Static compression-strength and fatigue tests met pre-set criteria. | The test results met the pre-set criteria for static compression-strength and fatigue tests for all relevant components, demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size for the test set used in the performance bench tests (static compression-strength and fatigue tests). It mentions "test was performed on the subject device and predicate device" and "representative specimen".
- Sample Size (Test Set): Not explicitly stated as a numerical value for each test (e.g., how many implants were tested for fatigue). It generally refers to "the subject device and predicate device" and "representative specimen" in singular form, implying at least one of each worst-case scenario. However, for a regulatory submission of this nature, multiple samples would typically be tested to establish statistical confidence, even if not explicitly detailed in this summary.
- Data Provenance: The study is non-clinical bench testing. The country of origin of the data is not specified, but the applicant and correspondent are located in the Republic of Korea. The tests are prospective as they were conducted specifically for this submission to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts
This is not applicable as the studies are non-clinical bench tests (physical properties, biocompatibility, sterilization, etc.). Ground truth in this context is established by adherence to recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM, USP) and FDA guidance documents. There is no mention of human experts interpreting test results for "ground truth" in the way it might apply to a clinical study involving medical image analysis, for example.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This is not applicable for non-clinical bench testing. Passing or failing criteria are determined by adherence to established engineering and material science standards (e.g., force applied, number of cycles, endotoxin concentration limits).
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No. This is a submission for a dental implant system involving physical components. MRMC studies are typically performed for AI/CAD systems that assist human readers in tasks like medical image interpretation.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
No. As above, this is for a physical medical device. There is no algorithm involved.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The provided text does not describe an AI/ML device but rather a dental implant system. Therefore, details regarding AI/ML device performance, such as acceptance criteria, test set sample size, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or training set specifics, are not applicable and not present in the document.
The document focuses on demonstrating the substantial equivalence of the "AnyOne Onestage Implant System" to predicate devices, primarily through comparison of design, materials, indications for use, and mechanical performance testing (biocompatibility, surface treatment, endotoxin, sterilization, and static/fatigue tests).
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Not Applicable for AI/ML):
Since this is a non-AI/ML device, the concept of "acceptance criteria" as it relates to algorithm performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) and "reported device performance" in that context is not relevant. Instead, the document demonstrates that the new device meets established standards and is equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices through various non-clinical tests.
However, if we interpret "acceptance criteria" as the criteria for demonstrating substantial equivalence for this medical device (dental implant system) and "reported device performance" as the results of the non-clinical tests, we can extract details regarding the physical property tests performed. The acceptance criterion for these tests is that the device must meet "pre-set criteria" according to ISO 14801 and "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutment," and the reported performance is simply that the test results "met the pre-set criteria."
Summary of Non-Clinical Testing Performance for Dental Implant System:
Acceptance Criteria (Met by) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Biocompatibility: In accordance with ISO 10993-1. | "Additional biocompatibility testing is not required... since AnyOne Onestage Implant System has same material composition, manufacturing process and patient contacting parts as predicate device." |
Modified Surface Treatment: In accordance with 'Section 11 of Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutment'. | "AnyOne Onestage Implant System has same surface treatment and manufacturing process as predicate device" for SLA, Anodizing, and TiN coating. |
Pyrogen and Endotoxin Test: "Not be labeled as 'non-pyrogenic'", endotoxin testing conducted on every batch with a testing limit below 0.5 EU/mL in accordance with USP 39 . | "endotoxin testing will be conducted on every batch... with the testing limit of below 0.5 EU/mL". |
Sterilization Validation: In accordance with ISO 11137 and ISO 17665-1, 2 to verify sterility assurance level (10^-4^). Accelerated aging method in accordance with ASTM F1980 to validate shelf life. | Tests validated a 5-year shelf life. Sterilization validation met SAL (10^-4^). |
Performance (Physical Properties) Test: "Pre-set criteria" according to "ISO 14801" and "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutment" for static compression-strength test and fatigue test. | "The test results met the pre-set criteria." |
Further details as requested (adapted for a non-AI/ML device):

The Zuga™ Dental Implant System includes endosseous dental implants, sealing caps, healing caps, dental implant abutments, and fixation screws in a variety of sizes to accommodate differing patient anatomy. Implantation is suitable for one-or two-stage procedures. Endosseous implants are bone level, self-tapping, root-form, threaded. The threaded surface is blasted, then passivated. Sizematched anterior and posterior abutments are offered. Thes are fastened to the implant using a fixation screw. Sealing caps and healing caps provide protection to the abutment connection threads during endosseous and gingival healing. The implants are provided sterile, the remaining components must be sterilized prior to use.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Zuga™ Dental Implant System. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than proving that the device meets a set of specific acceptance criteria through clinical performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy, as would be common for AI-driven diagnostic devices.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria in terms of performance metrics for an AI/ML device, nor does it detail a study proving the device meets such criteria with respect to AI performance.
