No
The summary describes a standard ultrasonic dental scaler insert and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is used for dental cleaning and the removal of calculus deposits, which are therapeutic actions.

No
The device is described for dental cleaning and removal of calculus deposits, which are therapeutic and preventative functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states "Protégé Ultrasonic Insert Devices," which are physical inserts used in ultrasonic scalers. The intended use also describes the application of a "vibrating tip to the teeth," indicating a hardware component. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "dental cleaning and the removal of tenacious calculus deposits by application of an ultrasonic vibrating tip to the teeth." This is a physical procedure performed directly on the patient's teeth.
  • IVD Definition: IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the analysis of such specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any analysis of biological samples, diagnostic information, or laboratory procedures, which are hallmarks of IVDs.

Therefore, the Protégé Ultrasonic Inserts are medical devices used for a dental procedure, not IVDs.

Dear Dr. Quattrone:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to rnarket 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.
