    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding several spinal intervertebral body fusion devices manufactured by Spinal Elements, Inc. The document states that the devices are substantially equivalent to previously marketed predicate devices and therefore do not require a premarket approval application.

    Critically, this document is a regulatory approval notice based on the substantial equivalence principle, not a study evaluating the performance of an AI/ML powered medical device. It explicitly states under "Performance Data" that: "No changes were made to the existing devices nor were any new components were added to the systems. Therefore, no additional testing was required or performed."

    As such, this document does not contain the information required to answer the prompt regarding acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria for an AI/ML powered medical device. The device described (intervertebral body fusion devices) is a physical implant, not a software-based AI/ML product.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on this document.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Crystal®, Mosaic®, and Vertu® intervertebral body fusion devices, based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary:

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a performance study with acceptance criteria in the same way a de novo or PMA application might. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here are essentially the performance metrics of the legally marketed predicate devices, and the "study" is the non-clinical testing performed to show equivalence.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Given that this is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence, the "acceptance criteria" are implied to be the performance of the predicate devices. The "reported device performance" demonstrates that the subject devices perform comparably to these predicates.

    Test TypeAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate)Reported Device Performance
    Material BiocompatibilityBiocompatibility in accordance with FDA Memorandum #G95-1 and ISO 10993-1 Part 1 for PEEK (Invibio MAF 1209) and commercially pure titanium (ASTM F 1580).The PEEK material's biocompatibility is presented in Invibio device master file (MAF 1209). The titanium coating material is commercially pure titanium, in accordance with ASTM F 1580. No further testing required.
    Dynamic Torsion TestingPerformance comparable to the predicate devices (Crystal®, Mosaic®, Vertu® Systems - K073351, K071833, K122771, and Calix PC - K112036).Tested in accordance with ASTM F2077-03. Results used to support substantial equivalence.
    Gravimetric Measurement for Wear AssessmentPerformance comparable to the predicate devices.Tested in accordance with ASTM F2025-06. Results used to support substantial equivalence.
    Particle CharacterizationPerformance comparable to the predicate devices, specifically the wear debris data of predicate Calix PC (K112036).Tested in accordance with ASTM F1877-89. Wear debris data (number of particulates and size) indicates the device coating performs similarly to predicate Calix PC (K112036).
    Static ShearPerformance comparable to the predicate devices.Tested in accordance with ASTM F1044-05. Results used to support substantial equivalence.
    Static TensionPerformance comparable to the predicate devices.Tested in accordance with ASTM F1147-05. Results used to support substantial equivalence.
    Abrasion ResistancePerformance comparable to the predicate devices.Tested in accordance with ASTM F1978-00. Results used to support substantial equivalence.

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

    The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes (e.g., number of units tested) for each mechanical test. The data provenance is derived from non-clinical bench testing conducted to support the substantial equivalence claim. There is no mention of country of origin for this testing, but it is typically conducted by the manufacturer or a contract research organization.

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

    Not applicable. This submission relies on non-clinical bench testing and comparison to predicate device performance, not on expert-established ground truth from clinical data.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable for non-clinical bench testing focused on mechanical properties.

    5. If a Multi-reader Multi-case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission explicitly states: "Clinical Studies No clinical studies were performed."

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

    This is not applicable as the device (intervertebral body fusion device) is a physical implant, not a software algorithm. The document explicitly states: "Software Verification and Validation Testing The device does not contain software. Therefore no software verification and validation testing were performed."

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used is based on the established performance characteristics and safety profile of the predicate devices and recognized consensus standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO) for material and mechanical testing. For the wear debris, the ground truth for comparison was specifically the predicate Calix PC (K112036).

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. As a physical medical device, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.

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

    Not applicable. There is no training set.

    Intended Use

    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.

    Device Description

    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.

    AI/ML Overview

    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.

    Performance Metric (Standard)Acceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
    Flexural Strength (ISO 6872)Comparable to predicate devicesSubstantially equivalent to predicate devices

    Modulus of ElasticityAssessed for mechanical propertiesIncluded in testing, results are satisfactory for substantial equivalence
    Biocompatibility (ISO 10993)Meets biocompatibility standards for dental materialsConcluded to be substantially equivalent in safety to predicate device

    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 for the bench tests. The tests were performed in accordance with FDA recognized standards (ISO 6872, ISO 10477, ISO 7405, ISO 4049, ISO 10993). These are likely laboratory bench tests, not clinical studies involving human patients or specific geographical data provenance. Therefore, terms like "retrospective or prospective" are not applicable.

