Explanation: The device is intended for direct bonding of orthodontic brackets, which is a structural application rather than a therapeutic one that treats or prevents a disease.
No
BrackFix is described as being for "Direct bonding of orthodontic metal and ceramic brackets," which indicates a therapeutic or restorative purpose, not a diagnostic one.
Unknown
The provided 510(k) summary is incomplete and lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only.
Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "Direct bonding of orthodontic metal and ceramic brackets." This describes a procedure performed directly on a patient's teeth, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in a laboratory setting.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples.
- Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
- Using reagents or assays.
The device appears to be a material or system used for physically attaching orthodontic brackets to teeth. This falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment or correction, not for in vitro diagnosis.

Dear T. Gerkensmeier:
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 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.html; 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.
