No
The description focuses on the material composition and mechanical properties of a physical orthodontic wire, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is an orthodontic archwire used to provide force to the teeth to effect movement, which is a therapeutic action.
No
The device description and intended use clearly state that it is an orthodontic archwire used to apply force for teeth movement, which is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical orthodontic archwire made of glass fibers, polymer composite resin, and a polymer coating, which are hardware components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide force to the teeth to effect movement in orthodontic treatment." This describes a physical intervention on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components of an orthodontic archwire, which is a mechanical device used within the mouth.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on sample analysis.
This device is clearly a medical device used for orthodontic treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The SimpliClear Rectangular Orthodontic Wire is a translucent archwire comprised of glass fibers, a polymer composite resin, and a polymer coating. The embedded glass fibers function as the reinforcement, providing the necessary force to straighten teeth. The translucent polymer composite resin serves as the matrix, binding together the individual glass fibers. The outer coating, made of a USP Class VI polycrystalline and amorphous linear polymer, increases the abrasion resistance properties of the wire.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance Testing:
Elastic Modulus: A measurement of an object or substance's tendency to be deformed elastically (i.e., non-permanently) when a force is applied to it. The elastic modulus of an object is defined as the slope of its stress-strain curve in the elastic deformation region. Tested per ASTM D3916-02.
Key Results: At similar wire dimensions, the elastic modulus of the SimpliClear Rectangular Orthodontic Wire is greater than the range established by the Ormco Rectangular Orthodontic Wire made of NiTi and beta-Ti and that of the BioMers Translucent Orthodontic Wire. However, as the Elastic Modulus refers to a material's ability to undergo elastic deformation, in other words the ability of the archwire to deform under an applied load and recover to its original state when the load is removed, the higher values from the SimpliClear Rectangular Orthodontic Wire do not raise safety or effectiveness issues as compared to the predicate devices.
Tensile Strength: The maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled. Tested per ASTM D3916-02.
Key Results: At similar wire dimensions, the tensile strength of the SimpliClear Rectangular Orthodontic Wire is within the range established by the Ormco Rectangular Orthodontic Wire made of NiTi and beta-Ti and that of the BioMers Translucent Orthodontic Wire.
Flexural Strength: Defined as a material's ability to resist deformation under load. Tested per ASTM D790-03.
Key Results: At similar wire dimensions, the flexural strength of the SimpliClear Rectangular Orthodontic Wire is within the range established by the Ormco Rectangular Orthodontic Wire made of NiTi and beta-Ti.
Flexural Modulus: The ratio of stress to strain in flexural deformation, or the tendency for a material to bend. Tested per ASTM D790-03.
Key Results: At similar wire dimensions, the flexural modulus of the SimpliClear Rectangular Orthodontic Wire is within the range established by the Ormco Rectangular Orthodontic Wire made of NiTi and beta-Ti.

VI. Conclusion
There are no known substantial differences in terms of composition and mechanical properties between the SimpliClear Rectangular Orthodontic Wire defined in this 510(k) submission and the BioMers Translucent Orthodontic Wire, and the Ormco Rectangular Wire composed of Nickel Titanium, beta-Titanium, and stainless steel, respectively. The intended uses are comparable and any differences in technological characteristics do not raise issues of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the SimpliClear Rectangular Orthodontic Wire is substantially equivalent to BioMers Translucent Orthodontic Wire and the Ormoo Rectangular Wire.
