More Information

No
The device is a prophylaxis paste, a physical substance used for cleaning and polishing teeth, and its mechanism of action is chemical (occluding dentinal tubules). There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.
The device is used for cleaning and polishing teeth and for immediate relief of tooth sensitivity, which are not considered therapeutic uses.

No
The device is a prophylaxis paste used for cleaning, polishing, and reducing tooth sensitivity, which are therapeutic and cosmetic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device is a prophylaxis paste, which is a physical substance applied to teeth, not a software program.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for cleaning and polishing teeth during a dental prophylaxis and for relieving tooth sensitivity. This is a direct treatment applied to the patient's oral cavity.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the use as a paste applied during a dental procedure to clean and polish and to reduce sensitivity by occluding dentinal tubules.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVDs are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a therapeutic and prophylactic agent applied directly to the patient.

Device Description

All of the components found in Bulter GUM® Prophylaxis Paste with NovaMin® have been used in the predicate device, or have been found to be safe for dental use. NovaMin® is a sodium-calcium-phosphosilicate particulate that has been shown to physically occlude dentinal tubules in the same manner as the calcium carbonate/arginine complex in the predicate device, ProClude® (K002989). Studies have concluded that NovaMin® is a non-irritant, and non-sensitizer, and is non-toxic.

Dear Dr. Greenspan:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of July 11, 2003.

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.

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.
