More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a pre-formed material for dental prosthetics and bases equivalence on material properties and intended use, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like image processing or performance studies typical of AI/ML devices.

No
The device, Ceramill Zi blanks, is a material used in the manufacture of dental prosthetics, which are considered medical devices but not therapeutic in nature. The justification explicitly states that no performance studies were required, as it is based on comparisons of formulations, mechanical characteristics, and intended uses of the device to legally marketed predicates and identification of porcelain powders. This indicates it is a material component, not a device that directly treats or prevents a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a pre-formed material used to manufacture dental prosthetics, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "pre-formed material," indicating a physical component, 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 "in the manufacture of dental prosthetics." This is a manufacturing process for a medical device (dental prosthetics), not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
  • Device Description: The device is a "pre-formed material for use by dental laboratories in filling orders/prescriptions for dental prosthetics." This describes a raw material used in a manufacturing process.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Comparison to Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are also materials used in the manufacture of dental prosthetics, not IVDs.
  • Regulatory Identification: The comparison to the "IDENTIFICATION of porcelain powders in 21 CFR 872.6660" further indicates it falls under the category of dental materials, not IVDs.

IVDs are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is a material used to create a prosthetic that will be placed in vivo (inside the body).

§ 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 Mr. Kamm:

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). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
