The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and biocompatibility properties of a dental impression material, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is a dental impression material used for diagnostic and prosthetic purposes, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is an impression material used to create a physical copy of the oral cavity for constructing gypsum casts and study models. Its purpose is not to diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device is described as a hydrocolloid dental impression material in powder form, which is a physical substance, not software.
Based on the provided information, the MARK3 device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to take impressions of the oral cavity for the purpose of constructing a gypsum cast. This is a physical process used to create a model of the mouth.
- Device Description: The device is a dental impression material (alginate powder).
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: IVDs are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. The MARK3 device does not analyze any biological samples. It is used to create a physical mold.
- Performance Data: The performance data focuses on physical properties and biocompatibility, not on the analysis of biological markers or diagnostic information.
The MARK3 device is a dental material used for creating physical models, which falls under the category of dental devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows a person wearing gloves and holding a small object, possibly a needle or similar tool. The background is a light blue color, creating a sterile or medical-like atmosphere. In the lower right corner, there is a logo that says "CAVEX" in blue and white lettering.
Technical Characteristics:
The technology for the proposed device MARK3 is comparable to the predicate devices.
Basically the alginate, a soluble salt of alginic acid (extracted from brown seaweed), serves as the thickener for water, giving the paste, upon mixing, the correct consistency.
It also reacts chemically with calcium sulphate to make the paste harden into a solid impression.
The fillers (diatomaceous earth) give the mixture its mechanical strength and proper handling characteristics.
A retarder, sodium pyrophosphate, is used for achieving the proper hardening-time. Sufficient working time to mix, apply and take a proper impression and short setting time in the mouth.
Stabilizers will improve the surface-smoothness of the gypsum-cast and the pigment facilitates the "reading" of the impression by the dentist for a good judgment of its quality.
Peppermint oil is added to overcome the "gagging" reflex which can occur during the impression taking.
Paraffin oil is added in order to prevent dust formation during dosing and mixing of the powder.

Biocompatibility:
MARK3 alginate impression material, primary predicate device and secondary devices contacts directly with the oral mucosa (3 - 5 minutes) therefore they are categorized as surface contact devices with limited contact duration. Testing is performed for cytotoxicity (ISO19993-5 ), sensitization and irritation (ISO10993-10). The test results demonstrated that the proposed device MARK3 is biocompatible.

Conclusion:
The technical characteristics, material composition, principles of operation and indications for use of the proposed device MARK3 alginate (K141092) is comparable to several secondary devices. Therefore, Cavex Holland BV considers the MARK3 Alginate Impression Material to be as safe, as effective and performance substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
