The summary describes a heat-curable adhesive and its performance testing against a predicate device, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device is an adhesive used for bonding orthodontic brackets and appliances, not directly for therapy.

No
Explanation: This device is an orthodontic adhesive used for bonding brackets, which is a treatment material, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "heat curable orthodontic adhesive," which is a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Therma-Cure is an orthodontic adhesive used for bonding brackets and appliances within the mouth of a patient.
  • Device Description: It describes an adhesive used for bonding in vivo.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVDs are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such analysis on specimens.

Therefore, Therma-Cure is a medical device used for treatment within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Gange:

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.
