    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and its associated summary for the Neodent Implant System - Zirconia Implant System contain extensive information about the device, its intended use, and comparisons to predicate devices. However, it does not include specific acceptance criteria with numerical thresholds directly stated within the tables, nor does it detail a study that directly proves the device meets such criteria in terms of performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or image quality assessments.

    Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through various tests, implying that if the new device performs similarly to or better than previously cleared devices, it meets the necessary standards. The performance testing section describes the types of tests conducted (e.g., dynamic fatigue, torsion, insertion, pull-out, and software validation), but it does not present clear quantitative acceptance criteria or the specific performance results in a comparative table format.

    Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be directly extracted from the provided text as they pertain more to the performance evaluation of AI/software in interpreting medical images, which is not the primary focus of this dental implant submission.

    Here's an attempt to answer the questions based on the available information, noting where information is not explicitly provided in the document:


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study for Neodent Implant System - Zirconia Implant System

    The FDA 510(k) summary for the Neodent Implant System - Zirconia Implant System focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through a combination of bench testing, software validation, MRI compatibility, biocompatibility, and sterilization validation. It does not present specific quantitative acceptance criteria or performance metrics directly from a comparative study in the way one might expect for an AI/software-based medical device (e.g., sensitivity, specificity thresholds). Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met by demonstrating that the proposed devices perform at a level substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices under standardized testing conditions.

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

    As mentioned, explicit numerical acceptance criteria and reported device performance in a comparative table (e.g., for diagnostic accuracy) are not provided in this 510(k) summary. The summary indicates that tests were conducted according to relevant ISO standards and FDA guidance, and the results demonstrated that the subject devices exhibit a level of performance substantial equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.

    Below is a conceptual table based on the types of tests mentioned, noting that specific numerical acceptance criteria and performance data are not detailed in the provided text.

    Device Description

    Sherlock is a dental implant abutment system that is being expanded to include a new compatible implant system, Neodent GM®. The Subject device implant platform diameter is 3.0 mm, and the corresponding compatible implant body diameters range from 3.5 mm to 7.0 mm.

    The abutment designs are Titanium Base, Titanium Blank, Straight Multi-Unit, Multi-Unit Angled 17°, and Multi-Unit Angled 30° Abutments. These abutment designs were previously cleared in the sponsor's K220482 Predicate device and K212664 Reference device submissions. All abutment designs are provided with corresponding abutment screws.

    The Subject device Titanium Base abutments are intended to be used as a two-piece abutment composed of the base bottom-portion (prefabricated titanium base component) with a cemented/bonded CAD-CAM fabricated zirconia top-portion (superstructure) where the final two-piece abutment (base component and cemented superstructure) is the finished device used for the prosthetic restoration. Each patient-specific zirconia superstructure is individually prescribed by the clinician and manufactured by an authorized milling center.

    All Subject device prefabricated titanium base components are provided in a straight design with no angulation in the titanium base post. They are provided with either an indexed/engaging implant connection for crowns or a non-engaging/nonindexed implant connections for bridges. The standard prefabricated titanium base components are provided in gingival heights ranging from 0.8 mm to 3.0 mm and abutment post lengths of 8 mm or 10 mm. The ASC prefabricated titanium base components are provided in gingival heights ranging 0.8 mm to 2.5 mm and abutment post length of 8 mm. Additional gingival height may be provided for both abutment designs in the zirconia superstructure. ASC prefabricated titanium base components are provided with a cutout in the prosthetic post to accommodate a restoration with an angled screw channel when clinically necessary. Standard prefabricated titanium base components and ASC prefabricated titanium base components posts may be reduced to 4 mm to accommodate individual patient occlusion. The zirconia mesostructure may contain an angled post within the established design parameters.

    The overall design parameters for the two-part Standard and ASC CAD/CAM prefabricated titanium base components with zirconia mesostructure are:

    • Minimum Zirconia Wall Thickness – 0.5 mm
    • Minimum Post Height for single-unit abutment* – 4.0 mm
    • Minimum Overall Gingival Height – 0.8 mm (titanium base plus zirconia)
    • Maximum Overall Gingival Height – 5 mm
    • Maximum Correction Angle – 30°

    The required cement for bonding the zirconia superstructure to the Subject device Titanium Bases to create the final two-piece abutment is Kuraray Noritake Dental PANAVIA™ V5 cleared in K150704.

