Intended Use
BioPorta G is a gold-platinum ceramic alloy that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances for patients. It is intended for manufacturing Inlays/ Onlays, Partial crowns, Crowns, Short span bridges, Long span bridges, Removable partials and can be used for Telescopic and milling work. BioPorta G can be veneered with suitable dental ceramics as well as with dentalcomposites.
Device Description
BioPorta G is an extra-hard dental alloy with high contents of gold and platinum (97 %) intended for dental technicians to fabricate dental restorations. It has an indication which ranges from inlays/onlays and crowns up to long span bridges with two or more pontics and to removable partials. It is free of copper and therefore suitable for telescopic and milling work. BioPorta G is highly corrosion resistant and has an excellent biocompatibility. It fully complies to the international standard ISO 9693 and fulfills the essential requirements of the European directive 93/42/ECC concerning medical devices. BioPorta G can be veneered with suitable dental ceramics and with dental composites, in which the golden yellow color of the alloy provides an excellent basis for manufacturing aesthetically pleasing dental restorations.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the material properties and intended uses of a dental alloy, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is a material (gold-platinum ceramic alloy) used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances. It is not an active device that provides therapy itself, but rather a component of a restorative dental appliance.

No

Explanation: The device, BioPorta G, is a dental alloy used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances. It is a material used in the manufacturing process of restorations, not a tool or system used to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device is a dental alloy, which is a physical material used to fabricate dental appliances, not a software program.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to fabricate dental appliances for patients. This is a direct application within the body (or in contact with the body), not for testing samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material properties and its use in creating dental restorations. It doesn't mention any diagnostic function or analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

This device falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a dental material used for restoration. The predicate device listed (K952122 V-Gnathos Plus) is also a dental alloy, further supporting this classification.

Dear Dr. Polzer:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements
