Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a dental cement product called "Sci-Pharm Post Secure." It indicates that the device has been found substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.

Crucially, this document is a regulatory approval letter and does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, study data, or performance metrics for the device. It's a notification of clearance, not a summary of a clinical or performance study.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the provided text. The document states that the FDA "reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device" and "determined the device is substantially equivalent." This determination is based on the information provided by the manufacturer in their 510(k) submission, which would include performance data, but that data itself is not present in this letter.

Dear Ms. Orlowski:

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 of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

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.
