No
The summary describes a dental casting alloy, which is a material, not a software or system that would typically incorporate AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or performance studies related to algorithmic performance.

No.

The device is a casting alloy used for constructing dental prosthetic devices, which are restorative rather than therapeutic in nature.

No
This device is a casting alloy used to construct dental prosthetic devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device is a casting alloy, which is a physical material used in dental prosthetics, not a software application.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for constructing dental prosthetic devices. This is a structural material used in the body, not a device used to examine specimens from the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: It's a casting alloy, a material used in manufacturing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic information, or any of the typical characteristics of an IVD.

IVDs are used to perform tests on specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Benetti:

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 abe beated in the 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 regulations 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: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531
