2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document states: "Bench tests, laboratory tests, and evaluations were completed on the proposed B+L Crystalsert Lens Delivery System (Model Cl-26). No animal or clinical testing was required for this submission."
- Sample Size: The exact sample sizes for each nonclinical test are not specified in the provided text.
- Data Provenance: The data provenance is from nonclinical bench and laboratory testing. The country of origin of the data is not explicitly stated, but the submitter (Bausch + Lomb) is based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, implying the testing likely occurred within the US or by US-affiliated labs. The nature of the testing is prospective as it was conducted for the purpose of this submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Since this submission relies solely on nonclinical bench and laboratory testing, the concept of "ground truth" established by human experts in the way it applies to diagnostic or prognostic devices is not directly applicable. The "ground truth" for these tests would be defined by the technical specifications, standards (e.g., ISO, AAMI), and predefined acceptance criteria for each test. The individuals performing and evaluating these tests would be laboratory technicians and engineers, whose qualifications are not detailed but are assumed to be appropriate for conducting such tests.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
As the evaluation is based on objective nonclinical tests against predetermined acceptance criteria, there is no human adjudication method in the sense of a 2+1 or 3+1 design. The results are binary (Pass/Fail) based on direct measurement and comparison to specifications.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "No animal or clinical testing was required for this submission." This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging or AI devices involving human interpretation, which is not the case here.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No, this is not an algorithm or AI device. It's a medical device for delivering intraocular lenses. Therefore, a standalone algorithm performance study is not applicable and was not done.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the nonclinical tests is based on engineering specifications, established industry standards (ISO, AAMI), and predefined acceptance criteria for each test (e.g., IOL surface homogeneity, lens power, dimensions, sterility, biocompatibility). It is objective and measurable, rather than expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data, which are typically associated with diagnostic or therapeutic efficacy studies in clinical settings.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not Applicable. This device is not an AI or machine learning algorithm, so there is no "training set" in the conventional sense. The device itself is manufactured, and its performance is evaluated against engineering and safety standards.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not Applicable. (See point 8).

Crystal® Ultra is indicated for use as a dental restoration including inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns, and bridges.
For use by or on the order of a dental professional.
The Crystal® Ultra CAD/CAM formed materials consist of interpenetrating networks of glass ceramic and polymer material to form a solid block of material. The unique marriage of the two materials creates a dual-network hybrid, which lends the positive physical properties of each individual material to the other. This results in a material with significantly lower brittleness compared to a pure ceramic and better abrasion behavior than a pure resin, (similar to natural enamel). The material is milled in a dental CAD/CAM machine into its restorative form.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for a dental CAD/CAM material called "Crystal® Ultra." This device is a material, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and therefore most of the requested information about acceptance criteria, study design, and ground truth establishment for AI performance metrics are not applicable.
However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the non-clinical performance data and how the device's equivalence was established.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The submission states that bench testing was performed in accordance with FDA recognized standards and compared to predicate devices. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly the satisfactory performance against these standards and demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The reported device performance is that it met these criteria.

