The summary describes a resin material used in 3D printing for dental aligners and the associated manufacturing process, including scanning, design software, printing, and post-curing. While the design software (3Shape Ortho System™) is mentioned as having capabilities for virtual planning and simulating tooth movements, the summary does not explicitly state that this software, or any other component of the system, utilizes AI or ML for these functions. The focus is on the material properties and the manufacturing workflow.
Yes
Explanation: The device is a series of clear aligners intended for the treatment of tooth malocclusions, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
This device, TERA HARZ CLEAR, is described as a material (light-cured, methacrylate-based resin) used to create clear aligners for teeth treatment, not a device that performs diagnosis. The diagnostic steps (scanning and design software for planning) are separate components used in conjunction with this material.
No
The device described is a physical clear aligner made from a light-cured resin. While its fabrication relies on software and hardware (scanners, design software, 3D printers, post-cure units), the device itself is a tangible medical device, 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 for the "treatment of tooth malocclusions" by physically moving teeth. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens.
- Device Description: The device is a material (resin) used to fabricate clear aligners, which are physical appliances worn by the patient to apply force to teeth. It's a component in a manufacturing process for a medical device (the aligner).
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a condition, analyze biological samples, or provide information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.
- Regulatory Classification: The associated devices mentioned (intraoral scanner, design software) are classified under regulations related to dental devices and orthodontic appliances, not IVDs.
In summary, TERA HARZ CLEAR is a material used in the fabrication of a dental appliance (clear aligners) for the treatment of a physical condition (malocclusion). It does not perform any diagnostic function on biological specimens.

Device Description
TERA HARZ CLEAR is a series of clear aligners that are used to replace traditional orthodontic wires and brackets for the alignment of maloccluded or misaligned teeth.
This series of aligner is intended for the treatment of tooth malocclusions in patients with permanent dentition (i.e., all second molars) by moves the teeth gently, and in small increments, from their original to their final treated position for improved dental alignment. This series of aligner is worn for approximately 1 week of 20 to 22 hours per day after (However, there are to be removed for eating and for cleaning) which it is replaced by the next stage aligners and are designed to be used in a sequence. This is repeated for duration as prescribed by the dental clinician.
TERA HARZ CLEAR is a light-cured, methacrylate-based resin commonly can used in additive manufacturing for the production of dental structures such as sequential aligners.
TERA HARZ CLEAR has stored in a black 1,000 g of HDPE bottle. It contains materials with colors of yellowish. This device is a liquid photo-curable material that is polymerized by UV laser at 405412 nm. It can be used to make a tooth model with a photo-curable polymer that is cured by ultraviolet light. The liquid UV curing resin is cured at a specific wavelength (395405 nm) by the photo-initiator contained in the resin. It is typically 100 um in thickness and is output at a resolution of 40 to 90 µm on the x, y axis, and it is possible to produce three-dimensional printed matter by curing lamination step by step a thickness of 100 um.
However, scanner, design software, 3D printer and post-cure unit are not included with the device.
These fabrications of TERA HARZ CLEAR are beginning with the dental clinician prescribing aligners to treat a patient's malocclusion, and decision to use methacrylate based resins is made by the dental clinician. TERA HARZ CLEAR, an orthodontic appliance such as sequential aligner, is manufactured in a 3D printer that is compatible.
The dental clinician can generate a digital file by scanning the patient's mouth directly using listed with Intraoral scanner under FDA Classification Product Code NOF, regulation 872.3661.
This digital file is a series of CAD files (.stl) for building models that can be used to fabricate aligners. Commonly used standard dental software is used by dental professionals to virtually design a sequential aligner and generate an industry-standard "STL" 3D dataset which reflects the intended shape and contour. The design software used is 3Shape Ortho System™ by 3Shape A/S (K180941). The specialized orthodontic treatment planning software has a 510k clearance for the intended use under FDA Classification Product Code PNN, regulation 872.5470. This software is used for management of 3D scanned orthodontic models, orthodontic diagnosis by measuring, analyzing, inspecting and visualizing 3D scanned orthodontic models, virtual planning of orthodontic treatments by simulating tooth movements, and design of sequential aligners based on 3D scanned orthodontic models.
Once dental clinic manufacturing unit receive the data that *.stl CAD files of the treatment plan the 3D printer begins additive manufacturing. The dental clinician generates sequential 3D printed models replicating the approved treatment plan. The sequential aligner is 3D printed and cured in a post-cure unit. The fabricated aligners are cut to fit dentition, the cleaned and polished to remove rough edges by the dental clinician. The prescribing physician review and approves the sequential aligners are provides them to the patient the confirming fit and design.

VII. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The indications for use and mechanism of action of subject device is identical to the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
However, there is a main difference in the predicate device because the materials of use and the manufacturing process are differed.
So, Dental LT Clear Resin (V2) is selected as a reference device to support method of processing and raw material.
So that, TERA HARZ CLEAR performed testing as that of each predicate device. All test results of Flexural Strength, Flexural Modulus,Water Solubility, and Water Sorption was similar to that of the predicate device that meet the requirements of ISO 20795-2:2013. The performance characteristics of the TERA HARZ CLEAR are comparable to those of the predicate device for this particular indication and raise no new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the subject device and the predicate device are substantially equivalent in physical properties.
Any differences in technology characteristics are accompanied by information that demonstrated the device is as safe and as effective as the predicate device and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate.
It was concluded, therefore, that the technological differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

VIII. PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Manufacturing Validation
A manufacturing validation was performed to demonstrate the manufacturing process for TERA HARZ CLEAR.
An independent 3rd party software and digital calipers were used to perform point-to- point and critical displacement measurement. All translational measurements were within 0.150 mm of the target input value, the predefined tolerance of the manufacturing process. There were no statistical differences in the difference in the intended and measured values observed from any of the groups. This test has met the pre-established acceptance criteria.
And the test also conducted studies on the effect of manufacturing validation and material reuse on the properties of the final finished device according to FDA's published guidance documents, "Technical Considerations for Additive Manufactured Medical Devices".
The TERA HARZ CLEAR were outputted by each different output condition and each flexural strength were measured and the evaluation criteria of the all the specimens were more than 50 MPa. The optimal output condition is that the output angle is 30°, and the output position is centered to confirming that the optimal condition is to be output.
In addition, it was confirmed that there was no problem in the number of effective outputs for repeated material output up to 7 times.
Performance Testing
Bench testing was performed to ensure the accuracy of the final product carried through the entire process from the initial intraoral scan through treatment planning and manufacturing process of the final finished aligner.
In addition, bench testing was conducted on both the subject device and the predicate device (Blue Sky Bio Aligner, K180107) to evaluate critical properties including Flexural Strength, Flexural Modulus, Water Solubility, Water absorption and etc. All met the requirements of ISO 20795-2:2013, Dentistry - Base Polymers -Part 2: Orthodontic base polymers.

X. CONCLUSIONS
The TERA HARZ CLEAR is very similar to the predicate device and demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate device K180107 in physical properties.
An analysis for subject device compared to the predicate device show TERA HARZ CLEAR and the Blue Sky Bio Aligner meet the requirements of Manufacturing Validation, all two devices share the same product code, meet the requirements, and all two are biocompatible.
In addition, an analysis for subject device compared to the predicate device show TERA HARZ CLEAR and the Blue Sky Bio Aligner meet the requirements of ISO 20795-2:2013, Dentistry – Base Polymers – Part 2: Orthodontic base polymers. All two devices meet or exceed the minimum strength requirements, and all two are biocompatible.
