No
The summary describes a traditional dental prosthetic manufacturing technique (ceramic press) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No.
The device is used to create a porcelain exterior for a dental prosthesis, which is a restorative process, not a therapeutic treatment.

No
The device is described as being "for use in prosthetic dentistry to create the porcelain exterior on a porcelain fused to metal (PFM) dental prosthesis by using ceramic press technique," which indicates it is used for manufacturing/fabrication, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The provided 510(k) summary describes a device used in prosthetic dentistry for creating the porcelain exterior of a dental prosthesis using a ceramic press technique. This process inherently involves physical materials and techniques, indicating a hardware component (the ceramic press technique itself and the materials used). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "to create the porcelain exterior on a porcelain fused to metal (PFM) dental prosthesis by using ceramic press technique." This describes a process for fabricating a dental restoration, which is a medical device used in the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description 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

The device is clearly intended for use in the fabrication of a dental prosthesis, which falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment or restoration, not diagnosis.

§ 872.6660 Porcelain powder for clinical use.

(a)
Identification. Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Ms. Scott:

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.

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 (OS) 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 vour 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. Also, please note the regulation entitled.
