No
The summary describes a dental casting alloy and its physical properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a dental casting alloy used for fabricating restorations, which is a material used in treatment rather than a device that directly performs a therapeutic function itself.

No
The device is a dental casting alloy used for restoration, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It's a material used in treatment, not a tool for identification or assessment.

No

The device is a dental casting alloy, which 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 "Dental casting alloy used in combination with dental ceramics for fabrication of metallo-ceramic restoration." This describes a material used in the creation of a dental prosthesis, not a test performed on a sample from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "Medium gold palladium based casting alloy." This is a material used in manufacturing, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease, condition, or physiological state.
    • Reagents, calibrators, controls, or other components typically associated with IVDs.

The information provided clearly indicates this is a dental material used for restorative purposes, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

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

Comparison of composition and physical/mechanical properties to a legally marketed device (Jelenko Cameo). Key results showed differences in concentration for every component are less than 5% and elements under 1% content have little effect upon the characteristics. Up to 99% both alloys consist of the same elements, suggesting similar chemical and biological behavior.

§ 872.3060 Noble metal alloy.

(a)
Identification. A noble metal alloy is a device composed primarily of noble metals, such as gold, palladium, platinum, or silver, that is intended for use in the fabrication of cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for these devices is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Noble Metal Alloys.” The devices are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9. See § 872.1(e) for availability of guidance information.

Discussion

All the elements above 1 % are the same in both alloys. The difference in concentration for every component is less than 5 %. The elements under 1 % content are either noble ones, or the ones that oxidize and be eliminated during melting. Consequently, they have little effect upon the characteristics of the alloys.

Conclusion

Up to 99 % both alloy consist of the same elements. This suggets that chemical and biological behaviour should be similar.

Re : K972951 Hipallaur 51 Trade Name: Regulatory Class: II Product Code: EJT Dated: June 13, 1997 Received: June 20, 1997

Dear Mr. Davis:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions The general controls provisions of the Act of the Act. include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note:
