2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document does not specify the sample sizes used for each of the physical and mechanical tests. It also does not directly state the data provenance in terms of country of origin or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. It only mentions that "All tests were performed according to GLP requirements," which implies a certain standard of research practice but not the specific design or origin.
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 information is not applicable to this type of device and study. The testing for the PEEK Biosolution material is based on standardized physical and mechanical property measurements, not on expert interpretation of medical images or clinical outcomes that would require a "ground truth" established by human experts.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used in studies involving human interpretation or clinical endpoints, where disagreements between evaluators need to be resolved. The tests performed for this device are objective measurements of material properties.
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
An MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not applicable to this device. This type of study assesses the performance of diagnostic devices, especially those involving human interpretation, and often in the context of AI assistance. PEEK Biosolution is a dental material, not a diagnostic tool or an AI-powered system designed to assist human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable to the PEEK Biosolution device as it is a physical dental material, not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the physical and mechanical testing: The "ground truth" in this context refers to the established scientific and engineering principles and the measurement methods defined by international standards (e.g., ISO 11357, ISO 62, ISO 10477, ISO 1183, ISO 20795-1). The device's performance is compared against these predetermined criteria as defined by the standards and often to the predicate device's measured performance.
For biocompatibility: The ground truth was established by recognized standards like ISO 10993-1 and USP Class VI, which define the acceptable biological response of materials in contact with the body.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable as PEEK Biosolution is a physical dental material and does not involve AI or machine learning models that require training sets.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable for the same reason as #8.

Additional components are coloring agents that include: titanium dioxide, iron oxide yellow, iron oxide black, iron oxide red, azocondensation pigment red, and rayon fibers for veined shades.
This document describes the M-PM-Disc (Pink), a dental device used for the fabrication of dental bases for removable dentures. The submission is a 510(k) premarket notification to the FDA. The following information addresses the requested points based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for the M-PM-Disc (Pink) are based on international standards for dentistry (ISO 10477 and ISO 20795-1). The device's performance is reported directly against these standards.
Physical Parameter | Standard (ISO) | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit: Meet Standard) | Reported Device Performance (OMP-N) |
---|---|---|---|
Flexural strength (MPa) | 10477 | Meets ISO 10477 requirements | 93.4 |
Water sorption (ug/mm³) | 10477 | Meets ISO 10477 requirements | 26.5 |
Water solubility (ug/mm³) | 10477 | Meets ISO 10477 requirements | 0.2 |
Flexural modulus (MPa) | 20795-1 | Meets ISO 20795-1 requirements | 2678 ± 74 |
Flexural strength (MPa) | 20795-1 | Meets ISO 20795-1 requirements | 90 ± 1.5 |
Residual methyl methacrylate (Mass % Fraction) | 20795-1 | Meets ISO 20795-1 requirements | 1.14 |
Fracture Toughness (Kmax) (MPa m^1/2) | 20795-1 | Meets ISO 20795-1 requirements | 1.41 ± 0.04 |
Fracture work (Wf) (J/m2) | 20795-1 | Meets ISO 20795-1 requirements | 202 ± 13 |
The device also underwent biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-5 (in vitro cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10.2 (guinea pig sensitization model), and "met the applicable standards", showing it was nontoxic and non-sensitizing.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the test sets used for each specific physical parameter measurement. However, typical laboratory testing for material properties involves multiple samples to ensure statistical significance. The data provenance is implied to be from Merz Dental GmbH's internal testing, as they "tested OMP-N for physical/chemical properties and biocompatibility." The country of origin of the data would be Germany, given Merz Dental GmbH's address. The data is prospective, generated specifically for this regulatory submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This document does not involve a test set requiring expert ground truth in the way a medical imaging AI would. The "ground truth" for the material properties is established by the standardized testing methodologies of ISO 10477 and ISO 20795-1. The experts involved would be the laboratory technicians and scientists performing the tests and interpreting the results according to these international standards. Their qualifications would involve expertise in materials science, mechanical testing, and adherence to ISO guidelines.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. The evaluation of material properties by objective, standardized laboratory tests does not typically involve human adjudication in the same way clinical diagnostic assessments do. Results are typically measured directly and compared against pre-defined thresholds within the ISO standards.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a material for dental fabrication, not a diagnostic AI tool that would involve human readers interpreting cases.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Yes, in a sense, a "standalone" evaluation of the material properties was performed. The OMP-N PMMA material was tested in isolation, and its physical and biocompatibility characteristics were measured and compared directly against performance standards. There is no "human-in-the-loop" performance associated with the material's inherent properties.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for evaluating the M-PM-Disc (Pink) is based on established international standards for dentistry (ISO 10477, ISO 20795-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10.2). These standards define the acceptable range or minimum/maximum values for various physical, chemical, and biological properties of dental polymer materials.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This submission is for a material (M-PM-Disc), not an AI algorithm. Therefore, there is no concept of a "training set" in the context of machine learning. The robust properties of the PMMA material are inherent to its composition and manufacturing process.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI algorithm. The material's properties (strength, water sorption, etc.) are intrinsic and established through standardized scientific testing processes.

