The summary describes a traditional two-part chemical system for dental applications and makes no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.
No.
The device is a cavity liner and pulp capping agent, which are materials used in dental procedures, not therapeutic devices that actively treat or restore health.
No
The device is described as a cavity liner and pulp capping agent, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic functions. It is used in conjunction with restorative techniques, not to identify or assess a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "hard-setting Calcium Hydroxide cavity liner and pulp capping agent," which is a physical material, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is as a "hard-setting Calcium Hydroxide cavity liner and pulp capping agent." This describes a material applied directly to a patient's tooth structure during a dental procedure.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a "two-part, base/catalyst- paste/paste system" used in conjunction with restorative techniques. This is consistent with a material used in vivo (within the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples in vitro (outside the body), such as blood, urine, or tissue. The device is applied directly to the patient's tooth.
IVD devices are used 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 Technological Characteristics:
The base formulation of Proposed Life Regular Set and Life Fast Set and the predicate device, Life 2 (K012717), remains unchanged.
- Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The catalyst formulation of Proposed Life Regular Set and Life Fast Set and the predicate device, Life 2 (K012717), is very similar, the only difference being the Fumed Silica. The predicate Life 2 (K012717) contains 2-5% Fumed Silica Aerosil R972, CAS# 68611-44-9. The Proposed Life Regular Set and Life Fast Set contain 2-5% Fumed Silica Cab-o-sil TS720, CAS#67762-90-7.
The mixing of the base and catalyst causes the mixture to harden. This is due to a chelation reaction between the calcium hydroxide and the salicylate moieties. The hardening of the thin layer occurs quickly so that the remaining steps of the procedure can proceed. The intention of a cavity base or pulp liner is to protect the pulp from thermal shock.
The fumed silica is added to serve as a filler and rheological modifier. It does not participate in the reaction. The surface treatment of the fumed silica is conducted to make the filler more hydrophobic and to improve the compatibility with the formulation. The difference between a dimethyldichlorosilane treated fumed silica and a polydimethylsiloxane treated fumed silica is insignificant in this formulation. The formulation utilizing the alternative fumed silica has been on the market for a number of years internationally. Based on post market data, the performance characteristics of this material result in equivalent feedback as that of the predicate. The slight variation in fumed silica does not change the performance characteristics of the device.
The primary tube packaging will be changed from a laminate plastic tube to a polyfoil tube, the same tube in which the international version of the product is currently sold and has been on the market for a number of years. The tube filling operation was validated per an internal process validation. Based on the number of years of successful clinical use of polyfoil tubing internationally and successful validation data, the Proposed Life Regular Set/ Life Fast Set tubing change is deemed substantially equivalent to the predicate Life 2 (K012717).

- Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Data:
Verification and validation activities were performed in accordance with design control requirements as specified in 21 CFR 820.30 and ISO 13485:2012 Medical Devices-Quality Management Systems, and the results demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate. Risk analysis for the changes in manufacturing, packaging and formulation was performed utilizing ISO 14971:2012, Application of risk management to medical devices. No new hazards were identified based on post market data from the internationally sold product that has been on the market for a number of years utilizing the proposed manufacturing process, packaging and formulation. The filling process was validated per an internal process validation.
- Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Data:
8. Substantial Equivalence:
Life 2 (K012717) is an existing device which was granted market clearance by FDA in 2001. Sybron Dental Specialties seeks only to slightly modify the existing device cleared under K012717. Additionally, the device would be produced at a facility in Scafati, Italy.

Conclusion
The modification of Life Fast Set (PN 16530) to replace the Fumed Silica, the move of manufacturing locations to Scafati, Italy, and the change to the packaging does not affect the intended use of the device nor does it alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device. The nonclinical testing demonstrates that the Proposed Life Regular Set/ Life Fast Set performs as well as the predicate device. Proposed Life Regular Set/Life Fast Set is substantially equivalent to the predicate Life 2 (K012717).
