No
The device description focuses on the physical properties and application methods of polyether impression materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
This device is an impression material used for taking dental impressions, which is a diagnostic or procedural tool, not a therapeutic intervention for treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is an impression material used to create molds of dental structures, which is a part of the treatment process rather than diagnosis. Its intended use is for "Impressions of inlay, onlay, veneer, crown, and bridge preparations" and "Fixation and implant impressions".

No

The device description clearly states that the devices are polyether impression materials, which are physical substances used to take impressions. This indicates a hardware component, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to take impressions of dental preparations and for fixation and implant impressions. This is a physical process of creating a mold of anatomical structures.
  • Device Description: The device is a polyether impression material. These materials are used to physically capture the shape of teeth and gums.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: The description does not mention any diagnostic purpose. The material itself is not used to analyze a sample from the body to provide information about a disease or condition. It's a tool for creating a physical model.
  • Anatomical Site: While it interacts with the patient's teeth and gums, this interaction is for the purpose of creating an impression, not for analyzing a biological sample.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical testing: In vitro testing was conducted to show that Rapid HB, Rapid LB and Rapid MB fulfils the requirements of FDA recognized standard ISO 4823. Additionally, the performance of Rapid HB, Rapid LB and Rapid MB was compared to the predicate devices Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step HB, Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step MB and Impregum Soft Quick Step LB regarding consistency, contact angle, working time, intraoral setting time, recovery from deformation, strain in compression, detail reproduction, compatibility with gypsum type 3 / type 4 and linear dimensional change. The results of Rapid LB and Rapid MB fulfill the requirements of ISO 4823 and are similar to Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step HB, Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step MB and Impregum Soft Quick Step LB. In summary, 3M Deutschland GmbH concludes that Rapid HB, Rapid LB and Rapid MB is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices regarding performance and physical and mechanical properties.

Biocompatibility: The biocompatibility assessment for the products was conducted in accordance with the following guidance: US FDA Docket Number FDA-2013-D-0350.

Table Comparison of indications

6

The differences between the indications of the Rapid materials and the predicate devices are not critical to the intended clinical use because the Rapid indications described the clinical case whereas the predicate indication described the usable impression technique of each material. All clinical indications (inlay, onlay, veneer, crown, and bridge preparations as well as fixation and implant impressions) are achievable with the described impression techniques (dual phase and monophase technique). This difference, i.e., stating clinical cases rather than impression techniques, does not raise any new questions regarding safety or effectiveness. Rather, it clarifies the appropriate uses within the described impression techniques and does not expand the indications of the new device(s) beyond those of the predicate device(s).

Table Comparison to Predicate Technology

Rapid HB, Rapid LB and Rapid MB, Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step HB, Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step MB and Imprequm Soft Quick Step LB are Polyether based Precision Impression materials. Chemically they are based on polyalkyleneoxides which cure by a cationic ringopening polymerization mechanism which is initiated by a Sulfonium starter. However, Rapid materials have been developed with the goal to accelerate the curing mechanism by adjusting the initiator system. Additives like fillers, softeners, pigments etc. have been adjusted accordingly.

Non-clinical testing

In vitro testing was conducted to show that Rapid HB, Rapid LB and Rapid MB fulfils the requirements of FDA recognized standard ISO 4823. Additionally, the performance of Rapid HB, Rapid LB and Rapid MB was compared to the predicate devices Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step HB, Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step MB and Impregum Soft Quick Step LB regarding consistency, contact angle, working time, intraoral setting time, recovery from deformation, strain in compression, detail reproduction, compatibility with gypsum type 3 / type 4 and linear dimensional change. The results of Rapid LB and Rapid MB fulfill the requirements of ISO 4823 and are similar to Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step HB, Impregum Penta Soft Quick Step MB and Impregum Soft Quick Step LB. In summary, 3M Deutschland GmbH concludes that Rapid HB, Rapid LB and Rapid MB is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices regarding performance and physical and mechanical properties.
