The program kit contains a power toothbrush consisting of a rechargeable handle, a charger, replacement brush heads, and instructions for the proper use and care of the device. The program kit also contains plastic dental sheaths to prevent soiling and therefore allowing for easier cleaning of the multi-user handle. The sheath is manufactured by TIDI Products, LLC, is provided to Procter & Gamble as a finished, packaged non-sterile device (K132953) for inclusion in the program kit as an accessory. Detailed instructions for cleaning and disinfection of the reusable handle are also included. The program kit is indicated for use as an introductory trial, exclusively within the confines of a convention (e.g. professional, scientific, trade shows), under the direct supervision of a dental professional as part of the Oral-B® iO Test Drive Power Brush Trial Program.
The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding a powered toothbrush. It concerns the "Oral-B iO Test Drive Power Brush Trial Program Kit" (K200881). The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (Oral-B Test Drive Power Brush Trial Program Kit, K141018) and a reference device (Oral-B iO Rechargeable Power Toothbrush, a Class I, 510(k) exempt device).
The information provided does not relate to an AI/ML medical device, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, or the use of AI assistance for human readers. It lists performance data for a physical device, including biocompatibility, electrical safety, software verification, and cleaning/disinfection validation. Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/ML device performance and study design (e.g., sample size for test/training sets for AI, expert adjudication, ground truth definition for AI, effect size of AI assistance) are not applicable to this document.
However, I can extract the relevant acceptance criteria and how the device meets them based on the provided "PERFORMANCE DATA" section.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since this is a 510(k) for a physical medical device (a powered toothbrush) and not an AI/ML algorithm, the "acceptance criteria" are typically defined by compliance with recognized standards and successful completion of specific non-clinical and performance tests to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for its intended use, and ultimately substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The performance data section describes how the device meets these requirements.
Here's a table summarizing the "acceptance criteria" (or performance areas tested for compliance) and the reported device performance:
Acceptance Criteria/Performance Area | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Biocompatibility | Tests: Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), Sensitization (ISO 10993-10), Irritation (ISO 10993-12). Consistent with ISO 10993 guidance and FDA recommendations. |
Results: Passed all tests. Confirmed non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating, even after cleaning and disinfection. Materials are the same as those used in the predicate and reference device. | |
Electrical Safety | Standards: UL 1431, IEC 60335-1, IEC 60335-2-52 (as outlined in ISO 20127). |
Results: Compliant results. Confirms construction addresses risk of fire, shock, and physical injury per specified consensus standards. | |
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) | Standards: Title 47 CFR Parts 15B, 15C, and 18 of the Federal Communications Commission. |
Results: Compliant results. Assures unintentional and intentional radiation are within federally prescribed limits across the full RF bandwidth. | |
Software Verification & Validation | Guidance: FDA guidance documents "General Principles of Software Validation" (Jan 2002) and "Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" (May 2005). Consistent with "Moderate" Level of Concern. |
Results: Verification activities demonstrate that the device performs as intended. | |
Cleaning and Disinfection Validation | Conditions: Simulated normal use and worst-case scenario for wear. |
Results: Demonstrated satisfactory cleaning and high-level disinfection. Repeated exposure to cleaning and disinfection procedures had no effect on physical characteristics or performance. Established a reuse life of 240 uses and subsequent cleaning and disinfection cycles. (Note: The table on page 7 shows "Reuse Life" for the subject device as "100 cycles" compared to "240 cycles" for the predicate. This seems like a discrepancy or change from the text on page 12, which states 240 uses were established. The 100 cycles value might be a specific finding or target, while 240 cycles was the tested limit without performance degradation.) | |
Human Factors Usability Testing | Studies: Several formative studies (to develop/test instructions, software, training) and one summative study (to validate user ability to follow instructions). |
Results: Summative study validated that users, after training, could read and understand labeling and follow instructions (with software aid) to properly clean and disinfect the reusable toothbrush handle. | |
Substantial Equivalence | Conclusion: Based on intended use, technological characteristics, and non-clinical performance data, the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device (K141018). |
Since this is not an AI/ML device, the following points are largely not applicable or cannot be definitively answered from the provided text:
-
Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:
- For biocompatibility, electrical safety, EMC, and software, "samples" are devices or components. Specific numbers of units tested are not provided in this summary, but these are typically engineering and lab tests, not clinical studies with human subjects for efficacy.
- For Cleaning and Disinfection Validation, the document mentions testing under "simulated normal use and worst-case scenario for wear" and establishing a "reuse life of 240 uses." This number (240 cycles) could be considered a "sample size" for this specific durability test.
- For Human Factors Usability testing, "several formative and a summative" studies were performed. The number of participants in these studies (i.e., "sample size") is not specified.
- Data Provenance: The manufacturer is Procter & Gamble Manufacturing GmbH (Marktheidenfeld, Germany) and distributed in the U.S.A. by Procter & Gamble, Co. (Cincinnati, Ohio). The studies are non-clinical, not patient data (retrospective or prospective).
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth as typically defined for AI/ML (e.g., highly accurate disease labels) is not relevant for this type of device submission. The "ground truth" here is compliance with engineering standards and predefined performance specifications. Expert validation is implicitly part of these standardized testing processes (e.g., certified labs, qualified engineers).
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. This concept is typically related to expert review of medical images or patient data for ground truth establishment in AI/ML studies.
-
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 physical powered toothbrush, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. There is a software component (Level of Concern - Moderate), but it's part of the device's function (e.g., user interface, power management, potentially guidance for cleaning), not a standalone diagnostic algorithm. The software verification confirms it "performs as intended."
