The device description and intended use clearly define it as a dental brazing alloy (solder), a material used in dental restorations. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
The device is a dental brazing alloy used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances, not to treat or diagnose patients.
No
The device description indicates Porta Optimum Solder 900 is a dental brazing alloy used as a filler material to join dental alloy parts, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a dental brazing 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 join dental ceramic alloy parts to form a dental restoration before firing. This is a manufacturing process for a dental appliance, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "dental brazing alloy" and a "filler material" used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances. This aligns with a material used in the creation of a medical device (the dental restoration), not a diagnostic tool.
- Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status or condition.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely related to the fabrication of a dental prosthesis.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Porta Optimum Solder 900 is intended for use as a solder before firing in operations in which dental ceramic alloy(s) parts are joined to form a dental restoration.
It should be used only together with recommended dental alloys with suitable melting ranges, compositions and coefficients of thermal expansion.

Device Description
Porta Optimum Solder 900 is a dental brazing alloy, that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances for patients. It is a yellow alloy with very high contents of precious metals (Gold, Platinum, Iridium and Silver: 93,8%).
Porta Optimum Solder 900 is suitable for use as a filler material in operations in which dental alloy(s) parts are joined to form a dental restoration, e.g. bridges.
It is intended as solder before firing for dental ceramic alloys with appropriate melting ranges, compositions, and coefficients of thermal expansion, especially Porta Aurium, Porta Maximum, which are manufactured by Wieland Dental + Technik GmbH & Co. KG, Germany.
Porta Optimum Solder 900 is highly corrosion resistant. It fully complies to the international standard ISO 9333 and fulfills the essential requirements of the European directive 93/42/ECC concerning medical devices.

Trade/Device Name: Porta Optimum Solder 900 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 872.3060 Regulation Name: Gold-Based Alloys and Precious Metal Alloys for Clinical Use Regulatory Class: II Product Code: EJT Dated: July 22, 2002 Received: July 26, 2002
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.
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.
