refer to industry standards for material testing (ANSI/ADA 5, ISO 1562, and 9693), not a clinical trial or performance evaluation using patient data.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    Not applicable. Ground truth as typically understood in AI/imaging studies (e.g., expert consensus on medical images) is not relevant for this type of device submission. The "ground truth" here is the measured physical and chemical properties of the alloy.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    Not applicable. No expert adjudication for a test set is described.

    5. 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. This is not a study involving human readers or AI assistance.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. This is a material submission, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    The "ground truth" in this context would be the empirical measurements of the chemical composition and physical/mechanical properties of the alloy (Aurenorm 68 and Allround 4) adhering to the specified industry standards (ANSI/ADA 5, ISO 1562, and 9693).

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. There is no training set in the context of this device submission.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable. There is no training set mentioned in the document.

    Intended Use

    Dental casting alloy used in combination with dental ceramics for fabrication of metallo-ceramic restoration.

    Device Description

    High gold casting alloy

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a dental casting alloy, AURELUX Bio Y85PF. The primary study presented is a comparison between the new device and a legally marketed predicate device (Argen Argedent Bio Yellow PF) based on composition and physical/mechanical properties. The overall conclusion is that the new alloy is "substantially equivalent" to the predicate, implying it meets similar performance characteristics.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of a numerical threshold that must be met. Instead, the acceptance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The performance is reported as a direct comparison of physical and mechanical properties and composition. The implication is that if the new device's properties are comparable to the predicate, it meets the "acceptance criteria" for substantial equivalence.

    Property/Test MethodPredicate Device (Argedent Bio Y PF)New Device (Aurelux BioY85PF)Implicit Acceptance Criteria (Comparative)
    Composition (weight%)
    Au86.584.5Similar (% within reasonable range for the type of alloy)
    Pt10.412Similar
    Zn1.51.8Similar
    Ta0.30Similar (absence noted, considered insignificant due to oxidation/elimination)
    In0.20.5Similar
    Ir01.2Similar
    Rh0.90Similar
    Mr0.10Similar (absence noted, considered insignificant due to oxidation/elimination)
    Physical/Mechanical Properties
    Melting point range (solid.)1040 °C1027 °CComparable
    Melting point range (liquid)1130 °C1079 °CComparable
    Hardness (Vickers 5/30) (soft)180120Comparable
    Hardness (Vickers 5/30) (hard)250220Comparable
    Yield strength (MPa) (soft)650280Comparable
    Yield strength (MPa) (hard)750460Comparable
    Elongation (%) (soft)817Comparable
    Elongation (%) (hard)57Comparable
    CTE (x10^-6/°C)14.514.4Comparable
    Density (g/cm³)18.618.8Comparable

    Note on "Acceptance Criteria": For an equivalence study like this, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly that the measured properties of the new device are sufficiently close to those of the predicate device to justify the claim of substantial equivalence. The document concludes: "On the basis of the very high noble metal content and essentially same constitution it may be expected that the new alloy perform very similarly to Argident B Y PF." This statement serves as the justification for meeting the implicit acceptance criteria.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    • Sample Size: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of number of manufactured devices tested. Instead, it presents specific compositional percentages and physical/mechanical property values, which are likely derived from laboratory testing of material samples. The number of samples per test is not detailed.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data. Given the address of the applicant (Aurex Precious Metal Industries, Republic of South Africa), it's reasonable to infer the testing was conducted there or by a contracted lab. The data is retrospective, as it compares the new device's properties to a pre-existing, legally marketed predicate device.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

    Not applicable. This study does not involve expert evaluation of clinical images or diagnostic outcomes. The "ground truth" here is objective material science data (composition, physical/mechanical properties) as measured by standard test methods (ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693).

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. There is no adjudication method described as this is not a study requiring expert consensus or multiple readings.

    5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This is a material science comparison for a dental casting alloy, not a diagnostic device involving human readers or cases.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-based device.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used is objective material science data derived from standardized laboratory test methods (ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693) for:

    • Elemental composition (weight percentage of metals)
    • Physical properties (melting point range, density, CTE)
    • Mechanical properties (hardness, yield strength, elongation)

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or algorithm-based device, so there is no concept of a "training set."

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

    Not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth established for one.

    Device Description

    High gold casting alloy

    AI/ML Overview

    I am sorry, but the provided text describes a 510(k) submission for a dental casting alloy named AURECAST 92. This document is a regulatory submission for a material, not a medical device that would involve a study with acceptance criteria, sample sizes, expert ground truth, or human-in-the-loop performance as you've requested.

    The document focuses on comparing the AURECAST 92 alloy to a legally marketed predicate device (Argenco Bio10) based on composition, physical, and mechanical properties. The acceptance is based on the substantial equivalence of these material properties, rather than performance metrics of a device against specific clinical or diagnostic criteria.

