No
The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical composition and safety of a dental prophylaxis paste, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is described as a cleaning and polishing paste for professional application during dental hygiene procedures, and studies confirm its non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic, non-irritant, and non-sensitizer properties, which aligns with device biocompatibility and safety, not therapeutic action. Its primary function is mechanical cleaning and polishing, not treating disease or restoring function.
No
The device is described as a cleaning and polishing paste for dental prophylaxis, not for diagnosing conditions. Its intended use is for treatment, not diagnostic assessment.
No
The device description clearly states it is a paste containing various chemical components, indicating it 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 is for "cleaning and polishing procedures as part of a professionally administered dental prophylaxis treatment." This describes a procedure performed directly on the patient's teeth, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
- Device Description: The description lists ingredients like polishing and cleaning agents, fluoride, triclosan, etc. These are components of a paste applied topically, not reagents or instruments used to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Oral cavity abrasive polishing agent 872.6030 CLASSIFICATION NAME:
K912945 PREDICATE DEVICES: NUPRO® Prophylaxis Paste with Fluoride
DEVICE DESCRIPTION: NUPRO® T PROPHYLAXIS PASTE WITH FLUORIDE AND TRICLOSAN® is a unique blend of polishing and cleaning agents designed for professional application during standard dental practice hygiene procedures. The new device contains fluoride, triclosan®, an abrasive, a sweetener, water, flavoring, color, thickeners, and preservatives.
INTENDED USE: : NUPRO® T PROPHYLAXIS PASTE WITH FLUORIDE AND TRICLOSAN® is to be used for cleaning and polishing procedures as part of a professionally administered dental prophylaxis treatment.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: All of the components found in NUPRO® T PROPHYLAXIS PASTE WITH FLUORIDE AND TRICLOSAN® have been used in the predicate device or been found to be safe for dental use.
Triclosan is present in Colgate Total tooth paste at the same concentration used in NUPRO® PROPHYLAXIS PASTE WITH FLUORIDE AND TRICLOSAN®.
Studies concluded that triclosan is non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic, is a non-irritant and a non-sensitizer.
We believe that the prior use of the components of NUPRO® T PROPHYLAXIS PASTE WITH FLUORIDE AND TRICLOSAN® in legally marketed predicate devices and an approved OTC tooth paste, the performance data, and the results of biocompatibility testing support the safety and effectiveness of NUPRO® T PROPHYLAXIS PASTE WITH FLUORIDE AND TRICLOSAN® for the indicated uses.
