Intended Use
MIRACLE 98 is intended for manufacturing: - Porcelain to metal fabrication of single units
Device Story
MIRACLE 98 is a high noble, micro-fine, yellow, gold-based dental casting alloy. It is used by dental laboratory technicians to manufacture single-unit porcelain-to-metal restorations. The alloy is designed to be used with lower fusing porcelains and indirect restorative composites. It provides the strength, durability, and color of gold while enhancing the esthetics of the final porcelain restoration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing was conducted in accordance with ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693 standards to compare physical and mechanical properties (melting point, hardness, yield strength, elongation, CTE, density) against the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
High noble, micro-fine, yellow, gold-based alloy. Composition: Au 97.60%, Pt 2.1%, In <1.0%, Zn <1.0%. Physical properties: Melting range 1,904-2,015°F, Vickers hardness 45, yield strength 54,000 psi, elongation 50.0%, CTE 15.1 x10-6/°C, density 19.2 g/cm3. Tested per ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the fabrication of single unit porcelain-to-metal dental restorations.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A noble metal alloy is a device composed primarily of noble metals, such as gold, palladium, platinum, or silver, that is intended for use in the fabrication of cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for these devices is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Noble Metal Alloys.” The devices are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9. See § 872.1(e) for availability of guidance information.

## SJMMARY OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Tixst methods applied: as in ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693
Comparison of composition:
#### COMPOSITION (WEIGHT)
| Device Name | Au (%) | Pt (%) | In (%) | Zn (%) |
|---------------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| Jel Bios Pure | 99.30 | <1.0 | <1.0 | <1.0 |
| Ceranum 98 | 97.60 | 2.1 | <1.0 | <1.0 |
#### Comparison of physical and mechanical properties:
| Alloy | Melting Point<br>Range (°F) | Hardness<br>(Vickers) | Yield<br>Strength<br>(psi) | Elongation<br>(%) | CTE<br>(x10-6/°C) | Density<br>(g/cm3) |
|---------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------------|-------------------|-------------------|--------------------|
| Jel Bios Pure | 1,900-2,010 | 50 | 55,000 | 45.0 | 15.3 | 19.2 |
| Miracle 98 | 1,904-2,015 | 45 | 54,000 | 50.0 | 15.1 | 19.2 |
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### Discussion:
Sirice the composition of the legally marketed alloy and the new device is very similar, it may be assumed that the biological compatibility of the alloys is also very similar.
#### Conclusion:
The main elements and their concentration are almost identical. MIRACLE 98 is a High Noble, Micro-fine, Yellow, Gold based alloy to be used for single unit with lower fusing porcelains and indirect restorative composites. MIRACLE 98 is a high gold ceramic alloy, which heightens the porcelain esthetics of the restoration and provides strength, durability and color of gold. Despite minor differences in the materials, we believe that MIRACLE 98 is a substantially equivalent to Heræous Kulzer's "el Bios Pure". These changes do not affect safety or effectiveness.
Statement of indication for use: MIRACLE 98 is intended for manufacturing:

Dear Ms. Chang:
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 marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
