    Intended Use

    BLT Dental Implant Systems are intended to be placed in the upper and lower jaw to support prosthetic devices and to restore a patient's chewing function. BLT Dental Implant systems are also indicated for immediate or early implantation following extraction or loss of natural teeth. Implants can be placed with immediate function on single-tooth and/or multiple tooth applications when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading to restore chewing function. The prosthetic restorations used are single crowns, bridges and partial or full dentures, which are connected to the implants through the corresponding components (abutments). In cases of fully edentulous patients, 4 or more implants must be used in immediately loaded cases.

    Device Description

    The proposed devices, BLT Dental Implant Systems, are indicated for oral endosteal implantation in the upper and lower jaw and for the functional and esthetic oral rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate patients. The proposed devices can also be used for immediate or early implantation following extraction or loss of natural teeth. The proposed device contains dental implant, healing cap and abutment. The dental implant system is available in two types, NC type and RC type.

    AI/ML Overview

    The request asks for acceptance criteria and details of the study proving these criteria are met. The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a dental implant system. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, primarily through non-clinical testing and comparison of characteristics, rather than a clinical study with detailed acceptance criteria and performance metrics typically found for AI/ML devices. Therefore, much of the requested information (like effect size, ground truth, sample size for training/test sets, expert qualifications, and adjudication methods) is not applicable or unavailable from this document.

    However, I can extract information related to the device's performance based on non-clinical testing and the acceptance criteria implicitly defined by compliance with recognized standards and demonstrated equivalence to the predicate device.

    Here's the summary based on the provided document:

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for Straumann® Screw-Retained Abutments. This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices through comparisons of technological characteristics and performance data, mainly bench testing and biocompatibility assessments. It explicitly states that no device-specific clinical data has been submitted.

    Therefore, the information required to describe acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, especially in the context of an AI/human reader study or performance metrics typical for AI devices (like sensitivity, specificity, AUC), is not present in this document.

    This document describes a traditional medical device (dental implants and abutments) cleared via the 510(k) pathway, which fundamentally relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through novel clinical studies or AI algorithm validation.

    To address the user's request, I must state that the information is not available in the provided document, as it pertains to a different type of device and regulatory submission pathway.

    Specifically, the document states:

    • "No device specific clinical data has been submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence." (Page 12, Section 5.7.4)

    Here's an explanation with respect to the user's request:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not applicable. The submission focuses on substantial equivalence through comparison with predicates, not on meeting predefined performance metrics from a study in the way an AI/software device would. The "performance data" refers to bench testing (dynamic fatigue, static strength, torque) and biocompatibility, which are compared to predicate devices rather than against specific numerical acceptance criteria.

    2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not applicable, as no clinical study (with test sets of patient data) was conducted or submitted. The 'samples' referred to in bench testing are physical abutment components.

    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 clinical data involving human perception (like AI for image analysis) is not relevant here as no such clinical study was performed.

    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-powered device.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an AI-powered device.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable.

    8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI-powered device with a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    In summary: The provided 510(k) summary for Straumann® Screw-Retained Abutments does not contain the type of AI/clinical performance study information requested. The device is a traditional medical device (dental implant components) and its clearance is based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, verified through bench testing and biocompatibility assessments, not through human reader studies or AI algorithm performance evaluations on clinical datasets.

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Straumann® BLX Line Extension - Implants, SRAs and Anatomic Abutments. This submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, rather than performing a de novo study to establish new acceptance criteria. Therefore, the information requested in your prompt (Acceptance Criteria and study design for proving it) is not explicitly present in the provided document in the way one might find it for a novel device undergoing clinical trials.

    However, based on the performance testing section, we can infer some aspects that act as "acceptance criteria" for demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The study conducted is primarily a series of bench tests and validation studies rather than a clinical trial or a study designed to prove new acceptance criteria.

    Here's an attempt to structure the answer based on the provided text, highlighting what is implicitly or explicitly stated about "acceptance" in the context of a 510(k) submission:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Since this is a 510(k) submission demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, explicit "acceptance criteria" as pass/fail thresholds for a novel claim are not presented. Instead, the performance tests aimed to show that the subject device performs equivalently to the predicate devices and meets relevant industry standards. The "performance" column here reflects the outcome of those equivalence demonstrations.

