More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on the material properties and fabrication method (CAD/CAM or manual milling) of zirconia blanks, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a material (zirconia blanks) used for fabricating dental restorations, not a therapeutic device itself.

No

Explanation: The device, Vericore Zirconia Blanks, is described as a material used for fabricating dental restorations (substructures, restorations, crown framework, bridge framework). It is processed by CAD/CAM or manual milling machines. There is no indication that it is used for diagnosing medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device is a physical material (zirconia blanks) used in dental fabrication, not a software program.

No, this device 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.
  • Vericore Zirconia Blanks' Intended Use: The intended use of Vericore zirconia blanks is to fabricate dental restorations (substructures, restorations, crown frameworks, bridge frameworks). This is a manufacturing process for a medical device that will be placed in the body, not a test performed on a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the material and form of the blanks used for milling, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

The device is a material used in the creation of a dental prosthesis, which is a medical device, but it is not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Waters:

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.

9. BENCH TESTING

Flexural strength, thermal expansion, and chemical solubility tests were performed in accordance with ISO 6872 and all tests passed. Non-clinical testing for density was performed as well and the results are recorded in the proposed labeling.

10. BIOCOMPATIBILITY

The product is biocompatible because the predicate device was tested in accordance with ISO 10993-10, 10993-3, and 10993-5. No further biocompatibility tests are necessary because Whip Mix Vericore Blanks are made from the same powder as the predicate.

11. SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS CONCLUSION

Vericore® Zirconia Blanks are substantially equivalent to White Peaks ZR material in safety and effectiveness when used in accordance with the instructions for use. Both have similar Indications for Use, use the same raw material, and are biocompatible.
