Intended Use
Myerson Economy Denture Base Material is intended for use in the fabrication of full and partial dentures.
Device Description
The Myerson Economy Denture Base Material is a conventional dough pack heat cure denture base material that consists of a polymethyl methacrylate polymer powder with a heat cure monomer consisting of methyl methacrylate, crosslinker (either EGDMA or TEGDMA), 0-1% UV Light Absorber. The polymer is shaded to simulate the color of gum tissue using pigments that appear on the FDA list of approved products.

No
The device description details a conventional heat cure denture base material made of standard chemical components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

No.
The device is a material used for fabricating dentures, which are prosthetic devices, not therapeutic devices.

No
The intended use statement indicates that the device is "intended for use in the fabrication of full and partial dentures," which describes a manufacturing or restorative function, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices are used to identify a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "conventional dough pack heat cure denture base material" consisting of physical components like polymer powder and monomer, indicating it is a physical material, 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 for the "fabrication of full and partial dentures." This is a manufacturing process for a medical device (dentures), not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details the chemical composition of a material used to create dentures. It does not describe a reagent, instrument, or system used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing diagnostic information

In summary, the Myerson Economy Denture Base Material is a material used to construct a medical device (dentures), not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

510(k) Notification Summary-Myerson Economy Denture Base Material

Myerson Economy Denture Base Material is intended for use in the fabrication of full and partial dentures.

The Myerson Economy Denture Base Material is a conventional dough pack heat cure denture base material that consists of a polymethyl methacrylate polymer powder with a heat cure monomer consisting of methyl methacrylate, crosslinker (either EGDMA or TEGDMA), 0-1% UV Light Absorber.

The polymer is shaded to simulate the color of gum tissue using pigments that appear on the FDA list of approved products.

This product is substantially equivalent to predicate denture base systems currently on the market which are either pre-amendment devices marketed via 510(K) notification.

The safety and effectiveness of these systems are well documented in the dental literature and the subject products have been formulated to comply with the applicable American Dental Association Standards for denture base materials and repair denture base materials.
