No
The device description and intended use clearly define the product as ceramic blanks for dental restorations, milled using standard CAD/CAM systems and digital STL files. There is no mention of AI or ML in the description, performance studies, or key metrics.
No.
The device is a raw material (ceramic blank) used to produce dental restorations, not a therapeutic device itself.
No
Explanation: The device, K2 Zircon Blanks, is used for milling dental prosthetic restorations (Crowns, Bridges, and monolithic works). It is a material used for fabrication, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device is "ceramic blanks" and "ready for use water-based products" (liquids), which are physical materials, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "milling using digital stl-files to produce Crowns, Bridges and monolithic works" for "anterior and posterior restorations." This describes a process for creating dental prosthetics, which are medical devices used in vivo (within the body).
- Device Description: The device is described as "ceramic blanks" used for the "production of dentalprosthetic restorations." This further reinforces its role in creating physical dental devices.
- Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose, monitor, or aid in the diagnosis of any disease or condition. IVDs are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
The device is a material used in the manufacturing of dental prosthetics, which are considered medical devices, but not IVDs.

Dear Thomas Biskupski:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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
1
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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
