Device Description
Endo-CHX™ is a root canal cleanser for use in endodontic procedures.

More Information

No
The summary describes a chemical cleanser for root canals and does not mention any computational or data-driven components.

No
The device is a root canal cleanser, used for irrigation and cleansing, which supports a procedure but does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition in a therapeutic manner beyond cleansing.

No

This device is described as a "root canal cleanser" used to "irrigate and cleanse root canal systems" and "cleanse the canal space before placement of the endodontic filling." Its function is therapeutic/preparatory, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "root canal cleanser" and a "material" delivered using an "irrigating needle," indicating it is a physical substance and 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 "irrigate and cleanse root canal systems." This is a procedure performed directly on the patient's body (in vivo), not on a sample taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "root canal cleanser for use in endodontic procedures" and is "delivered into the canal using an irrigating needle." This further reinforces its in-vivo application.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely therapeutic/procedural within the body.

Comparison with Predicate Device:

Both Endo-CHX "M and Aquatine" EC irrigate and cleanse via the mechanical action of the solution moving through the root canal system.

Both Endo-CHX™ and BioPure™ MTAD™ are combination products containing a drug component.

Endo-CHX™ is an aqueous solution of 2% chlorhexidine digluconate with surfactant and coloring. Aquatine™ EC is an aqueous hypochlorite solution (hypochlorous acid). BioPure™ MTAD™ is an aqueous doxycycline solution with citric acid and surfactant.

Intended Use:

Endo-CHXTM is intended to irrigate and cleanse root canal systems.

Non-Clinical Testing:

The performance and biocompatibility documentation provided the submission support the safety and effectiveness of the Endo-CHX root canal cleanser for the indicated uses.

Clinical Testing:

Not applicable

Conclusion:

In our opinion, Endo-CHXTM is substantially equivalent to the predicates and raises no issues of safety and effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Goldstein-Falk:

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.

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.
