The BellaTek Bars are intended to disperse the load of a prosthesis across dental implant-abutment assemblies. They also provide support for prosthetic devices such as artificial teeth, and to restore the patient's chewing function. The subject devices are identical to the reference predicate device CAM StructSURE Precision Milled Bars cleared in K080864 (SE 07/21/2008) with the only addition of the new connection geometry. The subject device has a new bar-to-abutment connection tailored to the multi-unit restorative abutment component(s) with which the device is intended to be used. Similar to the primary predicate device (K233083), the BellaTek Bars are manufactured out of commercially pure titanium per ASTM F67 or Titanium Alloy per ASTM F136. The BellaTek Bars are placed in a nylon bag and sealed in same manner as the reference predicate device (K080864). A label is applied to the bag.

Like the primary predicate device (K233083), the BellaTek Bars are offered in two types. A Type I Bar is a Titanium Alloy bar designed for use with removable overdentures. A Type II Bar is a Pure Titanium or Titanium Alloy bar designed for fixed prosthesis. All BellaTek Bars (Dolder, Primary, Hader, Hybrid, Freeform, Canada, Wraparound and Copy Milled) are designed to match an individual patient. The bars are designed from a three-dimensional optical and/or digital scanner system that scans the casting of a patient's impression and then is machined using a CAD/CAM software system in accordance with customer specifications, within the limits of design defined in tables below. The subject devices are provided non-sterile in same manner as the predicate devices.

The BellaTek Bars are dental implant abutments intended to restore chewing function in partially or fully edentulous jaws by attaching to a minimum of two abutments.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting study details:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Based on the provided text, the acceptance criteria are primarily aligned with demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through materials, design specifications, and performance bench testing. Specific quantitative performance targets are not explicitly listed in an "acceptance criteria" table format in the provided document, but rather implied through comparison to existing standards and predicate devices.

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

• Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of devices or cases. The document refers to "worst case design" being validated. For sterilization, the validation process implies testing units to demonstrate SAL. For biocompatibility, "representative Biomet 3i patient-specific bar devices" were used. For MRI review, it was a "non-clinical worst-case MRI review... based on the entire system including all variations." This suggests a methodology of evaluating design limits and material properties rather than a large clinical test set.
• Data Provenance: The studies are non-clinical (bench testing, material analysis, literature review, MRI rationale). No specific country of origin for non-clinical data is mentioned, but the standards followed (e.g., ASTM, ISO, EN ISO) are international. The studies are by nature prospective as they are conducted to support the specific device submission, but they leverage established scientific literature and standards.

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

Given that the studies are non-clinical bench tests, material characterizations, and literature reviews, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth for a test set" in a clinical diagnostic sense does not directly apply. The "ground truth" for these types of studies is established by:

• Regulatory Standards: Adherence to recognized standards like ASTM F136, ASTM F67, ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, EN ISO 17665-1, and FDA guidance documents.
• Engineering and Scientific Expertise: The performance of bench tests, material analysis, and MRI safety assessments would be conducted by engineers, material scientists, and physicists with expertise in these areas. While individual names or specific numbers aren't listed, this expertise is inherent in conducting such tests.
• Literature: The MRI safety assessment explicitly mentions using "published literature" as part of its scientific rationale, implying leveraging the consensus of experts in that field.

No specific number of experts or their detailed qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience") are provided in the context of establishing ground truth for a test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 typically refer to the process of resolving discrepancies among multiple human readers in clinical studies where subjective interpretation is involved (e.g., image reading). The studies described here are non-clinical, objective evaluations (bench testing, material analysis).

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. The provided document states: "No clinical data were included in this submission." Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was conducted or reported.

