No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, with no mention of AI or ML.

No

The device is an impression material used for bite registration, which is a diagnostic and preparatory step in dentistry, not a direct therapeutic intervention that treats or prevents a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an impression material used for bite registration, which is a process of recording the relationship between a patient's upper and lower arches. This is a functional material used in the preparation for dental work, rather than for diagnosing a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states that Flash Bite is a two-component vinyl polysiloxane bite registration material, which is a physical substance, not software. It also mentions its use with a mixing, dosing, and dispensing device, further indicating it is a hardware-dependent material.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Bite registration," which is a dental procedure to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth. This is a mechanical process performed directly on the patient's mouth.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "impression material" used to reproduce the structure of teeth. This aligns with a physical impression process, not an in vitro test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. IVDs typically involve analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, Flash Bite is a dental device used for taking impressions, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Description for the Premarket Notification

Flash Bite is classified as impression materials (21 C.F.R. § 872.3660) because it is a devices intended to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth.

Flash Bite has been developed based on Dimenson Bite of 3M Deutschland GmbH (K991008), a predicate device to which Flash Bite has been compared. Like Dimension Bite, Flash Bite is a two component (base paste/catalyst) vinyl polysiloxane bite registration material designed to be used in 3M Deutschland GmbH's mixing, dosing and dispensing device, Garant of 3M Deutschland GmbH. The mixing ratio for both materials is base paste:catalyst, 1:1 (by volume).

In this 510(k) premarket notification Flash Bite has been compared to the predicate devices Dimenson Bite of 3M Deutschland GmbH (K991008) and Flash AR Penta of 3M Deutschland GmbH (K131404) with regard to indications for use, physical and mechanical properties, and chemical composition. The comparison for indications for use, performance data, and chemistry shows that Flash Bite is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Biocompatibility testing was carried out. Biocompatibility evaluations have been performed for Flash AR Bite in consideration of FDA & internationally recognized guidelines. The conclusion of the assessments is that Flash Bite material is biocompatible for its intended use.

In summary, it can be concluded that Flash Bite is as substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness as the predicate devices Dimension Bite and Flash AR Penta by 3M Deutschland GmbH.

Dear Mr. Ruediger:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
