No
The summary describes a dental composite material and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a dental composite used for fillings, sealings, and cementing, which are restorative procedures, not therapeutic. Its predicate device ("FLOW IT") is also a restorative dental material.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "flowable light current micro hybrid composite for tooth fillings, sealings and cementing," which indicates it is a restorative material used for treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "flowable light current micro hybride composite," which is a physical material used for dental procedures, 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 "tooth fillings, sealings and cementing." This is a direct application to the human body (teeth) for restorative purposes.
  • Device Description: The description refers to it as a "flowable light current micro hybride composite material." This is a material used in dental procedures.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "human teeth."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality.

IVDs are devices used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body. This device is used in vivo (within the body) for a therapeutic/restorative purpose.

SUMMARY
Kaa0 108

Gentleman:

This submission is pursuent to paragraph 510(k) of the Federal Drug and Cosmetic Act of May, 1976 (as amended) (Title 21 USC). All informations contained herein are to be considered and treated as CONFIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL INFORMATION.

It is the intention of S & C Polymer GmbH to manufacture the LC FLOWFILL cited above which can be used as LC FLOWFILL material.

S & C Polymer spezializes in manufacturing, distributing and marketing numerous dental materials and related items worldwide.

It is S & C Polymer GmbHs intention to manufacture the cited product herein at its facility located at Robert-Bosch-Straße 5, D-25335 Elmshorn (formerly Offenauer Weg 19, D-25335 Bokholt-Hanredder), Germany, employing Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) pursuant and according to Title 21 CFR. S & C Polymer GmbH is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 / DIN EN 46001 and Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, annex II.

The above cited product may be offered and marketed in the United States by Henry Schein Inc. and/or Pharmex, in which case S & C Polymer will maintain control and govern the production and primary packaging. Henry Schein Inc. and/or Pharmex will maintain the claims, labels, instructions and indications by themselves which are consistent with this submission and final FDA 510(k) clearance to market by Henry Schein Inc. and/or Pharmex.

The cited LC FLOWFILL material S & C Polymer GmbH manufactures for Henry Schein Inc. and/or Pharmex is commonly found in current dental materials.

The purpose of this material for use by the dentist is to clinically fill human teeth (restauration in the case of mostly destroyed tooth structure). The material is in general placed against an applied adhesive system.

The chemical composition and use of LC FLOWFILL material is substantially equivalent to "FLOW IT", a product manufactured and marketed by Pentron USA. S & C Polymer GmbH s and Henry Schein Inc. and/or Pharmex`s intented use, performance, indications, proposed labels and instructions for use (see attached) are substantially similar to the predicted device (see attached).

Respectfully submitted
