The metallic components of the subject abutments and screws are made of titanium alloy conforming to ISO 5832-3 "Implants for surgery – Metallic materials – Part 3: Wrought titanium 6-aluminium 4-vanadium alloy". The purpose of this submission is to expand IPD Dental Implant Abutments cleared under K240570: . To expand IPD's abutment designs (Multi-unit and Overdenture abutments), as well as to expand the range of angulations available for certain compatible Ti Bases (Interfaces). IPD dental implant abutments and screws are compatible with the following commercially available dental implant systems: (List of compatible implant systems provided in tables). The zirconia superstructures for use with the Ti Base (Interface) are only intended to be designed and manufactured according to digital dentistry workflow system integrates multiple components of the digital dentistry workflow: scan files from intra-oral scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories. Ti Base (Interface) abutments are attached (screw-retained) to the implant and cemented to the zirconia superstructure. The Ti Base is a two-piece abutment composed of the titanium component, as the bottom-half, and the zirconia superstructure, as the top-half. It consists of a pre-manufactured prosthetic component in Titanium alloy per ISO 5832-3, as well as the supporting digital library file for FDA-cleared design software (3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software, cleared under K151455) which enables the design of a patient-specific superstructure by the laboratory/clinician and which will be manufactured in FDA-cleared Zirconia (e.g., DD Bio Z, K142987) according to digital dentistry workflow at the point of care, or at a dental laboratory. The design and fabrication of the zirconia superstructure for Ti Base (Interface) will be conducted using a digital dentistry workflow requiring the use of the following equipment, software and materials: Scanner: 3D Scanner D850.

Note 2: In Table 2 it has been specifically referred to the angulation depending on the dental implant system and platform. The resulting final prosthetic restoration is screwed to the dental implant. All subject abutments are single-use and provided non-sterile. Final restoration (which includes the corresponding screw) is intended to be sterilized at the dental clinic before it is placed in the patient.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a dental implant abutment system, primarily focusing on proving substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. It does not present a study with acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the manner typically expected for AI/Machine Learning (AI/ML) medical devices, or a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.
The "device" in this context is a physical dental implant abutment, not an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML specific criteria (such as training sets, ground truth establishment for AI, human reader improvement with AI assistance, or standalone algorithm performance) are not applicable to this submission.
However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the acceptance criteria and the "study" (bench testing in this case) that proves the device meets those criteria, as described in the provided document.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for IPD Dental Implant Abutments
This submission is for a physical medical device, IPD Dental Implant Abutments, and demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices through a combination of design characteristics and non-clinical performance (bench) testing. The "acceptance criteria" are implied by the standards and guidance associated with dental implants, and the "performance" is demonstrated through compliance with these standards.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
Since this is a physical device and not an AI/ML algorithm, the "acceptance criteria" are derived from relevant ISO standards and FDA guidance for endosseous dental implant abutments. The "reported device performance" is the demonstration of compliance with these standards through specific non-clinical tests.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Standards/Guidance) | Reported Device Performance (Compliance Demonstrated Via) |
|---|---|
| Biocompatibility: Device materials are non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, non-irritating. | Demonstrated via: Cytotoxicity testing (ISO 10993-5), Sensitization (ISO 10993-10), and Irritation (ISO 10993-23) testing. All patient-contacting surfaces were non-cytotoxic. |
| Sterilization Efficacy: Achieves a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 1 x 10^-6. | Demonstrated via: Sterilization validation according to ISO 17665-1. |
| Mechanical Integrity (Static & Dynamic Fatigue): Device withstands expected chewing forces without failure. | Demonstrated via: Static and dynamic fatigue testing of worst-case implant/abutment configurations and combinations in accordance with ISO 14801. |
| Dimensional Compatibility: Abutments are compatible with listed implant systems. | Demonstrated via: Reverse engineering and dimensional analysis of original manufacturer's components (implants, abutments, screws) to confirm compatibility. |
| Digital Workflow Validation: Design and manufacturing of the superstructure are within specified parameters. | Demonstrated via: Validation of the digital workflow and software system. |
| MRI Safety: Safe for use in an MRI environment. | Demonstrated via: Non-clinical worst-case MRI review using scientific rationale and published literature, addressing magnetically induced displacement force and torque. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify exact numerical sample sizes for each bench test conducted (e.g., number of abutments tested for fatigue). It generally refers to "worst-case configurations and combinations" being tested. For biocompatibility, it states "all patient-contacting surfaces" were tested.
- Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical bench tests, not patient data trials. The studies were performed to support a 510(k) submission to the FDA for a device manufactured by IMPLANT PROTESIS DENTAL 2004, S.L., located in Premià de Dalt (Barcelona), Spain. The data is thus internal company testing. It is inherently "prospective" in the sense that the tests were designed and conducted to meet regulatory requirements for this submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable in the context of an AI/ML device. For this physical device, "ground truth" is established by relevant international standards (e.g., ISO 14801, ISO 10993, ISO 17665-1) and internal design specifications, verified through engineering bench tests rather than expert interpretation of images/data for AI. Expertise would come from engineers, material scientists, and quality assurance professionals performing and reviewing the tests. The document does not specify the number or specific qualifications of individuals involved in the execution or review of these bench tests, beyond implying adherence to recognized standards.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically for clinical studies or radiology readings where multiple experts independently review data and discrepancies are resolved. For bench testing of a physical device, the "adjudication" is compliance with predetermined test protocols and acceptance criteria outlined in the relevant ISO standards and internal specifications, often involving quantitative measurements.
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 MRMC study was done, and it is not applicable for this physical device. This type of study is relevant for AI/ML diagnostic or assistive devices, not for dental implant abutments. The submission explicitly states: "No clinical testing was performed, the determination of substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical testing."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This question pertains to AI/ML algorithms. The device is a physical dental implant abutment, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For this physical device, the "ground truth" for performance evaluation is defined by established engineering standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for mechanical fatigue, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility) and validated design specifications, rather than clinical outcomes or expert consensus on clinical data. Compliance with these quantitative and qualitative standards serves as the ground truth.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This question refers to AI/ML models. The "training" for this device would refer to its design and manufacturing processes, not a data set for machine learning.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As above, this pertains to AI/ML models. For a physical medical device, the design is based on engineering principles and regulatory requirements, not a "training set ground truth" in the AI sense. The "ground truth" for design validation comes from international standards, material properties, and biomechanical principles.

All digitally designed abutments for use with ICX-Implant System CAD CAM abutments are intended to be manufactured at a medentis medical GmbH validated milling center.
The purpose of this submission is to obtain marketing clearance for an endosseous dental implant and abutment system. ICX-Implant System, from medentis medical GmbH. The ICX-Implant System includes a range of endosseous dental implants and prosthetic components. All implants have a selftapping apical thread with a tapered body and root-form designs with an internal hex implant/abutment connection. The implant body surface is blasted and acid-etched.
Abutments are available in multiple designs, including straight and angled abutments intended for single tooth and multi-unit restorations.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the "ICX-Implant System." This document is a premarket notification for a medical device and, as such, focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a standalone performance study.
Therefore, the document does not contain the detailed information required to fully answer all aspects of your request, especially regarding specific acceptance criteria for AI/algorithm performance, multi-reader multi-case studies, or detailed ground truth establishment for a test/training set in the context of an AI device.
The document does describe non-clinical performance data for the dental implant system itself (e.g., sterilization, biocompatibility, mechanical testing) to show its safety and effectiveness, but not for an AI component.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, highlighting what is present and what is missing:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
-
Missing: The document does not define "acceptance criteria" in the context of an AI/algorithm's performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, it discusses the substantial equivalence of the ICX-Implant System and its components to predicate devices based on technological characteristics, materials, and indications for use.
-
The "Performance Data" section (Page 7) lists non-clinical tests performed, such as:
- Validation of gamma irradiation sterilization to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶.
