The summary describes a system of ceramic materials for fabricating dental prostheses and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No
This device is used to fabricate prostheses for missing/damaged teeth, which are restorative rather than therapeutic in nature. While it addresses a medical need, it does so by replacing structure, not by treating a disease or condition therapeutically.
No
The device is used to fabricate prostheses for missing/damaged teeth, effectively creating a medical device rather than diagnosing a condition. Its function is restorative, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "several silica glass ceramic materials" and includes "ceramic ingots," "powders," "pastes," "shades," and "glazes." These are all physical materials, not software.
Based on the provided information, the APVolution System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "fabricate prostheses for missing/damaged teeth." This is a direct treatment or restoration of a physical condition within the body.
- Device Description: The device consists of ceramic materials used to create dental restorations. These are materials that are physically placed in the mouth.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "missing/damaged teeth," which is within the human body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples taken from the body. The APVolution System is used within the body to replace or restore damaged structures.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The APVolution System is used to fabricate prostheses for missing/damaged teeth. The APVolution pressable ingots are pressed onto metal alloy (APVolution M) or zirconia (APVolution Z) frames by dental technicians to fabricate ceramic restorations. APVolution M and APVolution Z ceramic layering powders and/or pastes are used to layer or build up the pressed ceramic to final tooth morphology. APVolution S ceramic ingots are used to create all-ceramic restorations. AP Stains and Glaze are used during the fabrication process to achieve the correct shade.

Device Description
The APVolution System consists of several silica glass ceramic materials used to create allceramic, ceramic-metal or ceramic-zirconia dental restorations. The APVolution System includes three ceramic ingots for use in the fabrication of all-ceramic (APVolution S), press-to-metal (APVolution M) or press-to-zirconia (APVolution Z) restorations. The system also includes powders and pastes for use in build-up and shaping of the final restoration, as well as shades and glazes for use in achieving acceptable aesthetics.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The APVolution System components have been tested to confirm compliance with ISO 6872 Dentistry - Ceramic Materials. This Abbreviated 510(k) submission includes a Declaration of Conformity to the performance testing methods and acceptance criteria defined in ISO 6872. The specific inspections and tests included in this declaration are listed in the table above. This submission also includes biocompatibility test reports to demonstrate that the APVolution System components meet the biocompatibility requirements described in ISO 7405:2008 Dentistry -Evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry. Biocompatibility testing consisted of ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity testing where the proliferation or inhibition of an L929 cell monolayer was evaluated following direct contact with an extended-time (7 day) extract of the system components using DMSO in complete culture medium. The APVolution components met all requirements of the ISO 6872 and ISO 7405 standards.

Dear Pamela Papineau:
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.
