No
The 510(k) summary describes a paste for dental procedures and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

Yes.
EXPAZEN is used for temporary retraction and hemostasis of the gingival margin during dental procedures, which directly addresses a physiological condition (bleeding, tissue position) to facilitate treatment, thus qualifying it as therapeutic.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a paste used for temporary retraction and hemostasis of the gingival margin during dental procedures. It does not perform any diagnostic function such as detecting, identifying, or characterizing a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a paste containing aluminum chloride, 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 of EXPAZEN is for temporary retraction and hemostasis of the gingival margin during dental procedures. This is a direct application to the patient's tissue for a physical effect (retraction and stopping bleeding).
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: EXPAZEN does not involve testing a sample from the body to gain diagnostic information. It's a topical paste used for a procedural purpose.

Therefore, EXPAZEN falls under the category of a medical device used in a clinical setting, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Rosati:

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.