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

Not applicable. This device is a physical dental implant bar, not an AI algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for these studies is based on:

• Regulatory Standards and Specifications: Adherence to performance parameters detailed in FDA guidance documents (e.g., "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments"), and international standards (ASTM, ISO, EN ISO).
• Material Properties: Data derived from chemical and mechanical testing of the materials (ASTM F136, ASTM F67).
• Biocompatibility Endpoints: Established biological safety endpoints defined by ISO 10993 standards.
• MRI Safety Rationale: Scientific principles and published literature related to magnetic fields and medical devices.
• Demonstration of Substantial Equivalence: Direct comparison of technological characteristics and performance to legally marketed predicate devices.

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 algorithms. The design and manufacturing processes are developed through traditional engineering methods and validated through the testing described.

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

Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.

The Osteon Precision Milled Suprastructures (also referred as superstructures) are metallic dental restorative device that is intended for attaching by screw retention to dental abutments to aid in the treatment of partial and totally edentulous patients for the purpose of restoring their chewing function. These suprastructures attach to previously-cleared original equipment manufacturers (OEM) dental abutments using the (OEM) prosthetic screws. The abutmentborne subject devices are indicated for placement only on OEM implant/abutment constructs placed according to the labeling of the previously-cleared systems, and not to exceed the maximum angulation allowed for each OEM implant/abutment construct as identified in the Indications for Use Statement of the subject system.

The Osteon Precision Milled Suprastructure is designed for an individual patient from scans of the patient's impression. The suprastructure is manufactured in biocompatible Titanium alloy with the aid of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) technology. All CAD/CAM fabrication is performed by Osteon Medical, within our premises.

Osteon Precision Milled Suprastructures facilitate the attachment of both removable and fixed dental prosthesis and hence categorized as type A and type B.

This document is a 510(k) summary for a dental device, the Osteon Precision Milled Suprastructure. It outlines the regulatory process and demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than presenting a study that proves the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information about acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment is not available in this document.

Here's why and what information can be extracted:

• This is a 510(k) submission: The primary goal of a 510(k) is to demonstrate that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device, not necessarily to prove its performance against a set of novel acceptance criteria through a clinical trial.
• Focus on Substantial Equivalence: The document compares features like indications for use, materials, design, and manufacturing processes to existing devices.
• Non-Clinical Testing Mentioned: The document refers to non-clinical tests performed, but these are primarily for demonstrating compatibility, material safety, and sterility, not performance against specific clinical efficacy or accuracy metrics.

Information that can be extracted or inferred:

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

This document does not present explicit "acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of performance metrics for an AI/algorithm-driven device. Instead, it demonstrates similarity to predicate devices based on design specifications and material properties. The "performance" is implicitly deemed acceptable if it's shown to be substantially equivalent to the established predicate devices.

(Note: "Similar" indicates that the values or characteristics fall within or are comparable to those of the predicate/reference devices, with stated differences not impacting safety/efficacy from the manufacturer's perspective.)

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

• Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable. This submission relies on "non-clinical tests" (dimensional analysis, biocompatibility, sterilization validation) and comparison to existing predicate marketing clearances. It does not describe a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm evaluation with human interpretation or image analysis. The "test" consists of demonstrating manufacturing conformance and material properties for the physical device.
• Data Provenance: The device is manufactured by Implant Solutions PTY LTD (trading as Osteon Medical) in Mulgrave, Victoria, 3170 Australia. The non-clinical tests (e.g., biocompatibility and sterilization validation) would have been performed there or at certified labs. These are bench tests, not clinical data sets.

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

• Not applicable. There's no "ground truth" to establish in the context of an AI/ML algorithm or diagnostic accuracy study. The assessment is based on physical device characteristics and established standards.

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

• Not applicable. This is not a study requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.

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 physical dental device (suprastructure), not an AI algorithm.

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

• Not applicable. This is a physical dental device (suprastructure), not an AI algorithm.

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

• Not applicable. The "ground truth" for this medical device submission is compliance with engineering specifications, material standards (e.g., ASTM F136), and validated manufacturing processes, all demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing.

8. The sample size for the training set:

• Not applicable. This is a physical dental device. While it is manufactured using CAD/CAM technology, it does not involve an AI/ML model that requires a training set of data.

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

• Not applicable. See point 8.
