No
The summary describes a traditional orthodontic adhesive with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is an adhesive for attaching orthodontic appliances to teeth, which is a supportive material for a therapeutic process (orthodontic treatment) but not a therapeutic device itself as it doesn't directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The document describes the device as an orthodontic bonding adhesive used for attaching appliances to teeth, focusing on its physical properties and intended use as a sealant and paste. It does not mention any function for identifying, monitoring, or predicting diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a single component sealant and paste, which are physical materials, 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 "attachment of orthodontic appliances to teeth." This is a direct application to the patient's body for a therapeutic purpose (orthodontic treatment).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and handling characteristics of the adhesive for bonding orthodontic appliances.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "teeth," which are part of the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform such tests.

The device is an orthodontic adhesive, which is a medical device used for bonding purposes in the mouth.

BACKGROUND

Methacrylate ester monomer based adhesives have been used successfully for over thirty years to bond appliances to teeth during orthodontic treatment procedures. Early examples of these products were chemically cured ( autocure ) materials that required the mixing of a catalyst and base resin by the orthodontist immediately prior to positioning the bracket on the tooth. Because the working time of these materials was so unpredictable due to the effects of temperature and aging, many times the orthodontist would have to reposition the appliance and repeat the bonding process.

In 1992, Ormco Corportation introduced a product, "Sequence" (FDA Reference No. K914627) that employed a visible light curing initiation system for curing. Sequence was not time dependent and allowed the orthodontist to correctly position the bracket before curing with a 10 -20 second exposure to intense visible light. It is the next generation of visible light curing orthodontic adhesives that is the subject of this 510 ( k ) submission.

    1. Enlight provides flouride release for caries protection during the orthodontic treatment period.

SAFETY

The safety of Ormco Enlight adhesive has been demonstrated by subjecting cured samples of the material to three biocompatibility tests as recommended in the ISO 10993 biocompatibility guidance standard. This testing was conducted by an independent laboratory which specializes in safety and toxicity evaluation.

    1. Test Type: Cytotoxicity Study ( Agarose Overlay )
    1. Test Type: Mucosal irritation in the rabbit vagina.
    1. Test Type: Dermal Contact sensitization ( Guinea Pig )

EFFICACY

Effectiveness or suitability to the intended purpose of Enlight has been demonstrated by a combination of in-house testing and side by side test comparisons to predicate devices currently on the market. Results of this bench testing indicates that Orthodontic Adhesive performs as well or better than the predicate devices currently on the market