    Titanium Blank abutments, sometimes referred to as "Pre-mill" or "Ti-Blank" abutments are one-part abutments intended for use in a CAD/CAM workflow. Each Subject device Titanium Blank implant abutment has a pre-manufactured indexed implant connection interface with a cylindrical customization section and a milling retention geometry section. The retention geometry holds the component in a milling machine fixture while the patient-specific portion above the implant interface is milled in a dental milling machine. All patient-specific Titanium Blank abutment fabrication is by prescription on the order of the clinician.

    The overall design parameters for the Titanium Blank customized abutments are:

    • Minimum Wall Thickness – 0.75 mm
    • Minimum Post Height for single-unit abutment* – 4.0 mm
    • Minimum Overall Gingival Height – 0.8 mm
    • Maximum Overall Gingival Height – 5 mm
    • Maximum Correction Angle – 30°

    All digitally designed zirconia mesostructures for use with the Subject device titanium base abutments and digitally designed Subject device titanium blank abutments will be fabricated at an Open Implants validated milling center under FDA quality system regulations.

    Multi-Unit Abutments (MUAs) are intended for use with multi-unit restorations. They are considered two-part abutments. The base portion of the MUA is connected directly to the implant either with an integral screw (straight MUA) or with a separate multi-unit abutment screw (angulated abutments). Straight MUAs have a non-indexed connection with the dental implant. The angulated MUAs have an indexed connection with the dental implant. The second part of the MUA is a mating coping which is retained with a prosthetic screw. Multi-Unit Abutments are available in Straight, 17° Angulated and 30° Angulated configurations. The coping and prosthetic screw is compatible with each MUA design/configuration.

    All Subject device abutments and corresponding abutment screws are pre-manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) titanium conforming to ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401) and are provided non-sterile to the user. The mesostructure/copings for Titanium base abutments are fabricated from zirconia conforming to ISO 13356, Implants for surgery — Ceramic materials based on yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for Sherlock Dental Implant Abutment does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria.

    This document describes the device's indications for use, its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, and the non-clinical data reviewed by the FDA for clearance. However, it does not detail specific acceptance criteria or an associated study demonstrating compliance with those criteria.

    The "Performance Data" section lists several types of non-clinical data submitted, such as static and fatigue testing according to ISO 14801, a reverse engineering study, biocompatibility testing, cleaning and sterilization validation, and an MRI review. These are the studies performed to support the substantial equivalence claim, but the FDA letter does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria for these tests nor does it report specific performance outcomes that directly address such criteria.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table or provide details for points 1-9 based solely on the provided text. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than presenting a performance study against predefined acceptance criteria.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter for a dental device, specifically dental implant abutments. It details the device's administrative information, predicate devices, indications for use, subject device description, and performance data used to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

    However, the document does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML algorithm. The performance data section refers to non-clinical analyses, such as MR compatibility, sterilization validation, biocompatibility, mechanical properties testing, reverse engineering, and static/dynamic compression-bending testing conforming to ISO 14801. These are standard tests for mechanical dental devices, not AI/ML performance evaluation.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI device meets them based on the given text. The device described, "Mist IC," is a physical dental implant abutment, not an artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) powered medical device.

    To directly answer your prompt based on the provided text, the following information is missing or not applicable:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not applicable. The document describes mechanical and material performance testing for a physical device, not AI/ML performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC against defined acceptance criteria for an AI algorithm.
    2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. There is no AI/ML test set. The document refers to testing of physical components (OEM implants, abutments, screws, subject device constructs).
    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. No AI/ML ground truth establishment.
    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
    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 diagnostic device.
    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable. The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be the physical properties and mechanical integrity verified by engineering standards (e.g., ISO 14801).
    8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. No AI/ML training set mentioned.
    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. No AI/ML training set mentioned.

    The document focuses solely on the substantial equivalence of the "Mist IC" dental implant abutments to legally marketed predicate devices based on design, materials, manufacturing, and conventional mechanical/material performance testing.

All subject device bases are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ISO 5832-3 and ASTM F136. The Dynamic TiBase abutments are provided in engaging and non-engaging designs for single-unit and multi-unit restorations, respectively.

