No
The description focuses on traditional signal processing techniques (AC signals at two frequencies, RMS level) and a "file tracking algorithm" which appears to be a deterministic process based on the measured signals, not an AI/ML model. There is no mention of training data, test data for model validation, or any terms commonly associated with AI/ML.
No.
The device is an apex locator, which is a diagnostic tool used to determine the length of the root canal, and not a therapeutic device that treats or cures a disease.
Yes
The device, Detect, is an apex locator that determines the location of the root canal apex, which is a physiological characteristic. This information is used for diagnosis and treatment planning in endodontics.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components and functionalities, such as AC signal measurements, a TFT color graphic display, and built-in demo mode, indicating it is a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that "Detect is an electronic device used to indicate the location of the apex and the working length" within a root canal. This is a measurement taken in vivo (within the living body) during a dental procedure, not a test performed on a sample in vitro (outside the body).
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "precise localization of root canal apex" during dental treatment. This is a procedural aid, not a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
Therefore, Detect is a medical device used in a clinical setting, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Detect is an electronic device used to indicate the location of the apex and the working length. This product must only be used in hospital environments, clinics or dental offices, by qualified practitioners.

Device Description
Detect is a modern apex locator intended for precise localization of root canal apex. The measurements in Detect are performed utilizing AC signals at two frequencies - 500 Hz and 8 kHz. The frequencies are alternated and not mixed, eliminating the need for signal mixing and frequency discrimination electronic circuits. The patented signal measuring method utilized in Detect is based on measurements of RMS (Root Mean Square) level of the signal. Advanced user interface implemented in Detect is based on high resolution TFT color graphic display. Clear real time presentation of endodontic file movement inside the canal is designed to make dentist's work easier and to increase his confidence. Display indicators are carefully designed to be intuitively understood and to serve for instant troubleshooting during device usage. Detect shows the movement of the file inside the canal from the beginning of the measurements to the end, providing uninterrupted feedback to the dentist. File tracking algorithm enables full-scale display of the file movement during the treatment while Apical Zoom feature enables high-resolution indication of the file advance in pre-apical and apical zones. Large, clearly recognizable graphical and numerical readings in Apical Zoom are designed to enable precise control over the file advance matching the individual technique of the dentist. Visual information is accompanied by optional audio signals. Numerical values and the numerical scale shown in the Apical Zoom do not represent actual distance from the apex in mm; they serve as a convenient reference to judge the file tip position in relation to the apex. Operation of Detect is fully automatic, no manual calibrations or adjustments are required. The measured signal is analyzed and automatic adjustments are made if required. The device may operate within different conditions in the root canal: dry or wet. Very dry canals should be wetted by hypochlorite or saline solution. Full automation of the apex locator operation simplifies the use and increases the reliability of the measurements. Detect may only be used with stainless steel or nickel titanium endodontic files. Built-in Demo mode of Detect enables easy simulation of all stages of the treatment and is designed to simplify familiarization of the user with the device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
To evaluate the performance of Detect apex locator, ex-vivo test was performed on extracted teeth. The results obtained with Detect were compared to the results of the FDA cleared device - BINGO PRO apex locator.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Ex-vivo test was performed on extracted teeth. The conclusion of the test was that the apex localization obtained with both devices (Detect and BINGO PRO) is the same and that Detect provides clinically acceptable results.

Dear Ms. Yukevich:
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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
