The summary describes a resin material used in a standard CAD/CAM workflow for dental restorations. There is no mention of AI or ML being used in the design software, manufacturing process, or any other aspect of the device's function. The performance studies focus on material properties and manufacturing validation, not algorithmic performance.
No
The device is a material used to fabricate dental restorations, which are considered devices for mechanical support or replacement, not for therapy in the sense of treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is a material (light-cured methacrylate-based resin) used in 3D printers to fabricate temporary or permanent dental restorations. It does not diagnose any condition or disease.
No
The device is a light-cured methacrylate-based resin, which is a physical material used in 3D printing. While it is part of a CAD/CAM system that includes software, the device itself is a tangible substance, 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 fabricate dental restorations (crowns, bridges, etc.) for placement in the mouth. This is a therapeutic or restorative purpose, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is a resin used in a manufacturing process to create physical dental prosthetics. It is not used to test samples from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for medical purposes. This device is a material used in a manufacturing process to create a medical device (a dental restoration).

The Subject device is used by a dental technician for the CAD/CAM manufacturing of temporary dental restorations.
Restorations fabricated using the Subject device are one-time use, prescription-only devices. The Subject device is a viscous solution consisting of methacrylate-based resins, photo initiators and pigments.
A commonly used dental CAD software is used by dental professionals to virtually design a fixed indirect restoration and generate an industry-standard "STL" 3D dataset which reflects the intended shape and contour. The Subject resin is used within a validated manufacturing workflow to create the intended restoration. The Subject device is available in a variety of optional shades to reproduce the intended tooth shade of the restoration. Methacrylates are known materials, commonly used in the dental industry for fixed and removable prosthetic devices due to their physical-chemical, mechanical, and biocompatible properties.

Dear Prithul Bom:
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 Technological Characteristics of the Subject and Predicate devices are the Same or Highly Similar.
Intended Use - The Subject and Predicate devices are same Highly Similar in their intended use, differing only in reference to the device name.
Material/Chemical Composition - The Subject and Predicate devices are same Highly Similar in they are both methacrylate polymer resins. Slight differences in chemical composition do not change the intended use of the Subject and Predicate devices to be used in the fabrication of permanent or temporary dental prostheses. The materials are an alternative to traditional heat cured and auto polymerization resins.
The Subject device has demonstrated suitability for intended use through material non-clinical performance testing.
Polymerization (Curing) Method - The Subject and Predicate devices are same Highly Similar in they are both light-cured polymer resins. Slight differences in the curing light wavelength does not changed use of the Subject and Predicate devices to be used in the fabrication of dental prostheses.
Performance Testing - The material performance standards used for testing the Subject and Predicate devices are highly similar, differing only in release date of the Subject device was tested to the most recent versions of ISO 4049 and ISO 10477. The material performance requirements of both standards did not change in the new release dates of each document. The Subject, Predicate and Reference devices all meet the material performance requirements of both the ISO 4049 and ISO 10477 documents.
Biocompatibility - The Subject and Predicate devices are similar in the standards and biological endpoints the devices were evaluated to. Slight differences in the standards and tested endpoints do not change the intended use of the Subject and Predicate devices.
Technological differences between the Subject and Predicate devices have been evaluated through non-clinical performance testing. The results of the tests performed show that Subject device meets the requirements mentioned in the applicable standards and confirm that the Subject device performs similarly to Predicate and Reference devices.