    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 is not applicable as the device is a material, and the "ground truth" for its performance is established through standardized physical and chemical testing, not expert interpretation of cases.

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

    This is not applicable for a material test. The "adjudication" is based on the results of standardized laboratory tests against predefined 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

    This is not applicable. This device is a material, not an AI or diagnostic tool that would involve human readers.

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

    This is not applicable as the device is a material, not an algorithm.

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

    The "ground truth" for this device's performance is derived from standardized physical and chemical measurements obtained through bench testing according to ISO standards (e.g., flexural strength, solubility, density). The comparison is made to the established performance characteristics of legally marketed predicate dental materials.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This is not applicable as the device is a dental material, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.

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

    This is not applicable as there is no training set for this type of device.

    Intended Use

    The Crystal Monitor® Model 16 is intended for wireless monitoring and recording of physiological signals to aid in research and/or diagnostic purposes.

    The device is not intended for use as life support equipment such as vital signs monitoring in intensive care units.

    Device Description

    The Crystal Monitor Model 16 is an eight-channel, programmable, wireless data acquisition system intended to monitor and record physiological signals. Any channel can be programmed to monitor any physiological signal. Harnesses connect electrodes or sensors from the patient to the patient unit. The patient unit, worn by the patient, acquires, amplifies, and digitizes physiological signals. These signals are then transmitted by radio frequency to a computer unit connected via a serial port to a personal computer (PC). The data is then displayed in real-time and can be stored on the PC.

    The Crystal Monitor Model 16 incorporates state-of-the-art wireless technology for viewing and recording physiological signals such as EEG, EKG, EMG, and EOG. This 8channel monitor is the most unobtrusive, flexible, and convenient way of measuring and transmitting physiological signals. Subjects can now be untethered during studies while real time data is collected and displayed. The Crystal Monitor Model 16 wireless physiological signal monitor consists of a Transmitter (also called the Patient Unit), a Receiver Assembly (a Receiver [also called the Computer Unit], receiver cable, and power supply), accessories (Universal Differential Harness, mounting band, electrolyte gel, screwdriver, batteries, and Test Pack), and a PC Operator Interface Software program.

    The Patient Unit collects signals from electrodes attached to the subject, performs analogto-digital conversion, encoding, formatting, and transmitting of all signals. The signals are transmitted via a radio transmitter. The Computer Unit receives the transmitted data packets, performs extensive error detection and correction, and then sends the data through a Receiver cable to the PC Operator interface where the data can be stored, monitored in real time, or analyzed at a later time.

    The Crystal Capture program consists of several software components that allow the user to acquire, store, and view physiological data as acquired by the Crystal Monitor Transmitter. The software provides a simple graphical interface for setting up and managing data acquisition. The Crystal Configuration Wizard allows customization of the number of input channels (1-8), ranges (micro- to millivolts), and sampling rate. Configurations can be saved allowing the user to program the Crystal Monitor for numerous applications.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Crystal Monitor Model 16, an 8-channel wireless data acquisition system for physiological signals. It details the device's technical characteristics, intended use, and substantial equivalence to existing devices. However, the document does not contain a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in terms of clinical performance or accuracy of physiological signal measurement against a ground truth.

    Instead, the document focuses on regulatory compliance and technical specifications. The "acceptance criteria" discussed are primarily related to safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and adherence to voluntary standards.

    Acceptance Criteria (from text)Reported Device Performance (from text)
    Safety and EMC Standards:The device was subjected to the following voluntary standards:
    • FCC Part 15.109, Class B digital device
    • FCC Part 15.249, Intentional radiator, FCC ID#N9Y0007
    • IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1 General requirements for safety
    • EN 61000-4-2: 1995 Electrostatic discharge immunity test
    • EN 61000-4-3: 1995 Radiated, radio-frequency, electromagnetic field immunity test
    • EN 61000-4-4: 1995 Electrical fast transient/burst immunity tests
    • EN 61000-4-6: 1996 Immunity to conducted disturbances induced by radio-frequency fields
    • EN-55011 Electromagnetic Emissions
    • IEC 601-2-26 (environmental conditions: 10° to 50° C, 25-95% humidity) |
      | Functional Equivalence to Predicate Devices: | "The Crystal Monitor Model 16 is technically the same as the Crystal-EEG Model 15 with the exception of software, labeling, and production company." It states they have "the same hardware, board designs, drawings, and all available accessories." |
      | Wireless Signal Transmission (Implicit Functionality): | Acquires, amplifies, and digitizes physiological signals, then transmits them by radio frequency to a computer for display and storage. Performs "extensive error detection and correction" upon reception. |
      | Programmability (Implicit Functionality): | 8-channel, programmable (number of channels 1-8, ranges micro- to millivolts, sampling rate). |
      | Real-time Display and Storage (Implicit Functionality): | Data is "displayed in real-time and can be stored on the PC." |