    For each of the compatible OEM implant lines, the prefabricated titanium base components are provided with a gingival height (in the titanium base) ranging from 0.3 mm to 4 mm, and a platform diameter ranging from 4.30 mm to 5.50 mm. Angulation and additional gingival height may be provided in the zirconia superstructure. All Dynamic TiBase prefabricated titanium base components have a post with a cut-out to accommodate a restoration with an angled channel for screw access when clinically necessary. The post height of the prefabricated titanium base component ranges from 3.8 mm to 5.40 mm, and from 2.3 mm to 3.8 mm (cut-out height). The cementable post height of the final patient-matched abutment design, measured above the total combined gingival collar, shall be no less than 4 mm.

    All zirconia superstructures (copings) used to complete the final two-piece subject device Dynamic TiBase abutment will be made at a Talladium España, SL validated milling center under FDA quality system regulations, and the material will conform to ISO 13356.

    The design parameters for the CAD-CAM zirconia superstructure for the Dynamic TiBase vary slightly among the compatible OEM implants. The design parameters for the CAD-CAM zirconia superstructure are summarized in the following table:

    Implant Compatibility (1)Minimum Wall Thickness, mmMaximum Gingival Height, mmMinimum Gingival Height (2), mmMaximum Angulation
    Osstem® TS Hiossen® ET (Internal Taper)0.325.181.225º
    Neodent GM (Morse taper)0.325.201.230º
    Nobel Active (Conical Connection)0.356.200.30
    Straumann Bone Level (CrossFit® Morse Taper)0.325.181.130º
    Straumann BLX (TorcFit™ Internal Hexalobular)0.325.341.530º

    (1) for the compatible sizes shown in Table 1
    (2) minimum gingival height in the titanium base, not the zirconia superstructure

    The required cement for bonding the zirconia superstructure to the Dynamic TiBases to create the final two-piece abutment is Nova Resin Cement cleared in K213609.

    Also, the subject of this submission are seven (7) abutment screws for use with the subject abutments.

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to a dental implant abutment — the Dynamic TiBase — not an AI-powered diagnostic device or software. Therefore, the information typically requested about acceptance criteria and study designs for validating AI/ML-based medical devices (such as sample size, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details) is not applicable to this document.

    The "performance data" section in this 510(k) summary refers to traditional engineering and biocompatibility testing for a physical medical device, not performance metrics for an algorithm.

    Here's how to interpret the provided document in the context of "acceptance criteria" and "proof":

    Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (as inferred for a physical device):

    For a physical device like the Dynamic TiBase, the "acceptance criteria" are generally met through demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device. This involves validating material properties, manufacturing processes, functional performance (e.g., mechanical strength, compatibility), and biocompatibility.

    The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" refers to the non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

    Acceptance Criterion (Inferred for a Dental Abutment)Reported Device Performance / Proof
    Biocompatibility (Device materials are safe for biological contact)Referenced from K232151 (provided in K212108): Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) for abutment materials ASTM F136 (titanium alloy) and ISO 13356 (zirconia). This indicates the materials did not show cytotoxic effects when tested according to the standard.
    Mechanical Performance/Strength (Abutment can withstand oral forces without failure)Provided in this submission: Mechanical testing conducted according to ISO 14801 to support the performance of the subject device abutments in conjunction with the compatible OEM implants. This standard specifically evaluates the fatigue strength of endosseous dental implants. The successful completion of this testing, validated against the predicate device, implies the device meets required load-bearing capacities.
    MRI Safety (Device does not pose undue risk in MRI environment)Provided in this submission: Non-clinical worst-case MRI review to evaluate subject device components in the MR environment using scientific rationale and published literature. This included addressing magnetically induced displacement force and torque parameters as per FDA guidance. The review concluded that the device is safe for MRI under specified conditions.
    Sterilization Efficacy (Device supplied non-sterile can be effectively sterilized by user)Referenced from K232151 (provided in K212108): Moist heat sterilization validated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 by the overkill method according to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1 and ANSI/AAMI/ISO TIR 17665-2. This demonstrates that the specified sterilization method for end-users achieves the required sterility.
    Dimensional Compatibility & Fit (Device correctly interfaces with specified implants)Provided in this submission: Reverse engineering dimensional analysis (of OEM implant bodies, OEM abutments, and OEM abutment screws) to demonstrate that the subject device abutments are compatible with listed OEM Implant Systems (Osstem® TS/ Hiossen® ET, Neodent GM, NobelActive, Straumann Bone Level, and Straumann BLX Implant Systems). This confirms the physical design correctly matches the intended implant systems.
    Material Conformance (Materials meet specified standards)Materials confirmed to conform to: Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F136, ISO 5832-3) for titanium components; Zirconia (ISO 13356) for superstructure; Nova Resin Cement (cleared in K213609) for bonding. This demonstrates the use of medical-grade, standard-compliant materials.
    Manufacturing Quality (Device is produced under controlled conditions)Stated that zirconia superstructures will be made at a Talladium España, SL validated milling center under FDA quality system regulations. This implies adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

