The description focuses on the material composition and fabrication process of a denture framework, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes.
The device is used to restore a patient's chewing function, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as a denture base material that provides reinforcement for prosthetic reconstructions to restore chewing function, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device is a physical kit containing materials (carbon fiber tube, polymer resin, titanium retention wires) used to construct a physical denture framework. It is 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 to provide reinforcement for prosthetic reconstructions (dentures) to restore chewing function in patients. This is a therapeutic or restorative purpose, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is a material used to create a structural framework for a denture. It is fabricated in a laboratory based on a model of the patient's jaw. This process is about creating a physical prosthesis for the patient.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test a sample from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a disease, condition, or state of health.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Carbon Fiber Bridge is indicated for use as a denture base material providing reinforcement of prosthetic reconstructions in the treatment of fully or partially edentulous patients in order to restore the patient's chewing function.

Device Description
The Carbon Fiber Bridge provides an alternative to traditional gold/metal framework in the creation of denture bases. The Carbon Fiber Bridge is sold in the form of a kit and uses carbon fibers infused with a 2-part polymer, which when hardened together becomes the denture frame. The kit contains a carbon fiber tube, the 2-part polymer resin, titanium retention gloves and mask, and instructions for use.
The shape of the carbon fiber bridge is formed using a model of the patient's jaw. Laboratory cylinders and perforating tips are placed in the model. Using a mounting tool, the carbon fiber tube is placed over the perforating tips, piercing the tube and spreading the carbon fibers. Titanium retention wires are then placed in proposed teeth locations, and the framework is polymenzed by heat. After polymenzation, the carbon fiber tube and retention wires are trimmed. The carbon fiber frame is then painted, using standard laboratory materials, to a preferred color as desired by the laboratory and the prosthetic teeth are attached with common dental acrylic materials wrapped around the framework.
The finished prosthetic reconstruction is then ready to be placed in the patient's jaw using existing techniques in the placement of endosseous implants and dentures.

Dear Ms. Mason:
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.
