More Information

No
The summary describes a standard electronic apex locator with Bluetooth capability and does not mention any AI or ML features.

No.
The device is indicated for measurement of root canal length, which is a diagnostic function, not therapeutic.

Yes
The device is indicated for the "measurement of the length of the root canals," which is a form of diagnostic measurement, providing information about the condition or characteristics of the anatomical site.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "dental apex locator" that measures depth by "electronic means" and has "Blue-Tooth Capability." This implies the presence of hardware components for measurement and communication, not just software.

Based on the provided information, the ApexNRG-Blue is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • ApexNRG-Blue Function: The ApexNRG-Blue measures the length of root canals within the patient's mouth during a dental procedure. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "measurement of the length of the root canals and related dental procedures," which is an in-vivo (within the living body) measurement.

Therefore, the ApexNRG-Blue is a medical device used in a clinical setting, but it does not fit the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Characteristics: | With respect to technology and intended use, the Modified MedicNRG-Blue
(Apex Locator) is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices which are
the MedicNRG XFR Electronic Apex Locator & MedicNRG Electronic Apex
Locator. The primary difference is that the modified device provides Blue-
Tooth Capability. 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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