    Regarding the specific questions about an AI/ML context:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Provided above, adapted for a physical medical device.
    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The "test set" for this physical device refers to the number of physical abutment samples or material samples subjected to mechanical, biocompatibility, and MRI testing. The document does not specify exact sample numbers for these engineering tests, only the standards used (e.g., ISO 14801 typically specifies minimum sample sizes). Data provenance is "non-clinical data" generated from laboratory testing.
    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for a dental abutment's performance is established by engineering standards, material specifications, and physical testing, not by expert human interpretation of images or clinical outcomes in the same way as an AI diagnostic.
    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. This is a concept used in evaluating human reader performance in AI studies.
    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 for AI-assisted diagnostic devices.
    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This refers to an AI algorithm's performance.
    7. The type of ground truth used: For a physical device, "ground truth" is defined by adherence to established engineering standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for mechanical strength), material properties, and biocompatibility standards. "Reverse engineering dimensional analysis" served as a form of "ground truth" for compatibility. No pathology or outcomes data was used for this premarket notification.
    8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.
    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    In summary, this 510(k) clearance is for a physical medical device (dental abutment), and the "performance data" section details the engineering and material testing conducted to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness, primarily through substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices. It does not involve AI/ML validation methodologies.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the Neodent Implant System - Custom Abutments and its FDA 510(k) clearance (K250614). The information provided is primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than detailed performance study results with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics for a novel AI/software device.

    Based on the provided text, the device is a physical medical device (dental implant abutment) and not an AI/software device. Therefore, the questions related to AI/software performance studies, such as sample size for test sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and training set details, are not applicable to this submission.

    The "Performance Testing" section primarily describes bench testing (dynamic fatigue and torsion tests), biocompatibility testing, and sterilization validation, which are standard for physical medical devices.

    Here's a breakdown of the available information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the format typically seen for performance metrics of a diagnostic device. Instead, it describes general compliance with standards and the determination of "not a new worst case" for dynamic fatigue.

    Acceptance Criterion (Inferred from testing)Reported Device Performance
    Dynamic Fatigue Testing (ISO 14801 compliant, FDA Guidance)Subject devices are not a new worst case compared to predicate devices. (No specific values reported in this document).
    Torsion TestingResults prove adequate torsion strength in accordance with recommended installation torque. (No specific values reported).
    Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-18 compliant)Subject devices are equivalent in material and manufacturing processes to predicate devices; no new issues raised, no additional testing required.
    Sterilization Validation (ISO 17665-1 compliant)Sterilization method (moist heat, SAL of 1x10-6) was validated and is identical to predicate devices.
    MRI CompatibilityMR conditional labeling from predicate (K182620) is applicable to subject devices.

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

    • Sample Size for Bench Testing (Dynamic Fatigue and Torsion): Not
      explicitly stated. The document mentions "a worst case analysis determined that the subject devices are not a new worst case compared to those devices tested for the primary predicate." This implies that testing was performed on a sufficient number of samples to make this determination, likely following the requirements of ISO 14801.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but these are typically laboratory-based bench tests performed by the manufacturer or a contracted testing facility.

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

    • Not Applicable. This is a physical device, and the testing involves objective measurements (e.g., force, torque, material properties) rather than expert interpretation of data for ground truth establishment.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Not Applicable. As above, the tests are objective physical measurements.

    5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

    • Not Applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or decision support system.

    6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

    • Not Applicable. This is a physical device. While it involves digital design using CAD/CAM software, the 'device' itself is the physical abutment, and its performance is evaluated through physical and material tests, not software algorithm performance.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Physical/Material Standards and Engineering Specifications. For dynamic fatigue and torsion tests, the "ground truth" or acceptance criteria are derived from established engineering principles, material properties (ASTM F136 for titanium alloy), and international standards (ISO 14801). For biocompatibility, it's compliance with ISO 10993 series.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Not Applicable. This is a physical device; there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models.