The Crystalsert™ Crystalens® Delivery System is intended to be used to fold and deliver the Crystalens® (AT-50SE, AT-52SE, HD520 and HD500) accommodating intraocular lens into the capsular bag.
The Crystalsert consists of a plunger, body, drawer and inserter tip. All of the components are manufactured with medical grade polypropylene. There is also a stainless steel spring for the plunger return. The plunger tip is 2.8 mm that requires the lens to be folded when delivered. The body has a loading dock area for placement of the lens with forceps with an additional notch to allow for correct haptic placement. Once the lens is placed in the loading dock, the drawer is pressed closed and then the plunger can be depressed to deliver the lens. Finger flanges are also built onto the body to assist in the deliver.
The provided document describes the Crystalsert™ Crystalens® Delivery System, an intraocular lens inserter. It is a 510(k) submission, which means it aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving de novo safety and effectiveness through extensive clinical trials.
Therefore, the study information requested (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance) is not applicable or not provided in this type of submission. 510(k) clearances typically rely on performance testing that demonstrates the device meets its design specifications and functions as intended, aligning with the predicate device.
Here's a breakdown of the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" in the sense of performance metrics with specific thresholds that would be used in a clinical study to quantify device efficacy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity for a diagnostic device). Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (MPort (MP-30)) by comparing technological characteristics and intended use. The "performance" assessment is implied through validation activities.
| Feature/Characteristic | Predicate Device (MPort (MP-30)) | Subject Device (Crystalsert Inserter) | Comparison/Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating Principle | Lens loaded through loading deck, pushed into position by closing drawer. Lens lays flat. Haptic puller used. Delivered by direct forward motion of syringe-type plunger. Single lens inserted through 3 mm tip, folded when pushed. | Lens loaded into loading dock in unfolded flat state. Put in proper position by closing drawer. No haptic puller necessary. Delivered by direct forward motion of syringe-type plunger. Single lens inserted through 2.8 mm tip, folded when pushed. | Substantially Equivalent: Both operate on the principle of folding and delivering an IOL via a plunger. The Crystalsert has a slightly smaller tip (2.8mm vs 3mm) and eliminates the need for a haptic puller by having a notch in the loading area for correct haptic placement, which could be considered an enhancement while maintaining the core operating principle. |
| Design | Plunger, inserter body, drawer, haptic puller. Loading dock attached to end of body. | Plunger, inserter body, drawer. Loading dock attached to end of body. Additional notch cut in loading area for correct haptic placement. | Substantially Equivalent: Core components are the same. The Crystalsert removed the haptic puller and added a notch in the loading area, a design modification to improve usability while achieving the same function. |
| Material | Medical Grade Polypropylene with PA-208 lubricant. Stainless steel plunger return spring. Silicone plunger O-ring. | Body and drawer: Medical Grade Polypropylene (Huntsman) with 1% InCon GMB#2 Lubricant. Plunger: medical grade polypropylene (BP Amoco). Stainless steel plunger return spring. No plunger O-ring. | Substantially Equivalent: Both use medical-grade polypropylene and stainless steel springs. Differences in specific lubricant, polypropylene supplier, and absence of an O-ring for the Crystalsert are considered minor material differences for a 510(k) submission, likely supported by biocompatibility and performance testing (not detailed here). |
| Intended Use/Indications for Use | The Mport Foldable Lens Placement system is indicated for compressing and inserting a Soflex™ series multi-piece intraocular lens into the eye during small incision cataract surgery. | The Crystalsert™ Crystalens delivery system is intended to be used to fold and deliver the Crystalens® (AT-50SE, AT-52SE, HD520 and HD500) accommodating intraocular lens into the capsular bag. | Substantially Equivalent: Both are IOL delivery systems for cataract surgery. The specific IOL models differ, as the Crystalsert is designed for Crystalens, but the fundamental function (folding and delivering an IOL) is the same. |
| Cleaning/Sterilization Information | EtO sterilized to SAL of 10-6. Single use. 6-month shelf life. | Same | Identical: No differences reported. |
| Validations (IOL/Viscoelastic compatibility) | Validated for use with LI61U, LI51U, C31UB and Silens6/Soflex 2. Bausch & Lomb Ocucoat Viscoelastic and Amvisc viscoelastics can used. | Validated with Crystalens models AT-50SE or AT-52SE and validated with Bausch & Lomb Viscoelastic Amvisc Plus. | Functionally Equivalent: Both are validated for specific IOLs and viscoelastics. The specific models differ, as expected, given the Crystalsert's intended use with Crystalens. This indicates internal testing was performed to ensure compatibility and proper function for its indications. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Not applicable / Not provided. As a 510(k) submission for an IOL delivery system, the "test set" would typically refer to the various IOLs and viscoelastic materials validated for use with the device and performance testing to ensure the device consistently delivers these IOLs without damage. Specific sample sizes for such tests are not detailed in this summary. Data provenance is also not specified as there are no clinical trials mentioned.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not applicable / Not provided. Ground truth, in the context of diagnostic device validation, is not relevant here. For a device like an IOL inserter, the "truth" is whether it successfully delivers the IOL undamaged, which is determined through engineering and performance testing.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not applicable / Not provided. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies with human readers/assessors. For a mechanical device, performance is evaluated against defined specifications.
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 / Not provided. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic or AI-assisted devices that involve human interpretation of results. This device is an IOL delivery system.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable / Not provided. This is also relevant for AI-powered diagnostic devices. The Crystalsert is a mechanical delivery system. Its "standalone performance" would be assessed by its ability to reliably fold and insert an IOL, which is implied by the "Validations" section.
7. The type of ground truth used
- Not applicable / Not provided. For this type of device, ground truth would be synonymous with demonstrable mechanical performance and successful, undamaged IOL delivery, established through bench testing and engineering validation, rather than expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data from a clinical trial.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable / Not provided. Training sets are used for machine learning algorithms.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable / Not provided. Training sets are used for machine learning algorithms.
In summary, this 510(k) submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through a comparison of technological characteristics, materials, and intended use, supported by internal validation testing (e.g., IOL compatibility). It does not involve the types of clinical studies or AI-related assessments that would provide the requested information about sample sizes, expert ground truth, or reader studies.

Instead, it states that the device was found substantially equivalent to predicate devices based on mechanical testing. The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred as meeting the mechanical performance standards of similar legally marketed intervertebral body fusion devices.
| Acceptance Criterion (Inferred) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Biomechanical/Mechanical Performance: Capable of performing in accordance with its intended use (stability, load-bearing capacity, fatigue resistance, etc.) as demonstrated by comparison to predicate devices. | "Mechanical testing indicates that the Crystal device is capable of performing in accordance with its intended use." The product was found "substantially equivalent" to predicate intervertebral body fusion devices. |
| Material Biocompatibility: Materials (Ti-6Al-4V or PEEK) are biocompatible and safe for implantation. | (Not explicitly stated as a test result, but implied by the use of commonly accepted medical-grade materials and the substantial equivalence claim). |
| Device Design/Dimensions: Physical characteristics, including holes for bone graft and teeth for stability, are comparable to predicate devices. | "Crystal was shown to be substantially equivalent through comparison to predicate intervertebral body fusion devices." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
