Intended Use
emulate Fast Set and emulate Regular Set are dental impression materials based on alginate. They are suitable for taking impressions of the oral cavity with the purpose of constructing a gypsum model that equals the situation in the mouth. They are used for making study models, first impressions for general purpose impressions, situation models, orthodontic impressions etc.

No
The summary describes a traditional dental impression material (alginate) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No
The device is a dental impression material used for diagnostic purposes (making models) and does not inherently treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is an impression material used to create molds of the oral cavity for constructing gypsum models, not for diagnosing diseases or conditions.

No

The device is described as "dental impression materials based on alginate," which are physical substances, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use of emulate Fast Set and emulate Regular Set is to take impressions of the oral cavity to create a physical model. This is a mechanical process for creating a replica, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • The purpose of an IVD is to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The purpose of these impression materials is to create a physical model for various dental procedures, not to diagnose a condition or provide diagnostic information.

The description clearly indicates the device is a dental impression material used for creating physical models, which falls outside the scope of IVD devices.

Dear Mr. Woortman:

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.

You 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.
