More Information

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the device description focuses on replacing film with a digital sensor and associated software for image display.

No
The device is intended for diagnosis and examination, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes

The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section explicitly states that "THE DXIS® IS INTENDED FOR DENTAL RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION AND DIOGNOSIS OF DISEASES OF THE TEETH, JAW AND ORAL STRUCTURE."

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a digital x-ray sensor, interface equipment, software, and adapters, indicating it includes hardware components in addition to software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • DXIS® Function: The DXIS® is a digital x-ray system component used for capturing images of teeth, jaw, and oral structures within the body. It's a medical imaging device, not a device that analyzes biological samples.

The intended use and device description clearly indicate that the DXIS® is for in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging using X-rays.

K983283 Signet DIXS® Direct Dental X-ray Imaging System Dated: September 15, 1998 Received: September 18, 1998 Regulatory class: II 21 CFR 872.1800/Procode: 90 MUH

Dear Mr. Cetateanu:

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 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in yrity. diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/odrividsma/dsmamain.html".
