Intended Use
Zirox is a dental ceramic that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate all-ceramic restorations by veneering zirconium oxide (ZrO2) frameworks. The coefficient of thermal expansion [CTE (25-500°C) of these zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) frameworks has to equal approximately 10x10*9K1
Device Description
Zirox® is a dental porcelain system that consists of 127 different ceramic powders. lt is intended to be used by professional dental technicians to manufacture all-ceramic dental appliances for the sole use of particular patients. Zirox® is recommended for veneering zirconium oxide (ZrQ), frameworks, in which it provides an easy to use dental restorative material to fabricate dental restorations with the best possible aesthetic results. The coefficient of thermal expansion [CTE ۾5-500°C] of these zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) frameworks had to be approximately 10 x 10 6 K1. Zirox® meets all applicable requirements of the standard ISO 6872: 1995 "Dental ceramic".

The summary describes a dental ceramic material and its intended use for fabricating restorations. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI or ML.

No
Zirox is a dental ceramic used to fabricate restorations (veneering material), not to treat or diagnose patients.

No

The device description indicates that Zirox is a "dental ceramic" or "dental porcelain system" used by dental technicians to "fabricate all-ceramic restorations" or "manufacture all-ceramic dental appliances." Its purpose is to build dental prosthetics, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a dental porcelain system consisting of ceramic powders, which are physical materials, 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 to fabricate dental restorations by veneering zirconium oxide frameworks. This is a manufacturing process for a medical device (dental restoration), not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The device is a dental porcelain system consisting of ceramic powders used by dental technicians to create dental appliances. This aligns with the description of a material used in the creation of a medical device, not a diagnostic tool.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting diseases, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. Zirox does not fit this description.

Dear Mr. Polzer:

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.

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 (240) 276-0115.