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

    • Not Applicable. As above, no training set for an AI/ML model for this physical device.

    The digital dentistry workflow uses scan files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) summary for DESS Dental Smart Solutions focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for dental implant abutments. It primarily addresses the expansion of compatible materials, scanners, CAM software, and milling machines within an existing digital dentistry workflow. The document does not describe an AI/ML-based device that would typically have acceptance criteria related to diagnostic performance.

    Therefore, many of the requested items related to AI/ML device performance (like acceptance criteria for diagnostic metrics, sample size for test sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details) are not applicable to this submission.

    The acceptance criteria and supporting "study" (non-clinical data) for this device are related to its mechanical performance, biocompatibility, and integration within the digital workflow, demonstrating that the expanded components maintain the safety and effectiveness of the previously cleared predicate devices.

    Here's a breakdown based on the information provided and the non-applicability of AI/ML-specific questions:

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

    Since this is not an AI/ML diagnostic device, the acceptance criteria are not in terms of traditional diagnostic metrics (sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, they are related to material properties, mechanical integrity, and the digital workflow's accuracy.

      | CAM Restriction Zones / Manufacturing Accuracy | - Validation testing of CAM restriction zones conducted, including verification to show avoidance of damage or modifications of the connection geometry, and locking of restriction zones from user editing in CAM software. (Implies successful validation to ensure manufacturing precision and prevent damage.) |
      | Material Conformance | - Zirconia materials conform to ISO 6872.
    • Titanium alloy conforms to ASTM F136.
    • Co-Cr-Mo alloy conforms to ASTM F15337. (Implies materials meet standards.) |
      | Physical Dimensions | - Device encompasses the same range of physical dimensions as the predicate device. (Implies dimensional equivalence.) |

    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: Not explicitly stated in terms of a "test set" for diagnostic performance. The validation involved physical testing of components (e.g., fatigue testing) and software verification. The specific number of abutments or digital design instances used for these non-clinical tests is not detailed in this summary.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of patient data for an AI/ML device. The "data" here refers to engineering and material testing results, likely conducted in controlled lab environments (implied to be in accordance with international standards like ISO and ASTM). The manufacturer is Terrats Medical SL, in Spain, so testing would likely originate from their facilities or contracted labs.

    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. This is not a diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" for this device relates to engineering specifications and material science.

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

    Not applicable. This is not a diagnostic device involving expert review 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 device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

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

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm.

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

    For this device, the "ground truth" is based on:

    • Engineering Specifications: Defined design parameters (e.g., minimum wall thickness, post height, angulation limits).
    • Material Standards: Conformance to international standards such as ASTM F136, ISO 6872.
    • Benchmarking/Predicate Equivalence: Performance is assessed against established performance of the predicate devices and OEM implant systems.
    • Software Validation Logic: Verification that software correctly enforces design rules and CAD/CAM restrictions.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) clearance letter and summary describe a medical device, Medentika CAD/CAM Abutments, and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on non-clinical performance data. The document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or performance data for an AI/ML-based device, nor does it detail a clinical study involving human readers or expert consensus for ground truth.

    Therefore, for the information requested in your prompt, I can only extract what is presented in the document, which pertains to the non-AI aspects of device acceptance and testing. Many of the points specifically refer to AI/MRMC studies, which are not applicable to this document.

    Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

    Device Description and Purpose:
    The device is "Medentika CAD/CAM Abutments," which are dental implant abutments. The primary purpose of this submission is to expand the fabrication options for patient-specific final abutments from a "validated milling center" to a "digital dentistry workflow" that integrates CAD/CAM software and milling machines. It also adds new sizes and OEM compatibilities.

    Study Type:
    This is a pre-market notification (510(k)) submission seeking substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices. It relies heavily on non-clinical performance data to demonstrate that the new manufacturing workflow and expanded compatibilities do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.


    Analysis of Requested Information (based on the provided document):

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

    The document outlines various performance tests conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence, but it does not explicitly present a "table of acceptance criteria" with corresponding "reported device performance." Instead, it states that the tests demonstrate sufficient strength or ensure accuracy and reliability.

