Indications for Use Statement

Predicate Device K200461, Freeprint® denture

The Subject device Indications for Use Statement (IFUS) is similar to that of the K200461 Predicate device. The device name differs, but that does not impact the indications or intended use of the devices. They both indicate the devices are 3D print resin which is externally cured using different words to express the same intent. The nature of compatible printers and light sources is addressed in labeling and not an inherent or necessary part of

Page 7

the IFUS and does not impact the intended use of the material to be used to fabricate denture bases. The nature of the Subject device material performance is optimized for the partial denture base use, so full dentures are not listed in the Subject device IFUS.

Reference Device K213994, Flexible Block

The Subject device IFUS is similar to that of the K213994 Reference device. The device name differs, but that does not impact the indications or intended use of the devices. The K213994 Reference device is used for both denture bases and orthodontic appliances whereas the Subject device is used for only denture bases. Both IFUS indicate similar indications and intended uses using different words to express the same intent.

Reference Device K232448, Freeprint® splintmaster

The Subject device IFUS is similar to that of the K232448 Reference device. The device name differs, but both devices are intended to fabricate dental objects by means of additive manufacturing. The K232448 Reference device is leveraged for biocompatibility as it has the same patient contact and duration and similar indications as the Subject device.

Technological Characteristics

Predicate Device K200461, Freeprint® denture

The Subject and Predicate devices are highly similar or the same in all Technological Characteristics. The intended use of the Subject device is encompassed within the intended use of the Predicate device. Minor differences in ISO 20795-1 material performance results between the Subject and Predicate devices do not impact safety or effectiveness as these differences are mitigated by comparative bench performance testing with the K213994 Reference device.

Reference Device K213994, Flexible Block

The Subject and K213994 Reference devices are highly similar in Technological Characteristics. Differences in Material Technology, Material, Polymerization Method and Manufacturing Equipment do not change the intended use of the devices to be used in the fabrication of dental objects such as removable dentures. Comparative performance testing between the Subject and K213994 Reference was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Reference Device K232448, Freeprint® splintmaster

The Subject and K232448 Reference devices are similar in Technological Characteristics. They have similar intended uses, namely fabrication of dental objects, but the specific indications for use are different. The Subject and K232448 Reference devices have the same patient contact and duration and share the same/highly similar raw materials and manufacturing process. While the K232447 Reference device material was tested to a different standard (ISO 207950-2), the Subject device was tested to the standard (ISO 20795-1) which covers the intended denture base usage. The K232448 Reference device is leveraged to support Biocompatibility of the Subject device supporting substantial equivalence.

CONCLUSION

Overall, the Indications for Use statements of the Subject device and the K200461 Predicate are similar, differing in specific wording of the device name, with the Subject device intended for a subset of indications covered by the Predicate device.

Overall, the Technological Characteristics of the Subject device are highly similar or the same as the Predicate device. Slight differences in Technological Characteristics between the Subject, Predicate and Reference devices are supported through bench performance testing.
