More Information

No
The device is described as a light-curing composite veneer material and the performance studies focus on material properties, not algorithmic performance. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or image processing.

No
The device is a light-curing composite veneer material used by dental technicians to create dental restorations; it does not directly treat a disease or condition in a patient.

No

Explanation: The device is a light-curing composite veneer material used for restorative dental applications, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is described as a "light-curing composite veneer material," which is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Sinfony® system is a light-curing composite veneer material for various dental restorations. This involves working on dental prosthetics and structures outside the body.
  • Device Description: It is described as a "light-curing composite veneer material," which is a material used in dental fabrication.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. The process described is the fabrication of dental restorations.
  • Intended User/Care Setting: The intended user is a "dental technician outside the mouth in a commercial dental laboratory or laboratory in a dental office." This further reinforces that the work is being done on dental materials and prosthetics, not on patient specimens for diagnostic purposes.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples to gain information about a person's health. The Sinfony® system is a material used in the creation of dental prosthetics.

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

physical and technical characteristics of Sinfony® have been compared to those of Visio-Gem® using tests undertaken pursuant to ISO 10477 and DIN 53456. These characteristics include surface finish, flexural strength, water absorption, solubility, color and translucency, color stability, and surface hardness.

II. 510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

ESPE is submitting a 510(k) premarket notification for modifications to its Visio-Gem® (K833757) and Visio-Gem® Art-System (K905604), to create modified veneer materials that provide improved mechanical properties and aesthetics. The Sinfony® system is indicated for use as a light-curing composite veneer material for:

  • full and partial coverage of:
    • fixed crown and bridgework .
    • telescopic and conical crowns .
    • precision attachments
    • implant superstructures .
    • adhesive bridgework .
    • laminate veneers .
    • o individualizing denture teeth
    • individualizing long-term temporary restorations .

ESPE is claiming substantial equivalence to its previously cleared Visio-Gem® (K833757) and Visio-Gem® Art-System (K905604). The products have similar intended uses, except that, due to its improved mechanical properties, Sinfony® provides full (not just partial) coverage of crown and bridgework veneers, including occlusal areas. Sinfony® and the Visio-Gem® products also

WA01A/133508.1

have similar ingredient composition. Further, both products are intended for use by a dental technician outside the mouth in a commercial dental laboratory or laboratory in a dental office. To support substantial equivalence to the predicate product, the physical and technical characteristics of Sinfony® have been compared to those of Visio-Gem® using tests undertaken pursuant to ISO 10477 and DIN 53456. These characteristics include surface finish, flexural strength, water absorption, solubility, color and translucency, color stability, and surface hardness.

ESPE's 510(k) has been submitted on September 17, 1997, by Dr. Barbara Wagner-Schuh at Am Griesberg 2, D-82229 Seefeld, Germany (011-49-8152-700395).
