No
The summary describes a dental restoration system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is a dental restoration system used to create crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as a dental restoration system used to create dental prosthetics (crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers), not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a "dental restoration system" and "all-ceramic dental restoration system" which are inherently hardware-based devices used to create physical dental restorations. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, the Avante® Z device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to create dental restorations (crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers) for patients. This is a medical device used for treatment/restoration within the body, not for testing samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: It's described as an "all-ceramic dental restoration system," which aligns with materials used for dental prosthetics.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, Avante® Z falls under the category of a dental medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Vernak:

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).
