More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and fabrication techniques of a dental ceramic system, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a ceramic system used for fabricating dental restorations, which are considered prosthetics rather than therapeutic devices.

No

Explanation: The device is a dental porcelain system used for fabricating dental restorations (crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers). Its intended use and description pertain to the creation of restorative materials, not the diagnosis of a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "dental porcelain system composed of a leucite-ceramic" and mentions "pellets," indicating a physical material, not software. The performance studies also focus on material properties like flexural strength and chemical solubility.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a ceramic system for fabricating dental restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers). This is a dental restorative material, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a dental porcelain system used for fabrication techniques.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

The device is a material used in the creation of dental prosthetics, which falls under the category of dental devices, not IVDs.

510(K) SUMMARY

Synspar Advanced Pressable Ceramic

Rev. 1

Technological Characteristics: The Synspar Advance Pressable Ceramic (Pellets) represents a shade modification (pigment percentages) to the Prismatik NetPress (510k No. K050144) and can be used in the same "Press on Metal" technique as IPS InLine POM (K071848). Both Synspar Advance and Prismatic Netpress pellets represent modifications to the Synspar and Avante Porcelain Systems by Ardent Inc. Changes have been made in the device's formulation and processing technique.

Testing Summary: Synspar Advance Pressable Ceramic (Pellets) was tested according to ISO 6872:2008 and is classified as Type II Class 1a&b and 2a esthetic dental ceramic. Synspar Advanced Pressable Ceramic was also tested for Metal-Ceramic Bond Strength in accordance with ISO 9693:1999, A1:2005 Dentistry: Metal-ceramic dental restorative systems for its use in the Press on Metal technique. The device has been tested for flexural strength, chemical solubility, CTE, Metal-Ceramic Bond Strength, and Glass transition temperature and the results of such testing are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

All of the components have been used in legally marketed devices. The formulations have not been changed in ways that may adversely impact safety or efficacy.

We believe that the prior use of the components in legally marketed devices, the similarity in the formulations between the modified device and the marketed device, and the data provided regarding the modifications to the marketed device support the safety and effectiveness of the Synspar Advance Pressable Ceramic (Pellets) for the intended use.
