Endofill (1) is indicated for the permanent obturation of root canals following root canal treatment
Device Description
Endofill is a hydrophilic, radiopaque material intended for permanent obturation of the root canals following root canal treatment. It consists of a liquid, flowable material that is injected into the prepared and cleaned root canal and converted into a solid polymer by photocuring. The cured material remains within the root canal to obturate (seal) it. Endofill is provided ready-to-use in single-use plastic syringes which are sealed inside aluminum-laminate pouches. The Endofill material is the only part of the device that directly contacts the tissue. The syringe in which the material is provided comes in contact with Endofill material, so it contacts the tissue indirectly.

No
The description focuses on the material properties and physical function of the device, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.

The device is intended for permanent obturation (sealing) of root canals, which is a structural rather than a therapeutic function.

No

The device is a material for obturation (sealing) of root canals, which is a treatment procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states that Endofill is a "hydrophilic, radiopaque material" provided in "single-use plastic syringes." This indicates a physical material and delivery system, not a software-only device.

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 "permanent obturation of root canals following root canal treatment." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body to seal the root canal.
  • Device Description: The device is a material injected into the root canal and cured. It directly contacts the tissue within the root canal.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. IVDs are typically used to test blood, urine, tissue samples, etc., to detect diseases, conditions, or states of health.

Therefore, Endofill is a medical device used for a therapeutic purpose within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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

Non-clinical bench performance testing was conducted to provide evidence that the physical-chemical properties of Endofill are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and to support safety and performance of the device for its intended use.
The FDA-recognized consensus standard 4-199 (ISO 6876:2012) specifies the requirements and test methods for root canal (endodontic) sealing materials. Accordingly, flow, film thickness, solubility & disintegration, and radiopacity have been measured.

Dear Mark Bispinghoff:

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.

Device Description Summary
21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)
Endofill is a hydrophilic, radiopaque material intended for permanent obturation of the root canals following root canal treatment. It consists of a liquid, flowable material that is injected into the prepared and cleaned root canal and converted into a solid polymer by photocuring. The cured material remains within the root canal to obturate (seal) it.
Endofill is provided ready-to-use in single-use plastic syringes which are sealed inside aluminum-laminate pouches.
The Endofill material is the only part of the device that directly contacts the tissue. The syringe in which the material is provided comes in contact with Endofill material, so it contacts the tissue indirectly.
Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Endofill is indicated for the permanent obturation of root canals following root canal treatment
Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Endofill and the primary predicate device share an identical Indications for Use statement indicating the products are used for permanent obturation of the root canal following root canal treatment. The additional predicate device's Indications for Use statement lists specific modos of application and includes a statement that is may be used with all conventional endodontic obturation techniques

lists specific modes of application and includes a statement that is may be used with all conventional endodontic obturation techniques.

4

Because the additional predicate may be used with all conventional endodontic obturation techniques, it shares the same intended use with Endofill and the primary predicate device (permanent obturation of the root canal treatment). Therefore, although the Indications for Use language differs between Endofill and the additional predicate device, these differences are not critical to the intended use of the device and do not affectiveness of the device when used as labeled.

Technological Comparison

21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)

Endofill has the same technological characteristics when compared to the primary and additional predicated to type of use, target users, material characteristics, principle of operation, treatment site, sterility, delivery form, packaging, and material compatibility.

Minor differences in the basic chemical composition, curing mechanism, and material properties tested were determined not to raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. The subject and the primary predicate device both form a crosslinked, insoluble hydrogel polymer upon curing and are composed of a cross-linkable compound, a solvent, a radiopacifier, and an initiator.

Endofill complies with the performance requirements set out in ISO68762012 and the biocompatibility requirements of ISO 10993-1:2018 and ISO7405:2018. Therefore, despite some differences in the basic chemical composition, performance, and safety (biocompatibility), test results support that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)

Non-clinical bench performance testing was conducted to provide evidence that the physical-chemical properties of Endofill are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and to support safety and performance of the device for its intended use.

The FDA-recognized consensus standard 4-199 (ISO 6876:2012) specifies the requirements and test methods for root canal (endodontic) sealing materials. Accordingly, flow, film thickness, solubility & disintegration, and radiopacity have been measured.