Instead, the "Performance Data" section ([15]) focuses on biological and mechanical compatibility/safety testing, which is standard for medical devices like dental implants. These tests are designed to show that the physical device itself is safe and performs as intended, not to evaluate an AI algorithm's diagnostic or predictive capabilities.
Here's an breakdown of the information present and what's missing, based on the prompt's requirements:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
- Present: The document lists various tests performed and their outcomes which act as "acceptance criteria" for a physical medical device. These are:
- Static fatigue tests and dynamic fatigue tests (per ISO 14801 and FDA Guidance): "The results show that the Zuga™ Dental Implant System has sufficient mechanical strength for the intended clinical application."
- Cytotoxicity testing (per ISO 10993-5 and USP ): "The results showed that the Zuga™ Dental Implant System received a passing score and is thus acceptable for clinical application."
- Sterility tests (per ISO 10993, ISO 11137-1, 11137-2, ISO 17665-1, 17665-2): "yielded no difference in performance between the Zuga™ Dental Implant System and the predicate device."
- LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) bacterial endotoxin tests (per ISO 10993 and USP , ): "yielded a EU/Device value that was less than the established acceptance criteria of 20 EU/Device".
- Shelf life tests (per ISO 11607): "established the shelf life to be five years provided the sterile seal is not breached."
- Missing (for an AI/ML device context): Specific performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, AUC, FROC, etc., and their corresponding acceptance thresholds.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Present: For LAL tests, it states: "The sampling plan consists of selecting 3% of the batch up to a maximum of 10 samples to be pooled for testing."
- Missing (for an AI/ML device context): Sample size for a "test set" of patient data (e.g., medical images, clinical records) for an AI algorithm. Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not applicable or mentioned for these physical/biological tests.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Missing: This information is not relevant to the mechanical/biological testing of a physical implant. It would be crucial for an AI/ML device based on clinical data.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Missing: Not applicable to the presented data.
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:
- Missing: Not applicable. This device is a physical dental implant, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Missing: Not applicable.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- Present (for physical device tests): The "ground truth" here is adherence to international standards (ISO, ASTM) and USP guidelines for mechanical strength, biocompatibility, sterilization, and endotoxin levels.
- Missing (for an AI/ML device context): Clinical ground truth established by experts or pathology for diagnostic purposes.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Missing: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Missing: Not applicable.
In summary: The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a physical dental implant system. Its "acceptance criteria" and "performance data" relate to the mechanical, chemical, and biological safety and efficacy of the implant itself, demonstrated through adherence to various international and US standards. It contains no information relevant to the development, testing, or performance of an AI/ML device.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified for any of the non-clinical tests. For mechanical and material tests like fatigue and surface analysis, samples of the physical device components are tested according to the relevant ISO standards, but a "test set" in the context of clinical or AI validation is not applicable here.
- Data Provenance: The device manufacturer is T-Plus Implant Tech. Co., Ltd. in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The non-clinical testing was performed either directly by the manufacturer or by a contracted lab, with the results provided as part of the 510(k) submission. No information on the country of origin of "data" in a patient or imaging context is relevant or provided. The studies are not clinical human studies; they are bench tests.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- This question is not applicable. "Ground truth" established by experts is relevant for diagnostic devices, especially those using AI, where a human expert's interpretation (e.g., radiologist's reading) is compared to the device's output. For an endosseous dental implant, "ground truth" is established by engineering specifications, material science standards, and the results of physical and chemical tests (e.g., measuring forces, observing material degradation, analyzing surface composition).
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in clinical studies or multi-reader studies to resolve discrepancies among expert readers when establishing a "ground truth" for a diagnostic task. The tests performed for this dental implant are non-clinical bench tests (e.g., fatigue, biocompatibility), where results are determined by objective measurements against predefined standards.
