Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.9)
“The device is a software-only device, so most testable characteristics common to other device types, including Biocompatibility/Materials, Shelf Life/Sterility, Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety, Magnetic Resonance (MR) Compatibility, are not applicable to this device.”
source quote (p.7)
“Utilizes computer vision neural network algorithms, developed from open-source models using supervised machine learning techniques.”
Validation studies (2)
Standalone
n=2,010 images
endpoints: pathological (Caries, discrepancy at the margin, calculus, and periapical radiolucency) and non-pathologic feature detection performance (Crowns, fillings, rootcanal, bridges, and Implants)
Reader study (MRMC)
n=2,010 images
endpoints: detection accuracy of readers aided by Second Opinion® is superior to the detection accuracy of readers unaided by Second Opinion®
Reported performance (2 observations)