    Acceptance Criterion (Inferred from Equivalence Testing)Reported Device Performance
    Sterilization Validation: Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 in accordance with ISO 11137-1:2006.Validated to SAL of 10-6 using the over kill bioburden method in accordance with ISO 11137-2:2013 for BLX implants and SRAs.
    Shelf Life: Packaging and materials prevent adverse effects over time.Shelf life of 5 years demonstrated as packaging is equivalent to predicate/reference devices, and materials are not adversely affected by time.
    End-User Sterilization (Anatomic Abutments): Validation according to ISO 17665-1 and ISO 17665-2.Recommended sterilization method has been validated for BLX Anatomic Abutments.
    Pyrogenicity: Meets pyrogen limit specifications (e.g., LAL Endotoxin Analysis with testing limit of 20 EU/device).Device meets pyrogen limit specifications as determined by LAL Endotoxin Analysis with a testing limit of 20 EU/device (for blood contacting and implanted devices).
    Biocompatibility: Equivalent to predicate/reference devices per ISO 10993-1:2009 and FDA Guidance.Biological assessment shows the subject devices have equivalent body contact, duration, material formulation, and sterilization methods compared to predicate/reference devices. No new testing performed due to equivalence.
    Dynamic Fatigue & Static Strength: Equivalent to predicate/reference devices as per FDA guidance for root-form endosseous dental implants.Dynamic fatigue and static strength tests were performed on both RB and WB platforms (worst-case considerations) and shown to be equivalent to the reference devices.
    Insertion Torque: Allows for suitable implant insertion torques.Insertion torque tests were conducted on worst-case BLX implants (Ø3.75 mm) and demonstrated that the implants and related cutting instruments allow reaching suitable implant insertion torques.

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

    • Sterilization Validation: The document states that the validation was in accordance with ISO 11137-1:2006 and ISO 11137-2:2013, specifically mentioning the "over kill bioburden method." These standards outline protocols for sample size determination, but the exact sample sizes used for the sterilization validation are not specified in this document.
    • Bench Testing (Dynamic Fatigue, Static Strength, Insertion Torque): The document mentions that "worst-case considerations" were used for testing various platforms (RB and WB) and implant sizes (e.g., Ø3.75 mm for insertion torque). Specific sample sizes for these bench tests are not provided.
    • Data Provenance: All data appears to be prospective bench testing and validation studies conducted by or for the manufacturer (Institut Straumann AG / Straumann USA, LLC). No country of origin for the data is specified beyond it being conducted by the applicant's entity.

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

    This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. The studies described are engineering and materials science tests (sterilization, biocompatibility, mechanical strength), not studies involving human interpretation or clinical outcomes that would require "experts to establish ground truth." The ground truth for these tests is based on established scientific and engineering principles, international standards (ISO), and FDA guidance documents.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    This information is not applicable and not provided. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are relevant for studies that involve human interpretation and potential disagreements, such as image reading studies. The described studies are objective engineering tests.

    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 information is not applicable and not provided. The device is an endosseous dental implant system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool or image analysis software. Therefore, an MRMC study or evaluation of AI assistance is irrelevant to this submission.

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

    This information is not applicable and not provided. As stated above, this is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI system.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    The "ground truth" for the various tests described is derived from:

    • International Standards: e.g., ISO 11137-1, ISO 11137-2, ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2, ISO 10993-1.
    • FDA Guidance Documents: Such as "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff – Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments" and "Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submission for Devices Labeled as Sterile."
    • Engineering Principles: For mechanical testing like fatigue, strength, and torque.
    • Predicate Device Performance: The underlying "ground truth" for a 510(k) submission is that the new device is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices, meaning it performs as safely and effectively without raising new questions of safety or effectiveness.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not applicable and not provided. There is no "training set" as this is not a machine learning or AI-driven device.

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

    This information is not applicable and not provided. There is no "training set" for this device.
