    Device Description

    Adhese Universal DC is a dual-curing, single-component dental adhesive for enamel and dentin that is compatible with all etching techniques (self-etch, selective enamel etch, etch & rinse techniques). The areas of application include adhesive cementation of indirect restorations and direct restorative procedures. Adhese Universal DC is available in Free Stand Single Dose units. The applicator is coated with co-initiators required for the self-curing reaction. The initiator and adhesive are mixed together by dipping the applicator into the single dose unit containing the liquid Adhese Universal DC.

    AI/ML Overview

    The report describes "Adhese Universal DC," a dual-curing dental adhesive. It uses the "Adhese Universal" (K133318) as its predicate device. The information provided heavily focuses on the comparison between the proposed device and the predicate device, especially regarding their working principles, chemical composition, and performance specifications.

    Here's an analysis of the provided information concerning acceptance criteria and the study proving adherence:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria (Predicate: Adhese Universal)Reported Device Performance (Adhese Universal DC)
    Shear bond strength (Dentin): ≥25 MPaShear bond strength (Dentin): ≥20 MPa (Self-curing)

    Deviation Summary: The proposed device, Adhese Universal DC, has a lower acceptance criterion for shear bond strength (Dentin) at ≥20 MPa compared to the predicate's ≥25 MPa. This is explicitly noted in the document, attributing the lower value to the self-curing mode of Adhese Universal DC, which generally exhibits lower values.

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

    The document mentions "Bench testing was performed to test the physical property (shear bond strength)." However, it does not provide any specific sample sizes for this testing.

    Regarding data provenance, the document does not specify the country of origin of the data. It indicates the testing was "Bench testing," implying laboratory-based testing, but does not clarify if it was retrospective or prospective in data collection approach.

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

    This information is not provided as the "test set" and "ground truth" concepts as typically applied to AI/software validation studies (with human experts evaluating outputs) are not relevant here. This is a material science study focused on physical properties, not diagnostic accuracy requiring expert consensus.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This is not applicable as the study is a bench test measuring physical properties, not a clinical trial or diagnostic accuracy study requiring adjudication of expert opinions.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size

    This is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for assessing human reader performance in conjunction with AI. This document describes the performance of a dental adhesive, not an AI system.

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

    This is not applicable. The device is a dental adhesive, not an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" in this context is the measured physical property of "Shear bond strength (Dentin)" obtained through laboratory bench testing according to established standards. It's an objective measurement rather than expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the typical sense of AI/diagnostic studies.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This is not applicable. The concept of a "training set" relates to machine learning models. This document describes a physical product, not a software algorithm.

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

    This is not applicable for the same reasons as #8.

    Summary of the Study and How it Proves Acceptance Criteria:

    The study proving the device meets its acceptance criteria is a non-clinical performance bench test. Specifically, it involved measuring the shear bond strength (Dentin) of the Adhese Universal DC in its self-curing mode.

    The acceptance criterion for Adhese Universal DC's shear bond strength (Dentin) in self-curing mode was set at ≥20 MPa. While the document states that "The specification for Adhese Universal DC describes lower values (20 MPa) for shear bond strength (dentin) compared to Adhese Universal (25 MPa) due to the self-curing mode," it does not explicitly report the obtained value from the bench testing for Adhese Universal DC. It only states the specification. To definitively prove the device meets the acceptance criteria, the actual measured performance data of Adhese Universal DC on shear bond strength would need to be compared against the ≥20 MPa criterion. The document implies compliance through the "Summary of Performance Specification" which states, "The specification for Adhese Universal DC describes lower values (20 MPa) for shear bond strength (dentin) compared to Adhese Universal (25 MPa) due to the self-curing mode of Adhese Universal DC which generally shows lower values." This statement argues for the reason for the lower criterion but doesn't report the achieved value against that criterion.

    The study also included Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-1:2018, ISO 7405:2018, and ISO 14971:2012. The conclusion from this testing was that "The results of the Biocompatibility Assessment for Adhese Universal DC is substantially equivalent to the results of the Biocompatibility Assessment for the predicate device Adhese Universal." This demonstrates the device meets biocompatibility safety criteria by showing equivalence to a legally marketed predicate.

