More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a coloring liquid for dental restorations and mentions CAD/CAM technology, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section.

No.
The device is a coloring liquid for dental restorative material and is used by dental technicians to provide individualized tooth shading; it does not directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a coloring liquid for dental restorative materials to provide individualized tooth shading. It does not perform any diagnostic function such as identifying, detecting, or monitoring a disease or condition.

No

The device is a liquid coloring agent, which is a physical substance, 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 to provide individualized tooth shading for dental restorations. This is a manufacturing process for a medical device (dental restoration), not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample to determine a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "liquid ceramic aid for complete or partial coloring of all zirconium oxide blanks." This further reinforces its role in the fabrication of dental restorations.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

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

The materials and fabrication processes used in the manufacture of the subject device are similar to the materials and fabrication processes used in the manufacture of the predicate device since the manufacturing of coloring liquids are widely similar in the industry. Because material biocompatibility was accepted for the predicate and because there are no significant differences in manufacturing which could affect biocompatibility, additional biocompatibility testing was not supplied in support of this clearance.
Data regarding performance testing was provided. Because similar material makeup is used for both the subject and predicate devices, these performance results support the finding of substantial equivalence. The results include general properties (physical form, odor, color), physical and chemical properties (pH, boiling point, density, specific gravity, solubility).

SterilityNon-sterileNon-sterile

Conclusion: From the chart above, the differences between the subject device and the predicate device are primarily due to the available items in product lines and slight differences in density/specific gravity. Although the Luminesse® Pre-Sintered Zirconia Coloring Liquid and predicate devices are available in different volumes, shades and as water-based (both device under review and predicate) and acid-based (new device only), the differences of both the device and predicate device are not and does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness of the device. Furthermore, the data supplied for both new and predicate device on physical and mechanical properties demonstrate similarity, albeit unequal results, and are within the expected specifications for zirconia dying liquid materials for dental application. Therefore, the differences observed in the chart above do not raise new questions.

In comparison to the predicate device, Luminesse® Pre-Sintered Zirconia Coloring Liquid has:

  • The same intended use (as described above) and; -
  • -Technological characteristics which do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

In conclusion, Luminesse Pre-Sintered Zirconia Coloring Liquid is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Upcera Coloring Liquid (I and II).
