Intended Use
MTA Fillapex is a root canal sealer intended for the permanent sealing of root canals and may be used in combination with root canal obturation materials.
Device Description
MTA Fillapex is a mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and resin root canal sealer used during endodontic treatment to permanently fill the canal system following debridement and disinfection. It consists of two component pastes that are combined in a dual barrel syringe for ease of dispensing and consistent dosage. Being hydrophilic in nature, MTA Fillapex is desirable as a root filling material because an isolated dry field is not necessary for use. Moisture does not negatively affect the sealing ability and is required for proper setting. It is used in combination with gutta-percha or silver points during root canal obturation. The device is provided non-sterile.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material properties and physical characteristics of a root canal sealer, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes.

The device is intended for the "permanent sealing of root canals" and is used "during endodontic treatment to permanently fill the canal system," which are therapeutic actions.

No

The device is a root canal sealer used for the permanent sealing of root canals, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and resin root canal sealer, which are physical materials, 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 for "permanent sealing of root canals," which is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a material used to fill the root canal system within the tooth, again, a direct application to the patient.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing for Diagnosis: The document mentions "in vitro cytotoxicity" testing, but this is a biocompatibility test performed on cells in a lab to assess the material's safety, not a diagnostic test performed on patient samples to determine a medical condition.
  • No Mention of Analyzing Samples: IVDs are designed to analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform such analysis.

Therefore, MTA Fillapex is a medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device used for diagnosis.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Biocompatibility data were provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Side-by-side cytotoxicity testing (conforming to ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity) was performed that compared the subject device with predicates.

Performance testing that conformed to the protocols and recommended values described in ISO 6876 Dental root canal sealing materials was performed. Test reports included flow, working time, setting time, film thickness, dimensional change, solubility and radiopacity.

Dear Ms. Schulz:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