    In essence, the study framework described is a comparative non-clinical bench study focusing on physical properties and biocompatibility to establish substantial equivalence to a predicate device for regulatory clearance.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable. The "ground truth" for material properties is defined by the standards and physical testing methodologies.

    8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is material testing, not an AI model.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    Biocompatibility:

    The biocompatibility evaluation was performed according to ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 7405:2018, and ISO 14971:2019. The evaluation concluded:

    • Not cytotoxic
    • No sensitizing potential for lithium disilicate glass-ceramic blocks (LS2)
    • Does not induce oral mucosal irritation
    • No potential for material-mediated pyrogenicity
    • No risks for acute, sub-acute, sub-chronic toxicity
    • Not genotoxic
    • Negligible risk of carcinogenicity
    • No direct contact to pulp or dentin.

    Conclusion of the study:

    The study concludes that IPS e.max® One is substantially equivalent to the predicate device IPS e.max CAD based on the non-clinical performance testing and biocompatibility assessment, despite differences in chemical composition and the elimination of a crystallization step for the new device. The new device covers similar indications (veneers, inlays, onlays, and crowns) but lacks the indication for bridges that the predicate device has.

    Intended Use

    For treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity secondary to exposed dentin and root cervical surfaces.

    Device Description

    Cervitec®F is a dental varnish for the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity secondary to exposed dentin and root cervical surfaces. The varnish system is characterized by its good moisture tolerance during application. Cervited in either a Tube (4gm, 7gm) or Single Dose (0.26gm) delivery form.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document describes the substantial equivalence of the Cervitec F dental varnish to its predicate devices, primarily Fluor Protector S (K131487), based on non-clinical performance testing and biocompatibility assessments. It does not contain information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria related to its clinical efficacy in treating dentinal hypersensitivity or exposed dentin and root cervical surfaces using metrics typically found in medical device studies (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC).

    Instead, the acceptance criteria and supporting study are focused on demonstrating that Cervitec F adheres to a relevant standard for fluoride varnishes and is biocompatible.

    Here's a breakdown of the information available based on your request:

    1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    Acceptance Criteria (from EN ISO 17730:2014)Reported Device Performance (Cervitec® F)
    Total fluoride content shall not deviate by more than 20% from the stated amount on the package.Fulfilled. The product complies with the requirements as defined by ISO 17730:2014, including the total fluoride content criteria.

    Biocompatibility (as per EN ISO 10993-1:2009 and EN ISO 7405:2008) - Non-cytotoxicIs neither cytotoxic.
    Biocompatibility - Not of acute or subchronic systemic toxicityIs not of acute or subchronic systemic toxicity.
    Biocompatibility - Not genotoxicIs not genotoxic.
    Biocompatibility - Does not induce oral mucosal irritationDoes not induce oral mucosal irritation.
    Biocompatibility - Low sensitization potentialHas a low sensitization potential.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Non-clinical performance testing (ISO 17730:2014): Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "Specific physical properties have been assessed and verified," but details on the number of samples or methodology are not provided. These are generally laboratory tests on product batches.
    • Biocompatibility testing: Not explicitly stated. Biocompatibility tests usually involve in vitro assays and in vivo animal studies, but the number of samples or subjects is not mentioned.

    The provenance of this data is internal testing conducted by the manufacturer, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, to demonstrate compliance with international standards. It's retrospective in the sense that these tests were performed to support the 510(k) submission.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    This information is not applicable and not provided. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance and biocompatibility refers to the established standards (ISO 17730:2014, EN ISO 10993-1:2009, EN ISO 7405:2008) themselves, and the device's adherence to their requirements as measured through laboratory and biological tests. There are no human "experts" establishing a clinical ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis in this context.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in clinical studies, particularly for diagnostic devices where human reader interpretations are compared. This document describes non-clinical and biocompatibility testing.

