Intended 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.
Device Description
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. StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red is a modification to the StarCeram® products that have already been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in K133213. StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red has the same intended use and fundamental scientific technology as the StarCeram® products previously cleared by FDA. The only change is the addition of a new color additive.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a dental blank material for CAD/CAM milling, with no mention of AI or ML in its function or processing.

No
Explanation: This device is a semi-finished product for manufacturing dental restorations like crowns and bridges, which are prosthetic devices, not therapeutic devices.

No

Explanation: The device is a dental blank for fabricating crowns and bridges, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its function is to be milled into a restoration, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic step.

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.) for placement in the mouth. This is a therapeutic or restorative purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a semi-finished product made of zirconium dioxide for milling dental frameworks. This material is used to build the physical structure of the restoration, not to perform a test on a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description 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 biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition

The device is a material used in the manufacturing of a medical device (dental restoration), but it is not an IVD itself.

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. StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red is a modification to the StarCeram® products that have already been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in K133213. StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red has the same intended use and fundamental scientific technology as the StarCeram® products previously cleared by FDA. The only change is the addition of a new color additive.

Performance Data

No performance data was required or provided. Biocompatibility and cvtotoxicity testing was performed which showed that all versions of the product comply with ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5. Biocompatibility testing was performed under Design Controls to show that the modified version of the product continued to comply with the recognized consensus standards.

Substantial Equivalence

H.C. Starck's StarCeram® Z-Med Transcolour Red is a modification to the StarCeram® products cleared in K133213. StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red has the same intended use and indications for use, principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. StarCeram® Dental Blanks are indicated for crowns, multiunit bridges, inlay bridges and all-ceramic restoration. Applications include anterior and posterior bridges. This is the exact indications for use statement cleared for StarCeram® in K133213. Thus, StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red has the same intended use and may be substantially equivalent.

StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device. All of the devices are vttrium stabilized pre-sintered zirconium dioxide to be used in dental restorations. The StarCeram® products cleared in K133213 and StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red are all dental blanks which are fabricated to the desired shape by the user based on the specific needs of the patient. The only

2

difference between StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red and the StarCeram® products cleared in K133213 is the addition of a color additive.

This difference has been addressed by performing biocompatibility testing which shows that the new version of the product was found to be biocompatible. Therefore, the differences do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the products.
