No
The device description focuses on the material composition and intended use of a dental alloy, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No

The device is an alloy used to fabricate dental appliances, not a device that directly provides therapy or treatment to a patient.

No

Explanation: The device is a palladium-base ceramic alloy used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances. It is a material for manufacturing, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a palladium-base ceramic alloy, 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 is to fabricate dental appliances for patients (crowns, bridges, partials, etc.). This is a medical device used in the treatment of patients, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material properties and its use in creating dental restorations. It mentions biocompatibility and compliance with medical device directives, further supporting its classification as a medical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, Simidur S2 is a medical device, specifically a dental alloy used for fabricating restorations, and not 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.

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.
