Intended Use
Intended for use as a varnish on sensitive teeth over exposed dentin under temporary restoratives and cements where post-operative sensitivity is a concern and to improve quality and functionality of restorations when used in conjunction with dental restoratives and cements. To seal dentinal tubules in cavity preparations or on sensitive root surfaces.
Device Description
The modified varnish has the following similarities to that which previously received 510(k) concurrence: - Has the same active ingredient at the same concentration; . - has the same indications for use; . - incorporate the same or similar materials; . - has the same shelf life, and; ● - is packaged using the same materials and processes.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a dental varnish and explicitly states that mentions of AI, DNN, or ML were not found. The device description focuses on material composition and intended use, not computational capabilities.

No
The device is a varnish intended to seal dentinal tubules and improve restorations, not to treat a disease or condition. Its purpose is supportive rather than therapeutic.

No.
The device description indicates its use is for sealing dentinal tubules and improving restorations, acting as a varnish rather than to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a "modified varnish," which is a physical substance applied to teeth, not a software program.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a product applied directly to teeth and dentin to address sensitivity and improve restorations. This is a direct application to the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the composition and properties of a varnish, not on a system designed to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

The device is clearly intended for in vivo use (applied to the living body) rather than in vitro use (performed outside the living body).

Dear Mr. Tentarelli:

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.