    Therefore, I cannot extract the information required for the table and bullet points you provided, as those concepts (like sample size for test sets, ground truth by experts, MRMC studies, standalone performance) are not applicable to the type of device and submission described in the text.

It does not describe an AI/ML device or a study with acceptance criteria and device performance in the way requested in the prompt.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories are not applicable to the provided text. I will address the relevant information that can be extracted.

    Not Applicable:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This document is a 510(k) submission, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not on meeting specific, predefined acceptance criteria for a new AI/ML device performance. The "performance" here is comparison to a predicate.
    • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: There isn't a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML device. The comparison is based on material properties.
    • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable.
    • Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
    • If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: Not applicable for a dental alloy.
    • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable for a dental alloy.
    • The type of ground truth used: Not applicable in the AI/ML sense. The "ground truth" for this submission is established chemical composition and physical properties measured by standard methods.

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the Palceram 56 dental casting alloy, addressing your request for acceptance criteria and study details.

    Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device seeking market clearance in the US. For such devices, often the "study" proving acceptance criteria is a comparison to a legally marketed predicate device demonstrating substantial equivalence, rather than a standalone clinical trial in the way a pharmaceutical might have. This document primarily focuses on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as an existing one through comparison of material properties.


    Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly linked to the properties of the legally marketed predicate device, "Aurium Aurolite IK." The new device, "Palceram 56," is considered acceptable if its properties are comparable or within acceptable ranges relative to the predicate. The document doesn't explicitly state numerical acceptance thresholds for each property, but rather presents a side-by-side comparison to demonstrate similarity.

    Dental casting alloy used in combination with dental ceramics for fabrication of metallo-ceramic restoration.

    Device Description

    Medium gold casting alloy

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental casting alloy, AUREBOND 51. The information provided is primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, Jelenko Olympia, rather than presenting a study proving the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria for an AI/ML medical device.

    Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design for AI/ML performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment is not present in this document. This typically applies to AI/ML software as a medical device (SaMD) or as part of a medical device (SiMD).

    Here's an attempt to answer the questions based only on the provided text, recognizing its limitations for the requested context:

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

    Based on the document, the "acceptance criteria" are implied to be the ranges and values of the predicate device (Jelenko Olympia) for its composition and physical/mechanical properties. The "reported device performance" are the measured values for the new device (Aurebond 51).

    PropertyPredicate Device (Olympia) CriteriaNew Device (Aurebond 51) PerformanceAcceptance/Comparison
    Composition (weight%)
    Au51.551.4Similar

    CTE (x10^-6/°C)14.213.9Similar
    Density (g/cm^3)13.714.0Similar

    Conclusion from the document: "Essentially similar composition, only slight difference in mechanical properties." This indicates that the observed differences were deemed acceptable for substantial equivalence.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Sample Size: Not specified. Standard material testing would use multiple samples, but the exact number isn't in the provided text.
    • Data Provenance: The device manufacturer (Aurex) is in the Republic of South Africa. The testing methods applied are "as in ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693," which are international standards for dental materials. The raw data origin (country, retrospective/prospective) is not specified.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    This is not applicable to a material testing submission. "Ground truth" in this context would be physical and chemical measurements performed according to established standards, not expert consensus or interpretation.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    Not applicable. Material testing follows standardized methods, not expert adjudication.

    5. 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. This is a material science submission, not an AI/ML diagnostic device.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. This is a material science submission, not an AI/ML diagnostic device.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by standardized physical and chemical testing methods using laboratory equipment, as referenced by ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693 standards.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for a dental casting alloy named PALAUREX 78, seeking to establish its substantial equivalence to a legally marketed device, Jelenko Freedom Plus. It is not a study proving a device meets acceptance criteria in the typical sense of a clinical or performance study with defined performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or reader improvement. This document is a pre-market notification to the FDA, demonstrating that a new device is as safe and effective as a predicate device.

    Therefore, the requested information elements such as "sample size for the test set," "number of experts," "adjudication method," "MRMC comparative effectiveness study," and "standalone performance" are not applicable to this type of submission. This submission focuses on comparing the new device's technological characteristics (composition and physical/mechanical properties) to a legally marketed predicate device.

    Here's the information that can be extracted from your input, framed within the context of substantial equivalence rather than traditional acceptance criteria:

    1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The "acceptance criteria" for this 510(k) submission are not explicit numerical thresholds for clinical performance (like accuracy metrics). Instead, the acceptance criterion is demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Jelenko Freedom Plus, by showing similar technological characteristics and an expectation of similar biological effect and intended use. The "reported device performance" is a comparison of these characteristics.
