The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and biocompatibility of a denture relining material, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes.
The device is a resilient material for relining dentures, which is used to provide comfort and improve the fit of dentures for patients, thus serving a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "resilient material for making soft relining of dentures." Its functions are related to physical properties (viscosity, hardness, adhesion) and biocompatibility, not to diagnosing a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly states it is a VPS silicone material for relining dentures, consisting of pastes, cartridges, mixing tips, and primers, which are all physical components, 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 "a resilient material for making soft relining of dentures." This describes a material used on a medical device (dentures), not a test performed on a biological sample to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
- Device Description: The description details a silicone material, primers, and modifiers used for relining dentures. This aligns with a dental material, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
Therefore, GC RELINE II is a dental material used for relining dentures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
GC RELINE II is a VPS silicone for relining of dentures. The components consist of the base silicone paste and the catalyst silicone paste that are extruded from a cartridge and are automixed with a mixing tip. GC Reline II is available in the following viscosities: Soft, Extra Soft, and Extra Extra Soft.
The cartridge is made of high density polyethylene and the cap is made of polypropylene. The mixing tip is made of polypropylene.
GC Reline Primer for Resin is a resin adhesive that is packaged in a glass bottle.
GC Reline Modifier is available in Liquid A and Liquid B and is similar to the Base and Catalyst of the subject device. Liquid A and Liquid B are dispensed in equal amounts onto the mixing pad and mixed together. It is used to modify (activate) the existing reline surface to accept additional Reline II material.

- Description of Device:
GC RELINE II is a VPS silicone for relining of dentures. The components consist of the base silicone paste and the catalyst silicone paste that are extruded from a cartridge and are automixed with a mixing tip. GC Reline II is available in the following viscosities: Soft, Extra Soft, and Extra Extra Soft.
- Description of Device:
The cartridge is made of high density polyethylene and the cap is made of polypropylene. The mixing tip is made of polypropylene.
GC Reline Primer for Resin is a resin adhesive that is packaged in a glass bottle.
GC Reline Modifier is available in Liquid A and Liquid B and is similar to the Base and Catalyst of the subject device. Liquid A and Liquid B are dispensed in equal amounts onto the mixing pad and mixed together. It is used to modify (activate) the existing reline surface to accept additional Reline II material.
న. Indications for Use: GC RELINE II is a resilient material for making soft relining of dentures.
-
- Technological characteristics:
The components of GC RELINE II and the predicate device are similar. The subject device GC Reline II contains a new ingredient, Polydimethylsiloxane, which is used in each of the three viscosities. Bench testing demonstrates that the addition of the new ingredient does not impact technological characteristics when compared to the predicate K990376. The curing mechanism of the applicant and predicate devices is by polymerization of uncured vinyl polysiloxane. This reaction is caused by chemical polymerization initiator systems. Bench top testing indicates that even with different formula, applicant device and predicate devices, meet specifications listed in ISO 10139-2.
- Technological characteristics:
Therefore, the applicant and predicate device are substantially equivalent. There are no statistically significant differences between GC RELINE II and GC RELINE when comparing performance data.

7. Nonclinical Testing:
Benchtop testing demonstrates that the subject device GC Reline II, like its predicate device GC Reline Soft/Extra Soft, is in compliance with ISO 10139-2:2009 Dentistry-Soft lining materials for removable dentures-Part 2: Materials for long-term use, and as such, the subject device meets specific requirements for softness, adhesion, water sorption and water solubility as well as for packaging, marking and manufacturer's instructions for soft denture lining materials suitable for long-term use. The subject device GC Reline II was also tested and met the requirement for cytotoxicity, irritation and sensitivity as shown in the biocompatibility table above.
8. Substantial equivalence:
The subject device GC RELINE II and its predicate device GC RELINE (Soft/ Extra Soft) share the same function and intended use. The curing mechanism of the new and predicate device is equivalent. Bench testing demonstrates that the addition of a new ingredient in the subject device does not impact technological characteristics when compared to the predicate K990376.
The subject device and predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, including hardness, bond strength, sorption, solubility, and also share equivalent biocompatibility. Both the subject and predicate devices are provided nonsterile and have a shelf life of 2 years. Any differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new questions.
GC AMERICA INC. has demonstrated that, for the purposes of FDA's regulation of medical devices, the subject device GC Reline II is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in intended use, material composition, fundamental scientific technology, principals of operation, and basic design.