    Here's a summary of the performance tests and their implied purpose:

    Performance Test CategoryPurpose / Implied Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance (Summary)
    Biocompatibility TestingTo ensure the device materials (titanium alloy, zirconia, cement) are safe for use in the human body."Biocompatibility testing of final finished devices... according to ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, and ISO 10993-12" was provided. Implied: The device passed these tests.
    Mechanical Testing (ISO 14801)To demonstrate that the abutments, including zirconia and cement, in combination with compatible implants, have sufficient strength for intended use."Mechanical testing conducted according to ISO 14801... to demonstrate that the subject Medentika CAD/CAM Abutments... have sufficient strength for the intended use" was provided. Implied: The device demonstrated sufficient strength.
    Reverse Engineering Dimensional AnalysisFor new OEM compatibilities, to show that the subject device abutments are compatible with the respective OEM implants."Reverse engineering dimensional analysis for the OEM compatibilities... to demonstrate that the subject device abutments are compatible with the respective OEM implants" was provided. Implied: Compatibility was demonstrated.

Implied: Restriction zones prevent damage.
    MR Environment AnalysisTo evaluate device compatibility in a Magnetic Resonance (MR) environment."Non-clinical analysis and testing to evaluate the metallic subject devices and compatible dental implants in the MR environment" was referenced from K180564. Implied: Device is compatible or safe in MR environment.
    Sterilization ValidationTo ensure non-sterile devices can be sterilized by the end-user to a specific sterility assurance level."Moist heat sterilization for subject devices provided non-sterile to the end user, validated to a sterility assurance level of 10-6 by the overkill method according to ISO 17665-1 and ISO TR 17665-2" was referenced. Implied: Sterilization method is effective.

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify numerical sample sizes for any of the non-clinical tests (e.g., how many abutments were mechanically tested, how many software validation tests were run). It simply states that "testing was conducted" or "validation was performed."
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. Given the nature of pre-market non-clinical testing for medical devices, these are typically prospective laboratory tests conducted by the manufacturer or accredited testing facilities.

The document does not explicitly state the results (e.g., "MR Safe" or "MR Compatible"), but implies that the analysis was sufficient to support safety in the MR environment based on the scientific rationale and literature used.

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

    The provided document does not specify the exact sample sizes for each individual non-clinical test (e.g., number of abutments tested for dynamic fatigue, retention force, simulated use, or cleaning). It refers to the testing as "non-clinical" bench testing.

    • Test Set Provenance: The data is generated from bench testing (laboratory studies), not from clinical data involving human patients. Therefore, information like "country of origin of the data" or "retrospective/prospective" is not applicable in the typical sense of clinical trials. The testing was performed in vitro.

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

    This information is not applicable as the studies are non-clinical bench tests. The "ground truth" for these tests is based on established engineering standards (e.g., ISO 14801), biological evaluation standards (ISO 10993), and internal company protocols for mechanical and cleaning validation, not on expert clinical interpretation of patient data.

    4. Adjudication Method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the Test Set

    This information is not applicable as the studies are non-clinical bench tests. Adjudication methods are typically employed in studies involving human interpretation or clinical endpoints to resolve discrepancies in assessment.

    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 was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI-powered diagnostic devices involving human readers/interpreters, which is not the case for this dental implant abutment. The device is a physical component, not a diagnostic AI tool.

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

    A standalone performance study was not done in the context of an algorithm. This question is relevant for AI/software devices; this device is a physical medical device. The "standalone" performance here refers to the device's mechanical and biological performance on its own, which is what the bench tests evaluate.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance evaluations relies on:

    • Established engineering and biological standards: e.g., ISO 14801:2016 for dynamic fatigue, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, ANSI/AAMI/ISO for sterilization.
    • Predetermined acceptance criteria: For retention force, simulated use, and cleaning efficacy, the "ground truth" is defined by specific pass/fail criteria established during the test design based on expected clinical performance and safety.
    • Dimensional accuracy and compatibility models: For compatibility testing, the "ground truth" is established by the dimensions and specifications of OEM implant bodies and abutments.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable because the device is a physical medical component, not a machine learning model or AI algorithm that requires a training set.

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

    This information is not applicable for the same reason as above (not a machine learning model).

    Intended Use

    The LOCATOR Angled Abutment is indicated for the attachment of full or partial, fixed and removable restorations retained by endosseous implants to restore masticatory function for the patient.

