The document describes a traditional dental impression material and its dispensing system, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is an impression material meant to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth, not to treat a disease or condition.
No
The device is an impression material used to reproduce the structure of teeth, which is a step in various dental procedures (e.g., making crowns, bridges). It does not provide information about the presence, absence, or state of a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as "impression materials" which are physical substances used to reproduce the structure of teeth, not software. It also mentions being used with physical mixing and dispensing devices.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth" for "all precision impressions." This is a physical process for creating a mold of teeth, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description clearly states it's an "impression material" used to "reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth." This aligns with a dental impression material, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers of disease, or providing diagnostic information.
IVDs are devices used to perform tests on samples from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Flash VPS Impression Materials are indicated to be used for all precision impressions (of e.g.: crown, bridge, inlay and onlay preparations).

Device Description
Flash materials are classified as impression materials (21 C.F.R. § 872.3660) because they are devices intended to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth.
Flash will be available as wash and tray materials. The wash materials will be available in one viscosity (light-bodied), each of them in a regular set and a super-quick set version. The tray materials will be available in two different viscosities (putty and heavy-bodied) in a regular set and a super-quick set version.
As the predicate devices, Flash materials are two component (base paste/catalyst) vinyl polysiloxane impression materials designed either to be used in 3M Deutschland GmbH's mixing, dosing and dispensing device, Garant™, or to automatically be mixed and dispensed in the Pentamix™ device of 3M Deutschland GmbH.
In this 510(k) premarket notification Flash has been compared to the predicate devices with regard to indications for use, physical and mechanical properties, and chemical composition. The comparison for indications for use, performance data, and chemistry shows that Flash is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Biocompatibility testing was carried out. Biocompatibility assessments were developed for Flash using standard risk assessment techniques and consideration of FDA & internationally recognized guidelines. The conclusion of the assessments is that Flash materials are biocompatible for its intended use.
