Intended Use
ProFluoro™ Fluoride Varnish is intended for use as: - Professional treatment of dental hypersensitivity by occluding dentinal tubules with an adherent film
Device Description
ProFluoro™ Fluoride Varnish is a resin-based 5% sodium fluoride varnish applied to tooth surfaces with an applicator brush. Moisture from saliva cures the varnish and leaves a film on tooth to treat tooth hypersensitivity.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and chemical properties of a fluoride varnish, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as treating symptoms (tooth hypersensitivity) by occluding dentinal tubules, rather than treating or preventing a disease or condition. This aligns with the definition of a palliative or supportive device, which is not considered a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device is a varnish used for professional treatment of dental hypersensitivity by forming a film on tooth surfaces. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is a physical product (fluoride varnish) applied to teeth, not a software program.

Based on the provided information, ProFluoro™ Fluoride Varnish is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "Professional treatment of dental hypersensitivity by occluding dentinal tubules with an adherent film." This describes a therapeutic treatment applied directly to the patient's teeth, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a substance applied to tooth surfaces, which then cures with saliva. This is a topical application for treatment, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing a sample (like blood, urine, or tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. ProFluoro™ Fluoride Varnish does not fit this definition.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

This 510(k) submission includes data from bench testing to evaluate the performance of ProFluoro™ Fluoride Varnish compared to predicate device Enamelast™ Fluoride Varnish. Properties evaluated include appearance, total fluoride (wt%), pH and film thickness. It was concluded that ProFluoro™ Fluoride Varnish is substantially equivalent to and in some cases exceeding the predicate device in terms of physical properties.

Dear Ms. Zhu:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21. Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Summary of Biocompatibility Tests

The chemical components in ProFluoro™ Fluoride Varnish have been used in predicate device. Rosin and other rosin derivatives are used as adhesive agents in FDA approved dental varnishes. These include Duraflor®, Vanish "" Varnish, Enamel Pro® Varnish, Enamelast™ and the other fluoride varnishes. We believe these facts well support the compatibility of ProFluoro'™ Fluoride Varnish, and the safety of the applicant device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in materials and technological properties.

The risk analysis provided above also shows that ProFluoro™ Fluoride Varnish is safe for its intended use.

No biocompatibility test is required to establish substantial equivalent to the predicate device.
