The 510(k) summary describes a physical dental reinforcement material and its intended uses, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.
No.
The device is a reinforcement material for dental resins and prostheses, not a device that directly treats a medical condition or disease.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a fiber reinforcement for dental resins and is used to reinforce prostheses and splints. Its purpose is structural reinforcement, not diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a fiber reinforcement made of UHMW polyethylene, which 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 Ribbond-Triaxial is used to provide reinforcement to acrylic or composite resins for dental restorations. This is a structural and mechanical function within the mouth, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device description confirms it's a fiber reinforcement made of UHMW polyethylene, used to strengthen dental resins. This aligns with a material used in dental procedures, not a diagnostic tool.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
The device's function is to provide structural support and reinforcement to dental materials, which falls under the category of a dental restorative or prosthetic material, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Description of Device:
Doseription of Do 1001
Ribbond-Triaxial is a fiber reinforcement used to reinforce dental resins. It is made of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW). The fibers are braided using a triaxial braid and subjected to a plasma treatment to improve its ability to bond to resins.
Intended Use:
Ribbond-Triaxial is intended to provide reinforcement to acrylic or composite resins used for dental restorations. It can be used for the following applications:
As reinforcement in manufacturing and/or repairing full or partial-dentures as well as overdentures, night-guards and orthodontic appliances.
To repair and reinforce resin or composite prostheses including temporary and permanent bonded and removable bridges.
To reinforce splints used to immobilize teeth.
Substantial Equivalency:
Ribbond-Triaxial is substantially equivalent to Ribbond, cleared under K913040 dated October 7, 1991.
Description of new design characteristics
Ribbond-Triaxial is made using a triaxial braid. Ribbond is made using a leno-weave. Tests show that Ribbond-Triaxial has greater load carrying capacity than the leno-weave. The different design characteristics of Ribbond-Triaxial does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and demonstrates that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
Ribbond-Triaxial is made of the UHMW fiber and treated with plasma the same manner as the predicate device. There are no new hazards presented with Ribbond-Triaxial as with the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Driver:
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 (1 rir 1), it in 11 mm of one 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.
