The summary describes a physical dental wedge with a hemostatic coating and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.
No
The device is used to retain restorative material and control bleeding during a dental procedure, which are supportive functions for the restoration and not the primary therapeutic action of healing or treating a condition.
No
The described device is a temporary wedge used to retain restorative materials and control bleeding during dental procedures, not to diagnose any medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is an injection-molded thermoplastic material coated with a hemostatic agent, indicating it is a physical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Benda Wedge is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Benda Wedge Function: The Benda Wedge is a physical device used during a dental procedure to temporarily retain restorative material and control bleeding. It does not analyze a sample from the body to provide diagnostic information.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a mechanical and hemostatic function within the mouth during a restoration, not a diagnostic test.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical design, material, and coating for its intended use in the inter-proximal space.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic results.
Therefore, the Benda Wedge falls under the category of a medical device used in a clinical setting, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
Benda Wedge is indicated for use as a temporary inter-proximal wedge during dental restorative procedures. Benda Wedge is similar in design to the Wedge Wand predicate device but includes a hemostatic agent to control gingival bleeding.
Design features consist of the following:
- Available in four anatomically-shaped sizes for optimum placement in 0 inter-proximal spaces
- Use an injection-molded thermoplastic material which is then coated with t t a fixed amount of aluminum sulfate hexadecahydrate to help control gingival bleeding.

Intended Use of the Device
Benda Wedge is to be used in combination with other devices to temporarily retain composite or amalgam restorative material during dental restorations and to control gingival bleeding.
Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate
Benda Wedge and the Wedge Wand predicate device have the following similar characteristics:
- Both Benda Wedge and predicate wedge device use thermoplastic . material but Benda Wedge is then coated with an astringent agent to control gingival bleeding
- . Astringent chosen for subject device is comparable in identity, mode of operation and amount to predicate cord device
- Available in 4 model sizes of wedge incorporating the same basic design . as predicate wedge device
- Same intended use as wedge predicate device .
- Same operating principle as wedge predicate device ●
Non-Clinical Performance Data
Biocompatibility testing was performed on the subject device in conformance with ISO 10993-1 guidelines.
Clinical Testing
Clinical testing has not been performed on this product.
Conclusion
We believe the Benda Wedge device is substantially equivalent to the Wedge Wand predicate device.
