The summary describes a dental filling material and its physical properties, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device description indicates that it is a dental filling material, which is used to restore missing tooth structure, not to treat a disease or condition therapeutically.
No
The device description states that Tetric EvoFlow® Bulk Fill is a dental filling material intended for use in restorations, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "flowable, light-curing radiopaque composite," which is a physical material used for dental fillings, not software. The performance studies also focus on material properties like strength, solubility, and radiopacity.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for dental restorations (fillings) in teeth. This is a therapeutic and restorative application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description clearly states it's a "flowable, light-curing radiopaque composite" used as a "dental filling material." This aligns with a material used to repair or replace tooth structure.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a condition, analyze a sample from the body, or provide information about a patient's health status.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on material properties relevant to dental restorations (biocompatibility, flexural strength, curing depth, etc.), not on diagnostic accuracy or analytical performance.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
Tetric EvoFlow® Bulk Fill is a flowable, light-curing radiopaque composite. As its opacity increases during polymerization, it is also suitable for discolored tooth structure. It is applied in increments of up to 4 mm as an initial layer in Class I and II restorations. Tetric EvoFlow Bulk Fill is intended for use as a dental filling material.

Summary of Performance Studies
The device was evaluated for biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2009 and EN ISO 7405:2008. The device was tested for cytotoxicity and Mutagenicity. In addition, the photoinitiator was tested in a cytotoxicity assay in vitro. Biocompatibility was further assessed based on a comparison to the predicate device and review of the literature.
The device was tested in accordance with ISO 4049 Dentistry - Polymer-based restorative materials (ISO 4049:2009) as a Type 1, Class 2 restorative. The following properties were tested and compared to the predicate:
Flexural Strength
Laver thickness/Curing Depth
Sensitivity to ambient light
Water Sorption
Solubility
Radiopacity
Transparency
Flexural Modulus
The specification criteria for sensitivity to light and radiopacity have been raised so that the product achieves more than required by ISO 4049. Transparency of the subject device is reduced because of its indication as a dentin replacement. A difference in flexural modulus was found and reflects the difference in consistency of the subject device from the predicate.
Both products are applied in a maximum layer thickness of 4 mm. The performance of the subject device compared to the predicate was also evaluated using the Vickers hardness profile and the results were equivalent.

| Predicate - Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill
| (K111958) | Subject Device |
|---|---|
| Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill is a light-curing, radiopaque dental filling composite. | |
| The special features are: | Tetric EvoFlow Bulk Fill is a flowable, light-curing radiopaque dental filling composite. |
| The special features are: | |
| - It is applied in increments of up to 4 mm, saving the dentist time | - it is applied in increments of up to 4 mm, saving the dentist time |
- that its opacity increases during polymerization. It is intended to be a dentin replacement and is also suitable for discolored tooth structure |
| Indications for Use | Indications for Use |
| - Restorations of deciduous teeth - Restorations in the posterior region (Classes I and II)
- Class V restorations (cervical caries, root erosion, wedge-shaped defects)
- Extended fissure sealing in molars and premolars | - As initial layer / first increment in Class I and II composite restorations in permanent teeth
- Restorations in deciduous teeth
The indications are reduced because the material has been designed with an opacity similar to dentin. Flowables are often used by dentists as luting composites and this is excluded by the subject device. |
| Working principle - Shade selection
- Isolation
- Cavity preparation
- Pulp protection / base
- Application of the matrix / interdental wedge
- Conditioning / application of the bonding agent
- Application of Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill in layers of maximum 4mm polymerizing each layer.
- Finishing / checking the occlusion / polishing | Working principle remains unchanged from predicate. The consistency has been changed to flowable for easy application as the first layer of a restoration. An optimization of the device makes it possible to have a materials which is transparent enough to be polymerized in 4mm layer but them sufficiently opaque to achieve the esthetics of dentin. |
Technological Characteristics and Testing Summary: FDA Guidance Document for Dental Composite Resin Devices dated October 26, 2005 was followed in connection with this application.

The logo features the company name in two lines, with "Ivoclar" in a larger, bold, teal font above "Vivadent" in a similar font. Above the company name is a semi-circular arrangement of green and teal dots and squares. Below the company name is the company's slogan, "passion vision innovation" in a smaller, sans-serif font.
The device was evaluated for biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2009 and EN ISO 7405:2008. The device was tested for cytotoxicity and Mutagenicity. In addition, the photoinitiator was tested in a cytotoxicity assay in vitro. Biocompatibility was further assessed based on a comparison to the predicate device and review of the literature.
The device was tested in accordance with ISO 4049 Dentistry - Polymer-based restorative materials (ISO 4049:2009) as a Type 1, Class 2 restorative. The following properties were tested and compared to the predicate:
Flexural Strength Laver thickness/Curing Depth Sensitivity to ambient light Water Sorption Solubility Radiopacity Transparency Flexural Modulus
The specification criteria for sensitivity to light and radiopacity have been raised so that the product achieves more than required by ISO 4049. Transparency of the subject device is reduced because of its indication as a dentin replacement. A difference in flexural modulus was found and reflects the difference in consistency of the subject device from the predicate.
Both products are applied in a maximum layer thickness of 4 mm. The performance of the subject device compared to the predicate was also evaluated using the Vickers hardness profile and the results were equivalent.
Tetric EvoFlow Bulk Fill is a flowable version of the predicate device, Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill. The composition has been optimized to achieve the desired consistency and translucency. Overall the performance and biocompatibility are not significantly different.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, Tetric EvoFlow Bulk Fill is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill.
