More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a dental alloy and its mechanical properties, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is a gold-based alloy used as a substrate for dental restorations, which is a material used for fabrication rather than a device with a direct therapeutic effect.

No
This device is a gold-based alloy used for fabricating dental restorations, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "high-noble, gold based alloy," 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 fabricating dental restorations using a porcelain-fused-to-metal technique. This is a structural and restorative application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a dental alloy used for creating physical restorations.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the anterior region of the mouth, where dental restorations are placed.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical and physical properties of the alloy for its suitability as a substrate, not on diagnostic accuracy or performance.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a material used to create a physical structure within the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Data has been presented to demonstrate that the mechanical and physical properties of AP-052-5 make it substantially equivalent to the predicate device listed, and therefore it is suitible for use as a substrate for single unit restorations in the anterior region. Biocompatability of AP-052-5 has been assesed according to International Standard ISO 10993-1. The safety and effectiveness of AP-052-5 is therefore determined to be equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Mr. Slanski:

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.