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 question is not applicable. The "A Plus Internal Fixture System" is a physical dental implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive device. Therefore, no MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers or AI assistance was performed or is relevant to its substantial equivalence determination.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- This question is not applicable. The device is an endosseous dental implant, not an algorithm. There is no "standalone algorithm" performance to report.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on established engineering standards, material specifications, and regulatory requirements. For example, for the fatigue test, the "ground truth" is that the implant must withstand a certain number of load cycles at a specified force as per ISO 14801. For biocompatibility, the "ground truth" is that the materials must not elicit adverse biological reactions as defined by ISO 10993 series for medical devices. For surface coating, the "ground truth" is the absence of residual particles.
8. The sample size for the training set
- This question is not applicable. There is no "training set" for this type of device, as it is not a machine learning or AI-based system.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- This question is not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth to be established for it.

EBI Dental Implant System is intended for immediate, delayed, or conventional placement in the maxillary and/or mandibular arches to support crowns, bridges, or overdentures in edentulous or partially edentulous patients.
An endosseous dental implant is a device made of a material such as Pure Titanium Grade 4 and Titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V ELI). EBI Implant system has been designed to accommodate the following dental implant restoration protocols; Immediate or Early loading, immediate placement or one or two stage placement. EBI Implant systems help patients who have partial or whole teeth loss mastication to chew as dental implant. The EBI External Implant System has an external connection.
The surface of the system has been treated with RBM (Resorbable Blasted media).
The Fixture diameters are 3.25, 3.3, 3.75, 4, 4.1, 4.8, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7mm and lengths are 7, 8, 8.1, 8.5, 9, 9.6, 10, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.6, 13, 14, 14.6, 15mm in this system.
The contained various abutments and accessories in the system are cover screw, healing abutment, cemented abutment, temporary abutment, healing cap, impression coping, analog, fixture mount, Ti-screw, angled abutment, impression guide pin, gold UCLA abutment and locator.
Fixtures and abutments are packaged separately. The Fixtures are supplied sterile and the abutments and accessories are provided non-sterile. The abutments and accessories should be sterilized before use.
The EBI External Implant System is a dental implant system. The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification, which demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving specific acceptance criteria with detailed studies in the manner typically seen for novel AI/software devices. Therefore, the information typically requested for AI/software-based devices regarding acceptance criteria, ground truth, sample sizes, and expert adjudication for performance studies is not directly applicable or available in this document.
However, based on the provided text, we can glean information about the performance testing conducted and how it demonstrates "safety and effectiveness" in the context of a dental implant.
Here's an analysis based on the available information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria in terms of performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or F1-score, as would be expected for a diagnostic or AI-driven decision support system. Instead, for a dental implant, performance is assessed through bench testing demonstrating structural integrity and compliance with recognized standards.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Fatigue Resistance (to ensure durability under physiological loads) | Fatigue Testing was performed in accordance with ISO 14801:2007 |
Biocompatibility (materials used are safe for implantation) | Fabricated from CP Titanium (Grade 4) conforming to ASTM F67 and Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) conforming to ASTM F136 |
Sterility (implants are sterile) | Fixtures are supplied sterile; abutments and accessories are provided non-sterile but should be sterilized before use; Gamma Sterilization: Yes |
Shelf Life (maintaining integrity over time) | 5 years |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document doesn't provide specific sample sizes for the fatigue testing in terms of the number of tested devices. It only states that "Fatigue Testing was performed in accordance with ISO 14801:2007." ISO 14801 specifies test methods for dental implants, which would inherently include a defined number of samples to ensure statistical validity, but this detail is not explicitly stated in the 510(k) summary.
Data Provenance: The testing was conducted by EBI Inc., a South Korean company.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This question is not applicable in the context of this device and testing. The "ground truth" for a dental implant's mechanical performance is defined by adherence to engineering standards and material specifications, not expert consensus on an image or diagnosis.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used for resolving disagreements among human experts in clinical performance studies, typically for diagnostic devices. Mechanical bench testing of an implant does not involve such human-based 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 a medical device (dental implant), not an AI or software-assisted diagnostic system. Therefore, MRMC studies examining human reader performance with or without AI are not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. There is no algorithm. The device is a physical dental implant.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for the performance of the EBI External Implant System is based on established engineering and material standards, specifically:
- ISO 14801:2007 for fatigue testing of dental implants.
- ASTM F67 for unalloyed titanium (CP Titanium Grade 4) used in dental implants.
- ASTM F136 for wrought titanium-6aluminum-4vanadium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) for surgical implant applications.
- General device safety and effectiveness principles outlined in FDA's Class II special controls guidance document for root-form endosseous dental implants and abutments.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not a learning algorithm or AI/ML device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm, the concept of establishing ground truth for it does not apply.
