No
The 510(k) summary describes a chemical solution for root canal irrigation and cleansing, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is a root canal cleanser, which is used for irrigation and cleansing after endodontic instrumentation, not for treating or curing a disease or condition. Its function is to facilitate the dental procedure.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a root canal cleanser intended to irrigate and cleanse root canal systems after endodontic instrumentation. It does not perform any diagnostic function such as detecting, monitoring, or predicting disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate solution in water with surfactant," which is a chemical substance, not software.

Based on the provided information, PacEndo™ Chlorhexidine is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "irrigate and cleanse root canal systems after endodontic instrumentation." This is a procedure performed on the patient's body (specifically, within the root canal), not on a sample taken from the patient's body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a solution for use in endodontic procedures, which are clinical treatments.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. PacEndo™ Chlorhexidine is a therapeutic/procedural device used directly in a clinical setting.

Dear Ms. Zhu:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

| Indications for
Use | PacEndo™ Chlorhexidine is
intended to irrigate and cleanse
root canal systems after
endodontic instrumentation. | CHX and CHX-Plus™ are used as
a final endodontic rinse after
instrumentation to irrigate and
cleanse the root canal system for
long lasting cleansing | Although the wording is not
identical, both devices are used
for endodontic procedures to
irrigate and cleanse the root
canal. |
| Composition of
Materials | Chlorhexidine Gluconate

pH Testing
Surface Contact Angle Testing | The difference between the
appearances of the subject and
predicate devices doesn't affect
the substantial equivalent of the
subject and predicate devices. |

Based on the above comparisons, Pac-Dent concludes that the subject device is substantially equivalent in intended use, composition and performance to the predicate device.

Non-Clinical Tests

Comparative testing was done to the noted predicate device for both pH and surface contact angle. The results of the comparative testing demonstrate that the subject device performs as well as the noted predicate in the surface contact angle testing and that both devices share similar pH values.

Conclusion

In summary, non-clinical performance testing demonstrates that PacEndo™ Chlorhexidine is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate product for its intended use.
