No
The summary describes a chemical gel for sulcus retraction and bleeding control, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is described for sulcus retraction, bleeding/gingival oozing control, and facilitating cord insertion, which are procedural aids rather than direct treatment or relief of a disease/condition.

No

The intended use of Racegel™ is for sulcus retraction, control of bleeding and gingival oozing, and facilitating the insertion of gingival retraction cord. These are all therapeutic or preparatory actions, not diagnostic.

No

The device is described as a gel containing aluminium chloride, which is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of Racegel™ is for sulcus retraction, bleeding control, and facilitating gingival retraction cord insertion. These are procedures performed directly on the patient's tissues (gingival sulcus) for therapeutic or procedural purposes.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health status. Racegel™ is not used to analyze a sample.
  • Device Description: The description states it's a gel containing aluminum chloride, which is a topical hemostatic agent and astringent, consistent with its intended use on tissues.

Therefore, Racegel™ is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than IVDs.

Dear Mr. Matelski:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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.