For use as a milling blank in the fabrication of provisional crowns and bridges.
Discs of PMMA in two sizes and three shades for milling into provisional crowns and bridges
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental device, specifically a "Wieland Zeno CAO temporary PMMA disc, tooth-colored." This device is a material for fabricating provisional crowns and bridges, not an AI/ML powered device. As such, the concept of "acceptance criteria for an AI device" and the associated study characteristics (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance) are not applicable to the information provided in this document.
The document states that the device was tested for compliance to ISO 3336 and ISO 10993. These are standards for dental materials and biocompatibility, respectively. The acceptance criteria would be defined by these ISO standards, and the "study" would be the testing performed to demonstrate compliance with these material properties and safety standards.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request as formatted for an AI/ML powered device using the given text. The information required (e.g., number of experts, adjudication methods, AI performance metrics) is simply not present because the device is a physical dental material and not a software-based diagnostic or analytical tool.

artegral ImCrown is indicated for use as a provisional anterior crown when fitted with the CEREC 3D and inLab.
Various shapes and sizes of preformed anterior crowns composed of IPN-PMMA with an attachment device for use in the CEREC 3D and inLab Systems.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental device, "artegra® ImCrown," which is a preformed temporary crown. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study to prove performance against specific acceptance criteria with quantifiable metrics.
Therefore, many of the requested elements for describing an acceptance criteria study (such as sample size for test sets, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, specific training set details) are not applicable or not explicitly stated in this type of regulatory submission.
Here's an analysis based on the information provided, highlighting what is (and isn't) present:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
This document does not provide a table of acceptance criteria with specific performance metrics for the device. Instead, the "device performance" is primarily demonstrated by compliance with established international standards and a statement of intended use, implying that if it meets these standards, it is suitable for its intended purpose.
Acceptance Criteria (Inferred) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Compliance to ISO 3336 | Tested for compliance |
Compliance to ISO 10993 | Tested for compliance |
Suitable for intended use as provisional anterior crown when fitted with CEREC 3D and inLab Systems | artegral® ImCrown is indicated for use as a provisional anterior crown when fitted with the CEREC 3D and inLab Systems |
Substantial equivalence to predicate devices (Temporary Crown and Bridge Resin) | Found substantially equivalent by FDA |
Explanation:
- ISO 3336: Specifies requirements for dental polymeric materials for crowns and bridges. Compliance implies the material properties (e.g., strength, durability, biocompatibility) meet a recognized standard. Without the full test report, specific acceptance values (e.g., flexural strength > X MPa) are not provided in this summary.
- ISO 10993: Covers biological evaluation of medical devices. Compliance implies the device materials are biocompatible and do not pose unacceptable biological risks. Again, specific acceptance criteria (e.g., no cytotoxicity detected in X assay) are not detailed here.
- Intended Use Statement: Demonstrating that the device can fulfill its intended purpose, which is to function as a provisional anterior crown when used with specified systems. The FDA clearance confirms its suitability for this indication.
- Substantial Equivalence: This is the primary "performance metric" for a 510(k). The device performs "as well as" or "similarly to" a legally marketed predicate device.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified in the provided summary. Testing for ISO standards often involves a specific number of samples for each test (e.g., mechanical testing, biocompatibility). However, the exact numbers used for this device are not disclosed here.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., retrospective/prospective). The testing would have been conducted by the manufacturer (Merz Dental GmbH) in Germany, or by a certified testing laboratory. It would be considered prospective testing for the purpose of demonstrating compliance.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not Applicable. For a device like a temporary crown, "ground truth" isn't established by expert consensus in the same way it would be for an AI diagnostic algorithm. Performance is typically assessed against physical and chemical specifications defined by the ISO standards and the material's intended function. The "experts" would be the engineers and scientists conducting the laboratory tests according to standard protocols.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not Applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used to resolve disagreements among human readers/experts when establishing ground truth for diagnostic accuracy studies. This is not relevant for the type of laboratory and biocompatibility testing described for this dental device.
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 device is a physical dental product (a preformed crown), not an AI diagnostic tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance comparisons are not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. As this is a physical device and not an algorithm, standalone performance (in the context of AI) is not relevant. The "standalone" performance here would refer to the device's material properties and fit, which are covered by the ISO testing.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be compliance with the specifications outlined in ISO 3336 and ISO 10993 (e.g., specific thresholds for mechanical properties, absence of cytotoxic effects). These standards define acceptable performance based on scientific and clinical understanding of dental materials.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device; therefore, there is no "training set." The device is manufactured based on established material science and engineering principles.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. See point 8.

Artegral, and Polystar® Selection preformed plastic teeth are prefabricated devices composed of polymethylmethacrylate and cross-linking co-polymers of methacrylic acid (IPN).
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for "Artegral and Polystar Selection Performed Plastic Denture Teeth." This is a regulatory submission for a medical device, and the information contained does not directly correspond to the requested details about acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/algorithm-based medical device.
The document discusses the intended use of the denture teeth, their chemical composition, and states that "Performance and safety testing activities were conducted against recognized standards to establish the reliability characteristics of the new devices. Testing involved bench studies, and biocompatibility tests." However, it does not provide specific acceptance criteria, reported performance, or details of a study in the format requested for an AI/algorithm.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and study details. This document pertains to a physical dental device and its regulatory clearance, not an AI-driven one with specific performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or reader studies.