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): The "ground truth" for this device's performance is derived from:
- Compliance with recognized standards: ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), UL 1431, IEC 60335 series, ISO 20127 (electrical safety), 47 CFR Parts 15B, 15C, 18 (EMC).
- Successful completion of pre-defined non-clinical tests: Cleaning/disinfection validation (e.g., microbial reduction, material integrity), Human Factors Usability (user ability to follow instructions).
- Performance against specifications: e.g., reuse life, satisfactory cleaning/disinfection.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set" in the context of machine learning.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable for the same reason as above.

Fluid Handling Capabilities | Similar to the fluid handling capabilities of the predicate devices. | The device is designed to acquire and hold menstrual fluids similar to the fluid handling capabilities of the predicate devices. (No specific numerical performance provided, but stated as similar to predicate). |
2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state numerical sample sizes for each test in the way an AI study would. Instead, it mentions "Extractions of the 510(k) device plastic applicators were performed," "Tests of the 510(k) tampon applicator expulsion force showed," "Tests of the seal strength... and peel strength... of the 510(k) modified wrapper showed."
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified quantitatively. The implication is that sufficient units were tested to demonstrate compliance with the criteria and similarity to the predicate.
- Data Provenance: This is not applicable in the context of clinical data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The data is generated from laboratory testing of the physical device and its components.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- Number of Experts: Not applicable. For this type of device, "ground truth" is established by direct physical measurements and engineering standards, not by expert interpretation of clinical data.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not specified, but implied to be technicians or engineers qualified to perform the described physical and chemical tests (e.g., performing extractions, operating Thwing-Albert and Instron machines).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. There is no expert adjudication for physical/chemical test results as there would be for medical image interpretation or clinical outcomes. The results are objective measurements against predefined specifications.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
- MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices where human readers interpret output (e.g., medical images) and AI assists that interpretation. This is a physical, non-AI medical device.
- Effect Size of Human Reader Improvement: Not applicable, as no MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- Standalone Performance: No, a standalone performance study as typically understood for an AI algorithm was not done. This device is not an algorithm. Its "performance" is its physical characteristics and safety, measured directly.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" for this submission is based on engineering specifications, material science principles, and direct physical/chemical measurements. The primary method for establishing "equivalence" (which is the goal of a 510(k)) is by comparing these measured characteristics to those of the predicate device and established safety standards.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device, so there is no "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.
Summary in the Context of a 510(k) Submission:
This 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (TAMPAX® Pearl Tampons, unscented, K081555). The "study" conducted for this device is a series of non-clinical, laboratory-based tests. The acceptance criteria essentially boil down to:
- The new device (TAMPAX® C Plastic™ Tampons) must exhibit material safety equivalent to or better than the predicate.
- Its functional physical characteristics (applicator expulsion force, wrapper integrity, pledget design, fluid handling) must be similar to or within acceptable limits compared to the predicate device.
The study "proves" the device meets these criteria by showing that the results of the specific physical and chemical tests either match the results of the predicate device (where available) or fall within established acceptable ranges for safe and effective use. The changes made (pigment addition, applicator shape, wrapper modification) were assessed to ensure they did not negatively impact the safety or fundamental performance, and the evidence provided supports this conclusion for FDA's substantial equivalence determination.

Vicks Powershot Dry Throat and Mouth Relief Spray - For immediate and effective relief of dry throat and dry mouth by coating, moistening and lubricating.
Vicks Powershot Dry Throat and Mouth Relief Liquid – For immediate and effective relief of dry throat and dry mouth by coating, moistening and lubricating.
Vicks Powershot Dry Throat and Mouth Relief is available for application cither as a spray or as a bulk liquid, the latter using a dispensing cup. It is a device intended for over-the-counter (OTC) consumer use. The device delivered as a spray form will be packaged in a 1.01 Fl.Oz. (30 mL) polyethylene tercphthalate (PET) plastic bottle and will be dispensed from the bottle via a positive displacement pump. The device delivered using a dispensing cup will be packaged in a 6 Fl.Oz (177mL) PET plastic bottle and will be dispensed via a polypropylene dispensing cup. The device is a clear liquid and contains polymers, including carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) that is known to coat and lubricate, as well as components that function as humectants and solvents. The device is preserved and lightly flavored for improved taste. Upon application the device coats and lubricates the mucus membrane of the mouth and oropharynx thereby providing immediate relief of dryness. The device thus functions as an artificial saliva device.
The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for Vicks Powershot Dry Throat and Mouth Relief. This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than submitting extensive clinical study data to prove novel safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the document does not describe a study that establishes acceptance criteria for performance metrics in the way a traditional clinical trial or performance study would.
Instead, the submission focuses on comparing the new device's technological characteristics and intended use to existing predicate devices to argue for substantial equivalence.
Based on the provided text, here’s a breakdown of the requested information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria or corresponding performance metrics for the Vicks Powershot device. The basis for acceptance is substantial equivalence to predicate devices, which implies that its performance is considered comparable without requiring specific numerical targets beyond those inherent in the predicate's marketing.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
No specific test set or sample size for performance evaluation is mentioned. The submission relies on a comparison of device characteristics and intended use.
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. There is no mention of experts establishing ground truth for a test set, as no such performance study is described.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. No test set or expert adjudication 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 device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool, and no MRMC study or AI component is mentioned.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a physical product (artificial saliva device), not an algorithm or AI.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable. The submission does not describe a study involving "ground truth" establishment in the context of diagnostic accuracy. Its "ground truth" for marketing approval is its similarity to already approved devices.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML product that requires a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML product, and thus no training set or ground truth for it was established in this context.
