More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material properties and manufacturing process of a dental ceramic, with no mention of AI or ML. The performance studies are based on material standards, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is a material (zirconia-based ceram) used to manufacture restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays) and does not directly provide therapy or treatment.

No

The device is described as a material (zirconia-based ceram) used to manufacture dental restorations like crowns and bridges, not to diagnose medical conditions. The performance studies focus on material properties and biocompatibility, not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description clearly states it is a zirconia-based ceramic material provided in physical shapes (square and circle) for manufacturing dental restorations. 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 is for creating substructures for dental restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays). This is a structural component used in the body, not a test performed on a sample from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a zirconia-based ceramic material used for manufacturing cores of dental crowns. This is a material used in a manufacturing process for a medical device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on material properties (strength, solubility, biocompatibility) relevant to a dental restorative material, not diagnostic accuracy metrics.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 872.6660 Porcelain powder for clinical use.

(a)
Identification. Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.(b)
Classification. Class II.
