    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the Neodent Implant System - Helix Short Implant System, based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The FDA 510(k) summary does not explicitly present a table of specific numerical acceptance criteria alongside reported performance for each test. Instead, it describes what was tested and states that the results "met the acceptance criteria" or demonstrated "equivalent performance." We can infer the general acceptance criterion from the study descriptions.

    Acceptance Criteria (Inferred)Reported Device Performance
    Mechanical Testing:
    Dynamic Fatigue Test (per ISO 14801): Equivalent fatigue strength to predicate devices.The tested subject devices exhibit a level of performance equivalent to that reviewed for the predicate devices.
    Torsion Test (static torsional loading): Meet acceptance criteria.The results met the acceptance criteria.
    Insertion Test: Evaluate insertion torque in various bone types.Performed to evaluate the insertion torque of the Helix Short System when it is inserted in bones type I, II, III, and IV. (No explicit "met criteria" statement, but implied by successful evaluation).
    Implant Surface Area Simulation and Pull Out Test: Demonstrate acceptable BIC rate and pull out resistance.Results demonstrated that the subject devices, despite having a slightly smaller surface area than the reference devices, presented a higher BIC rate and pull out resistance upon placement. Thus, the subject devices exhibit a level of benchtop performance equivalent to that reviewed for the reference device.
    MR Compatibility Testing:
    Not configure a new worst case compared to reference devices, allow safe scanning under established parameters.An assessment was made to demonstrate that the subject devices do not configure a new worst case and can be represented by the previously conducted studies reviewed for reference devices, since both have the same raw material and similar dimensions. The subject devices are therefore MR conditional devices and a patient treated with the subject devices can be safely scanned observing the parameters previously established per reference devices.
    Surface Treatment:
    Identical or similar chemical processes to predicate/reference devices to achieve roughness.The surface treatments applied to subject devices are identical to these applied and previously evaluated for primary predicate devices. Although some reference devices have a surface with different nomenclature, the chemical processes applied to the surface are similar to create the roughness surface. Acqua implants are submitted to an additional step in order to increase their hydrophilicity, as already cleared for primary predicate device.
    Sterilization Validation:
    Implants (Gamma Irradiation): Minimum Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 1 x 10^-6.A minimum Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 1 x 10^-6 has been validated based on ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2.
    Abutments (Ethylene Oxide): Minimum Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 1 x 10^-6.A minimum Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 1 x 10^-6 has been validated based on ISO 11135-1.
    Endotoxin Testing (LAL):
    Meet pyrogen limit specifications (acceptance criteria for endotoxin levels).Subject devices meet the acceptance criteria for endotoxin levels as well as the primary predicate and reference devices.
    Shelf Life Validation:
    Packaging integrity maintained; established expiration date.The shelf life for devices provided sterile is 5 years, except Helix Short Acqua Implants that have a shelf life of 4 years. The expiration date was determined considering product integrity and packaging tests.
    Biocompatibility:
    No new issues compared to predicate/reference devices.No new issues of biocompatibility are raised for the subject devices when compared to primary predicate and reference devices. Therefore, no additional biocompatibility testing was required.

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

    The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size for the test sets in the mechanical, MR compatibility, or other in-vitro studies. It refers to "tested subject devices" or "representative samples."

    • Data Provenance: The studies described (mechanical testing, MR compatibility, surface treatment, sterilization, endotoxin, shelf life, biocompatibility) are all benchtop/laboratory studies (in vitro). There is no mention of human subject data, animal data, or clinical retrospective/prospective data for these specific performance criteria. The manufacturer is JJGC Indústria e Comércio de Materiais Dentários S.A. (dba Neodent) based in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil.

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

    Not applicable. As these are benchtop/laboratory performance studies, "ground truth" is established by adherence to recognized standards (e.g., ISO 14801, ISO 11137, ISO 11135, ISO 10993) and scientific methods, not by expert consensus in the typical sense for clinical data.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used for interpreting clinical images or patient outcomes, not for objective benchtop performance data against engineering 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

    Not applicable. This device is an endosseous dental implant system, which is a physical medical device, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, MRMC studies involving human readers and AI assistance are not relevant.

