Intended Use
The THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN is specially developed for heating ThermaFil® endodontic obturators. Do not use the oven for any other purpose.
Device Description
The THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN is a heating unit for obturators. The system allows for individual heating of ThermaFil® gutta percha obturators. Microwave technology is used to produce uniform predictable heating results.
More Information

No
The description focuses on microwave heating technology and does not mention AI or ML.

No
The device is a heating oven used to prepare therapeutic endodontic obturators before their use in treating endodontic issues, and is therefore a preparation device rather than a therapeutic device itself.

No
Explanation: The device is a heating unit for obturators and is not used to diagnose any medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "heating unit" and uses "Microwave technology," indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is specifically for heating endodontic obturators (ThermaFil®). This is a procedure performed on a patient (in vivo), not on a sample taken from a patient (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a heating unit for obturators, used in the context of endodontic procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN is a medical device used in a clinical setting for a therapeutic procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 872.3850 Gutta percha.

(a)
Identification. Gutta percha is a device made from coagulated sap of certain tropical trees intended to fill the root canal of a tooth. The gutta percha is softened by heat and inserted into the root canal, where it hardens as it cools.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9.

THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN TRADE NAME :

21 CFR, 872.3850 Accessory to Gutta Percha CLASSIFICATION NAME:

PREDICATE DEVICE: ThermaPrep® Oven K910224

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN is a heating unit for obturators. The system allows for individual heating of ThermaFil® gutta percha obturators. Microwave technology is used to produce uniform predictable heating results.

The THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN is specially developed for heating INTENDED USE: ThermaFil® endodontic obturators. Do not use the oven for any other purpose.

ThermaPrep® TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: The predicate device, Oven (K910224), heats ThermaFil® endodontic obturators by radiant heat. The new THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN performs the same function by using microwave technology.

Various sizes of ThermaFil® endodontic obturators were heated using the THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN and using the ThermaPrep Oven (K910224). Results showed that heating times for all sizes of obturators were greatly reduced using the THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN.

We believe that the performance data demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of the THERMAPREP® PLUS OVEN for its intended use.
