Intended Use
In-Ovation™ C is indicated for orthodontic movement of natural teeth, excluding the mandibular bicuspid teeth.
Device Description
The In-Ovation™ C brackets are bonded to teeth to apply pressure to the tooth, transmitted through a flexible orthodontic wire, to alter the tooth position. The modified orthodontic ceramic bracket has both aesthetic and self-ligating qualities. The modifications were aimed at facilitating easier orthodontic wire placement and removal through self-ligation and enhancing the bonding and debonding characteristics of the bracket.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical orthodontic bracket and its mechanical function, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

Yes
The device is intended for "orthodontic movement of natural teeth," which is a therapeutic purpose to alter tooth position for improved dental health and function.

No
This device is an orthodontic bracket used to move teeth, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is a ceramic bracket that is bonded to teeth, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The In-Ovation™ C is an orthodontic bracket. Its function is to physically move teeth within the mouth. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "orthodontic movement of natural teeth." This is a mechanical function, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the In-Ovation™ C falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Bracket, Ceramic, Orthodontic 21 CFR 872.5470 CLASSIFICATION NAME:

Orthodontic Ceramic Brackets (K042178) PREDICATE DEVICES:

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The In-Ovation™ C brackets are bonded to teeth to apply pressure to the tooth, transmitted through a flexible orthodontic wire, to alter the tooth position. The modified orthodontic ceramic bracket has both aesthetic and self-ligating qualities. The modifications were aimed at facilitating easier orthodontic wire placement and removal through self-ligation and enhancing the bonding and debonding characteristics of the bracket.

INTENDED USE:

The In-Ovation™ C is indicated for orthodontic movement of natural teeth, excluding the mandibular bicuspid teeth.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

The function and performance of the In-Ovation™ C bracket is similar to the predicate. Minor design changes and incorporation of self-ligation are the only modifications made to the Orthodontic Ceramic Brackets (Mystique®) (K042178).

There are no changes in the intended use and fundamental scientific technology. All of the materials used in the device have been used in legally marketed DENTSPLY devices. We believe that the modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate Orthodontic Ceramic Brackets (Mystique®) (K042178).

Dear Ms. Lewis:

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.
