Intended Use
The Zfx Dental CAD System is intended to allow the user to acquire patient specific data via a scan or digital file and define the shapes of dental prosthetic devices such as dental abutments, crowns, bridges, copings, in-lays, on-lays, and veneers through the use of a 3D-CAD tool. Zfx Dental CAD System creates an output file of the restorations designed by the user that can be manufactured using a CAM system.
Device Description
The Zfx Dental CAD system is software that is used to design dental restorative prosthetic devices from digital optical impressions. The software receives topographical characteristics of dental impressions or stone models from a compatible scanning system. The design created in the software is complied into a format enabling manufacturing of a patient specific component at Zimmer Dental. The CAD software is pre-installed on a Windows compatible computer system.

No
The summary describes a standard CAD software for dental prosthetics, focusing on user-driven design and manufacturing output. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts, nor any descriptions of training or test sets typically associated with such technologies.

No

This device is a CAD system used for designing dental prosthetic devices, which are then manufactured. It does not directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device is described as software used for designing dental prosthetic devices from digital impressions, not for diagnosing medical conditions or diseases. It creates an output file for manufacturing restorations.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that the Zfx Dental CAD system is software used to design dental restorative prosthetic devices. While it interacts with external scanning systems and manufacturing processes, the core medical device function described is the software-based design tool.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to design dental prosthetic devices based on patient-specific data acquired through scans or digital files. This is a design and manufacturing process for a medical device (dental prosthetics), not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is software used to design dental restorative prosthetic devices from digital optical impressions. It processes topographical characteristics, not biological samples or data derived from them for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Claims: There are no mentions of analyzing biological samples, detecting diseases, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Input Data: The input data is digital optical impressions or STL files from a scanner, which represent the physical shape of the dental anatomy, not biological markers or samples.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

Verification and Validation Testing: Software, hardware, and integration verification and validation testing was performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance Document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" (Issued on May 11, 2005). Validation testing has been conducted to demonstrate that the Zfx Dental CAD system can accept a digital scan file from a compatible dental scanner, and design a patient specific restoration, such as an abutment, crown, or bridge. Verification testing has been conducted to verify that a patient specific restoration can be manufactured by Zimmer to the required design specifications.
Clinical Testing: No clinical testing was performed.
