No
The summary describes a dental alloy, which is a material, not a software-based device. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or performance studies related to algorithmic analysis.

No
The device is described as an alloy for dental restorations (crowns, bridges), which are prosthetics for functional and structural restoration rather than devices intended to treat or cure a disease or medical condition.

No
The intended use describes the device as a dental alloy for restorations, which is a treatment material, not a tool for diagnosis.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a "Bio Universal alloy" intended for dental restorations, which 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 creating dental restorations (crowns, bridges, posts, PFM crowns). This is a dental material used in the mouth of a patient.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.

The description clearly indicates a material used for direct patient treatment, not for testing biological samples in a lab.

Trade/Device Name: BioUniversal Regulation Number: 21 CFR 872.3060 Regulation Name: Gold Based Alloys and Precious Metal Alloys for Clinical Use Regulatory Class: II Product Codes: EJT Dated: January 30, 2003 Received: February 10, 2003

Dear Mr. Gulati:

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.
