The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and chemical properties of a dental cement, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No.
The device is a bonded resin cement used for the cementation of dental restorations, which is a material used in treatment rather than a therapeutic device that provides therapy itself.
No.
The device is a bonding resin cement used for the cementation of indirect dental restorations and as a core build-up material, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a two-component, auto-mixing, dual-cure bonded resin cement, which is a physical material, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that Nexus Universal Self-Cure is a bonded resin cement used for the cementation of indirect dental restorations (veneers, crowns, etc.) to tooth structure and implant abutments. It is a material used in the body, not a device used to test samples from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for bonding dental restorations, not for diagnosing a condition or providing information about a patient's health through testing bodily samples.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the chemical composition and application method of the cement, not on any diagnostic testing capabilities.
Therefore, Nexus Universal Self-Cure is a dental material used for restorative procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

7. Description of Substantial Equivalence:
Kerr Corporations, Nexus Universal Self-Cure is substantially equivalent (as defined in 21 U.S.C. § 360c(i)) for all regulatory purposes to the predicate device Suglue-10 (K110508) manufactured by 3M ESPE. For purposes relevant to this regulatory filing, and as discussed in the previous subsections, technological characteristics, composition and performance testing indicate the substantial equivalence of the Nexus Universal Self-Cure to the predicate device Suglue-10.
a) Technological Characteristics:
The technological principle for both the subject Nexus™ Unviersal and predicate Suglue-10 is the product application as a permanent adhesive (bonded) resin dental cement. A comparison between the technological characteristics of Nexus Universal Self-Cure and that of legally marketed predicated device, Sueglue-10 (K11508) is summarized in Table 5.1, and demonstrates that the design, technology and composition of the Nexus Universal Self-Cure are substantially equivalent. The cement has the capability to polymerize (curing/setting) the adhesive layer on the tooth structure via chemical reaction upon interaction (no light curing of adhesive layer needed). Both the subject device and its predicate consist of base paste and catalyst paste. Both products are packaged in dual barrel syringes, are extruded out via a designated auto-mix syringe tip for ease of delivery, eliminating the need to hand-mixed the base paste and catalyst paste. Both Nexus Universal Self-Cure and the predicate Suglue-10 can be cured/polymerized by application of light from dental curing light (light curing mode).
b) Performance Testing:
The performance data compares the shear bonding strength (to dentin and various restorative substrates), film thickness, sensitivity to ambient light, flexural strength, water sorption, color stability, radiopacity, gel-time (work-time), and set-time of Nexus™ Universal to the predicate Suglue-10. Biocompatibility testing was performed on Nexus Universal per ISO10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process included cytotoxicity, irritation or intracutaneous reactivity, and implantation evaluation. The performance data demonstrates biocompatibility of the device.
c) Clinical Performance Data:
Clinical performance testing has not been completed for this product.

d) Substantial Equivalence Comparison:
The following table (Table 5.1) compares Nexus Universal Self-Cure to the predicate device, Suglue-10 (K110508). Based on the biocompatibility testing, bench testing and performance testing there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the proposed Nexus Universal Self-Cure device to the predicate device Suglue-10 (K110508).
