No
The 510(k) summary describes a dental alloy for restorations 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 described as an alloy for dental restorations (inlays, crowns, bridges), which are structural components and not directly therapeutic in function.

No
Explanation: The intended use states the device is a "Bright Gold alloy intended to be used for inlays, single crown and 3 unit anterior bridges," which are restorative dental applications, not diagnostic ones.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a "Bright Gold alloy" intended for dental restorations, 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 for dental restorations (inlays, crowns, bridges). This is a direct application within the body, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on sample analysis.

The device is a material intended for use in dental procedures, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an IVD.

Dear Mr. Gulati:

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 vour 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.
