More Information

Not Found

No
The device is described as a precious dental casting alloy, which is a material, not a software or system that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The summary also explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

No.
The device is a precious dental casting alloy used to make dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and metal-fused ceramic restorations, which are used to replace or restore teeth. They are not therapeutic in nature as they do not treat or cure any disease.

No
The input describes dental casting alloys used to make dental restorations, which are materials for making devices, not diagnostic tools.

No

The device description clearly states "Gold Dental Casting Alloys," which are physical materials, not software. The intended use also describes the use of these alloys in creating dental restorations, further indicating a physical product.

Based on the provided information, these devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use for all listed devices is to make dental restorations (crowns, bridges, metal fused to ceramic). This is a manufacturing process for a medical device (dental prosthesis), not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The description "Gold Dental Casting Alloys" further reinforces that these are materials used in the creation of dental devices.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information provided does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, these devices are materials used in the fabrication of dental prostheses, which are medical devices, but they are not IVDs themselves.

Re: K033279/S1

Trade/Device Name: Gold Dental Casting Alloys Regulation Number: 21 CFR 872.3060 Regulation Name: Gold-based Alloys and Precious Metal Alloys for Clinical Use Regulatory Class: II Product Code: EJT Dated: January 7, 2004 Received: January 12, 2004

Dear Mr. Oremus:

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 cither 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.

Page 2 - Mr. Oremus

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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
