The summary describes a ceramic material for manufacturing dental restorations and focuses on its material properties and biocompatibility testing. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No
Explanation: This device is a ceramic material used to manufacture dental restorations. It is a component used in the creation of a therapeutic device (the dental restoration itself), but it is not a therapeutic device on its own.
No
The device is a ceramic material used to manufacture dental restorations. It is a material used for treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "prefabricated ceramic block" and describes its physical properties and manufacturing process, indicating it is a physical material, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to manufacture dental restorations (inlays, artificial teeth, crowns, and bridges). This is a structural and restorative purpose within the body, not for diagnosing a condition based on in vitro examination of specimens.
- Device Description: The device is a ceramic block used to create physical dental prosthetics. It's a material for fabrication, not a test or assay.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information. The performance studies focus on material properties and biocompatibility, which are relevant to implanted or placed medical devices, not IVDs.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is entirely different.

Dear Peter 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. 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
1
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/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) 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).
