EQ-PEX is an Electronic Apex Locator designed for use in measuring the working length of root canals.
EQ-PEX is Electronic Apex Locator and accessories to be used to treat of patients. It consists of the main body and lip hook, probe cord and 2 kinds of file holder. The device is used to track the position of the file in the root canal based on the impedance of two different frequencies. The device is intended for measuring the length of the root canal treatments. The components of the device include the main body, probe cord, lip book, file holder, AC adapter, and power cord.
The screen displays measurement information of the root canal length at the current location of the file and displays a number and graph. Stainless steel hand files are intended to be used with the subject device. Lip hook is intended to be placed on the opposite lip of the tooth to be worked on. The file is slowly inserted into the root canal. When the file approaches the apex reference value and alarm will beep and the text apex will appear on the measurement screen.
The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the EQ-PEX Electronic Apex Locator. Based on the document, here's a description of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The primary performance criterion for the EQ-PEX, as stated and compared to the predicate device, is Accuracy of Apex.
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance (EQ-PEX) | Predicate Device (I-ROOT 100) Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy of Apex | <±0.5mm | <±0.5mm |
This table indicates that the EQ-PEX meets the same accuracy specification as its predicate device. This suggests that the acceptance criterion for accuracy was to demonstrate performance equivalent to or better than the predicate.
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 mentions "Comparative performance testing of the accuracy of the apex locator and usability validation." However, it does not specify the sample size for this performance testing.
Regarding data provenance:
- Country of Origin: Not explicitly stated for the testing data. The manufacturer is Meta Systems Co., Ltd., located in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea. It's plausible the testing was conducted in Korea or an affiliated lab.
- Retrospective or Prospective: The document does not specify whether the data used for performance testing was retrospective or prospective.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
The document does not provide information on the number of experts or their qualifications used to establish ground truth for the performance test set.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
The document does not provide information on the adjudication method used for the test set.
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 Electronic Apex Locator like EQ-PEX is a measuring device designed to assist a clinician in a procedure, not an AI diagnostic tool that assists human readers in interpreting medical images. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance is not applicable to this device and was not mentioned as being performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
The device itself is a standalone measuring instrument. The performance testing of "Accuracy of Apex" at <±0.5mm is an assessment of the device's standalone performance in measuring root canal length. While a user operates it, the accuracy being measured is the accuracy of the device's measurement output. So, yes, a standalone performance test was done to assess its accuracy.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
For an Electronic Apex Locator, the ground truth for working length measurement is typically established by direct, precise measurements, often through radiographic methods (e.g., radiography with a file in place, or CBCT), or potentially by the physical measurement of extracted teeth. The document does not explicitly state the specific method used to establish the ground truth for the "Accuracy of Apex" performance testing, but it would almost certainly be an objective, highly precise measurement technique.
8. The sample size for the training set:
The document does not specify a training set sample size. Electronic Apex Locators, particularly those based on impedance measurements, typically rely on established physical principles and calibrated hardware rather than deep learning models that require large training datasets in the conventional sense. The "training" for such devices is primarily in their design, calibration, and manufacturing process.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
As mentioned in point 8, the concept of a "training set" with established ground truth, as applied to AI/machine learning models, does not directly apply to this type of medical device which relies on electrical impedance measurement principles. The "ground truth" for its operation is inherent in the laws of physics governing electrical circuits and biological tissues, and its accuracy is validated through performance testing against known objective measurements.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state sample sizes for specific test sets in a detailed manner that would typically be found in a clinical study report.
- Test Set: For bench testing (e.g., ISO 14457 comparison), no specific "sample size" of devices or cases is mentioned. For usability testing, it states "testing by the intended user" but doesn't specify the number of users.
- Data Provenance: The studies appear to be non-clinical bench tests performed by the manufacturer, Meta Systems Co., Ltd., based in Korea. The document does not indicate the country of origin for any data related to user testing (e.g., where the "intended user" for usability testing was located). All testing described seems to be prospective in nature as it's for a new device submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- Number of Experts: Not specified.
- Qualifications: "Intended user" for usability testing, but no specific professional qualifications (e.g., "dental professionals" as per Indications for Use) or experience levels are mentioned for those users. For other tests (e.g., bench tests), the "ground truth" is typically defined by the test standard itself or the specifications of the predicate device, not by expert consensus in this context.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
No adjudication method is mentioned for any of the testing described. Decisions are based on conformance to specifications or standards.
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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned.
The EMS-200 is a dental device combining an endo motor, obturator, and electronic apex locator. These are mechanical/electronic tools for dental procedures, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretative system that would involve "human readers" or AI for image analysis. Therefore, a study of this nature is not applicable to this device description.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
A standalone performance evaluation was implicitly done for each component (Motor, Apex Locator, Pack, Fill) through:
- Bench testing: "Bench testing for conformance to ISO 14457"
- Safety testing: Compliance with various IEC, ISO, EN standards.
- Biocompatibility testing: Compliance with ISO 10993-1.
- Software validation: "Software documentation and validation for software of moderate level of concern per the FDA Guidance Document for Software Contained in Medical Devices."
The device itself is a standalone system in the sense that the individual functions (e.g., apex location) operate based on the device's algorithms or mechanics. The "human-in-the-loop" for this device refers to the dental professional using the device, not assisting an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The ground truth for the performance evaluations (e.g., accuracy of apex locator, temperature ranges for pack/fill, motor speed/torque) is primarily established by:
- Predicate device specifications: The comparison table clearly shows the EMS-200's specifications are benchmarked against those of the K133298, K112508, and K031664 predicate devices.
- International standards: Conformance to relevant ISO, IEC, EN standards defines the "ground truth" for safety, electrical compatibility, software, and sterilization.
- Referenced literature: For Gutta percha temperature, "Referenced literature articles regarding the temperature of gutta percha" are cited.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
No training set is mentioned as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The device's operational parameters are based on engineering design and historical predicate device performance, not a learned model from a dataset.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.
