Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus solely on the material properties (purity of titanium) and its use in manufacturing dental appliances, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as titanium blanks used for manufacturing dental appliances, not for direct therapeutic treatment.

No
Explanation: The device, KaVo Everest Titanblank, is indicated for the "preparation or manufacture of permanent or removable dental appliances," and consists of titanium blanks. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "pure (99.5+%) titanium blanks," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "preparation or manufacture of permanent or removable dental appliances." This is a manufacturing process for medical devices, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "pure (99.5+%) titanium blanks." This is a material used in manufacturing, not a reagent, instrument, or system intended for in vitro diagnosis.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing diagnostic information.

IVDs are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The KaVo Everest Titanblank does not fit this description.

Dear Ms. Pottala:

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. 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 (QS) 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Also, please note the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