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

    Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for the performance claims is based on:

    • Adherence to International Standards: Performance measured against specifications outlined in standards like ISO 14801 (dynamic fatigue), ISO 11137 and ISO 11135 (sterilization), ISO 10993 series (biocompatibility).
    • Benchtop Test Results: Direct measurements and observations from the mechanical, physical, chemical, and biological laboratory tests performed on the device.
    • Comparison to Predicate Devices: Performance is frequently established by demonstrating equivalence or superiority to already legally marketed predicate devices, which serve as a benchmark.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device. The concepts of "training set" and "validation set" are primarily used for machine learning and AI, not for the regulatory approval of physical implants based on benchtop testing.

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

    Not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

    Intended Use

    The Straumann CARES M-Series CAD/CAM System is indicated for the design and fabrication of single or multiple-unit implant-borne prosthetics for the restoration of partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae. The system integrates multiple components of the digital dentistry workflow: scan files from Intra-Oral Scanners or Extra-Oral Scanners, CAD software, CAM software, restoration material blanks, milling machines and associated tooling and accessories. The system is used to design and fabricate CAD/CAM milled coping, crown and bridge restorations to be cemented onto Straumann® Variobase® Abutments, as well as milled abutments to be affixed to the endosseous dental implants of the Straumann® Dental Implant System using a basal screw.

    Device Description

    The Straumann CARES M-Series CAD/CAM System is intended for the design and fabrication of dental restorations by dental laboratories by means of a digital workflow. The workflow is unchanged from the primary predicate K171649. This premarket notification is introducing the Straumann Variobase Abutments for the BLX implant to abutment interface to the previously cleared workflow.

    The Straumann CARES M-Series CAD/CAM System employs optical impression files that document the topographical characteristics of teeth, traditional dental impressions, or stone models. The Straumann CARES Visual CAD software then allows the design of the desired restorations. The CAM software converts the digital restoration design into the tooling and tool path commands needed to fabricate the restoration. The CAM software also allows multiple restoration files to be combined (nested) in order to maximize the use of dental material blanks. The milling command file is encrypted prior to transfer to the M-Series mill; this encryption ensures that files generated using other CAD or CAM software cannot be used with the M-Series mill. The user will load the milling command file into the M-Series mill where it is decoded. The user loads the appropriate dental material blank and initiates the milling operation.

    This premarket notification includes restorations (copings, and bridges) manufactured from Zolid HT/Zolid SHT materials for cementation on Straumann Variobase Abutments for the BLX implant system. The BLX dental implant platforms include RB (Regular Base) and RB/WB (Regular Base/Wide Base). The combination of the coping, crown, or bridge and the Variobase Abutment component make up a two-piece abutment assembly, which is used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants for single or multiple tooth dental prostheses.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's the information about the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Feature/TestAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Dynamic Fatigue Test (Straumann BLX Variobase with Zolid SHT and Zolid HT crowns)Demonstrated equivalence to the primary predicate and reference devices according to FDA guidance document "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff – Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments".The tests demonstrated that the Straumann BLX Variobase with Zolid SHT and Zolid HT crowns are equivalent to the primary predicate and reference devices.
    Milling System ValidationConfirmation that dimensions of milled restoration were the same as the intended CAD design from CARES Visual.Leveraged from K171649, confirming the dimensions of the milled restoration were the same as the intended CAD design from CARES Visual. (Subject devices were not considered a new worst case, so existing validation was referenced).
    Simulated Use ValidationConfirmation of scan, design, and production capability of the subject devices in CARES Visual.Leveraged from K171649, confirming the scan, design, and production capability of the subject devices in CARES Visual. (Subject devices were not considered a new worst case, so existing validation was referenced).
    Sterilization Process ValidationValidation according to applicable recommendations in the FDA guidance document "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling, issued on March 17, 2015".The sterilization process for the Straumann Variobase as recommended in the labeling was validated.

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

    Specific sample sizes for the test set of the dynamic fatigue tests, milling system validation, and simulated use validation are not explicitly stated in the provided document.

    The document mentions that the studies were "leveraged from K171649" (the primary predicate device) and that "the subject devices were not considered a new worst case." This implies that the validation data was likely historical or previously collected for the predicate device.

