The summary describes a dental impression material and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is described as a dental impression material used for taking impressions of the oral cavity to construct a gypsum cast, which is a diagnostic or modeling purpose, not a therapeutic one.

No.
The device is described as a dental impression material used for taking impressions to construct gypsum casts and models, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is a dental impression material, which is a physical substance, 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 take impressions of the oral cavity to create a physical model (gypsum cast) for dental purposes. This is a mechanical process for creating a physical representation, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: It's described as a dental impression material based on alginate. This is a material used for physical molding.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Woortman:

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.