- Bacterial endotoxin testing: < 20 EU/device.
- Validation of moist heat sterilization cycle to SAL of 10⁻⁶.
- Shelf life testing confirming seal integrity and sterility after 5 years.
- Biocompatibility testing (in vitro cytotoxicity).
- Characterization of implant surface (SEM, surface chemistry, hydrophilicity).
- Mechanical testing according to ISO 14801 (static and dynamic loading).
- Analysis of surface area and initial bone to implant contact area.
- MR compatibility testing (supporting MR Conditional labeling).
These are performance requirements for a dental implant and are confirmed to have been met, but they are not "acceptance criteria" for an AI algorithm's diagnostic performance.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Missing: No information on test set size or data provenance for an AI/algorithm is provided. The document explicitly states: "No clinical data were included in this submission" (Page 8). The non-clinical tests listed above would have had specific sample sizes for those tests (e.g., number of implants for mechanical testing), but these are not detailed in the summary beyond stating the tests were performed "accordance with" relevant standards.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Missing: Not applicable as no AI/algorithm performance test set is described.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Missing: Not applicable as no AI/algorithm performance test set is described.
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: No MRMC study was done, as no AI component is mentioned.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Missing: No standalone algorithm performance study was done, as no AI component is mentioned.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Missing: Not applicable as no AI/algorithm performance is described. The "ground truth" for the implant itself is its conformance to material standards, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility, as verified by laboratory tests.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Missing: No training set for an AI/algorithm is mentioned.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Missing: No training set for an AI/algorithm is mentioned.
In summary:
This 510(k) pertains to a dental implant system (a physical device) and its components (e.g., abutments), not a software as a medical device (SaMD) or an AI-powered diagnostic/assistance tool. The entire submission is built on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing, legally marketed predicate devices through a comparison of their technological characteristics, materials, and non-clinical performance data relevant to the physical implant and its function. It explicitly states that "No clinical data were included in this submission," further confirming that no human-in-the-loop or standalone diagnostic performance studies (which would be typical for AI/ML devices) were conducted or are required for this type of submission.

This document does not describe a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria as would be found in a clinical trial for a novel AI device with specific performance metrics. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on bench testing and engineering analysis.
Here's an breakdown of the information provided, tailored to your request, but emphasizing that this is not a typical AI/ML performance study:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since this is a 510(k) for dental abutments, the "acceptance criteria" are not reported as specific performance metrics (like sensitivity/specificity for an AI model), but rather as compliance with recognized standards and demonstration of substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The "reported device performance" refers to successful completion of various non-clinical tests.
| Acceptance Criteria (Demonstrated Equivalence/Compliance) | Reported Device Performance (Test Results) |
|---|---|
| Same intended use as predicate device | Intended use is identical |
| Same operating principle as predicate device | Operating principle is identical |
| Similar design and same device categories | Very similar design, same categories |
| Same materials and surface coatings | Identical materials and surface coatings |
| Same sterilization processes | Identical sterilization processes |
| Sterilization validation (SAL of 1 x 10^-6) | Met ISO 17665-1 requirements |
| Biocompatibility: Cytotoxicity | Non-cytotoxic (ISO 10993-5 met) |
| Biocompatibility: Sensitization (TiN coated) | Met ISO 10993-10 requirements |
| Biocompatibility: Irritation (TiN coated) | Met ISO 10993-23 requirements |
| Mechanical compatibility (with OEM implants) | Confirmed by reverse engineering/dimensional analysis |
| Validation of digital workflow and software system | Ensured design/manufacturing within parameters |
| Static and dynamic fatigue testing | Met ISO 14801 requirements (worst-case configurations) |
| MRI safety (magnetically induced displacement force/torque) | Reviewed using scientific rationale and published literature, parameters addressed per FDA Guidance |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of human data or AI model test sets. The "test set" here refers to the physical samples of the IPD Dental Implant Abutments (and their components, potentially in various configurations) that were subjected to the specified bench and biocompatibility tests. The exact number of physical abutments, screws, or zirconia superstructures tested for each specific criterion is not detailed in this summary but would be found in the full test reports.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of country of origin for patient data. The tests were performed on the manufactured device components. The materials are specified (e.g., Titanium alloy conforming to ISO 5832-3).
