Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and device performance.

Important Note: The provided document is an FDA 510(k) Premarket Notification letter. This type of document is a submission seeking regulatory clearance, not a standalone study report. As such, it outlines the basis for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which includes non-clinical testing. It does not typically contain detailed acceptance criteria and performance data for a study proving a device meets those criteria in the way a clinical trial report or a comprehensive validation study would.

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating that the new device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, meaning it is as safe and effective. It refers to non-clinical tests that were performed, but does not present the specific acceptance criteria or the numerical results of those tests in a "performance table" format.

Therefore, many of the requested points below cannot be fully extracted from this document, as it's not the type of report that contains that level of detail for acceptance criteria and specific study outcomes. I will highlight what can be inferred or directly stated from the provided text, and what cannot.

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

The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" alongside "reported device performance" in a quantitative manner as one might find in a detailed engineering validation report or a clinical study. Instead, it states that "non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is substantial equivalent."

The document mentions several tests and standards the device was subjected to:

• Packaging system performance testing: per ASTM D4169. (Specific acceptance criteria and reported performance not detailed.)
• Dynamic loading testing: conducted according to ISO 14801 and FDA Guidance Document ("Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments" (May 12, 2004)). (Specific acceptance criteria and reported performance not detailed.)
• Magnetic Resonance compatibility testing: according to ASTM F2052, ASTM F2213, ASTM F2119, and ASTM F2182. Status: "MR Conditional." (This is a performance outcome, but the specific metrics and acceptance thresholds for each ASTM standard are not detailed.)
• Verification of biocompatibility: in accordance with ISO 10993-1. (The conclusion is that "no new issues regarding biocompatibility were raised," implying acceptance, but specific criteria and test results not detailed.)
• End user cleaning and sterilization validation: in accordance with ISO 17665-1. (Implied acceptance, but specific criteria and results not detailed.)

The "acceptance criteria" here are generally referred to as meeting the requirements of the standards and demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The "reported device performance" is summarized as favorable results sufficient for substantial equivalence determination.

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

• Sample sizes: Not specified in the provided text for any of the non-clinical tests mentioned (packaging, dynamic loading, MR compatibility, biocompatibility, sterilization validation).
• Data provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The testing is non-clinical/bench testing, not patient data. It is implied to be internal testing by the manufacturer, Nobel Biocare AB (Sweden).
• Retrospective or prospective: N/A, as these are non-clinical/bench tests, not clinical studies involving patient data.

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

• Applicability: This question is not directly applicable to the type of non-clinical, bench testing described for the NobelProcera® Titanium ASC Abutment and Omnigrip Clinical Screw Titanium. "Ground truth" established by experts (e.g., radiologists for image interpretation) is relevant for AI/ML device evaluations, particularly in diagnostics. This document refers to physical device testing (mechanical, biocompatibility, etc.).

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

• Applicability: Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies or expert reviews to resolve disagreements in interpretations or diagnoses for establishing "ground truth," which is not the nature of the non-clinical tests described here.

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

• Applicability: Not applicable. This device is a dental abutment and screw, not an AI/ML-enabled diagnostic device for image interpretation. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation would have been performed.

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

• Applicability: Not applicable. See point 5. This is a physical medical device, not a standalone algorithm.

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

• Applicability: The concept of "ground truth" as typically applied in AI/ML validation (e.g., for diagnostic accuracy) does not directly apply to the non-clinical device testing described. For these tests, the "ground truth" is typically defined by the specified parameters and performance requirements of the relevant international standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for dynamic loading, ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility). The devices are expected to meet the performance criteria defined by these standards.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Applicability: Not applicable. This refers to the training of an AI/ML algorithm. The document describes a physical medical device.

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

• Applicability: Not applicable. See point 8.

Ask a specific question about this device

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
• Abutment design software: 3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software (K151455) and • Exocad AbutmentCAD Software (K193352)
• . Milling machine: Wieland-Zenotec Select, Zenotec CAM, iCAM V5, and imes icore

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.

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.
