Intended Use
CHX and CHX-Plus™ are used as a final endodontic rinse after instrumentation to irrigate and cleanse the root canal system for long lasting cleansing
Device Description
CHX and CHX-PlusTM are 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solutions in water. CHX – PlusTM also contains wetting agents to lower surface tension. CHX and CHX-PlusTM are root canal cleansers for use in endodontic procedures. After endodontic instrumentation, these products should be used to cleanse the canal space before placement of the endodontic filling. The material should be delivered into the canal using an irrigating needle

No
The device description and summary of performance studies indicate a chemical solution for root canal cleansing, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is described as a "root canal cleanser" used to "irrigate and cleanse the root canal system." While it plays a role in a medical procedure, its primary function is cleaning rather than directly treating or curing a disease or condition. The term "therapeutic device" usually implies direct treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of a medical condition.

No

The device is described as a root canal cleanser used after instrumentation to irrigate and cleanse the root canal system. It functions as a therapeutic agent for cleaning, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device is a chemical solution (Chlorhexidine Gluconate) intended for irrigation and cleansing, not a software program.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "irrigate and cleanse the root canal system" during endodontic procedures. This is a therapeutic/procedural use within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a solution delivered into the root canal. This aligns with a procedural aid, not a diagnostic reagent or instrument.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition. The purpose is to clean the root canal.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

| Description | CHX and CHX-PlusTM are 2% Chlorhexidine
Gluconate Solutions in water. CHX – PlusTM also
contains wetting agents to lower surface tension. CHX
and CHX-PlusTM are root canal cleansers for use in
endodontic procedures. After endodontic
instrumentation, these products should be used to
cleanse the canal space before placement of the
endodontic filling. The material should be delivered
into the canal using an irrigating needle |
| Indications for Use | CHX and CHX-Plus™ are used as a final endodontic
rinse after instrumentation to irrigate and cleanse the
root canal system for long lasting cleansing |
| Substantial
Equivalence | CHX and CHX-Plus™ are identical to the predicates
since they irrigate and cleanse via the mechanical
action of the solution moving through the root canal
system. |
| | Both CHX-Plus™ and Endo-CHX™ are combination
products containing 2% chlorhexidine digluconate with
surfactant(s). These items are identical in active
ingredient (i.e. 2% chlorhexidine digluconate) and
indications for use. |
| | Both CHX-Plus™ and Consepsis™ are combination
products containing 2% chlorhexidine digluconate and
surface active agents to lower surface tension. CHX-
Plus™ contains surfactants and Consepsis™ contains
ethyl alcohol. |
| | CHX / CHX-Plus™, Endo-CHX™, Consepsis™, and
QMix™ 2inl Endodontic Irrigating Solution are all root
canal cleansers containing chlorhexidine digluconate. |
| | CHX-Plus™, Endo-CHX™, QMix™ 2inl Endodontic
Irrigating Solution, and BioPure™MTAD™ are all root
canal cleansers containing a surfactant to lower
surface tension. |
| Non-clinical
Performance | The performance and biocompatibility data provided
support the safety and effectiveness of CHX and CHX-
Plus™ for the indicated uses. All components found in
CHX and CHX-Plus™ have been used in legally
marketed devices. The efficacy and biocompatibility
was demonstrated via non-clinical studies. |
| Conclusion | CHX and CHX-Plus™, to be manufactured by Inter-
Med Inc., are substantially equivalent to the currently
cleared and marketed predicates and raise no issues
of safety and effectiveness. |

Dear Mr. Baeten:

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.
