Intended Use
Masky is indicated for use when patients require a partial denture prosthetic that has a substantial amount of exposed metal in the frame. Masky covers exposed metal areas to reduce visual impact of framework in the mouth. Can also cover wires used in orthodontic appliances to make appliances less visible.
Device Description
Resin material that is biologically inert once cured on the metallic framework, similar to ArtGlass, with exception of curing methodology. ArtGlass cures by light; Masky by heat.
More Information

No
The summary describes a resin material for covering metal in dental prosthetics and orthodontic appliances. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility testing of the material.

No.

The device's intended use is to cover exposed metal on partial dentures and orthodontic appliances to reduce their visual impact, which is an aesthetic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

No

The device is intended to cover exposed metal on partial dentures and orthodontic appliances for aesthetic purposes, rather than to diagnose any medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Resin material" that is cured by heat, indicating it is a physical material, not software. The performance studies also focus on the biocompatibility of this material.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of Masky is to cover exposed metal on partial dentures and orthodontic appliances for aesthetic purposes (reducing visual impact). This is a physical modification of a medical device for cosmetic reasons, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: Masky is a resin material used to cover metal. This is a material used in the fabrication or modification of a prosthetic device.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described focus on the biocompatibility and safety of the material when used in the mouth, not on its ability to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status. The tests are related to the material's interaction with biological systems, which is relevant for a medical device, but not specifically for an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.

IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. Masky does not fit this definition.

Summary of Performance Studies

Clinical Performance Summary: Both ArtGlass and Masky are biologically inert once cured; tests as performed by the Istituti Ortopedici Rizzoli for Pressing Italy on the material address standard tests for biocompatibility. The tests, performed in December 1996, are enclosed in this 510(k) application; as follows:

    1. EVALUATION OF CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATIONS INDUCED IN VITRO BY HEAT CURING RESIN FOR THE COVERING OF CrCo PROSTHESES;
    1. EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF HEAT CURING RESIN FOR THE COVERING OF CrCo PROSTHESES ON CELL VIABILITY USING PROPIDIUM IODIDE UPTAKE;
    1. MUTAGENICITY OF HEAT CURING RESIN FOR THE COVERING OF CrCo PROSTHESES IN THE AMES SALMONELLA / MICROSOME TEST;
    1. EVALUATION OF SISTER CHROMATID EXCHANGE IN VITRO INDUCED BY HEAT CURING RESIN FOR THE COVERING OF CACo PROSTHESES.
      Clinical Performance Conclusions: Masky had no negative results in testing that contraindicates use with dental prostheses.
