No
The summary describes a root canal filling material and its physical properties and performance, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
CeraSeal is used for permanent obturation (filling) of the root canal after pulp removal, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating the root canal.

No

The device description states its purpose is for "root canal filling" and "permanent obturation of the root canal," which are therapeutic treatments, not diagnostic processes.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "flowable paste" and a "material," indicating it is a physical substance used for root canal filling, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The provided description clearly states that CeraSeal is a material used for filling root canals after the removal of infected pulp tissue. It is a physical material applied directly to an anatomical site (the root canal) within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the permanent obturation (filling) of the root canal. This is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical form (flowable paste), application method (using a disposable tip), and curing process (by absorbing ambient water). These are characteristics of a medical device used for treatment, not an IVD.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing a sample, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on a test performed on a bodily fluid or tissue sample.

In summary, CeraSeal is a dental material used for a therapeutic procedure (root canal filling), not a diagnostic test performed in vitro.

Dear April Lee:

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.
