More Information

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts, and the device description is for a standard apex locator.

No
The device is used to detect the apex of the root canal, which is a diagnostic function rather than a therapeutic one. It provides information for treatment but does not directly treat the condition.

Yes
The device is used to "detect the apex of root canal," which is a diagnostic function as it involves identifying a specific anatomical landmark relevant to treatment.

No

The description explicitly states "The RCM-7 is a dental device, Apex Locator." Apex locators are typically hardware devices that use electrical impedance to determine the length of a root canal. There is no mention of software being the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, the RCM-7 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The device is described as a "dental device, Apex Locator" used to "detect the apex of root canal." This is a direct measurement of a physical location within the body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its function as an Apex Locator for root canals, again focusing on a physical measurement within the patient.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "root canal," which is part of the patient's anatomy.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment based on sample analysis.

IVDs are devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. The RCM-7's function is to physically locate the apex of a root canal, which is a procedural aid during dental treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

6. DEVICE DESCRIPTION/SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The RCM-7 is a dental device, Apex Locator. It can be used to detect the apex of root canal.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The RCM-7 is substantially equivalent to Root ZX (K921979 / K953867) and the Canal Measurement Module of DP-ZX-VL (K071190).

1) Predicate device I : Root ZX (K921979 / K953867)

The RCM-7 is substantially equivalent to Root ZX from J.MORITA MFG.CORP. The RCM-7 has similar general intended uses, similar principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics to the predicate device Root ZX (K921979 / K953867).

2) Predicate device II : DP-ZX-VL (Device Name: ROOT ZX II) (K071190)

The RCM-7 is substantially equivalent to the Canal Measurement Module of the DP-ZX-VL (K071190) from J.MORITA MFG.CORP. The RCM-7 has similar general intended uses, similar principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics to the predicate device, DP-ZX-VL (K071190).

Although there are minor differences in the characteristics of the RCM-7 and its predicate devices, these differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Barritt:

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 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.
