Intended Use
Porta Aurium is a universal gold-based dental 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. Porta Aurium can be veneered with low-fusing dental ceramics with high expansion as well as with dental-composites.
Device Description
Porta Aurium is an extra-hard universal alloy with high contents of noble metals (80,5%), 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. Porta Aurium 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. Porta Aurium can be veneered with low-fusing dental ceramics with high expansion and with dental composites, in which the golden yellow color of the alloy provides an excellent basis for manufacturing aesthetically pleasing dental restorations.

No
The device description and intended use clearly define Porta Aurium as a dental alloy material, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI or ML. The focus is on the material properties and its use in fabricating dental restorations.

No
The device is a dental alloy used to fabricate dental appliances, not to treat or diagnose a disease.

No

The device description clearly states "Porta Aurium is a universal gold-based dental alloy that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances for patients." It is a material for manufacturing dental prosthetics, not a tool or system used to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "universal gold-based dental alloy" and describes its physical properties and intended use in fabricating dental appliances. This indicates it is a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Porta Aurium is a dental alloy used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances for patients. This is a material used in the mouth for restorative purposes.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a dental alloy for fabricating dental restorations.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVDs are devices intended for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. Porta Aurium does not perform any such examination or analysis of bodily specimens.

Therefore, Porta Aurium falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a dental material, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

2

of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. Vou must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
