The KaVo Everest® ZS-Blank is used in the manufacture of dental prosthetics.

Device Description

The KaVo Everest® ZS-Blank is a pre-formed material for use by dental laboratories in filling orders/prescriptions for dental prosthetics

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) submission for the KaVo Everest® ZS-Blank does not include a study or acceptance criteria related to a performance study of the device.

Instead, the submission states:

Performance Data: "None required. The claim of substantial equivalence is based on comparisons of formulations and intended uses of the KaVo devices to legally marketed predicates and to the IDENTIFICATION of porcelain powders in 21 CFR 872.6660."

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and performance data from a study for this specific device. The device's approval was based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, focusing on formulation and intended use, rather than a clinical performance study with specific metrics.

Dear Mr. Kamm:

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.