    Missing Information: It's crucial to understand that this document does not present clinical performance acceptance criteria such as accuracy of EEG readings, signal-to-noise ratio, or agreement with a gold standard for physiological signal interpretation. The "reported device performance" above is a summary of capabilities and compliance with safety/EMC standards, not clinical efficacy.


    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • None provided. The document describes regulatory compliance testing (e.g., EMC, electrical safety) but does not detail human subject testing or clinical performance evaluation with a "test set" of patient data.

    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. No clinical test set or ground truth established by experts is described for clinical performance.

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

    • Not applicable. No clinical test set or adjudication method 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

    • No such study was done or described. This device is a physiological signal monitor, not an AI-based diagnostic tool that assists human readers.

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

    • Not applicable in the context of an "algorithm" as typically referred to in AI/diagnostic studies. The device's primary function is data acquisition and display, not automated interpretation or standalone diagnostic decision-making beyond what an electroencephalograph intrinsically does (i.e., record signals). The "software components" described are for acquiring, storing, and viewing, not for AI-driven standalone analysis.

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

    • For the safety and EMC standards, the "ground truth" is compliance with the specifications of those standards (e.g., does it emit below a certain level, does it withstand a certain electrostatic discharge).
    • For functional equivalence, the "ground truth" is the established performance and design of the predicate device (Crystal EEG Model 15).
    • No clinical ground truth (expert consensus on EEG readings, etc.) is mentioned.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable/Not provided. This is not an AI/machine learning device that would require a "training set" in the conventional sense.

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

    • Not applicable/Not provided. As there is no described training set, there is no discussion of how its ground truth was established.

    Conclusion:

    The provided 510(k) summary for the Crystal Monitor Model 16 focuses on technical specifications, regulatory compliance with safety and EMC standards, and substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It does not present a clinical study with acceptance criteria related to physiological signal accuracy, diagnostic performance, or a "ground truth" derived from patient data interpreted by experts. The "study" referenced in the prompt's question is essentially the device's submission to and compliance with various engineering and safety standards, and its comparison to a previously cleared predicate device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device cleared in 2001. This type of regulatory submission, particularly for
    a device developed at this time, focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a clinical study with detailed acceptance criteria and performance metrics typically found in efficacy studies for newer, more complex devices
    or AI/ML-driven technologies.

    Therefore, many of the requested items (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, MRMC studies,
    standalone performance) are not applicable to this type of submission. The safety and effectiveness are established through comparison to a predicate device.

    Here's a breakdown based on the information available:

    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

    The "acceptance criteria" for this 510(k) submission are implicitly demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices. The
    performance is described by comparing the features of the Crystal 5000 Phased Array TMJ Coil to these predicates.

    Feature / Acceptance Criteria (demonstration of substantial equivalence)Reported Device Performance (as compared to predicate)

    Radio Frequency Absorption: Coil is a receive-only coil and does not transmit RF power.Similar to the Hi-Res 9000 Phased Array Carotid Coil manufactured by USA Instruments (K001210)
    Formation of Resonant Loop: Decoupling isolates the coil elements from RF fields during RF transmission, Length of cable and stiffness does not permit looping.Similar to the Hi-Res 9000 Phased Array Carotid Coil manufactured by USA Instruments (K001210)

    Study Details:

    1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. This submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on a new clinical study with a test set of patient data to evaluate performance. The comparison is feature-based against existing cleared devices.

    2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. There was no specific "test set" in the context of diagnostic performance evaluation for which ground truth needed to be established by experts.

    3. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable. No test set was used in this manner.

    4. 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 passive MRI accessory (a coil), not an AI-driven image analysis tool. It does not involve human readers interpreting images with or without AI assistance.

    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This device is an MRI coil, not an algorithm.

    6. The type of ground truth used: The "ground truth" for this type of submission is implicitly the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices. The new device is shown to be substantially equivalent in its design and function to these already-cleared devices, implying a similar safety and performance profile.

