No
The device description and intended use clearly define the product as a physical fiber reinforcement material for dental restorations. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No.
The device description and intended uses indicate it is a reinforcement material for dental restorations and appliances, not a device that provides therapy for a disease or condition. It is a component used in the fabrication of other dental devices.
No
The device is described as "glass fiber reinforcement materials for composite and acrylic dental restorative materials" and its intended use is for reinforcing various dental restorations and appliances. This points to a restorative or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is a "glass fiber reinforcement materials" which are physical components, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to reinforcing dental restorative materials and appliances used within the patient's mouth (e.g., dentures, crowns, bridges, splints). This is a direct application to the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is described as a reinforcement material for composite and acrylic dental materials. This is a physical component used in the fabrication or repair of dental devices.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device intended for use in vitro (outside the body) for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The provided information does not mention any of these activities. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic information, or being used in a laboratory setting for testing.
Therefore, the device described is a dental material used for reinforcement in vivo (within the body), not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
TESCERA Fiber Bundles, Fiber Mesh, and Fiber Cylinders are glass fiber reinforcement materials for composite and acrylic dental restorative materials. The TESCERA Fiber Bundles are loose fiber bundles. The TESCERA Fiber Mesh is a plain woven mesh. The TESCERA Fiber Cylinders are woven cylinders (sleeves) that come in several diameters. They are designed to be used with the TESCERA indirect composite system but should be effective with other indirect and direct systems

Dear Lichtenwalner:
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.