    Regarding data provenance:

    • Country of Origin: Not specified.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: Not explicitly stated, but "leveraged from K171649" suggests a retrospective application of existing data and validation reports.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The studies mentioned are primarily engineering and performance tests (dynamic fatigue, dimensional accuracy, sterilization efficacy) and do not involve human expert interpretation of device output in a diagnostic or clinical context to establish ground truth.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not applicable as the studies described are performance and engineering validations, not studies involving human interpretation or clinical 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

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance was not mentioned in the document. The device described is a CAD/CAM system for fabricating dental prosthetics, which is a manufacturing process, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive tool that would typically be evaluated with MRMC studies.

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

    The "Milling System Validation" and "Simulated Use Validation" could be considered forms of standalone performance evaluation for the CAD/CAM system's components (software outputs, milling accuracy).

    • Milling System Validation: Confirmed "the dimensions of the milled restoration were the same as the intended CAD design from CARES Visual." This evaluates the algorithm's (CAD/CAM software's) ability to translate digital design into physical form, without human intervention in the final output quality check for the purpose of this specific validation.
    • Simulated Use Validation: Confirmed "the scan, design, and production capability of the subject devices in CARES Visual." This also assesses the system's performance in a simulated workflow.

    The dynamic fatigue tests evaluate the physical product, not directly the algorithm's performance.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Dynamic Fatigue Test: Ground truth is established by the specified FDA guidance document regarding performance requirements for dental implants and abutments. This involves objective physical testing against performance standards.
    • Milling System Validation: The "intended CAD design from CARES Visual" serves as the ground truth against which the milled restoration is compared for dimensional accuracy.
    • Simulated Use Validation: The expected functional capability of the system (scan, design, production) serves as the ground truth.
    • Sterilization Process Validation: The ground truth is adherence to the validated sterilization parameters and expected sterility assurance levels as defined by the FDA guidance document.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not provided in the document. The device is a CAD/CAM system, and while CAD/CAM software development might involve training (e.g., machine learning for design optimization or material properties), the submission focuses on validating the manufacturing process and the final product's performance, not the training of an AI model in the typical sense. The "training set" for the CAD/CAM system would implicitly be the engineering data and design principles embedded in the software.

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

    As above, this information is not provided. If there were any AI/ML components in the CAD/CAM software that involved "training," the method for establishing ground truth for that training is not discussed. For the broader CAD/CAM system's engineering and design, the ground truth would typically be established through established engineering principles, material science, and preclinical testing to ensure precise and functional designs.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) summary for the Straumann® BLX Line Extension - New Abutments is a pre-market notification to the FDA. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices, rather than proving the device meets acceptance criteria through a traditional clinical study with defined performance targets.

    Instead of "acceptance criteria," the focus here is on bench testing performance demonstrating fundamental material and structural integrity compared to predicate devices, and lack of significant differences in technological characteristics and indications for use.

    Therefore, the requested information elements related to clinical studies, test sets, ground truth, and expert adjudication are not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary, as no device-specific clinical data has been submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The submission relies on performance data from bench testing and biocompatibility assessments to support the claim of substantial equivalence.

    Here's the information that can be extracted from the provided text, re-interpreting "acceptance criteria" as the comparable characteristics to predicate devices and "reported device performance" as the results of the bench and biocompatibility tests.


    Acceptance Criteria and Study Details for Straumann® BLX Line Extension - New Abutments

    As this is a 510(k) submission primarily relying on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, the concept of "acceptance criteria" is less about meeting specific numerical performance targets in a clinical setting and more about demonstrating that the new devices do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The study supporting this is primarily bench testing and biocompatibility assessments, rather than a clinical trial.

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

    The "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) are implicitly that the new device's technological characteristics and performance are substantially equivalent to a predicate device, without raising new questions of safety or effectiveness. The "reported device performance" refers to the results of the bench tests and sterility/biocompatibility validations.

    Intended Use

    Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical prosthetic components directly connected to the endosseous dental implants are indicated for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitations. The patient-specific prosthetic restoration (bridge or over-denture) can be cemented on the Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical prosthetic components. A temporary restoration can be used prior to the insertion of the final components to maintain, stabilize and form the soft tissue during the healing phase. Temporary restorations are indicated to be placed out of occlusion. Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical and patient-specific restorations may be placed into occlusion when the implant is fully osseointegrated. All digitally designed Straumann® Variobase® for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical prosthetic components are intended to be sent to Straumann for manufacture at a validated milling center.

