The summary describes a traditional dental impression material and contains no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is used for taking impressions of the oral cavity to construct a gypsum cast, not for treating any condition or disease.
No
Explanation: The device is an impression material used to create a physical copy (gypsum cast) of the oral cavity for constructing various dental models and trays. It does not analyze or interpret medical data to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "dental impression material based on alginate," which is a physical substance, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that Tulip Alginate impression material is used for taking impressions of the oral cavity to create a physical model (gypsum cast). It is a material used in the mouth to create a physical representation, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed (study models, first impressions, situation models, orthodontic impressions) are all related to creating physical models for dental purposes, not for diagnosing or detecting conditions through analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, Tulip Alginate impression material falls under the category of a dental device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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.
