The summary describes a metallic shape memory alloy archwire and its physical properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
Explanation: The device is an orthodontic archwire used for tooth movement, which is a structural and mechanical correction, not a therapeutic treatment for disease or illness.

No
The device is described as an orthodontic archwire used to aid in the movement of teeth, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "metallic shape memory alloy orthodontic archwire," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "aid in the movement of teeth during the early phase of orthodontic treatment." This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical archwire used to apply force to teeth. It does not involve analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
    • Using reagents or assays.

The device is a medical device used for treatment, specifically in orthodontics.

Summary

Device Description

Hyperelastic Archwire is a metallic shape memory alloy orthodontic archwire for maxillary and mandibular arches. This alloy exerts low constant forces, retains elastic properties at large strains, with low frictional binding properties.

Intended use of the Device

The Hyperelastic Archwire is indicated for use as an orthodontic arch wire to aid in the movement of teeth during the early phase of orthodontic treatment. The Hyperelastic Archwire may be used in conjunction with metallic, ceramic, or plastic brackets.

Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate

Hyperelastic Archwire functions in a manner similar to and is intended for the same use as CuTiNi Archwire which is currently being marketed by Ormco Corporation. Both products are made of similar materials, must be placed and removed by the dental practitioner, and both have equivalent corrosion resistance.

Hyperelastic Archwire differs from the predicate device, CuTiNi Archwire in that the physical and mechanical property testing of Hyperelastic Archwire demonstrates greater superelastic strain recovery, a significant reduction in orthodontic binding friction, significantly less stress hysteresis in tensile loading, and greater fatigue life.

Non-Clinical Performance Data

Biocompatibility studies have been completed, which demonstrate that the material used to produce Hyperelastic Archwire is safe for its intended use.

The 510(k) submission also includes data from bench testing used to evaluate the performance characteristics of Hyperelastic Archwire compared to the predicate device, CuTiNi Archwire. The characteristics evaluated include tensile plateau, tensile hysteresis, flexure hysteresis, binding, hardness, roughness, set angle after 90° bend, elastic recovery and fatigue.

Clinical Testing

Clinical resting has not been conducted on this product.

Conclusion

Based upon the biocompatibility tests and bench testing, the clinical performance of Hyperelastic Archwire is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
