Intended Use
Intended for use in CAD/CAM technology to produce copings, bridges, and framework core material usage for fixed prosthodontics. Then veneered with porcelain glass to create final restoration.
Device Description
DLMS-Zirblocks is a partially sintered yttria (yttrium oxide) stabilized zirconia (zirconium oxide) powder that is capable of machining by modern methods. The material is designated as TZP (slightly stronger) or TZPA (slightly more translucent). The dentist prepares the tooth surfaces, sends a properly prepared impression of those surfaces to the dental laboratory where it is scanned and an inlay or onlay prepared by modern computerized lathe methods, sintered to full density, and returned to the dentist. The dentist then finally prepares the tooth surfaces involved and cements (lutes) the inlay or only in place with standard dental adhesives (luting) materials. The material is radio-opaque, for ready visualization.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material composition and manufacturing process (CAD/CAM, machining, sintering) of a dental restoration block, with no mention of AI or ML for analysis, design, or any other function.

No.
The device is a material (zirconia powder) used in CAD/CAM technology to create dental restorations like copings, bridges, and frameworks. It is an intermediate product in the manufacturing process of these restorations, which themselves replace or repair damaged teeth. The powder itself does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition, nor does it restore normal function by itself. Its purpose is to be formed into a device that will perform a therapeutic function.

No

This device is a material used to produce dental prosthetics (copings, bridges, framework core material), not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "partially sintered yttria (yttrium oxide) stabilized zirconia (zirconium oxide) powder" which is a physical material, not software. The description focuses on the material properties and manufacturing process of a physical dental restoration component.

Based on the provided information, this device 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.
  • Device Function: The DLMS-Zirblocks are materials used in a CAD/CAM process to create dental prosthetics (copings, bridges, framework core material). They are a physical material that is machined and then placed in the patient's mouth.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Testing: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples from a patient. The process involves preparing a tooth, taking an impression, scanning the impression, machining the material, and then placing the finished product in the mouth.

Therefore, the function and intended use of this device clearly fall outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

§ 872.6660 Porcelain powder for clinical use.

(a)
Identification. Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Date Prepared25 JUL 2008
Trade NameDLMS-Zirblocks
Classification NamePorcelain Powder for Clinical Use
Common NameCAM-Blanks
Predicate DevicesLegally marketed device to which we claim equivalence: Metoxit CAM-Blanks, Metoxit AG, K072569
DescriptionDLMS-Zirblocks is a partially sintered yttria (yttrium oxide) stabilized zirconia (zirconium oxide) powder that is capable of machining by modern methods. The material is designated as TZP (slightly stronger) or TZPA (slightly more translucent).

Technological
CharacteristicsThe technological characteristics between the predicate devices and the proposed device are identical. There is no difference in fundamental technology. They have the same intended use and are made from the same materials.
Substantial
EquivalenceThe product is the exact same material used for the predicate device, the Metoxit CAM-Blanks, and is equivalent in function and intended use to the predicate device.
ConclusionThere are no significant differences between the DLMS-Zirblocks and the predicate device, the Metoxit CAM-Blanks, and therefore, the DLMS-Zirblocks are equally safe and effective

Dear Mr. Atkin:

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.