    Device Description

    The Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical, see Figure 1 and Table 1, are non-engaging (without rotational lock) abutments made from Ti-6Al-7Nb (TAN) that support a bridge or bar reconstruction (framework or full contour) on two or more dental implants. The corresponding basal screw is delivered with the abutment for connecting the abutment to the implant. A dental laboratory technician designs and manufactures the bridge/bar reconstruction via their preferred workflow using traditional or CAD/CAM methods.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical". It does not describe a study that uses software, AI, or machine learning. Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or multi-reader multi-case studies as these concepts are not applicable to the provided document.

    The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical characteristics and bench testing (dynamic fatigue, software validation, sterilization validation, and biocompatibility testing) for a dental implant abutment. The "Software validation conforming to the requirements of IEC 62304" mentioned in the Performance Data section refers to the validation of software used in the manufacture of the device (specifically, for digitally designed components intended to be sent to a validated milling center), not a clinical performance or diagnostic AI component of the device itself.

    Intended Use

    The software is intended to be used at a dental laboratory. The software uses patient-specific data from scanners, e.g. a scanned geometry, and facilitates the CAD of individual restorative solutions based on these data, such as a supporting dental framework, dental abutments, copings, crowns, and bridges. The software also serves as a means of creating and managing of cases, and the ordering of products.

    Device Description

    NobelDesign (also marketed as DTX Studio design) is an integrated CAD Software in a cockpit application that enables the user to design dental restorations. The software receives and reads scan data containing topographical characteristics of real teeth and dental impressions from extra and intra-oral scanners. The NobelDesign/DTX Studio design software uses the data and it integrates a third-party software used to perform the CAD design of the dental restorations. Using this software, the user can create and track cases, scan models and design prosthetics restorations (excluded implant/abutment interface). The output of the device is a computer file which contains the dental restoration design in a digital form. The dental restoration is manufactured in Nobel Biocare registered facilities using the digital format. Prosthetic restorations (excluding prosthetic restorations with implant/abutment interface or as part of a multi-piece or Ti-base abutment under 872.3630, NHA) can also be designed with the software but can be manufactured in the dental lab, using 510k cleared material for this purpose (872.3770, EBG).

    AI/ML Overview

    This document does not contain the detailed information necessary to complete all sections of your request. It is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (NobelDesign/DTX Studio Design software) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than presenting a detailed performance study with acceptance criteria and results.

    Here's what can be extracted and what is missing:

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The document states that "Design Control Activities including risk management following the ISO 14971:2012 verification/validation testing, was conducted... This documentation includes testing which demonstrates that the requirements for the features have been met." However, it does not specify what those requirements (acceptance criteria) were or the quantitative results of the performance testing.

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

    This information is not explicitly provided for a specific test set. The document mentions "an entire end-to-end validation (scan, design, and order) for multiple worst-case scenario scan and design requirements," but details about the sample size (number of scans, designs, or orders), the nature of the data, or its provenance are absent.

    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)

    This information is not provided in the document.

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

    This information is not provided in the document.

    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

    A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned in this document. This software is a CAD design tool, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.

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

    The document describes the software as enabling "the user to design dental restorations" and facilitating "the CAD of individual restorative solutions." This implies human-in-the-loop operation, as it's a design tool. Therefore, a purely standalone algorithm evaluation would likely not be applicable or relevant to this device's function. The document does not describe a standalone performance study.

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

    The document mentions "an entire end-to-end validation (scan, design, and order)." For CAD design software, "ground truth" would likely relate to the accuracy and precision of the digital designs compared to predefined specifications or validated physical models, and the fidelity of the manufacturing output to the digital design. However, the specific type of "ground truth" or how it was established is not detailed. It's implied that designs are evaluated against "design requirements" and "manufacturing specifications."

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not applicable in the context of this document. The software described is a CAD design tool, not a machine learning model that undergoes "training." Its functionality is based on predefined algorithms for geometric design and integration, not on learning from a large dataset.

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

    This information is not applicable as the document does not describe a training set for machine learning.


