More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a dental material (gold alloy) for crowns and bridges, with no mention of software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The intended use describes the device as crowns, bridges, and substrate, which are restorative dental materials, not therapeutic devices.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that Gold Core Plus is "indicated for use as crowns, bridges, substrate for accepting high expansion porcelains," which are restorative or prosthetic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The intended use describes a physical dental restoration (crowns, bridges), which is a hardware device, 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 creating dental crowns and bridges, which are used in the mouth of a patient. IVDs are used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a dental prosthetic material.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting diseases, or providing diagnostic information, which are hallmarks of IVDs.

The device is a material used to fabricate a medical device (dental prosthetics) that is placed in vivo.

21.0 510(K) SUMMARY

JAN 1 3 2003

Gold Core Plus is indicated for use as crowns, bridges, substrate for accepting high expansion porcelains. Gold Core Plus is substantially equivalent to Pentron Laboratory Technologies, LLC., Jewel Cast II, K003039. Gold Core Plus contains the same elements as Jewel Cast II with the exception of one element. However, the addition of this element does not affect safety or effectiveness because it has improved the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Also, Molybdenum has been used successfully in Ni-Cr alloys for over 30 years.

Dear Ms. Tenero:

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.

You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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.
