Intended Use
The Custom-made Invisible Aligners is indicated for the treatment of tooth malocclusion in patients with permanent dentition (i.e., all second molars). The Custom-made Invisible Aligner positions teeth by way of continuous gentle force.
Device Description
The Custom-made Invisible Aligners System is a series of dental aligners that fabricated of clear, thin thermoformed plastic to progressively reposition the teeth. The product is made from a composite multilayer material with thermoplastic polyurethane and polyethylene terephthalate-1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol ester (TPU+PETG). Corrective force to reposition the teeth is delivered via minor changes into a position in each subsequent aligner. They are designed to move the teeth to the target position and deliver desired clinical effect.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical device (aligners) and associated software for ordering and processing, but there is no mention of AI or ML being used in the design, manufacturing process, or treatment planning. The software is described as having a "moderate" level of concern, which is less likely to involve complex AI/ML algorithms.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of tooth malocclusion, and it progressively repositions teeth to achieve a desired clinical effect, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No.

The device is a Custom-made Invisible Aligner designed for the treatment of tooth malocclusion by progressively repositioning teeth, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is a series of physical dental aligners made of plastic material. While software is mentioned for ordering and processing, the core medical device is a physical product.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The Custom-made Invisible Aligners are physical devices used to apply force to teeth to correct malocclusion. They are used directly on the patient's teeth within the oral cavity.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the collection or analysis of any biological specimens from the patient. The device's function is mechanical and directly applied to the anatomical site.

Therefore, the Custom-made Invisible Aligners fall under the category of a medical device used for treatment, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device used for diagnostic testing of specimens.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Bench testing has demonstrated that the device is in compliance with pertinent standards and specifications, the expectations of the dental community and the product labeling. Performance testing was performed to the subject device including thickness, appearance, odor, density, water absorption, dissolution, color stability, tear resistance, Tensile modulus of elasticity to demonstrate its effectiveness. Manufacturing accuracy validation were conducted to the Custom-made Invisible Aligners. Aligners from 12 different patient case were evaluated at the beginning, middle and end throughout the sequence. The accuracy of 3D molding and aligner molding are checked and meet the pre-established specification. The suitability, function and form of the aligner were checked and comparing it to the treatment design in the software, and the results were complied with the pre-established specifications and acceptance criteria. A 3-year shelf life was determined by accelerated aging testing. Performance testing were conducted after 81 days of accelerated aging under 60°C. The test results showed conformity with the pre-established specifications and acceptance criteria.

Dear Ivy Wang:

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.

G. Non-clinical Test

1) Performance Testing

Bench testing has demonstrated that the device is in compliance with pertinent standards and specifications, the expectations of the dental community and the product labeling. Performance testing was performed to the subject device including thickness, appearance, odor, density, water absorption, dissolution, color stability, tear resistance, Tensile modulus of elasticity to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Manufacturing validation accuracy testing

Manufacturing accuracy validation were conducted to the Custom-made Invisible Aligners. Aligners from 12 different patient case were evaluated at the beginning, middle and end throughout the sequence. The accuracy of 3D molding and aligner molding are checked and meet the pre-established specification. The suitability, function and form of the aligner were checked and comparing it to the treatment design in the software, and the results were complied with the pre-established specifications and acceptance criteria.

Shelf life – 3 years

A 3-year shelf life was determined by accelerated aging testing. Performance testing were conducted after 81 days of accelerated aging under 60°C. The test results showed conformity with the pre-established specifications and acceptance criteria.

2) Biocompatibility Testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the device was conducted in accordance with "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation and testing within a risk management process -- Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff" as recognized by FDA. The aligner is considered mucosal membrane contacting for a duration of greater than 30 days. The testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity ●
  • Irritation

7

K223454

  • Sensitization
  • Sub chronic systemic toxicity
  • Genotoxicity

The results of the testing met the requirements of the study protocols and the material is considered non-toxic, non-sensitizing and is not an intracutaneous irritant. The results of the studies further support a determination of substantial equivalence.

  1. Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted on the software that facilitates ordering and processing of the Custom-made Invisible Aligner to support that the device is as safe and effective as the predicates. Documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern.

H. Clinical Test Conclusion

No clinical study is included in this submission.

l. Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device K203624.