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. "Ground truth" in this context would generally refer to expert-derived labels for clinical data, which is not part of this 510(k) submission. The "truth" for the performance tests is established by adherence to recognized international standards (e.g., ISO, FDA Guidance) and objective measurements from engineering or biological tests.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1 or 3+1) are used for resolving disagreements among human readers or expert labelers of clinical data, which is not relevant here. The evaluation criteria for the bench tests are objective and defined by established 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
No. This device is a dental implant abutment, not an AI software. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance effect sizes are not relevant to this submission.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No. This is a physical medical device (dental abutments), not a standalone algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by:
- Compliance with international standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for fatigue testing, ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility, ISO 17665-1 for sterilization).
- Engineering specifications and dimensional analysis to ensure compatibility with other specified dental implant systems.
- Validated digital dentistry workflow parameters (e.g., minimum gingival height, wall thickness, post height, angulation for zirconia superstructures), which are based on established dental prosthetic principles.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. No training set is used for this physical device.

The purpose of this submission is to expand the DESS Dental Smart Solutions abutment system by a change in sterilization status to provide products sterile to the end user that were previously cleared to be provided non-sterile. The subject device abutments and abutment screws were cleared previously to be provided non-sterile to the end user in K170588, K191986, K212628, and K22288. All subject device components will now be provided sterile.
The subject device components include Healing Abutments, Multi-Unit Abutments (0, 17°, and 30°), and abutment screws.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the DESS Dental Smart Solutions, an endosseous dental implant abutment. It details the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate and reference devices. However, this document does not contain the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML medical device.
The 510(k) submission for this dental abutment focuses on establishing substantial equivalence based on:
- Design and Material: The subject device components are identical in design, material (Ti-6Al-4V alloy, DLC coating), and technological characteristics to previously cleared devices.
- Manufacturing: The manufacturing process is consistent with previously cleared devices.
- Biocompatibility: Referenced from previous K-clearances.
- Sterilization: The main change in this submission is expanding the system to provide products sterile to the end-user via gamma irradiation, which was validated by referencing a previous K-clearance (K212538).
- MR Environment Testing: Non-clinical analysis was performed to evaluate the subject devices in the MR environment, referencing published literature and FDA guidance.
- Shelf Life Testing: Referenced from a previous K-clearance (K212538) for samples after accelerated aging.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI/ML device meets them based on the provided text, as this document is not about an AI/ML medical device. It's about dental implant abutments and establishes substantial equivalence through non-clinical performance data and comparison to predicate devices, not through AI/ML performance metrics.
To provide the information you requested, I would need a document detailing the validation of an AI/ML medical device, which would include definitions of acceptance criteria (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity), details of training and test datasets, ground truth establishment, and potentially clinical effectiveness studies if applicable.

Abutments provide basis for single or multiple tooth prosthetic restorations. They are available in a variety of connection types to enable compatibility with commercially available dental implants systems. IPD Dental Implant Abutments submission includes the following categories of dental abutment designs: Healing abutments; Temporary abutments; Cementing titanium abutments; Titanium base (interface) abutments; The system also includes the corresponding Titanium Screws intended to attach the prosthesis to the dental implant. All subject abutments and screws are made of titanium alloy conforming to ISO 5832-3 "Implants for surgery – Metallic materials – Part 3: Wrought titanium 6-aluminium 4-vanadium alloy".
I am sorry, but based on the text provided, I cannot fulfill your request. The document describes the FDA's clearance of a dental implant abutment system and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or results of a study (especially a clinical study with elements like sample size, ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, or standalone performance) in the context of typical AI/medical device performance evaluation.