    Summary of what is available from the document:

    • Device Name: NobelDesign / DTX Studio Design
    • Device Type: CAD Software for dental restorations (abutments, copings, crowns, bridges)
    • Purpose of Study (as described): Software verification and validation activities conducted under Design Control Activities, following ISO 14971:2012 and FDA Guidance General Principles of Software Validation. This demonstrated that "requirements for the features have been met."
    • Validation Scope: "An entire end-to-end validation (scan, design, and order) for multiple worst-case scenario scan and design requirements."
    • Regulatory Compliance: Conformance with IEC 62304:2006 standards. FDA Guidance "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices Document" (May 2005) guidance was also followed for documentation.

    For a detailed answer to your request, the original 510(k) submission document, particularly the verification and validation reports, would need to be reviewed, as the summary provided here does not contain that level of detail.

    Intended Use

    Straumann® Variobase™ prosthetic components directly connected to the endosseous dental implants are indicated for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitations. The prosthetic restoration (bridge or over-denture) can be cemented on the Straumann® Variobase™ prosthetic components. A temporary restoration can be used prior to the insertion of the final components to maintain, stabilize and form the soft tissue during the healing phase. They may not be placed into occlusion. Final abutments and restorations may be placed into occlusion when the implant is fully osseointegrated.

    Straumann® Variobase® abutments are intended to be placed into Straumann dental implants to provide support for prosthetic reconstructions such as bridges and over-dentures.

    Device Description

    The Straumann Variobase Abutments for Bars & Bridges are non-engaging abutments made from Ti-6Al-7Nb (TAN) that support a bridge or bar reconstruction (framework or full contour) on two or more dental implants. The corresponding basal screw is delivered with the abutment for connecting the abutment to the implant. A dental laboratory technician designs and manufactures the bridge/bar reconstruction via their preferred workflow using traditional or CAD/CAM methods.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Straumann® Variobase® Abutment for Bridges/Bars. It outlines the characteristics of the device and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a specific study proving the device meets those criteria in the typical sense of a diagnostic or clinical performance study.

    Instead, the "study" referred to is a bench study focused on mechanical performance and material characteristics to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than a clinical study evaluating diagnostic accuracy or effectiveness.

    Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, highlighting what is available and what is not:

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

    The document doesn't present explicit "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative, pass/fail table for clinical performance. Instead, it discusses "equivalence" based on various features and a dynamic fatigue test.

    Feature/CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Equivalence)Reported Device Performance
    Indications for UseWithin the scope of the predicate devices."The basic indication of providing support for prostheses is identical. Where the predicate is indicated for both single-unit and multi-unit restorations, the subject devices are only suitable for multi-unit restorations. This limited indication is within the scope of the indication of the predicate devices." (Equivalent)
    Abutment MaterialIdentical to predicate device material (Titanium-Aluminum-Niobium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb))."Titanium-Aluminum-Niobium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb)" (Identical)
    Abutment DiameterWithin the range of predicate device diameters."Subject device diameters are within the range of diameters for the predicate device." (Subject: 4.2 - 7.0 mm, Predicate: 3.8 - 7.0 mm) (Equivalent)
    Abutment HeightSame minimum height as predicate; taller variants' performance addressed via bench testing."The subject devices have the same minimum height as the Variobase predicates. Performance of the taller subject device is addressed via bench testing." (Subject: 3.5 – 5.2 mm, Predicate: 3.5 – 4.5 mm) (Equivalent)
    Abutment Apical DesignMorse taper portion identical to predicate; non-engaging feature for multi-unit restorations."The Morse taper portion of both the subject and Variobase predicate devices are identical. Non-engaging abutments are necessary so as not to introduce mechanical constraints in the framework that would affect fit." (Equivalent)
    Abutment Coronal DesignConic taper within the range established by reference predicates."The conic taper of the subject devices is within the range established by the synOcta and Multibase predicates." (Equivalent)
    Restoration MaterialWithin the scope of materials indicated for the predicate devices."The range of materials cleared for use with the predicate devices is within the scope of materials indicated for the subject devices." (Equivalent)
    Design/Manufacturing WorkflowIdentical to predicate."Identical"
    Mode of AttachmentIdentical to predicate (Screw-retained or cement retained)."Identical"
    ReusableIdentical to predicate (No)."Identical"
    Dynamic FatigueSatisfactorily addressed via bench studies and consistent with FDA guidance and ISO 14801. (Implied: Device must meet or exceed performance of predicate or relevant standards.)"Dynamic fatigue test data consistent with FDA guidance and ISO 14801 have been referenced in support of this submission." This indicates the device passed these structural integrity tests relevant to dental implants and abutments.

