No
The summary describes a ceramic block for dental restorations and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
This device is a material (ceramic block) used to manufacture dental restorations, not a device that directly provides therapy or treatment.

No
The device is described as a material (glass ceramic block) used for manufacturing dental restorations, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical ceramic block used for manufacturing dental restorations, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the manufacture of dental restorations (inlays, onlays, crowns, and veneers) for use in the patient's mouth.
  • Device Description: It's a material used to create physical dental prosthetics.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of this device being used to diagnose a disease or condition, or to examine specimens derived from the human body.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a material used to create a physical restoration for the tooth.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical test data was used to support the devices safety and effectiveness.

NON-CLINICAL TESTING: Fluorcanasite was subjected to the following non-clinical testing:

  • . ISO 6872:2008: Biaxial Flexural Strength, Fracture Toughness and Clinical Solubility;
  • . Vickers Hardness: Thermal Shock, Hardness and Brittleness Index, and Shelf Life;
  • ISO 10993-5: Biocompatibility; and,
  • . XRD and SEM - Crystalline Phase and Microstructural Analysis

with the result that Fluorcanasite performed as well as, or better than, the predicate device.

OTHER INFORMATION DEEMED NECESSARY BY FDA: A sample of dental restorative glass powder was analysed for uranium content. The results of the radiochemical analysis are tabulated on the following, with uncertainties quoted with a coverage factor of k=2, providing a level of confidence of approximately 95%. This work was managed under the NPL LRQA registration to ISO 9001:2000.

Uranium was measured in this sample by initial dissolution in mineral acids, followed by ion exchange separation of uranium. The separated uranium was electrodeposited onto a stainless steel disc, which was then measured using a-particle spectrometry. Standardised 2320 was added as a chemical yield tracer for the analysis.

§ 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.

INTENDED USE: Fluorcanasite is a CAD/CAM machinable glass ceramic block, batched from standard glass-making ingredients which are intended to be used by trained professionals in a dentist's office for the manufacture of all-ceramic inlays, onlays, crowns, and veneers.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Fluorcanasite is a multiple chain-silicate glass-ceramic comprised of sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, calcium fluoride, Loch Aline sand (high purity silica) and zirconia. Its properties display high strength and fracture toughness and the potential as an indirect resin-bonded dental restoration.

CLINICAL TESTING: Non-clinical test data was used to support the devices safety and effectiveness.

NON-CLINICAL TESTING: Fluorcanasite was subjected to the following non-clinical testing:

  • . ISO 6872:2008: Biaxial Flexural Strength, Fracture Toughness and Clinical Solubility;
  • . Vickers Hardness: Thermal Shock, Hardness and Brittleness Index, and Shelf Life;
