The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses on a custom-made physical device for preventing tension and TMJ issues.
Yes
The device is intended for the "prevention of chronic tension and temporal mandibular joint syndrome," indicating a therapeutic purpose to prevent a medical condition.
No
The intended use describes prevention of a syndrome, not diagnosis.
No
The summary describes a "custom made" device for preventing tension and TMJ syndrome by preventing contact of posterior teeth. This description strongly suggests a physical, custom-fabricated device (like a dental splint or guard), not a software-only application. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any other characteristic of a software device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The intended use and device description clearly indicate that this device is a custom-made physical appliance designed to be placed in the mouth to prevent chronic tension and TMJ syndrome by affecting the positioning of teeth. It does not involve testing samples from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Zimmerman:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of July 15, 1998.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions 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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
