Intended Use
AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL is used as a tray material in a dual phase impression Technique. It is designed for taking multiple unit impressions of teeth and/or oral tissue.
Device Description
AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL is a very high viscosity, elastomeric impression material with excellent hydrophilic properties, dimensional accuracy, high tear strength, and resistance to permanent deformation. AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL consists of two-components (base paste and catalyst paste) which harden to form a base for final impressions. AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL with "smart wetting" improves both wetting on the tooth surface and model detail reproduction. AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL is designed to be used with Aquasil Regular Set Impression Materials.

No
The description focuses on the material properties of a dental impression material and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest AI/ML.

No
The device is an impression material used for taking impressions of teeth and oral tissue, which is a diagnostic or procedural aid, not a therapeutic treatment itself.

No
The device is an impression material used for taking impressions of teeth and/or oral tissue, which serves as a base for final impressions. Its function is to create a physical mold, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device is a physical impression material, not software. The description clearly details a two-component paste that hardens.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to take impressions of teeth and/or oral tissue for dental purposes. This is a physical process for creating a mold, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the body to detect diseases or conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical properties of the material used to create the impression. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing bodily fluids, tissues, or other samples for diagnostic purposes. The device is used directly in the mouth to create a physical impression.

IVD devices are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on samples to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used in vivo (in the body) to create a physical mold.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL is a very high viscosity, elastomeric impression material with excellent hydrophilic properties, dimensional accuracy, high tear strength, and resistance to permanent deformation. AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL consists of two-components (base paste and catalyst paste) which harden to form a base for final impressions. AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL with "smart wetting" improves both wetting on the tooth surface and model detail reproduction. AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL is designed to be used with Aquasil Regular Set Impression Materials.

INTENDED USE: AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL is used as a tray material in a dual phase impression Technique. It is designed for taking multiple unit impressions of teeth and/or oral tissue.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: All of the components of AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL have been used in DENTSPLY legally marketed predicate devices or found to be safe for dental use.

Due to the similarity of the formulation of AQUASIL™ EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL to the Aguasil Smart Wetting Impression Material, we believe that additional biocompatibility testing of the new impression material is unnecessary.

Aquasil Smart Wetting Impression Material was evaluated and the reports can be found in K943574:

The catalyst and base pastes and the mixed product were evaluated for cytotoxicity. The mixed product was evaluated for dermal toxicity, for imitation, and for mutagenicity.

The base pastes give a moderate cytotoxicity and the catalyst pastes were noncylotoxic. When mixed, the cytotoxicity persisted, but was recorded as a lower value than the value for Reprosil® Impression Material.

510(k) SUMMARY (cont'd.)

TRADE NAME: AQUASIL™ EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL

The mixed product was tested by the Ames Mutagenicity Test, Acute Dermal Toxicity Test, and the Hamster Cheek Pouch Irritation Study. The final product is non-mutagenic, non-toxic, and a non-irritant.

As an impression material, AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL is in the mouth for less than ten minutes.

We believe that the prior use of the components in legally marketed, the similarity of formulation to the predicate devices, the results of the final product testing of the predicate device, the limited exposure time in the mouth, and the performance data outlined above support the safety and effectiveness of AQUASIL EASY MIX PUTTY IMPRESSION MATERIAL for the intended uses.
