The document describes a standard electronic apex locator and does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies.
No.
The device is intended for measurement and diagnostic purposes (measuring root canal length), not for direct treatment or therapy.
Yes
The device is described as an "apex locator" that measures the "length of the root canal," which is a diagnostic measurement performed to inform dental procedures.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "dental apex locator which has the ability to measure the depth of the root canal by electronic means," implying the presence of hardware components for electronic measurement.
Based on the provided information, the ApexNRG XFR is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- ApexNRG XFR Function: The ApexNRG XFR measures the length of the root canal in vivo (within the patient's body) using electronic means. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for measuring the length of the root canal for performing root canals and related dental procedures, which are clinical procedures performed directly on the patient.
Therefore, the ApexNRG XFR falls under the category of a medical device used for a clinical procedure, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ApexNRG XFR is intended for the measurement of the length of the root canal for purposes of performing root canals and related dental procedures, for use by a trained professional in general dentistry.

ApexNRG XFR (Apex Locator) |
| 3. Predicate Device: | MedicNRG Electronic Apex Locator (K032743) |
| 4. Description: | The ApexNRG XFR is a dental apex locator which has the ability to
measure the depth of the root canal by electronic means. |
| 5. Intended Use: | The ApexNRG XFR is intended for the measurement of the length of the
root canal for purposes of performing root canals and related dental
procedures, for use by a trained professional in general dentistry. |
| 6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics: | With respect to technology and intended use, the Modified ApexNRG XFR
(Apex Locator) is substantially equivalent to its predicate device which is the
Original MedicNRG Electronic Apex Locator. The primary differences are
that the modified device provides finer resolution in terms of its LED display
and the electrode connections has been changed. Based upon the testing
results, MedicNRG believes these differences do not raise additional safety
of efficacy concerns. |

Dear Mr. Hattub:
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.