    7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "training set."

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

    Intended Use

    The Crystal Tinted Soft Contact Lens is indicated for daily wear to enhance and/or alter the apparent eye color.

    Except for decreased light transmittance due to the tint intensity, the pretinted lens optical parameters remain the same as originally prescribed for the user prior to tinting. The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system only.

    Device Description

    The CRYSTAL TINTED SOFT CONTACT LENSES are available in Aqua, Amber, Roval Blue, Sky Blue, Sapphire Blue, Emerald Green, Mint Green, Green, Light Yellow, Dark Yellow, Light Red, Dark Red, Brown, Black and Orange. They are available with or without tinted centers (pupillary area). The practitioner may also choose tint intensity and custom mix colors (via consultation with CRII).

    CRYSTAL TINTED SOFT CONTACT LENSES are color enhanced soft contact lenses that have been previously prescribed for a specific patient. They have been supplied to CRII by a certified supplier to be modified by a tinting process. This process uses color additives that have been supplied by a certified supplier and listed as safe for contact lenses containing hydroxyl groups in accordance with FDA color additive regulations. The color additives are used in amounts not to exceed the minimum reasonably required to accomplish the intended coloring effect. As part of the manufacturing process, the lenses containing the color additives are thoroughly washed to remove unbound reactive color additives. The manufacturing process alters and/or changes the specifications to the clear version of a contact lens by affixing a listed color reactive additive on that portion of the anterior (front) surface of the lens that corresponds to the iris.

    CRYSTAL TINTED SOFT CONTACT LENSES are tinted using certified Reactive dyes listed by the FDA as approved for use with contact lenses. The lens material is modified by permanently fixing tints to the polymer using the following color additives, either alone or in combination: Reactive Blue 19, Reactive Blue 21, Reactive Yellow 86, Reactive Black 5, Reactive Red 11, Reactive Blue 163, Reactive Orange 78, Reactive Yellow 15, and Reactive Red 180.

    The hydrophilic properties of the lens require that it be maintained in a fully hydrated state in a solution compatible with the eye. If the lens dries out, it will become hard and appear somewhat warped; however, it will return to its proper configuration when completely rehydrated in the proper storage solution.

    AI/ML Overview

    Based on the provided 510(k) notification summary for the "Crystal Tinted Soft Contact Lenses," here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the supporting study information:

    This device (Crystal Tinted Soft Contact Lenses) is a medical device, but not one that typically relies on AI or complex algorithms requiring extensive performance studies as seen in imaging or diagnostic AI. Instead, the "study" for this type of device focuses on demonstrating safety and substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

      | e. Manufacturing process results in similar characteristics after tinting | Reactive Dye molecules permanently fixed to the polymer. "The color additives are not removed by lens handling and cleaning/disinfecting procedures. The optical performance characteristics are not altered by the lens tinting process." (Section 1 & 5) |
      | f. Compatibility with disinfection methods (chemical disinfection) | "The lens may be disinfected using a chemical disinfection system only." (This implies compatibility was confirmed, though specific data isn't detailed in the provided text beyond this statement.) (Section 3 & 8) |
      | g. Optical parameters remain the same as originally prescribed (except for decreased light transmittance due to tint intensity). | "Except for decreased light transmittance due to the tint intensity, the pretinted lens optical parameters remain the same as originally prescribed for the user prior to tinting." (This is a claim supporting equivalence, implying testing or analysis confirmed this property.) (Section 3 & 8) |

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

    • Bioburden Testing: Ten samples were tested for microorganisms. (Section 2)
    • Toxicity Studies: "All dyes to be used in the custom tinting process were mixed together and applied to (hydrophilic) soft contact lenses. The contact lenses were then subjected to the following three Toxicity Studies..." While the exact number of lenses or animals used in each specific toxicity study (Ocular Irritation, Systemic Toxicity, Cytotoxicity) is not explicitly stated in the provided text, the standard ISO protocols for these tests would involve specific sample sizes (e.g., rabbits for ocular irritation, mice for systemic toxicity, in-vitro samples for cytotoxicity). However, the document doesn't provide the specifics beyond "the contact lenses were then subjected to..."
    • Data Provenance: The Bioburden testing was performed at NAMSA in Northwood, Ohio. The Toxicity Studies were performed by North American Science Associates Incorporated. This indicates the testing was done by certified labs. The submission date (Oct 14, 1999) suggests the data is retrospective relative to the submission, but the tests themselves would have been conducted prospectively by the labs.