    Device Description

    The LOCATOR Angled Abutment consists of various height abutments with identical attachment features compared to LOCATOR Abutments of the LOCATOR Implant Attachment System, cleared in K072878. The LOCATOR Angled Abutment will be used with the accessories of the LOCATOR Implant Attachment System (retention inserts, denture attachment housing, and ancillary processing parts) and LOCATOR FIXED Attachment System (fixed inserts, denture attachment housing) for the attachment of a restoration. The LOCATOR Angled Abutment interfacing features are provided at a 15 degree angle to allow for angle correction, substantially equivalent to the predicate device of K233587. The LOCATOR Angled Abutments are manufactured from titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) and are titanium nitride (TiN) coated, identical to the predicate device.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document (K243272) is a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental device, the LOCATOR Angled Abutment. It is important to note that this document does not describe the performance of software or an AI device. Instead, it describes a mechanical dental implant component and its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicates.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/software performance criteria, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for AI/ML, and training set information are not applicable to this type of medical device submission.

    However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the acceptance criteria (in terms of performance testing for a mechanical device) and how the device meets them:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria (for a mechanical device) and Reported Device Performance:

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Functional Verification (Fit and Performance with OEM Implants)Critical features of OEM implant bodies, abutments, and abutment fixation screws were identified and measured using calibrated equipment. Specifications for the design were created based on this data. All critical tolerances were verified functionally in OEM implants, demonstrating that the abutments fit and perform as intended.
    Fatigue Resistance (ISO 14801:2016)Fatigue testing was performed for the tallest abutment cuff height LOCATOR Angled Abutment with the smallest diameter OEM implant. While no specific numerical acceptance threshold for fatigue cycles is explicitly stated, the implication is that the device met the performance requirements for substantial equivalence to the predicate, which would include passing this test.
    TiN Coating Performance (ASTM F1044, ASTM F1147)The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating performance was tested per ASTM F1044 and ASTM F1147. This indicates that the coating, identical to the predicate device, meets the specified standards for performance.
    Packaging and Shipping ValidationPackaging and shipping validation testing was completed. The LOCATOR Angled Abutment (worst-case device and packaging) was undamaged after the test, meeting the desired outcome.
    Cleaning and Sterilization EfficacyThe cleaning and sterilization methods are identical to the predicate device (K233587), implying they meet established efficacy standards.
    MR Compatibility (ASTM F2052-21, F2213-17, F2182-19, F2119-07 and FDA Guidance)MR compatibility testing (Force, Torque, Heating (RF & Gradient field), Image Quality, Vibration) was previously conducted on similar Ti-6Al-4V components. An engineering analysis established that the LOCATOR Angled Abutment does not create a new worst-case scenario for MR compatibility, thus meeting the criteria based on existing data.
    Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5)Biocompatibility assessment was conducted using testing from K072878 and additional cytotoxicity testing per ISO 10993-5 (cleared under K233587). This indicates the device materials and design are biocompatible and safe for use in the human body.

    Study Details (for a mechanical device):

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

      • Specific quantitative sample sizes for each mechanical test (e.g., number of abutments fatigued, number of coatings tested) are not detailed in this summary.
      • The data provenance is from non-clinical performance testing conducted by the manufacturer, Zest Anchors, LLC. This is typically internal laboratory testing.
      • The nature of the tests (fatigue, coating, packaging, functional fit) indicates this is prospective testing performed specifically to support this regulatory submission. Country of origin for data is not specified but is implicitly from the manufacturer's testing facilities (likely USA, given the submission location).
    2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

      • This question is not applicable as the "ground truth" for a mechanical device is established through objective engineering measurements and standardized performance tests (e.g., ISO, ASTM standards), not by human expert consensus on interpretations. The "experts" involved would be qualified engineers and technicians performing the tests.
    3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

      • Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for establishing ground truth from multiple human readers/experts in AI/medical image analysis. For mechanical device testing, the results are objectively measured and compared against predefined performance specifications.
    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 mechanical dental abutment, not an AI or software product. Therefore, no MRMC study involving human readers and AI assistance was conducted or is relevant.
    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

      • Not applicable. This device is a mechanical abutment, not an algorithm.
    6. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

      • The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on established engineering principles, material science specifications, and adherence to international standards (e.g., ISO 14801, ASTM F1044, ASTM F1147, ISO 10993). Functional fit was verified against OEM implant specifications through direct testing.
    7. The sample size for the training set:

      • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not a machine learning model. There is no "training set."
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

      • Not applicable. As above, no training set exists for this type of device.