    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:

    No. This type of study (MRMC, AI assistance) is not mentioned and is not relevant for a dental varnish approval for dentinal hypersensitivity. The device is a direct treatment, not a diagnostic or AI-powered assistive technology for human readers.

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

    Not applicable. This device is a manual application dental varnish, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used:

    • For non-clinical performance: The ground truth is defined by the specifications set out in the international standard EN ISO 17730:2014 "Dentistry – fluoride varnishes," particularly regarding the total fluoride content.
    • For biocompatibility: The ground truth is established by the accepted scientific and regulatory principles for biocompatibility testing as outlined in EN ISO 10993-1:2009 and EN ISO 7405:2008, determining whether the material elicits an adverse biological response.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI-driven 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.

    Intended Use

    Barrier Sleeves are intended to serve as a disposable barrier for dental instruments and equipment. This device is non-sterile and intended for single patient use only.

    Device Description

    Barrier Sleeves are made of polyethylene film and are used as accessories to dental instruments and equipment used during dental procedures. These disposable barrier sleeves are offered in various shapes and sizes to fit over and cover the intended dental instruments and equipment. The disposable Barrier Sleeves slip over the ends of the respective devices, allowing for the attachment of the devices used during dental procedures. Barrier Sleeves act as a physical barrier, augmenting existing infection control techniques, and facilitate clean-up.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for "Barrier Sleeves" by Ivoclar Vivadent, AG. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving a new device's independent efficacy through a "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of, for example, an AI/ML medical device.

    The "acceptance criteria" here are based on the similarity to the predicate device and meeting established performance standards for surgical drapes/barrier materials. The study described is a series of non-clinical bench tests and biocompatibility assessments.

    Here's how to structure the information based on your request, with the understanding that this is not an AI/ML device study, but rather a traditional medical device submission for substantial equivalence:

    Device: Barrier Sleeves (K191448)

    Intended Use: "Barrier Sleeves are intended to serve as a disposable barrier for dental instruments and equipment. This device is non-sterile and intended for single patient use only."

    The claim of substantial equivalence is supported by demonstrating that the Barrier Sleeves have the same intended use, fundamental technology, working principle, material composition, and comparable performance properties to the predicate device (Disposable Barrier Sleeves and Covers, K160232) manufactured by the same supplier.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    For this type of device, "acceptance criteria" are implied by demonstrating equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device and meeting relevant industry standards for barrier materials. The study is a series of physical and biological tests.

    This section is not applicable for this type of medical device submission. Ground truth, in the context of AI/ML or diagnostic devices, is typically established by medical professionals reviewing images or patient data. For a barrier sleeve, "ground truth" refers to meeting the chemical, physical, and biological performance standards, which are evaluated by laboratory testing under defined ASTM and ISO standards, not by expert medical review of "cases."


    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are used for resolving disagreements among human reviewers of medical data (e.g., radiologists interpreting images). The "test set" here involves laboratory measurements against established standards.


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

    No. MRMC studies are performed to assess the impact of AI on human reader performance, typically in diagnostic imaging. This device is a physical barrier and does not involve human interpretation or AI assistance.


    6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

    Not applicable. This is not an algorithmic or software device.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    For this device, the "ground truth" is defined by established engineering and biocompatibility standards (e.g., ASTM F1670/F1670M for synthetic blood penetration, ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity). The device performance is measured against these standards and compared to the predicate device. It is not based on medical outcomes data or expert consensus in the diagnostic sense.


    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML device, so there is no concept of a "training set" for an algorithm.


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

    Not applicable. As per point 8, there is no training set for this device.

    Intended Use

    Helioseal F Plus is used to seal fissures, pits and foramina caeca.

    Device Description

    Helioseal® F Plus is a light-curing, white shaded fissure sealant featuring fluoride release. Helioseal F Plus is supplied in either a syringe or cavifil delivery form. The fissure sealant is composed of dimethacrylates. In the handling technique, the dental professional will clean the enamel surface to be sealed, isolate the working field, conditioning is performed, a thorough rinse and dry to remove the conditioner, before the application of Helioseal F Plus to the tooth surface.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental device, specifically a pit and fissure sealant. It demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing a performance study proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria as would be typical for an AI/ML medical device.

    Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design for AI/ML performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, ground truth establishment, and MRMC studies is not applicable to this document.

    The document primarily focuses on demonstrating equivalence through:

    • Comparison to Predicate Device: Detailed comparison of indications for use, contraindications, technology, principles of operation, and physical properties between Helioseal F Plus (subject device) and Helioseal F (predicate device).
    • Bench Testing: Non-clinical performance testing for physical properties (flexural strength, curing depth, light intensity, wavelength for curing, water sorption, water solubility, radio-opacity) in accordance with FDA Guidance and EN ISO 6874:2015.
    • Biocompatibility Testing: Evaluation for cytotoxicity and genotoxicity according to ISO 10993-1, ISO 7405, and ISO 14971.

    The conclusion states that the devices are substantially equivalent, implying that the new device performs similarly to the already legally marketed predicate device. There are no acceptance criteria, in the sense of accuracy/recall/precision metrics for an AI/ML algorithm, or a human reader study, included in this type of submission.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the Tetric® CAD device:

    This document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a standalone study with acceptance criteria for the new device's performance against specific clinical benchmarks. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in terms of clinical efficacy is not directly available in this type of submission. Instead, the focus is on showing similarity in functional performance and safety compared to an already approved device.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Given that this is a substantial equivalence claim, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly that the new device (Tetric® CAD) performs comparably or better than the predicate device (Cerasmart K133824) for the listed physical properties. The data presented are for comparison.

    Storage Conditions2 - 28 °C / 36 - 82 °F, avoid sunlight4 - 25 °C / 39.2 - 77.0 °F, away from direct sunlight and high humidity

    Note on Acceptance Criteria: For a 510(k), "acceptance criteria" mainly revolve around demonstrating the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate. For physical properties, this usually means meeting or exceeding the predicate's performance when tested under relevant standards. The document explicitly states "the results of the bench testing show the products to be substantially equivalent," meaning the Tetric® CAD met the implicit acceptance criterion of being comparable.


    The subsequent points (2-9) are largely not applicable or not explicitly detailed in the provided 510(k) summary because this document focuses on bench testing and biocompatibility for material properties and substantial equivalence, rather than clinical efficacy studies with human subjects.

    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 for test set: Not explicitly stated for specific tests like flexural strength or water solubility in the summary. For ISO standard compliance (like ISO 10477 and ISO 6872), specific sample sizes are prescribed by the standards, but these aren't given in this summary.
    • Data provenance: Not specified in the summary. This would typically be from the manufacturer's R&D labs.
    • Retrospective or prospective: Not applicable for bench (non-clinical) testing.

    The following points (3-6) are typically relevant for clinical studies, which are not detailed in this 510(k) summary for Tetric® CAD, as the focus is on material properties and substantial equivalence through bench testing.

    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. This pertains to clinical studies often involving expert review of images or patient outcomes. The provided document details bench testing of material properties and biocompatibility, which does not involve establishing ground truth by human experts in this manner.

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

    • Not Applicable. This is for clinical studies with human assessors.

    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 type of study is typically for diagnostic AI devices, not for dental restorative materials like Tetric® CAD.

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

    • Not Applicable. This refers to AI algorithm performance.

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

    • For Flexural Strength and Water Solubility: The "ground truth" is established by the standardized measurement methods defined in ISO 6872:2015 and ISO 10477:2004, respectively.
    • For Biocompatibility: The "ground truth" is determined by the results of specific in-vitro tests for cytotoxicity (EN ISO 7405:2008 + A1:2013; ISO 10993-5:2009) and genotoxicity (ISO 10993-3:2014), following the principles of ISO 10993-1:2009 + AC:2010.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not Applicable. This is relevant for AI models. The document describes a material and its testing, not an AI system.

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

    • Not Applicable. This is relevant for AI models.