The "Performance Data" section mentions bench testing, sterilization validation, cytotoxicity testing, reverse engineering, dimensional analysis, validation of digital workflow, static and dynamic fatigue testing, and a non-clinical worst-case MRI review. While these are performance tests, they are not presented as typical acceptance criteria for an AI/CADe device's diagnostic performance and the study details (sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, etc.) required by your prompt are absent for these tests.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information as it is not present in the provided text.

The SMARTbase Abutment System is designed to be used in support of a dental implant(s) to provide support for prosthetic restorations in a partially or fully edentulous patient. The SMARTbase Abutment System is intended for use in the mandible or maxilla in support of single or multiple unit restorations.
The SMARTbase Abutment System integrates multiple components for use in both a traditional and digital dentistry workflow: scan files from Intra-oral Scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories. The SMARTbase Abutment System consists of two major parts: the titanium base and zirconia top components make up a two-piece abutment.
- SMARTbase abutment for narrow (3.2mmD) Legacy implants: Indicated for single-tooth replacement of mandbular central and lateral incisors and maxillary lateral incisors.
- SMARTbase abutment for short (8mm) 3.7mmD Legacy implants: Indicated for tooth replacement of mandbular and maxillary central and lateral incisors.
- SMARTbase abutment for narrow diameter (3.2. 3.3mm) InterActive implants: Indicated for single-tooth replacement of mandibular central and lateral incisors and maxillary lateral incisors. Also indicated for multiple tooth replacements or denture stabilization.
The SMARTbase Abutment System is a two-piece engaging and non-engaging dental implant abutment comprised of a titanium base and a zirconia top (which can be supplied with the base or acquired separately by the customer). There are three device lines offered in the SMARTbase Abutment System: Legacy™ SMARTbase Abutment, InterActive™ SMARTbase Abutment, and SMARTbase Cylinder.
The abutments are offered in three widths (narrow, regular, and wide), platform diameters of 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.5mm and 5.7mm for Legacy™ and 3.0mm, 3.4mm for InterActive™, and collar (titanium base) heights of 0.25, 1.0, and 2.0 mm in order to accommodate different patient anatomies. The SMARTbase Cylinder is a two-piece non-engaging dental implant and multi-unit abutment cylinder comprised of a titanium base and a zirconia top (which can be supplied with the base or acquired separately by the customer). The SMARTbase Cylinder is offered in two heights 9.0mm (that can be shortened to 4.0mm) and 4.0mm and in one width, platform diameters and collar (titanium base) height in order to accommodate different patient anatomies.
The subject device is supplied with fixation screws that function as an extension of the implant or multi-unit abutment to which the SMARTbase Abutment or SMARTbase Cylinder is secured and is used with several accessories in digital workflows to fabricate the patient-specific restorations, including scan adapters, implant analogs, and off-axis tools.
The available design options for the zirconia top components to be provided either as a superstructure (to then receive a separate crown or bridge) or hybrid abutment-crown. There are three workflow options for fabricating the zirconia top component which fits the titanium abutment base:
(1) end user creation of a press-ceramic material by conventional wax-up technique,
(2) Implant Direct design and milling of zirconia in stock sizes using ceramic material of ZirCAD Prime (K142233) and provision of same to the end user, and
(3) digital workflow using 3Shape or Exocad software where CAD design and milling of the superstructure or hybrid crown component is done at the end user's dental laboratory/office; the CAD design requires loading of Implant Direct's abutment design library to the 3Shape or Exocad software to design the superstructure or hybrid crown component within the established design limitations and specifications. The digital workflow includes use of the following products (not subject devices of this submission):
- Ceramic material: ZirCAD Prime (K142233) .
- . Cement: Maxcem Elite Self-Etch/Self-Adhesive Resin Cement (K060469)
- . Composite: Kerr Harmonized (K151332)
- Intra oral scanners: Medit Scanner, ITero Scanner Trios Scanner, CareStream . Scanner

This document describes a premarket notification for the "SMARTbase Abutment System," a dental implant abutment. The document focuses on demonstrating that the new device is substantially equivalent to existing predicate devices through various performance tests.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the studies performed, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance results in a single, clear format for each test. Instead, it states that "The test results support that the Subject Device met the performance specifications as intended." and "The difference does not introduce a fundamentally new scientific technology and the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is substantial equivalent."
