Intended Use
BLO2X Oxygen Blocker is intended to prevent negative contour in areas where oxygen inhibition of resin polymerization results in premature material loss. Use it before curing composites or luting to prevent the oxygen inhibition layer from forming. BLO2X Oxygen Blocker allows removal of luting resins closer to the final contour before curing, thus eliminating the need to address a large excess of cured composite or luting cement.
Device Description
BLO2X Oxygen Blocker is a clear, glycerin-based gel containing a viscosity-inducing agent, producing a gel with similar viscosity characteristics to the predicate product.

No
The summary describes a glycerin-based gel with a viscosity-inducing agent, intended to prevent oxygen inhibition during dental procedures. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or any other section.

No.
The device's intended use is to prevent the oxygen inhibition layer from forming while curing composites or luting, which facilitates the removal of excess material. This function is related to the mechanical and chemical properties of dental materials and procedures, not directly to treating a disease, injury, or medical condition in a patient.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an "Oxygen Blocker" intended to prevent oxygen inhibition during resin polymerization in dental procedures. Its function is to facilitate the luting process by allowing easier removal of excess resin. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "clear, glycerin-based gel containing a viscosity-inducing agent," indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of BLO2X Oxygen Blocker is to prevent oxygen inhibition during the polymerization of dental resins. This is a physical or chemical process applied to a material (dental resin) outside of the human body, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample to determine a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a glycerin-based gel. This description aligns with a material used in a dental procedure, not a diagnostic reagent or instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring analytes (substances in biological samples)
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.

Therefore, BLO2X Oxygen Blocker is a dental material used in a restorative procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

BLO2X Oxygen Blocker is a clear, viscous, glycerin-based gel designed to prevent oxygen inhibition layer formation on the surface of resin materials when they are polymerized.

The use of BLO2X Oxygen Blocker during the application of the last composite layer is to prevent the oxygen from inhibiting the material's ability to reach final polymerization. The presence of oxygen during this final phase increases the risk of the loss of the final layer of composite material. This may result in a premature material loss of the applied composite material.
