The summary describes a dental impression material and its catalyst, focusing on physical properties and clinical performance. There is no mention of AI or ML technology.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a catalyst to induce polymerization for dental impression material, which is used for impressions (inlay, crown and bridge, partial, and edentulous), not for treatment or therapy. It's classified as a Class I medical device for diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic.

No
The device is described as a catalyst used to induce polymerization of a base paste for dental impressions, which is not a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "paste and liquid" and a "catalyst" for a "two component condensation curing silicone dental impression material," indicating it is a physical substance, 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 for taking dental impressions, which is a procedure performed on a patient's body (in vivo) to create a mold of their teeth and surrounding structures. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The device is a catalyst for a dental impression material. This material is used directly in the mouth to create a physical impression.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, diagnostic information, or use in a laboratory setting, which are hallmarks of IVDs.

The device is clearly described as a component of a dental impression material used in dentistry, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment or diagnosis on the patient, not for in vitro analysis of samples.

Summary of Performance Studies

In accordance with the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EWG and national European medical device legislation a medical device is required to be evaluated by the legal medical device manufacturer regarding its clinical performance and safety. This includes an evaluation of biocompatibility in accordance with EN ISO 10993-1.

The biocompatibility of the new D 890/3 Hardener Lniversal Plus prototype was verified in combination with base paste in accordance with the international standard The biocompatibility of D 890/3 Hardener Universal Plus in combination with base paste was documented in a Biological Evaluation Report. The benefit overweights the possible risks with the use of the new hardener.

In addition toxicological expert opinions are carried out to assess possible risks by using D 890/3 as hardener in condensation curing dental silicone impression materials and to evaluate recommendations for appropriate warnings. These risk assessments and recommendations have been taken into account in the instruction for use and in the clinical evaluation.

There are only minor changes of physical properties by using the new D 890/3 activator Hardener Universal Plus instead of the "old" Cuttersil Hardener Universal which do not affect the effectiveness of the medical device adversely. The physical data for the new D 890/3 hardener are in accordance with the functional specification for D 890/3 and the requirements of EN ISO 4823.

Based on the test data the new hardener it can be concluded is effective for taking of detailed dental impressions.

Considering the evaluated data, clinical evaluation and technical results for D 890/3 hardener it is concluded that the product can be expected to exhibit the claimed technica! performance and that potential undesirable clinical effects and risks seem well controlled and acceptable when weighted against their berefits in dentistry. Therefore the expert stated for hardener D B90/3 that the benefits overweight the possible risks if the product is applied according to the instruction for use.

1. Description and intended Use of the Medical Device:

Hardener Universal Plus (Liquid and Paste) (identical with Activator Universal Plus, Liquid and Paste) is the catalyst of the two component condensation curing silicone dental impression material Cuttersil (hardener and base paste and hardener are mixed before use according to the instruction of use.

There is no change in the intended use of the Cuttersil Impression Material because Hardener Universal Plus is a substitute for CutterSil Universal Hardener and the base material remains unchanged. The new D 890/3 hardener has some advantages by comparison with the Cuttersil Hardener Universal:

The odour of the new hardener is less intensive compared with the old hardener. ・

  • The new D 890/3 hardener shows quite similar physical and handling properties in comparison to the old hardener. The new product also fulfils the requirements of EN 150 4823.

2. Indication List:

There is no change in the indications when using the new D 890/3 Hardener Universal Plus instead of the "old" Cuttersil Hardener Universal.
