PEEK Biosolution is intended to be used for the fabrication of permanent dental restorations using CAD/CAM techniques. These are:

• Fully anatomical crowns and bridges (max. 2 pontics and min. 13 mm² connector cross-section)
• Crown copings and bridge substructures for composite veneering (max. 2 pontics and min.13 mm² connector cross-section))
• Telescopic primary and secondary crowns and frameworks
• Secondary bar structures on primary bars made of titanium alloy, CoCr alloys, gold alloy, zirconium dioxide.

PEEK Biosolution is a solid disc composed of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and is indicated for the fabrication of permanent dental restorations using CAD/CAM techniques and equipment.

The provided text describes the regulatory filing for the PEEK Biosolution dental material, which is a Class II medical device. The information details the device's characteristics, intended use, and a comparison to a predicate device (breCAM.BioHPP) to establish substantial equivalence.

Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request for acceptance criteria and study details:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The provided document includes a table titled "Physical Properties of PEEK Biosolution and breCAM.BioHPP" which clearly lists various physical and mechanical properties. The "passing value" serves as the acceptance criteria for most of these tests.

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 used for each of the physical and mechanical tests. It also does not directly state the data provenance in terms of country of origin or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. It only mentions that "All tests were performed according to GLP requirements," which implies a certain standard of research practice but not the specific design or origin.

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 information is not applicable to this type of device and study. The testing for the PEEK Biosolution material is based on standardized physical and mechanical property measurements, not on expert interpretation of medical images or clinical outcomes that would require a "ground truth" established by human experts.

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

This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used in studies involving human interpretation or clinical endpoints, where disagreements between evaluators need to be resolved. The tests performed for this device are objective measurements of material properties.

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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not applicable to this device. This type of study assesses the performance of diagnostic devices, especially those involving human interpretation, and often in the context of AI assistance. PEEK Biosolution is a dental material, not a diagnostic tool or an AI-powered system designed to assist human readers.

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

This is not applicable to the PEEK Biosolution device as it is a physical dental material, not an algorithm or AI system.

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

For the physical and mechanical testing: The "ground truth" in this context refers to the established scientific and engineering principles and the measurement methods defined by international standards (e.g., ISO 11357, ISO 62, ISO 10477, ISO 1183, ISO 20795-1). The device's performance is compared against these predetermined criteria as defined by the standards and often to the predicate device's measured performance.
For biocompatibility: The ground truth was established by recognized standards like ISO 10993-1 and USP Class VI, which define the acceptable biological response of materials in contact with the body.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable as PEEK Biosolution is a physical dental material and does not involve AI or machine learning models that require training sets.

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

This is not applicable for the same reason as #8.
