Intended Use
Yamahachi Denture Base Resins is intended for fabrication or repair of the denture base.
Device Description
Yamahachi Denture Base Resins is supplied in powder and liquid form. The powder is primarily a polymer of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) beads with small quantities of initiator and color pigments. The liquid is primarily the monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) with small quantities of a cross-linking agent and activator. To fabricate the denture base, the powder and liquid materials are mixed together and stirred to create a dough state that is packed or poured into a mold, saddle, or core. The resin then cures either through heat application (water bath, rapid immersion, or microwave oven) or a self-curing process (pressure vessel or via quick-setting). While heat-cure resins are generally used to fabricate denture bases, self-cure acrylics are most often indicated for repair and relining of the dentures. The subject device includes three heat-cure resins (Basis, Basis HI, and Basis Twin Cure) and two self-cure resins (Basis Flow and Re-Fine Bright).

No
The device description focuses on the chemical composition and curing process of denture base resins, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is a material used for fabricating or repairing denture bases, which are prosthetic components, not devices intended for treating or diagnosing medical conditions.

No
The device is a material (resin) used for the fabrication and repair of denture bases, which is a manufacturing process, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states the device is supplied in powder and liquid form, consisting of chemical components (polymethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, etc.) used to fabricate or repair denture bases. This 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 is for the "fabrication or repair of the denture base." This is a mechanical and structural application, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details the chemical composition and curing process of the resin materials used to create a physical object (a denture base). It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific analytes
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The device is a material used in the manufacturing and repair of dental prosthetics, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically in vitro diagnostics.