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

    There were no human "experts" establishing ground truth in the conventional sense (e.g., radiologists interpreting images) for this device's performance assessment. The "ground truth" for contact lenses is established through standardized laboratory testing (bioburden, toxicity) and material characterization, guided by FDA regulations and ISO standards. The expertise comes from the certified laboratories (NAMSA, North American Science Associates) conducting these specific tests and interpreting the results against established pass/fail criteria.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable for this type of device. The evaluation relied on objective laboratory test results against predefined standards (e.g., "

    Device Description

    The CRYSTAL Implants System implants are post-type endosseous dental implants with design and manufacturing concepts, materials, surgical procedures, and intended uses quite similar to the preamendment device and to others rated substantially equivalent to the preamendment device. This CRYSTAL-SEAL system is most similar to the Crystal and Crystal Plus Implants System which received concurrence of substantial equivalence from the Food and Drug Administration in premarket notification submission K-954432. Like many commercial implants, the CRYSTAL devices are manufactured of high-purity (99+%) titanium, or titanium alloy (ASTM F 136-84 titanium - 6 aluminum - 4 vanadium). CRYSTAL Implants also are available in coated form, either hydroxyapatite or titanium plasma spray.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a dental implant system (CRYSTAL and CRYSTAL-SEAL Implants System). It does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance metrics, or a study design that would prove the device meets specific performance criteria. This document is focused on establishing substantial equivalence to pre-amendment devices and other already-cleared devices.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer many of the questions as the information is not present in the provided text.

    Here's what can be inferred and what is explicitly stated concerning the lack of a traditional performance study:

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

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    N/A (No specific performance criteria for substantial equivalence are defined in this document beyond material and design similarity to predicate devices)N/A (No quantitative performance data is provided). The document states, "Endosseous implants, and especially those of titanium or titanium alloy, in the 'post' or 'screw' configuration, have been proved safe and effective through the years." This refers to the general category of devices, not specific performance metrics for the CRYSTAL system.

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

    • N/A. No formal test set or clinical study specific to the CRYSTAL and CRYSTAL-SEAL Implants System is described in this 510(k) summary. The submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices and general literature on endosseous implants.

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

    • N/A. No test set or ground truth establishment process for performance evaluation is described.

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

    • N/A. No test set or adjudication method 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:

    • N/A. This device is a dental implant, not an AI software or a diagnostic imaging device that would typically involve human readers or MRMC studies.

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

    • N/A. This device is a physical medical device (dental implant), not an algorithm or AI system.

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

    • N/A. Given the type of submission (510(k) based on substantial equivalence), the "ground truth" for proving safety and effectiveness relies on the long-standing history of similar pre-amendment devices and contemporary legally marketed predicate devices. The document cites literature reviews and a 10-year study (Toronto study by Zarb) on the Branemark implant technique as evidence of safety and effectiveness for endosseous implants in general, not specifically for the CRYSTAL system.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • N/A. No "training set" in the context of an algorithm or AI model is applicable here.

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

    • N/A. Not applicable, as there is no training set for an algorithm.

    Conclusion regarding the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria":

    The provided text does not describe a specific study for the CRYSTAL and CRYSTAL-SEAL Implants System that establishes acceptance criteria and directly proves the device meets them. Instead, the submission relies on the concept of Substantial Equivalence (SE).

    The core argument for the device's safety and effectiveness is made by:

    • Similarity to pre-amendment devices: Stating that it is "equivalent to devices manufactured and sold before 1976."
    • Similarity to currently marketed predicate devices: Explicitly referencing K-954432 (Crystal and Crystal Plus Implants System) and other examples cleared by the FDA (e.g., Bofors Nobelpharma, Core-Vent Corp., etc.).
    • General acceptance and literature review: The document includes a "Clinical Discussion and Brief Literature Review" which summarizes that "Endosseous implants...have been proved safe and effective through the years." It references a Medline search, a Consensus Development Conference on Dental Implants (NIH, 1988), and specifically the Toronto 10-year study by Zarb on the Branemark implant technique. This literature supports the general safety and effectiveness of the class of devices, implying that because the CRYSTAL system is substantially equivalent in design, materials, and intended use, it also shares this established safety and effectiveness.

    In essence, the "proof" is through demonstrating that the device is fundamentally the same as other devices already proven safe and effective, rather than presenting a de novo study for this specific product.
