The description focuses on the camera's optical and sensor technology, different illumination modes (blue, white, yellow), and how these modes highlight specific features (caries, plaque, inflammation) for the dental practitioner's aid. There is no mention of algorithms, learning, or automated analysis beyond simple image capture and display with different lighting. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly "Not Found".
No
The device aids in diagnosis and visualization, but does not provide any treatment or therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the C50 is "as an aid in the diagnosis of pit and fissure caries, as an aid to highlight dental plaque and gingival inflammations". The "Device Description" also notes that "the dental practitioner can use the images displayed on the computer screen as an aid in diagnosis."
No
The device description clearly states it is an intraoral video camera equipped with LEDs, optics, and a CMOS sensor, which are hardware components. The performance studies also include testing of mechanical, electrical, and photobiological aspects of the hardware.
Based on the provided information, the C50 device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The C50 is an intraoral camera that directly examines the inside of the mouth (teeth and gums) in vivo (within the living body). It does not analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue that have been removed from the body.
- The intended use describes direct visualization and aid in diagnosis based on visual information. The device captures images of the oral cavity and uses fluorescence technology to highlight certain features. The diagnosis is made by the dental practitioner based on these images, not on the results of a test performed on a specimen.
The C50 is a medical device used for imaging and visualization within the oral cavity to assist in diagnosis, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
C50 is intended for clinical practice of general dentistry, as an aid in the diagnosis of pit and fissure caries, as an aid to highlight dental plaque and gingival inflammations (restricted to gingival inflammations which lead to bleeding upon probing) and as intra-oral camera to visualize anatomical details invisible to the naked eye or with a mirror (thanks to magnification).

Device Description
The C50 is an intraoral video camera equipped with LEDs to illuminate the inspection site. The C50 optics and its complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor capture the natural fluorescence of the site under observation and convert the images into a video signal that is sent to the computer via a USB interface. The dental practitioner can use the images displayed on the computer screen as an aid in diagnosis. A USB Type-C (camera) to USB-A cable is provided to connect the C50 to a computer. The C50 provides the following functions: Aid in the detection of pit and fissure caries Information about patient dental hygiene Highlighting of dental plaque Highlighting of gingival inflammations (restricted to gingival inflammations which lead to bleeding upon probing) Showing the difference between "before" and "after" care (follow-up). In CARIO mode (blue mode), the camera assists the dental practitioner by highlighting potential carious areas in pits and fissures on the occlusal surface of the teeth. In DAYLIGHT mode (white mode), the camera enables visualization of anatomical details invisible to the naked eye or with a mirror (thanks to its magnification). DAYLIGHT+ mode (white mode) is a shortcut version of DAYLIGHT mode where the contrast has been pushed from 20 to 70. In PERIO mode (yellow mode), the camera helps the dental practitioner to visualize dental plaque, in addition to highlighting areas of gingival inflammation (restricted to gingival inflammation that leads to bleeding upon probing).

Discussion: The modified C50 intraoral camera is very similar to the predicate device SOPROCARE in terms of design, size and weight specifications. Patient contacting materials of the modified and predicate devices are identical in formulation, manufacturing process, processing and geometry.
The On-Screen Display (OSD) of the C50 allows the device to be used with other imaging software (OIS), including Twain or Sopro SDK integration.
The subject device C50 offers Full HD resolution instead of the predicate NTSC resolution, thus enhancing image quality. The C50 is connected to a computer by means of a USB cable.
The C50 intraoral camera is intended for use with legally marketed protective sheaths cleared by FDA as a barrier sleeve for intraoral cameras (product code PEM).
Performance Design verification and validation testing to support determination of substantial equivalence Testing: consisted of the following tests:
- Comparison testing of image quality, sharpness, size, resolution, focus position and potential elevation in the temperature target tissue have been performed using the C50 and the third-party protective sheath and the accessory C50TIPS and have been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
- Mechanical performance testing was performed on reprocessed C50TIPS to ensure that the device maintains its position on the C50 camera and completely blocks all external light.
- Mechanical testing was performed with regard to fit of the third-party protective sheath with the C50 and the accessory C50TIPS.
- . Electrical safety testing & EMC
Electrical (IEC 60601-1 and collateral standards) and EMC testing were conducted on the C50 device, consistent with the appropriate sections of the following current standards:
- o IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance and IEC 60601-1-2 "Medical electrical equipment -Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance – Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances – Requirements and tests.
- o IEC/TR 60601-4-2 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 4-2: Guidance and interpretation – Electromagnetic immunity: performance of medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems
- Photobiological safety testing was conducted on the C50 device, consistent with the appropriate section of the following current standard: IEC 62471 Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems.
- Software validation was performed on the C50's firmware consistent with the appropriate section of the following current standard: IEC 62304 Software life cycle process.

- . Reprocessing validation testing was conducted on the C50, C50TIPS and USB cable in accordance with the recommendations outlined in FDA Guidance Document: "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling."
- . Biocompatibility testing
The patient contact materials of C50TIPS were evaluated in accordance with the requirements of international standard ISO 10993-1 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices) and FDA Guidance Document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices -Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process". The following biocompatibility tests were considered:
Chemical caracterization Cytotoxicity Acute Systemic Toxicity
Acceptance criteria were met for all tests performed.
- The subject device C50 and its accessories have the same intended use and similar Conclusion: technological characteristics as the predicate device SOPROCARE and the associated accessories. The information provided in this 510(k) submission indicates that the C50 intraoral camera and its accessories (intraoral tip, handpiece holder and USB cable) are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
