Device Description
TheraCal DC is a biocompatible, dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate that is used to treat damaged dentin in both the crown and the root. TheraCal DC's precise placement allows its use in all deep cavity preparations and endodontic repairs. The dual-cure set permits immediate placement and condensation of the restorative material. Its proprietary formulation allows for a command set with a light curing unit while maintaining ease of placement due to its thixotropic properties.
More Information

No
The summary describes a material (resin-modified calcium silicate) used for dental procedures and its physical/mechanical properties. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is used to treat damaged dentin and is indicated for uses such as pulpotomy, repair of root and furcation perforations, and pulp exposures, all of which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device, TheraCal DC, is a resin-modified calcium silicate used for treating damaged dentin and for various dental repair procedures. Its intended uses (pulpotomy, temporary filling, root/furcation perforation repair, etc.) and the description of its properties and testing (flexural strength, biocompatibility, etc.) indicate it is a therapeutic or restorative material, not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states that TheraCal DC is a "biocompatible, dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate," which is a physical material, not software. The performance studies also focus on physical and mechanical properties of this material.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to direct dental procedures performed on a patient's teeth (pulpotomy, filling, repair of perforations, root-end filling, pulp capping, liner/base). These are therapeutic and restorative actions within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a material used to treat damaged dentin within the tooth structure.
  • 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 samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is used inside the body for treatment and repair.

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

The following physical/mechanical properties of TheraCal DC were tested: flexural strength (ISO 4049:2009), compressive strength (ANSI/ADA Spec. No. 27:1993 Appendix A2), dimetral tensile strength (in-house test method), working time (in-house test method), bond strength (in-house test method), radiopacity (ISO 4049:2009), water sorption and solubility (ISO 4049:2009 and ISO 6876:2012), calcium release (in-house test method), and pH (in-house test method). An evaluation of biocompatibility of TheraCal DC was conducted using ISO 7405:2008 and ISO 10993-1:2009. Direct comparison testing demonstrates that TheraCal DC is equivalent to the predicate device. It is concluded from the evaluation and the results of the cytotoxicity study that TheraCal DC meets the requirements of the testing.

Dear Ryan Hobson:

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.

Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for BISCO. The logo consists of five connected hexagons in a row. The first, third, and fifth hexagons are red, while the second and fourth hexagons are blue. Below the hexagons is the word "BISCO" in a sans-serif font, with the top half of the letters in gray and the bottom half in black.

The primary difference between the subject device and the predicate is the stated shelf life.

Performance Data:

The following physical/mechanical properties of TheraCal DC were tested: flexural strength (ISO 4049:2009), compressive strength (ANSI/ADA Spec. No. 27:1993 Appendix A2), dimetral tensile strength (in-house test method), working time (in-house test method), bond strength (in-house test method), radiopacity (ISO 4049:2009), water sorption and solubility (ISO 4049:2009 and ISO 6876:2012), calcium release (in-house test method), and pH (in-house test method). An evaluation of biocompatibility of TheraCal DC was conducted using ISO 7405:2008 and ISO 10993-1:2009. Direct comparison testing demonstrates that TheraCal DC is equivalent to the predicate device.

It is concluded from the evaluation and the results of the cytotoxicity study that TheraCal DC meets the requirements of the testing.

Conclusion:

It is concluded from review of the predicate device indications, chemical composition, biocompatibility, and physical properties that TheraCal DC is substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the predicate device.
