    Intended Use

    Dental casting alloy used in combination with dental ceramics for fabrication of metallo-ceramic restoration.

    Device Description

    Palladium based casting alloy

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) summary for the Palceram 82SF dental casting alloy, asserting its substantial equivalence to the legally marketed device Argipal. The information provided heavily emphasizes a direct comparison of the new device to the predicate device, rather than defining independent acceptance criteria with separate performance goals.

    Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" are presented as a comparison to the predicate device, Argipal, arguing that because Palceram 82SF has "practically identical technological characteristics" it meets the necessary standards. There is no explicit and distinct set of predetermined acceptance criteria independent of the predicate device for this submission.

    Here's the information requested, based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Note: The acceptance criteria for Palceram 82SF are implicitly defined by its substantial equivalence to the Argipal alloy. The "reported device performance" for Palceram 82SF is presented as being nearly identical to Argipal.

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

    The document states that "Test methods applied: as in ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693." However, it does not specify the sample size for any of the tests performed or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective). The data presented appears to be summary statistics rather than raw data from a specific test set.

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

    Not applicable. This submission concerns a dental casting alloy, and performance is determined by physical and chemical property testing, not expert interpretation of outputs.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Not applicable. This submission concerns a dental casting alloy, and performance is determined by physical and chemical property testing, not subjective adjudication.

    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 is not an AI-assisted device.

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

    Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-based device. The testing described is for material properties.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    The "ground truth" for the performance claims is based on standard laboratory measurements of chemical composition as well as physical and mechanical properties, conducted according to ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693 standards.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI-based device, so there is no concept of a training set. The data presented is for the characterization of the material.

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

    Not applicable. As there is no training set for this type of device, this question is not relevant.
