Summary of the "Study" (Rationale for Substantial Equivalence):
The submission argues for substantial equivalence by demonstrating that the new iBond Self Etch formulation is comparable to its predicate (HK Bond K063062) despite minor modifications (addition of a stabilizer, change in rheological additive). The key elements of the "study" are:
- Comparison of Technical Characteristics: A detailed table highlights that many parameters (content of BHT, indications for use, visual appearance, pH, refractive index, application, dwell time, curing time, compatibility) remain the same.
- Performance Testing: The crucial difference in shear bond strength was tested, and the new formulation exceeded the predicate's performance requirement (>15 MPa for predicate vs. ≥20 MPa for new formulation).
- Biocompatibility Evaluation: The biological compatibility was verified in accordance with EN ISO 10993. A toxicologist reviewed the leachable compounds, concluding that the safety is equivalent to the predicate. No in vivo toxicity studies were performed on the new formulation due to low exposure and animal welfare, relying on the previous testing of the predicate and the toxicological assessment of leachable compounds.
- Risk Analysis: A risk analysis according to ISO 14791 was conducted, concluding that the safety of the new formulation is substantially equivalent.
- Improved Usability: The new formulation offers improved convenience (no refrigeration required, no shaking necessary) while maintaining or improving performance.
In essence, the study is a series of laboratory tests and regulatory assessments to confirm that the minor formulation changes do not negatively impact the device's safety and effectiveness and, in some cases, improve its performance and user convenience.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) for any of the non-clinical or clinical evaluations.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document mentions "experts" involved in the clinical evaluation ("A positive benefit versus risk ratio can be stated by the experts for Flexitime Fast & Scan"). However, it does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience").
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
The document does not describe any specific adjudication method for establishing ground truth or evaluating the test results.
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
This device is a dental impression material, not an AI or imaging device that would typically involve human readers or AI assistance. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving AI assistance would not be applicable or expected. The document does not mention any such study.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
As mentioned above, this is a dental impression material, not an algorithm, so a standalone algorithm performance study is not applicable.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the clinical evaluation, the "ground truth" seems to be derived from a "critical evaluation [that] followed the procedures outlined in the corresponding clinical evaluation plan" and resulted in a "positive benefit versus risk ratio" as stated by experts. For physical properties, the "ground truth" is adherence to international standards like EN ISO 4823. For biocompatibility, it's adherence to EN ISO 10993. These rely on established scientific and regulatory benchmarks.
8. The sample size for the training set
The document refers to the product as a "revised version" of existing products (Flexitime Dynamix Putty, Flexitime Light Flow, and Flexitime Medium Flow) and that the materials were "based on the existing materials D 919 (Flexitime Light Flow and Flexitime Medium Flow) and Flexitime Dynamix Putty." It also mentions "accepted laboratory prototypes" (JAG 165-02/ULL 1150-2, FRM 14240-1/FRM 14242-1, and ULL 1152-1/ULL 1152-2) used for target-performance comparisons and further development. However, it does not provide specific sample sizes that would constitute a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models, as this is a material science product.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Given that this is a material, not an AI system, the concept of a "training set" and its "ground truth" in the AI sense is not directly applicable. However, the development process involved utilizing "existing materials" and "laboratory prototypes" for which target performance requirements were established. These requirements likely served as the "ground truth" or benchmarks during the experimental and development phases to ensure the new formulation met the desired characteristics (e.g., scannability, mechanical properties, hydrophilicity). These benchmarks would have been established through established material science testing methodologies and regulatory standards (e.g., EN ISO 4823).
