Not Found

No
The summary describes a light-cure resin for 3D printing denture bases and the associated performance and biocompatibility testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would typically indicate the presence of AI/ML.

No

The device is a material used for the manufacturing of denture bases, which are prosthetic devices, not therapeutic devices. Therapeutic devices are typically used for treatment or diagnosis.

No

This device is a light-cure resin for manufacturing denture bases, which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one. Its intended use is to "support artificial teeth to form full or partial removable dentures," and the performance studies focus on mechanical properties and biocompatibility, not detection or diagnosis of a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Light-Cure Resin" and a "combination of acrylate-based light-cure resin with pigments," which are physical materials, not software. The 510(k) summary focuses on the material properties and performance of this resin.

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 manufacturing of denture bases to support artificial teeth. This is a structural component for a medical device (denture), not a test performed on a biological sample to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a light-cure resin used in a 3D printer to create a physical object (denture base). It doesn't involve analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Use in a laboratory setting for diagnostic purposes (beyond a dental lab for fabrication)

The testing described (bench testing, biocompatibility, shelf-life) is typical for a medical device that comes into contact with the body, but not specifically for an IVD.

Device Description

NextDent Base is a combination of acrylate-based light-cure resin with pigments, polymerized via photo initiators in a 3D printer setting for fabrication of denture bases to support artificial teeth to form full or partial removable dentures. Fabrication of denture bases with NextDent Base requires a VAT based 3D printer that supports NextDent resins. Printer and resin must be optimized to each other to get complete and precise printed parts. Both the NextDentTM 5100 Figure4® 3D printer and the post-curing lightbox NextDentTM LC-3DPrint Box make use of a UV light source to polymerize the NextDent Base resin. NextDentTM5100 Figure4® 3D printer or NextDentTM LC-3DPrint Box is not included with the device. Cured parts are finished using conventional dental methods and instruments. NextDent 3D printed cured parts should be cleaned with nonchemical products.

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

NextDent Base is tested for mechanical characteristics as part of the product specification. The most applicable standard for mechanical characteristics determination of denture bases is ISO 20795-1:2013 Dentistry - Base polymers - Part 1 Denture base polymers.
Biocompatibility Testing: According to both ISO 7405:2018 and ISO 10993-1: 2018 NextDent Base is considered a surface device, in contact with intact oral mucosa, permanent (> 30 days), repeated use. The ISO 10993-1:2018 standard, including parts 3, 5, 10, 12, 17, 18 and 23 was followed and the following applicable biological safety hazard endpoints were addressed:
• Chemical characterization
• Cytotoxicity
• Acute systemic toxicity
• Subacute/sub chronic toxicity
• Irritation or intracutaneous reactivity
• Sensitization
• Genotoxicity
In addition, the following risks were considered based on a risk assessment, taking into account the specific nature and duration of exposure to the device
• Material mediated pyrogenicity
• Chronic toxicity
• Presence of phthalates
In addition, ISO 10993-17 and -18 and ISO/TS 21726 were followed to identify and quantitate the extractables and/or leachables that may be released from the test article to NextDent Base is compliant to the applicable requirements defined in ISO 10993 including parts 1, 3, 5, 10, 12, 17, 18 and 23, ISO 7405 and ISO/TS 21726 for permanent medical devices and therefore biocompatible.

Bench Testing: NextDent Base is tested according to the methods in the industry standard ISO 20795-1:2013 Dentistry – Base polymers - Part 1 Denture base polymers. NextDent Base is compliant to the requirements defined in ISO 20795-2:2013 for Type 4 light activated material except for ultimate flexural strength, flexural modulus and water solubility. Comparative testing showed that elasticity and impact resistance properties are substantially equivalent to the predicate. NextDent Base is regarding water solubility compliant to requirements defined in ISO 20795-1:2013 for type 2 autopolymerizable materials. The following bench tests are conducted on NextDent Base: Surface characteristics Polishability Color Color stability Translucency Freedom from porosity Ultimate flexural strength Flexural modulus Charpy impact strength Bonding to synthetic polymer teeth Sorption Solubility Dynamic fatigue Fracture work. The mechanical performance of NextDent Base printed on the NextDent 5100 printer is verified confirming its sufficient repeatability and robustness regarding print orientation, placement, and resin reuse.

Reprocessing, Sterility and Shelf-Life Testing: The device is provided non-sterile. From the Shelf-life testing, NextDent Base has a shelf life of two years.

Key Results: The results of the performed tests show that NextDent Base meets the applicable requirements of ISO 20795-1:2013 Dentistry - Base polymers – Part 1 Denture base polymers and confirm that the device performs similarly to the predicate device. It is therefore concluded that NextDent Base performs as intended and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Patsy Trisler, Jd, Rac:

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 (the 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 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.

• Sensitization
• Genotoxicity

In addition, the following risks were considered based on a
risk assessment, taking into account the specific nature and
duration of exposure to the device
• Material mediated pyrogenicity
• Chronic toxicity
• Presence of phthalates