    In summary, the provided document explicitly states that the submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the new LOCATOR Angled Abutment variations to existing predicate devices. This is achieved by showing that the new abutments share the same intended use, principles of operation, materials, manufacturing processes, and fundamental design, and they meet the same functional and performance characteristics through non-clinical testing. The "acceptance criteria" here refer to the successful completion and passing of these engineering and material performance tests against established standards.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic, which is an endosseous dental implant abutment. It details the device's technical characteristics and compares it to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence, rather than describing a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria for a new and novel performance claim.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories for acceptance criteria and study details are not directly applicable or available in this type of submission. The information provided primarily focuses on demonstrating equivalence through comparison to existing legally marketed devices, material properties, and standard performance tests for similar devices.

    However, I can extract the relevant information that is available from the document for each type of device within the ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic family: Pre-Milled Blank, Ti Base, Multi-Unit Abutment, Multi-Unit Healing Cap, Multi-Unit Temporary Cylinder, and Multi-Unit Ti-Cylinder.


    General Information on Acceptance Criteria and Studies for ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic (as inferred from the 510(k) Summary):

    The ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic is claiming substantial equivalence to predicate devices, meaning it does not need to establish new performance criteria but rather demonstrate that it is as safe and effective as existing legally marketed devices. The "acceptance criteria" here are largely implied by the performance of the predicate devices and the relevant ISO standards for dental implant abutments. The studies performed are non-clinical bench tests.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Comparison) and Reported Device Performance:

    The document presents comparisons to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence rather than explicit acceptance criteria and corresponding performance metrics for novel claims. However, the design limits of the subject devices are compared to the design limits of the predicate devices, which act as de facto acceptance criteria in the context of substantial equivalence. The device's performance is demonstrated by meeting the standards in non-clinical testing.

    Here's a generalized table summarizing this approach:

Ti Base: Post Angle: 0-15°, Gingival Height: 0.5-5.0 mm, Post Height: 4.0-6.0 mm, Diameter: 5.0-8.0 mm, Thickness: 0.4 mm. These are "slightly different" but within diameter and angle range of predicate. (Page 17) Multi-Unit Abutment: Diameter: 4.8 mm, Gingival Height: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 mm, Angle: 0, 17, 29°.

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

    • Test Set Sample Size:
      • The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for the non-clinical bench tests (fatigue, sterilization, biocompatibility, or dimensional analysis). It only states that tests were performed "for the subject device" and "of the worst-case scenario through fatigue testing."
    • Data Provenance:
      • The 510(k) submission is from ALLONUS Tech Co., LTD. in the REPUBLIC OF KOREA. This implies the testing was likely conducted in or overseen by this entity.
      • The studies were non-clinical bench tests, not clinical studies involving human patients. Therefore, terms like "retrospective" or "prospective" clinical dataProvenance are not applicable here.

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

    • This information is not provided in the 510(k) Summary. For non-clinical bench testing, "ground truth" is typically established by recognized international standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM) and engineering principles, rather than expert consensus on clinical cases.
    • The document mentions "Dimensional analysis and reverse engineering... were performed" and "assessment of maximum and minimum dimensions... along with cross-sectional images." This suggests engineering expertise, but specific numbers or qualifications of experts are not stated.

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

    • This is not applicable as the studies were non-clinical bench tests. Adjudication methods like 2+1 (two readers plus one adjudicator) are used in clinical studies, particularly for diagnostic imaging, to resolve discrepancies in expert interpretations of patient 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:

    • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study (MRMC) is relevant for diagnostic AI devices that assist human interpretation of medical images or data. The ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic is a physical medical device (dental implant abutment), not an AI diagnostic tool.

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

    • No, a standalone (algorithm-only) performance study was not done. This question is also typically relevant for AI/software as a medical device (SaMD). The ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic is a physical device that integrates with human dental procedures.

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

    • For the non-clinical tests (fatigue, sterilization, biocompatibility), the "ground truth" is adherence to recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM) and established engineering specifications.
    • For implant-to-abutment compatibility, the "ground truth" was based on dimensional analysis and reverse engineering of OEM implant bodies, abutments, and screws, comparing the subject device's design to established OEM specifications.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • This is not applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train machine learning algorithms. The ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm.

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

    • This is not applicable as there is no training set for a physical medical device.
