Intended Use
Meta Etchant is intended for use in dentin/enamel etching to prepare the tooth surface for application of a bonding agent. Nexcomp is intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth. It is indicated for Class I, II, IV, and V restorations, core-buildup to replace missing tooth structure, for splinting and for diastema closure, direct veneers, composite and porcelain repairs.
Device Description
Nexcomp is a highly filled (75 wt.%), light-cured hybrid composite. The material is radiopaque and indicated for all types of cavity preparations. The hybrid blend has an ultra fine filler and 40 nm silica particles. Nexcomp will be marketed in incisal, body translucent, and body opaque shades which correspond with the Vita shade guide. Nexcomp bonds micromechanically and chemically to prepared tooth surfaces, dental primers and bonding resin adhesives through copolymerization of its air-inhibited layer. It's color can be matched with various shades of standard color quides. It is available in tubes which are designed to be fitted into a screw-syringe with a body cap seal. Meta Etchant is a thickened, colored, phosphoric acid semi-gel designed to prepare tooth surfaces (dentin and enamel) for application of a bonding agent, cementation, or restorative materials.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are for dental materials (composite and etchant) and do not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The devices, Nexcomp and Meta Etchant, are used to restore carious lesions and prepare tooth surfaces for bonding, respectively, which are therapeutic interventions aimed at treating dental conditions.

No

Explanation: The device descriptions state that Nexcomp is intended to "restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth" and Meta Etchant is "designed to prepare tooth surfaces... for application of a bonding agent, cementation, or restorative materials." Neither describes a function of identifying or determining the nature or presence of a disease or condition. These are restorative and preparatory materials, not diagnostic tools.

No

The device description clearly describes physical materials (composite and etchant) used in dental procedures, not software.

Based on the provided information, neither Meta Etchant nor Nexcomp are IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) devices.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Meta Etchant and Nexcomp are used directly on the tooth surface within the mouth. They are materials used in dental procedures to prepare and restore teeth.

Their intended use and description clearly indicate they are for direct application to the tooth structure, not for testing samples taken from the body.

Dear Mr. Kim:

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). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
