Device Description
ReminGel is a convenient, premixed, ready-to-use, opaque aqueous-based gel. ReminGel consists of suspended hydroxyapatite and calcium and phosphate salts that help restore a tooth's hydroxyapatite structure through remineralization. This remineralization results in tubule occlusion and blocks fluid flow in dentinal tubules, thereby relieving dentinal sensitivity. ReminGel blocks nerve excitability through potassium release. ReminGel is packaged in a 3oz (90mL) tube. ReminGel is for prescription use (Rx) and over-the-counter (OTC) use. ReminGel can be applied to teeth using dental appliances (e.g. fluoride tray, whitening tray, periotray, etc.) or via a toothbrush.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical and physical properties of the gel and its effect on tooth structure, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device's intended use is "To relieve dental hypersensitivity," which is a therapeutic purpose. It directly treats a condition by remineralizing teeth, occluding tubules, and blocking nerve excitability.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly state that ReminGel is a treatment for dental hypersensitivity, focusing on remineralization and blocking fluid flow and nerve excitability. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or process diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states that ReminGel is an "opaque aqueous-based gel" consisting of suspended hydroxyapatite and calcium and phosphate salts, which are physical substances. It is packaged in a tube and applied using dental appliances or a toothbrush. This indicates a physical product, 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 to relieve dental hypersensitivity by acting directly on the tooth structure (remineralization and tubule occlusion) and potentially nerve excitability. This is a therapeutic action within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a gel applied to the teeth, which is consistent with a topical therapeutic device, not a diagnostic reagent or instrument.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing a sample (blood, urine, saliva, etc.) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status. The device's action is directly on the affected tissue.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

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

Non-Clinical Performance Testing and Compliance:

  • Tubule Occlusion Testing: An in vitro tubule occlusion study was performed on resected human teeth using ReminGel and Super Seal. Identical to the predicate device (Super Seal), ReminGel visibly occluded dentinal tubules demonstrating that the product will inhibit dentin sensitivity.
  • Shelf-Life Testing: Through accelerated shelf life testing, ReminGel was found to have a shelf-life of two years. Real time aging is being performed on ReminGel to support shelf life during typical storage conditions.
  • Transit Testing: This test confirms that the packaging configurations are sufficient and withstand simulated transit conditions. Moreover, the products performed satisfactory post-transit, which confirms that transit did not have a negative effect on the products themselves.
  • Cytotoxicity Testing: ReminGel was found to yield better cytotoxicity results compared to the predicate device, SuperSeal.
  • Irritation Testing: ReminGel was found to be a non-irritant.
  • Sensitization Testing: ReminGel was found to be a non-sensitizing agent.

Similarities between the subject device (ReminGel) and the predicate and reference device (Super Seal and Senzzz Away, respectively).

  • ReminGel has nearly identical indications for use as its predicate device (Super Seal); the only ● differences are nuanced descriptions for "bleaching" versus "whitening".
  • ReminGel is classified under product code LBH, with respect to 21 CFR 872.3260 and the ● common name "Cavity Varnish", which is identical to that of the predicate device (Super Seal) and reference device (Senzzz Away).
  • ReminGel has identical intended population use as the predicate device (Super Seal) and ● reference device (Senzzz Away) and is used in the same anatomical location.
  • Identical to the predicate device (Super Seal) and reference device (Senzzz Away), ReminGel is a single component product.
  • ReminGel uses a similar mechanism of action to relieve dental hypersensitivity (i.e. dentinal ● occlusion) compared to the predicate device (Super Seal) and the reference device (Senzzz Away).

  • The minor difference in mechanism of action between the use of hydroxyapatite O formation and oxalate precipitate does not raise concern and the subject device remains substantially equivalent.
  • ReminGel has an application time which is similar to the predicate device (Super Seal) and reference device (Senzzz Away). Because ReminGel helps remineralize dentin with its constituents, the nature of body contact classification is external communicating device with permanent contact with tissue/bone/dentin, which is equivalent to the predicate device (Super Seal) and reference device (Senzzz Away).
    • The minor difference in application time between minutes and seconds does not raise O concern since the precipitate formation is slightly different and ReminGel has been deemed safe and effective for its intended use.
  • ReminGel composition contains a potassium salt which is identical to the predicate device ● (Super Seal) and reference device (Senzzz Away).
    • The difference in composition such as other ionic salts, sweetener, flavoring, and O thickeners do not raise concern since the precipitate formation is slightly different and biocompatibility testing confirms the product is biocompatible for its intended use.
  • ReminGel's shelf life of two years is identical to the predicate device (Super Seal) and ● reference device (Senzzz Away).
  • Identical to the predicate device (Super Seal) and reference device (Senzzz Away), ReminGel . is an aqueous-based material and is commercialized non-sterile.
  • Identical to the reference device (Senzzz Away), ReminGel is for prescription use (Rx) and . over-the-counter use (OTC).

ReminGel shares similar intended use, technical characteristics, and composition to the predicate and reference devices. Therefore, ReminGel is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and poses no additional safety or efficacy risks.

Discussion of Differences between the subject device (ReminGel) and the predicate and reference device (Super Seal and Senzzz Away, respectively)

  • . The formulation of ReminGel is different than the predicate device (Super Seal) and reference device (Senzzz Away). Specifically, ReminGel contains other ingredients (salts, buffering agents, pH modifier, sweetener, flavoring) that are not explicitly present in the predicate device or reference device.
    • The difference in composition such as other ionic salts, sweetener, flavoring, and o thickeners do not raise concern since the precipitate formation is slightly different and biocompatibility testing confirms the product is biocompatible for its intended use. Additionally, the sweetener and flavoring is added for user satisfaction.
    • Therefore, the subject device remains substantially equivalent to its predicate device. O
  • ReminGel is applied using dental appliances (e.g. fluoride tray, whitening tray, periotray, etc.) or via a toothbrush, whereas the predicate device (Super Seal) is applied directly to the affected area

using a cotton pellet or microsponge and the reference device (Senzzz Away) is applied directly to the affected area.

  • This difference does not raise any significant concerns as the ReminGel was confirmed to O be biocompatible as the device passed relevant tests within ISO 7405:2018.
  • Therefore, the subject device remains substantially equivalent to its predicate device. O
  • ReminGel is packaged in a plastic 3oz (90mL) tube as compared to an 8mL bottle (predicate ● device. Super Seal) or multi-use vial (reference device. Senzzz Away).
    • This difference does not raise any significant concerns as it is simply a volume difference O offered to users. Additionally, the medical devices are applied in slightly different techniques resulting in different package volumes.
  • ReminGel is for prescription use (Rx) and over-the-counter use (OTC), whereas the predicate device (Super Seal) is for prescription use (Rx) only.
    • Reference is made to the reference device (Senzzz Away) which is for prescription use o (Rx) and over-the-counter use (OTC) and bears many similarities to the subject device as discussed in the previous section.
