More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The summary describes a dental casting alloy, which is a material, not a software-based device, and there are no mentions of AI or ML.

No
The device is a dental casting alloy used for fabricating restorations, not for directly treating a disease or condition in a therapeutic manner.

No
The device is described as a "Non-Precious Dental Casting Alloy" for fabricating dental restorations, which indicates it is a material used in the creation of a medical device, not a device that performs diagnosis.

No

The device is described as a "Non-Precious Dental Casting Alloy," which is a material used in the fabrication of dental restorations. This is a physical material, 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 fabricating dental restorations, which are devices used in the mouth for structural purposes. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points away from diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, diagnostic purposes, or any of the typical elements associated with IVDs.

Therefore, this device, a Non-Precious Dental Casting Alloy, falls under the category of a dental material used for restorative purposes, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Dr. Chang:

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 vour 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.
