No
The summary describes a dental etching product and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an etching agent used for dental restorations and bonding, which is a material used in a process rather than a device designed to treat or prevent disease or injury.

No

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section describes the device's use in various dental restorative and bonding procedures, such as composite restorations, adhesive cementation, and fissure sealings. These are treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or analyze a condition.

No

The intended use describes a material (etching gel) used in dental procedures, not a software application. The summary lacks any mention of software components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a product used for dental procedures like etching enamel for composite restorations, cementing various dental prosthetics, bonding orthodontic attachments, and fissure sealings. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient's teeth and involve physical or chemical interaction with the tooth structure.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The "in vitro" part means "in glass" or "in the lab," indicating testing outside of the living organism.

The description of E.TCHING 15 clearly indicates it's used in vivo (within the living body) for dental procedures, not for testing samples in vitro.

Dear Mr. Ingersoll:

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.
