No
The device is a dental alloy, and the summary describes its material properties and performance in biocompatibility tests, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
No
Explanation: The device is a dental alloy used for fabricating dental restorations, which is a material used in treatment, not a therapeutic device itself that delivers therapy.
No
Explanation: The device, APOLLO 3 ALLOY, is described as a dental alloy used for fabricating inlays, crowns, and bridges. Its performance studies focus on cytotoxicity and mutagenicity, which are related to material safety for internal use, not diagnostic capabilities for detecting or identifying diseases or conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "yellow, high noble, gold-based dental 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 "Fabricating inlays, crowns and small span bridges." This describes a material used in the creation of dental prosthetics, which are implanted or placed in the mouth.
- Device Description: The device is a "yellow, high noble, gold-based dental alloy." This is a material used in manufacturing.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any such use or interaction with bodily specimens for diagnostic purposes.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned (Cytotoxicity and AMES mutagenicity) are related to the biocompatibility and safety of the material for use in the body, not its diagnostic capabilities.
Therefore, APOLLO 3 ALLOY is a dental material used for fabrication, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Identification. A noble metal alloy is a device composed primarily of noble metals, such as gold, palladium, platinum, or silver, that is intended for use in the fabrication of cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for these devices is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Noble Metal Alloys.” The devices are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9. See § 872.1(e) for availability of guidance information.

TRADE OR PROPRIETARY NAME: APOLLO 3 ALLOY
CLASSIFICATION NAME: Gold-based alloy for clinical use (872.3060)
PREDICATE DEVICES: Degulor M Alloy K951779
DEVICE DESCRIPTION: APOLLO 3 ALLOY is a yellow, high noble, gold-based dental alloy.
INTENDED USE: APOLLO 3 ALLOY is indicated as a dental alloy for fabricating inlays, crowns and small span bridges.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: All of the components found in APOLLO 3 ALLOY have been used in legally marketed devices.
APOLLO 3 ALLOY is very similar in formulation to legally marketed dental alloys. This alloy has been on the European market since 1978 with over 2 million units placed. APOLLO 3 ALLOY was tested for Cytotoxicity and AMES mutagenicity and found to be non-cytotoxic and non-mutagenic. Therefore, it was determined that no further biocompatibility testing was necessary
We believe that the prior use of the components of APOLLO 3 ALLOY in legally marketed devices, the performance data provided, the biocompatibility test results, and the historical use of the device in Europe support the safety and effectiveness of APOLLO 3 ALL.O Y for the indicated uses.

Dear Mr. Lehn:
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.
