No
The summary describes a material intended to occlude dentinal tubules for hypersensitivity relief, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts.

Yes
The device is intended for "rapid and continual relief of hypersensitivity associated with exposed tooth dentin," indicating a therapeutic purpose. The mention of "occluding exposed dentinal tubules" further supports its mechanism of action for treating this condition.

No
The provided text indicates that DenShield™ is a device intended for "the rapid and continual relief of hypersensitivity associated with exposed tooth dentin." Its mechanism of action is described as "occluding exposed dentinal tubules," which is a treatment or therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of identifying, classifying, or determining the presence or nature of a disease or condition.

No

The provided text describes a product intended for the relief of tooth hypersensitivity by occluding dentinal tubules. This description strongly suggests a physical product (like a paste, gel, or other material applied to the teeth) rather than a software-only device. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any other characteristic typically associated with a software medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "rapid and continual relief of hypersensitivity associated with exposed tooth dentin." This describes a therapeutic or treatment function applied directly to the patient's tooth.
  • Mechanism of Action: The description mentions "occluding exposed dentinal tubules," which is a physical action on the tooth structure.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a disease or condition. IVDs are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens.

Therefore, DentShield™ appears to be a dental device intended for direct application to the tooth for therapeutic purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Dr. Greenspan:

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.

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.
