Intended Use
Cleaning, polishing and restoring natural esthetics of tooth enamel.
Device Description
The ß-Powder system is comprised primarily of ßtricalcium phosphate. X-ray diffraction methods were used to identify the crystalline structure. These studies showed that the main constitutent of the device is ßtricalcium phosphate with a small amount of hydroxyapatite, but no other contaminants. Inductively coupled plasma/mass spectroscopy was used for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) analyses, and atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used for mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As). The levels of these harmful elements were below 0.5 ppm
More Information

No
The description focuses solely on the chemical composition and testing of the powder, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is intended for cleaning, polishing, and restoring the natural esthetics of tooth enamel, which does not constitute a therapeutic purpose (treating or preventing a disease).

No

The intended use of the device is "Cleaning, polishing and restoring natural esthetics of tooth enamel," which describes a therapeutic or cosmetic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of ßtricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite, which are physical substances, 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 "Cleaning, polishing and restoring natural esthetics of tooth enamel." This is a direct treatment or cosmetic procedure performed on the tooth itself, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the chemical composition of the powder and its purity, which is relevant for a material applied to the tooth surface. It doesn't describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a dental material or device used for direct application to the tooth, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Device Description

The β-Powder system is comprised primarily of β-tricalcium phosphate. X-ray diffraction methods were used to identify the crystalline structure. These studies showed that the main constitutent of the device is β-tricalcium phosphate with a small amount of hydroxyapatite, but no other contaminants. Inductively coupled plasma/mass spectroscopy was used for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) analyses, and atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used for mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As). The levels of these harmful elements were below 0.5 ppm

§ 872.6080 Airbrush.

(a)
Identification. An airbrush is an AC-powered device intended for use in conjunction with articulation paper. The device uses air-driven particles to roughen the surfaces of dental restorations. Uneven areas of the restorations are then identified by use of articulation paper.(b)
Classification. Class II. The special control for this device is International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC 60601-1-AM2 (1995-03), Amendment 2, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1: General Requirements for Safety.”

  • I. Classification Name and Number: Air Brush (accessory),
  • II. Product name(s):

XIV.

  • II.1 . Common or Usual Name: prophy powder, polishing powder
  • II.2. Proprietary Name: B-Powder
  • III. Registration No: 3005488486
  • Compliance with Performance Standards: No performance standards are applicable. IV. However we followed "Class II Special Controls Guidance: Document: Dental Bone Grafting Material Devices", issued April 28, 2005 where applicable because of the materials content.
  • V. Description of the Device: The ß-Powder system is comprised primarily of ßtricalcium phosphate. X-ray diffraction methods were used to identify the crystalline structure. These studies showed that the main constitutent of the device is ßtricalcium phosphate with a small amount of hydroxyapatite, but no other contaminants. Inductively coupled plasma/mass spectroscopy was used for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) analyses, and atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used for mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As). The levels of these harmful elements were below 0.5 ppm
  • Labels and Labeling: Draft labels of ß-powder, instructions for use, warnings and VI. contraindications are provided.
  • Substantial Equivalence: ß Powder is intended for use as a polishing or prophy VII. powder. This use is the same as that for Clinpro Prophy Powder, cleared in K021450 by 3M Espe Dental Products, and New Prophy Powder, cleared in K014188 by Dentsply, Intl. The materials are the same or similar to those that have been used in commercially marketed products before.

The "510(k) "Substantial Equivalence" Decision-Making Process (Detailed) from ODE Guidance Memorandum #86-3 was followed as described below:

  1. These products have the same intended use as predicate devices, for cleaning, polishing, and restoring the natural esthetics of teeth.

1

  1. The technological characteristics for this product are similar to those of the predicate devices and those currently on the market They are fine powders, relatively inert, biocompatible and previously used for periodontal purposes.

  2. Descriptive information provided shows that the materials from which this device is made are well-established and well understood in the industry and among professional users.

  3. The FDA "Decision-Making Process" chart was used and appears in Appendix V.

Dear Mr. Noake:

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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
