No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical and chemical, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.
No
The device is used for mechanical plaque removal, similar to flossing, and is coated with fluoride for preventative purposes, but it does not treat or cure a disease or condition; it prevents tooth decay. Therapeutic devices are typically used for treatment of a pathological condition.
No
The device is described as an interdental brush for mechanical cleaning and plaque removal, not for diagnosing any condition. Its intended use is therapeutic/preventative (reducing tooth decay), not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (handle, wire, bristles, cap) and a coating, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Easy Brush with fluoride is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to mechanically remove plaque and food particles from between teeth. This is a physical action performed directly on the body (or rather, the teeth and interdental spaces), not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a brush designed for mechanical cleaning. While it contains fluoride, the primary function described is mechanical removal.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing a sample (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Easy Brush with fluoride does not fit this description.

Purpose of the Traditional 510(k) notice.

1
Intended Use
The Easy Brush with fluoride is intended to mechanically remove plaque and food particles from between teeth to reduce tooth decay. It is to be used with an in and out motion to clean between interdental space as it is done with floss, and other interdental cleaners such as tooth picks.
Technological Characteristics
The Easy Brush with fluoride is an interdental brush designed to clean between teeth. It is composed of 4 parts (a handle, a wire, bristles, and a cap). The wire is twisted around the nylon filaments to create the brush, and then is molded onto a plastic handle. It is then coated with a solution containing flavor and sodium fluoride and then capped off.
Substantial Equivalence
The Easy Brush with fluoride is intended to mechanically remove plaque and food particles from between teeth to reduce tooth decay. As described in more detail in the Substantial Equivalence Chart-Revised, (page 4 of this submission), which lists the devices' similarities and differences, the Easy Brush with fluoride has the same intended use as "Oral-B Interdental Woodsticks with Fluoride" (K942633) and "Johnson & Johnson Fluoride Dental Floss, Mint Waxed" (K935440).
Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility of the device relies upon testing done on approved devices such as DENTSPLY 5% Sodium Fluoride Vamish K122331, which was reported to have no biocompatibility issues, and upon the predicate devices mentioned above which contain an amount of sodium fluoride that is substantially equivalent to the subject Easy Brush with fluoride. In addition, bottled drinking water and tap water are also approved to contain sodium fluoride in amounts proven to be safe and beneficial to the public as an anti-caries agent. Therefore, the Easy Brush with fluoride at a level of approximately 0.15 mg per brush is also biocompatible.