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

    The document primarily relies on bench testing for dynamic fatigue. It doesn't specify a sample size for this testing other than "data have been referenced." No information is provided about data provenance ( країни of origin or retrospective/prospective nature) as it's not a clinical data study.

    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)

    This information is not applicable here because the "test set" refers to physical samples for mechanical testing (dynamic fatigue), not a dataset for a diagnostic algorithm where expert ground truth would be established.

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

    This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used for establishing ground truth in clinical or image-based studies, not for mechanical bench testing.

    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 is not applicable. The device is an endosseous dental implant abutment, a physical component, not an AI or diagnostic tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance comparisons are irrelevant.

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

    This is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm.

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

    The "ground truth" in this context is the mechanical performance standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for dynamic fatigue) and the material properties of the device, which are evaluated through bench testing. There is no biological or diagnostic "ground truth" from human subjects involved in this 510(k) submission for mechanical equivalence.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not a machine learning or AI-based device.

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

    This is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

    The document discusses:

    • Device Description: BegoPal+ is a palladium-containing cobalt-chromium alloy for dental restorations.
    • Processing: It's processed by selective laser melting (SLM).
    • Indications for Use: Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) noble alloy for crown and bridge restorations.
    • Predicate Devices: Lists similar alloys (Wirobond C, Wirobond C+, Callisto CP+).
    • Comparison to Predicate Devices: States substantial equivalence based on indications, technical parameters, and biocompatibility, despite differences in product shape, processing, and material composition.
    • Testing: Mentions test results according to ISO 22674, ISO 9693-1, ISO 10271, and ISO 10993 which demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

    Therefore, it is impossible to extract the information you requested from this document as it pertains to a physical material, not a software or AI-driven medical device.

    If you are looking for an example of a 510(k) submission for a software or AI device, you would need a different document.

    Device Description

    This device is a non precious, nickel-chromium-molybdenum-beryllium based alloy.

    AI/ML Overview

    I apologize, but the provided text does not contain the information requested to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA to Aalba Dent, Incorporated for their Continum™ dental alloy. It primarily confirms that the device has been reviewed and determined to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

    The document does not include:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
    2. Details on sample sizes, data provenance, or retrospective/prospective study design.
    3. Information on the number or qualifications of experts used for ground truth.
    4. Adjudication methods.

    Trade/Device Name: Verasoft ES Regulation Number: 872.3710

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    This device is a non precious, nickel-chromium-copper-tin based crown and bridge ("Type III") alloy for use in the construction of cast crown and bridge prosthetic devices. According to 21 CFR Ch.1 (4-1-89 Ed.) Part 872, the classification name for this device is Base Metal Alloy, a Class II device.

    Device Description

    This device is a non precious, nickel-chromium-copper-tin based crown and bridge ("Type III") alloy.

    AI/ML Overview

    I am sorry, but based on the provided document, the information you are requesting about acceptance criteria and a study proving device adherence to such criteria is not available. This document is a 510(k) K033356 clearance letter from the FDA for Verasoft ES, a dental alloy.

    The letter explicitly states:
    "We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices..."

    This indicates that the device was cleared based on its substantial equivalence to an already legally marketed predicate device, as per the 510(k) pathway. This pathway typically relies on demonstrating that a new device is as safe and effective as a predicate device, rather than requiring extensive clinical trials with pre-defined acceptance criteria and studies demonstrating that the device meets those criteria in the same way a Premarket Approval (PMA) application would.

    Therefore, the document does not contain:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
    2. Sample sizes or data provenance for a test set.
    3. Number or qualifications of experts for ground truth.
    4. Adjudication methods.
    5. Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study results.
    6. Standalone algorithm performance.
    7. Type of ground truth used.
    8. Sample size for a training set.
    9. How ground truth for a training set was established.

    The "Indications For Use" section simply defines the device as a "non precious, nickel-chromium-copper-tin based crown and bridge ("Type III") alloy for use in the construction of cast crown and bridge prosthetic devices." This describes the intended use but does not provide specific performance metrics or acceptance criteria as you've outlined.
