Intended Use
Nexus RMGI is intended for use as a permanent dental cement. It is indicated for the following indirect restorations: 1. Cementation of metal-based inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges 2. Cementation of resin inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges 3. Cementation of all ceramic inlays 4. Cementation of high strength (zirconia based) all ceramic crowns and bridges 5. Cementation of metal, ceramic and fiber posts
Device Description
Nexus™ RMGI is a radiopaque resin-modified glass ionomer luting cement offered in a paste/paste/paste formulation that provides an option for tack light-curing of excess cement. This paster formalation that problems of a catalyst packaged in dual-barrel syringes. The base and catalyst are dispensed from the dual-barrel syringe through automix tips.

No
The description focuses on the material properties and application method of a dental cement, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
This device is a dental cement used for permanent bonding of various indirect dental restorations, which is a structural or restorative function, not a therapeutic one.

No

Explanation: The device is a permanent dental cement used for the cementation of various indirect restorations. Its purpose is to physically bond dental materials, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "radiopaque resin-modified glass ionomer luting cement offered in a paste/paste/paste formulation" and is dispensed from syringes, indicating it is a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Nexus RMGI is a "permanent dental cement" for "cementation of indirect restorations." This describes a material used in the body to bond dental prosthetics, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a "resin-modified glass ionomer luting cement" in a paste/paste formulation, dispensed through automix tips. This is consistent with a dental cement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on characteristics relevant to a dental cement, such as work time, set times, strength, film thickness, and bond strength. These are physical and mechanical properties, not diagnostic performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

In summary, Nexus RMGI is a dental material used for bonding, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-Clinical Test Data: Biocompatibility studies were completed (ISO L929 MEM Elution Test, Nexts Arrenm and Escherichia Coli Reverse Mutation Assay, ISO Intramuscular Implantation Test, ISO Kligman Maximization Test and ISO Oral Irritation Test). Bench testing was conducted to evaluate performance characteristics of Nexus RMGI compared to the predicate device, RelyX Luting Plus Automix. Characteristics evaluated include Work Time, Set Times, Flexural Strength, Compressive Strength, Filler Loading, Translucency, Film Thickness, Consistency of Mixed Paste, Radiopacity, Solubility, Fluoride Release and Bond Strength.

Clinical Test Data: Clinical testing has not been conducted on this product.