However, we can infer the types of performance tests and the general acceptance (i.e., compliance) from the "x. Performance Testing Data" section.
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred Standard Compliance) | Reported Device Performance (Implied) |
|---|---|
| Fatigue Resistance (according to ISO 14801 and FDA Guidance Document: "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments") | The device met performance specifications as intended, demonstrating substantial equivalence. |
| Magnetic Resonance Compatibility (according to ASTM F2052, ASTM F2213, ASTM F2119, and ASTM F2182) | The device met performance specifications as intended, demonstrating substantial equivalence. |
| Biocompatibility (according to ISO 10993-1) | The device is biocompatible as per the standard. |
| Steam Sterilization Validation (according to ISO 17665-1) | Sterilization process was validated. |
| Shipping Validation (according to ASTM D4169) | Shipping validation was performed. |
| Software Verification & Validation (Abutment Design Library) (demonstrating use with 3Shape Abutment Designer Software and Exocad AbutmentCAD software) | Demonstrated that design restrictions prevent creation of components outside allowable limitations; established design limitations are locked and unmodifiable. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for each of the performance tests (e.g., number of abutments subjected to fatigue testing).
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. Given that this is a premarket notification for regulatory clearance, the testing would generally be conducted by the manufacturer or a contract research organization on manufactured devices, following established protocols. It is non-clinical testing, meaning it's not performed on patients.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
This question is not applicable as the document describes non-clinical performance testing for a medical device (dental abutment), not studies involving expert evaluation of diagnostic outputs or ground truth for AI algorithms. The "ground truth" here is defined by engineering standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This question is not applicable for the same reasons as #3. Adjudication methods (like 2+1) are typically used for establishing ground truth in clinical or diagnostic studies involving human interpretation or pathology.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
This question is not applicable. The document describes non-clinical performance testing of a physical dental abutment and associated design software. It does not involve human readers, cases, or AI assistance in a diagnostic context.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
For the software component:
- Standalone Performance: Yes, standalone software verification and validation testing was performed for the abutment design library. This testing demonstrated that the software's inherent design restrictions and specifications for creating the top half of the two-piece abutment prevent designs outside allowable limitations and that the design limitations are locked and cannot be modified. This is essentially an "algorithm only" test to ensure the software functions as designed within its specified parameters.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For Physical Device Performance (Fatigue, MR Compatibility, Biocompatibility, Sterilization, Shipping): The ground truth is based on established international and national standards (e.g., ISO 14801, ISO 10993-1, ISO 17665-1, ASTM F2052, ASTM D4169). Compliance with these standards serves as the "ground truth" for acceptable mechanical, safety, and operational performance.
- For Software Verification & Validation: The ground truth is the defined design limitations and specifications established by the manufacturer for the abutment components. The software's ability to enforce these limitations (preventing designs outside them and locking specifications) constitutes meeting this "ground truth."
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This question is not applicable. The device is a physical dental abutment and associated design software. It is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense for learning patterns from data to make predictions or classifications. The "training" for the software is its programmed adherence to design rules and specifications.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This question is not applicable for the same reasons as #8. There is no training set mentioned for an AI/ML model. The software's functional parameters are established through engineering design and specifications.

Here's an analysis of the provided information regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly provide a table of "acceptance criteria" for the overall device. Instead, it details various non-clinical performance tests conducted and indicates that the device met established performance specifications. The "reported device performance" is described through the outcomes of these tests.
