More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a dental impression material, which is a physical substance, not a software or system that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is a dental impression material used to create molds of teeth and oral structures, not to treat or cure any medical condition.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states that StatusBlue is "indicated for use as a dental impression material" for various types of impressions. This material is used to create a physical mold of a patient's teeth and gums, which is a manufacturing step, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices typically identify diseases, conditions, or provide information for diagnosis, which is not the purpose of an impression material.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "dimensionally stable polyvinyl siloxane material" supplied in "MixStar cartridges," indicating it is a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that StatusBlue is a dental impression material used for creating impressions of teeth and oral structures. This is a physical process for creating a mold, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a material for taking impressions, a physical process.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device (3M/ESPE Dimension Penta impression material) is also a dental impression material, further indicating its non-IVD nature.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Ms. Papineau:

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
