Yes
The device is intended for the "relief of discomfort from dentin sensitivity," which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as a treatment for discomfort from dentin sensitivity, not a tool for diagnosis. It physically occludes dentinal tubules to relieve discomfort.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical dental strip containing chemical components (calcium, phosphate, fluoride, modified starch) that are topically applied to teeth and dissolve to form a layer. This is a physical medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "Indicated for relief of discomfort from dentin sensitivity." This describes a therapeutic or palliative action on the patient's body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a dental strip applied topically to the tooth surface. It dissolves and releases minerals to physically occlude dentinal tubules. This is a direct treatment applied to the patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing a sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a disease or condition. The device's action is physical and chemical on the tooth itself.
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.

Device Description
CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus is a flavored dental strip which contains calcium, phosphate, and fluoride which are stabilized with a modified starch. The single-use strip is topically applied to the outer surface of a tooth or teeth that are experiencing dental sensitivity. The strip dissolves in salivator elease these minerals which then will precipitate crystals that form a layer over the tooth surfaces. This physically occludes exposed dentinal tubules and enamel porosities to relieve discomfort. The modified starch helps to stabilize the calcium, phosphate, and fluoride mineral components so that they can persity into the dentinal tubules.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Fluoride Release testing determined that fluoride exposure from the CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus lower than the predicate device, however questions of safety or effectiveness are not raised. The ability of CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus to provide relief from tooth hypersensitivity was shown by non-clinical tests demonstrating that it physically occludes exposed dentin tubules. Scanning Electron Micrographs of dentin samples treated by CrystLare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus were compared to micrographs of dentin treated with Relief© ACP Oral Care micrographs of CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus and Relief® ACP Oral Care gel showed similar occlusion of the dentinal tubule occlusion was achieved by the deposition of a fluorohyapatite layer onto the surface of the tooth, as was demonstrated by Electron Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Thus, CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus was shown to be as effective as the Relief© ACP Oral Care gel predicate device in occluding dentin tubules.

CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus is a flavored dental strip which contains calcium, phosphate, and fluoride which are stabilized with a modified starch. The single-use strip is topically applied to the outer surface of a tooth or teeth that are experiencing dental sensitivity. The strip dissolves in salivator elease these minerals which then will precipitate crystals that form a layer over the tooth surfaces. This physically occludes exposed dentinal tubules and enamel porosities to relieve discomfort. The modified starch helps to stabilize the calcium, phosphate, and fluoride mineral components so that they can persity into the dentinal tubules.
Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Indicated for relief of discomfort from dentin sensitivity.
5
Indications for Use Comparison
The indications for use are the predicate, however the predicate's Indication for Use Statement also includes a description of its mechanism of action which was not retained for the subject device Indication for Use statement.
Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
Both CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus and the predicate device, Relief ® ACP Gel, are intended to be used to treat the same condition, Dentinal Hypersensitivity. Both devices have the same mode of action in that they release mineral components in the presence of saliva, and the released minerals crystallize forming a mineral layer onto the tooth surface which physically occludes dentin tubules and enamel porosities. Both devices have chemical composition, including Sodium Fluoride, Potassium Nitrate, apatite forming ingredients (sources of calcium and phosphate ions), thickener, surfactant, flavorant, sweetener, and water. Both products are applied to the tooth surfaces in the area where sensitivity is experienced using a direct placement of strip on teeth for subject device, brushing for predicate device).
There are minor technological differences between the subject and predication form is a dental strip for the subject device and a gel for the predicate device, however both devices release the mineral components in the presence of saliva. The subject device is a single component and does not require mixing, whereas the consists of 2 components contained in a dual barrel syringe that are mixed by means of a mixing nozzle tip at the predicate device can also be applied using a tray method. The subject device is a single professional application, whereas the predicate device can be used 1-2 times daily at home for up to four weeks.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
Fluoride Release testing determined that fluoride exposure from the CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus lower than the predicate device, however questions of safety or effectiveness are not raised. The ability of CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus to provide relief from tooth hypersensitivity was shown by non-clinical tests demonstrating that it physically occludes exposed dentin tubules. Scanning Electron Micrographs of dentin samples treated by CrystLare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus were compared to micrographs of dentin treated with Relief© ACP Oral Care micrographs of CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus and Relief® ACP Oral Care gel showed similar occlusion of the dentinal tubule occlusion was achieved by the deposition of a fluorohyapatite layer onto the surface of the tooth, as was demonstrated by Electron Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Thus, CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Fluoride-Plus was shown to be as effective as the Relief© ACP Oral Care gel predicate device in occluding dentin tubules.
Clinical Testing - Not Applicable
Non-clinical performance testing and biocompatibility testing demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device. CrystLCare™ PRO Biorestorative, Flus is substantially equivalent in intended use, materials, principles of operation, and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