However, based on the non-clinical test data section and the comparison table (Table 2), we can infer certain performance aspects that were evaluated against reference points (predicates or standards).
| Characteristic / Test | Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Predicate/Standards) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| End-User Cleaning and Sterilization | In accordance with FDA Guidance: "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling Guidance... issued March 17, 2015" | Validation was conducted and met the guidance specifications. |
| Biocompatibility | In accordance with ISO 10993 | Testing was conducted, and no new issues regarding biocompatibility were raised. |
| Fatigue Testing | In accordance with FDA Guidance: "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments", issued May 12, 2004, and demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate/reference devices. | Testing conducted on the worst-case system demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate and reference devices. |
| Software Verification and End-to-end Workflow Validation | Applicable restrictions are in place and cannot be modified by the user; avoidance of damage or modification of implant-abutment connection geometry during milling; locking of restriction zones from user editing. | Validation was completed, demonstrating that applicable restrictions are in place and cannot be modified by the user, and showing avoidance of damage/modification of connection geometry, and locking of restriction zones. |
| MRI Compatibility | MR Conditional classification (leveraged from K212125). | Demonstrated that the subject device is MR Conditional. |
| Minimum Wall Thickness | Similar to predicate (0.4-0.5mm) and existing reference device #2 (0.3mm). | NP 0.38mm; RP 0.49mm, deemed substantially equivalent as demonstrated by fatigue testing. |
| Minimum Gingiva Height | Similar to predicate (0.5mm) and existing reference device #1 (0.3mm). | 0.335mm, deemed substantially equivalent as demonstrated by fatigue testing. |
| Minimum Diameter | Similar to predicate (3.0-6.0mm) and reference device #1 (2.52-6.0mm). | NP Ø3.21mm; RP Ø3.49mm, deemed similar. |
| Minimum Post Height | Similar to predicate (4mm) and reference device #1 (4mm). | 4.05mm, deemed similar. |
| Maximum Abutment Angulation | Similar to predicate (30°/20°) and reference device #1 (30°). | 30°, deemed identical. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample sizes for each non-clinical test (e.g., number of abutments for fatigue testing, or number of software test cases). It refers to tests being conducted on "the worst-case system" for fatigue testing.
The data provenance is internal testing conducted by the manufacturer, Nobel Biocare AB. The document does not specify a country of origin for the data itself, but the submitter is based in Sweden. These are retrospective tests conducted to support the premarket notification.
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 as the document describes non-clinical engineering and performance testing of a physical and software device, not a diagnostic or AI-driven decision support system requiring expert-established ground truth from patient data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable for the same reason as point 3.
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 study was not done. This device is a component for dental implants and does not involve human readers or AI in the context of comparative effectiveness for diagnostic or interpretive tasks.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This concept is primarily relevant for AI/ML-enabled diagnostic or decision-support software. While the device utilizes CAD/CAM software, the "standalone performance" in this context refers to the software's ability to accurately design and a milling machine's ability to accurately produce the customized abutment according to the design parameters and restrictions. The "Software verification and End-to-end workflow validation" addresses this by demonstrating that the software ensures applicable restrictions are in place and cannot be modified by the user, and that damage to the connection geometry is avoided during milling. It implicitly assesses the algorithm's performance within the manufacturing workflow.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the non-clinical tests described:
- Cleaning and Sterilization: The "ground truth" is adherence to established FDA guidance and validated protocols.
- Biocompatibility: The "ground truth" is compliance with ISO 10993 standards.
- Fatigue Testing: The "ground truth" is compliance with FDA guidance for dental implants and abutments and demonstrated substantial equivalence to the mechanical properties of predicate devices. This involves mechanical testing to failure or for a specified number of cycles under defined loads.
- Software Verification and End-to-end Workflow Validation: The "ground truth" is the established design parameters, manufacturing specifications, and the functionality requirements for the software (e.g., locking restriction zones, avoiding damage to connection geometry). It's based on engineering specifications.
- MRI Compatibility: The "ground truth" is the established MR Conditional specifications from the referenced K212125 clearance.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. This device is a physical medical device manufactured using a CAD/CAM workflow, not an AI/ML system that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. The CAD/CAM software would have been developed and validated through its own software lifecycle, but that is distinct from an AI model training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.
