The summary describes a material (zirconium dioxide blanks) used in CAD/CAM systems for dental restorations, with no mention of AI or ML in its function or processing.
No.
The device is a semi-finished product for creating dental restorations, not a therapeutic device itself.
No
The device is described as "semi finished products made of yttrium stabilized pre-sintered zirconium dioxide for milled production of crowns and bridge framework." This indicates it is a material for fabricating dental restorations, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "semi finished product made of yttrium stabilized pre-sintered zirconium dioxide," which 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 dental restorations (crowns, bridges, etc.) which are implanted or used within the patient's mouth. This is a medical device used for treatment or restoration, not for diagnosing a condition based on in vitro examination of specimens from the human body.
- Device Description: The description clearly states it's a "semi finished product made of yttrium stabilized pre-sintered zirconium dioxide for milled production of crowns and bridge framework". This describes a material used to manufacture a medical device, not a diagnostic test.
- 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 substances in those samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a dental restorative material or a dental prosthetic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Dental Blanks made from StarCeram® are indicated for crowns, multi-unit bridges, inlay bridges and all-ceramic restoration. Applications include both anterior and posterior bridges. "
Technological Characteristics
Dental blanks made from StarCeram® products are semi finished products made of yttrium stabilized pre-sintered zirconium dioxide for milled production of crowns and bridge framework on commercial CAD/CAM systems or hand-operated copy-milling.
Performance Data
No performance data was required or provided. Biocompatibility and cytotoxicity testing was performed which showed that all versions of the product comply with ISO 10993-1.
Substantial Equivalence
StarCeram® Z-Med and StarCeram® Z-Al-Med HD were previously cleared in K081263. The only change to the cleared products is the additional indication for use related to all-ceramic restoration. All other aspects of the product including physical properties remain unchanged compared to the product cleared in K081263.
Regarding StarCeram® Z-Al-Med-HD Colour, StarCeram® Z-Al-Med HD Translucent, and StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour, these are dental blanks which are fabricated to the desired shape by the user based on the specific needs of the patient. The only difference between these three new products and the two StarCeram® products cleared in K081263 is the exact combination of qualities of zirconium dioxide used in each product. All other physical properties are identical to the StarCeram® products cleared in K081263.
Regarding the ZENO Zr Disc predicate device cleared in K112710, these products are also a group of medical devices which are discoidal shaped and partially sintered dental ceramic materials that are composed of zirconium dioxide. They are also available in various colors, translucencies and thicknesses. These blanks are also processed by the user based on the specific needs of the patient. The ZENO Zr Disc products are provided in 7 colors and a variety of thicknesses ranging from 10 to 25 mm which is the exact range of thicknesses offered for the StarCeram® products.
2
The only difference between the StarCeram® Z-Al-Med-HD Colour, StarCeram® Z-Al-Med HD Translucent, and StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour products and the StarCeram® products cleared in K081263 is the exact formulation of zirconium dioxide used. These differences have been addressed by performing biocompatibility testing which was provided in the 510(k) and showed that all versions of the product were found to be biocompatible. Therefore, the differences do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the products.
Similarly, when comparing the StarCeram® products to the ZENO Zr Disc predicate device cleared in K112710, the differences are the exact shapes of blanks offered and the exact formulation of zirconium dioxide utilized in each version of the product. The differences in the exact shapes of blanks available does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the product as the user chooses the blank that meets the needs of the patient and then processes the blank to the shape needed. Regarding the exact formulation of zirconium dioxide utilized in the StarCeram® products and the ZENO Zr Disc products, both product lines use a variety of formulations to achieve a range of colors and translucencies. These differences have been addressed in the biocompatibility testing which was provided in the 510(k) which showed that all versions of the products were found to be biocompatible. Therefore, the differences do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the products.
Therefore, StarCeram® products are substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices because they have the same intended use and technological characteristics including materials, application process and biocompatibility.
