Intended Use
5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish is indicated for sealing of dentinal tubules for the treatment of hypersensitive teeth, sensitive root surfaces and for cavity preparations.
Device Description
5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish is a fluoride varnish which is applied to tooth surfaces for sealing dentinal tubules and treatment of hypersensitive teeth. The varnish is applied in a thin layer over the tooth with an applicator brush, and moisture from saliva cures the varnish for adhesion to the tooth surface.

No
The summary describes a chemical product (fluoride varnish) and its physical properties and performance, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes.

The device is indicated for treatment of hypersensitive teeth and sensitive root surfaces, which are therapeutic applications.

No
The device is a treatment (fluoride varnish) for hypersensitive teeth and cavity preparations, and its function involves sealing dentinal tubules, not diagnosing conditions.

No

The device is a physical substance (varnish) applied to teeth, not a software program.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for sealing dentinal tubules and treating hypersensitive teeth by applying a varnish to tooth surfaces. This is a direct treatment applied to the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a varnish applied to tooth surfaces.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of this device being used to diagnose a condition, analyze samples from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue), or provide information for diagnostic purposes.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

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

Non-clinical performance data included testing for tubule occlusion, viscosity, retention on the tooth surface, fluoride release and fluoride content. Stability testing and biocompatibility testing were also performed. The data analyzed in the various tests substantiate that 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish is as safe and effective as the predicate Fluoride Varnish (K031932).
Biocompatibility testing was performed according to ISO 10993-1:2009. The 5 % Sodium Fluoride Varnish was determined to be non-sensitizing and non-irritating with respect to the requirements for Sensitization and Oral Mucosa Irritation and was determined to be equivalent to legally marketed varnish devices with respect to Cytotoxicity.
Due to the low risk nature of 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish and its commonality of materials used in the dental industry, clinical performance data was not applicable for verification of safety and efficacy. Tubule occlusion efficacy was substantiated by in vitro bench testing.

5.0 Indications for Use

5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish is indicated for sealing of dentinal tubules for the treatment of hypersensitive teeth, sensitive root surfaces and for cavity preparations.

6.0 Identification of Risk Analysis Method

Risk analysis was performed on 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish utilizing a process based on ISO 14971:2007. The results of the risk analysis performed on 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish concluded that all device design controls and process controls will be able to mitigate known potential failures and effects. In addition, performance testing and biocompatibility testing were performed to mitigate other potential risks.

7.0 Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence

7.1 Technological Characteristics

The technological characteristics of 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish are very similar to the predicate Fluoride Varnish (K031932). Both varnishes are viscous solutions containing releasable fluoride in rosin bases dissolved by a solvent. 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish and the predicate Fluoride Varnish (K031932) can both be applied to a wet tooth, and upon contact with saliva, adhere to the tooth surfaces. The film that the varnishes create on the tooth surfaces acts to occlude dentin tubules, which supports relief of hypersensitivity.

7.2 Non-Clinical Performance Data

Non-clinical performance data included testing for tubule occlusion, viscosity, retention on the tooth surface, fluoride release and fluoride content. Stability testing and biocompatibility testing were also performed. The data analyzed in the various tests substantiate that 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish is as safe and effective as the predicate Fluoride Varnish (K031932).

Biocompatibility testing was performed according to ISO 10993-1:2009. The 5 % Sodium Fluoride Varnish was determined to be non-sensitizing and non-irritating with respect to the requirements for Sensitization and Oral Mucosa Irritation and was determined to be equivalent to legally marketed varnish devices with respect to Cytotoxicity.

7.3 Clinical Performance Data

Due to the low risk nature of 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish and its commonality of materials used in the dental industry, clinical performance data was not applicable for verification of safety and efficacy. Tubule occlusion efficacy was substantiated by in vitro bench testing.

7.4 Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence

5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish has been tested for its ability to occlude dentin tubules, retention on tooth surfaces, fluoride release and content, stability and safety. The results of the comparison of the 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish with respect to intended use, indications for use, and formulation design to the predicate Fluoride Varnish (K031932), as well as the results of the non-clinical testing conducted to assess its performance and biological safety support substantial equivalence.
