The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical and physical properties of a light-cured resin, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No.
The device is used to protect soft tissue during in-office bleaching, which is a protective rather than a therapeutic function.
No
Explanation: The device is a resin used for soft tissue isolation and protection during teeth whitening, which is a treatment or procedural device, not a diagnostic one. It does not identify a disease, condition, or provide a diagnosis.
No
The device is a physical resin material dispensed from a syringe and light-cured, clearly indicating it is a hardware/material-based medical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Niveous Liquid Dam resin is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
- Niveous Liquid Dam's Function: The Niveous Liquid Dam is a resin applied directly to the soft tissue in the mouth to protect it during a dental procedure (teeth bleaching). It does not perform any diagnostic test on a sample taken from the body. Its function is a physical barrier and protection.
Therefore, the Niveous Liquid Dam falls under the category of a dental device used for a therapeutic or protective purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

§ 872.6300 Rubber dam and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A rubber dam and accessories is a device composed of a thin sheet of latex with a hole in the center intended to isolate a tooth from fluids in the mouth during dental procedures, such as filling a cavity preparation. The device is stretched around a tooth by inserting a tooth through a hole in the center. The device includes the rubber dam, rubber dam clamp, rubber dam frame, and forceps for a rubber dam clamp. This classification does not include devices intended for use in preventing transmission of sexually transmitted diseases through oral sex; those devices are classified as condoms in § 884.5300 of this chapter.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 872.9. If the device is not labeled or otherwise represented as sterile, it is exempt from the current good manufacturing practice requirements of the quality system regulation in part 820 of this chapter, with the exception of § 820.180 of this chapter, with respect to general requirements concerning records, and § 820.198 of this chapter, with respect to complaint files.

Kit Components:
Niveous Liquid Dam is a component in the Niveous Professional Tooth Whitening System. The kit consists of the following components:
-
- Syringe containing Niveous Liquid Dam
-
- Bleach Gel Droplet
-
- Booster Brush
-
- Dappen Dish
Biocompatibility
Niveous Liquid Dam is similar in use and formulation to other dental dams that have been on the market for several years. (Interdent Incorporated, FastDam 510(k) K972775, among others) The formulation does not contain any new or non-conventional chemicals; therefore, new biocompatibility testing is unwarranted.
Nonclinical tests that support a determination of substantial equivalence
The chemical composition is comparable to FastDam, 510(k) K972775, and has the same physical and chemical characteristics.
Conclusion
The Niveous Liquid Dam is substantially equivalent to other liquid dam resins such as FastDam 510(k) K972775 and OpalDam 510(k) K971284.
