No
The summary describes a dental filling material and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No.
The device description states that CAVIT® LC is a tooth shade resin material intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth, which is a restorative function, not a therapeutic one. The intended use also describes temporary fillings and management, which are restorative or protective, not aimed at treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use/Indications for Use" section and the "Device Description" clearly state that CAVIT® LC is a "tooth shade resin material" for "temporary fillings," "temporary management of inlay and onlay preparations," "temporary closure of implant screw holes," and "relining of temporary pre-made crowns and bridges." These are all restorative or reparative functions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device being used to identify, detect, or monitor a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "tooth shade resin material" composed of methacrylates, which is a physical substance used for dental restoration, 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 temporary dental fillings and related procedures. This involves direct application to the patient's teeth, not the testing of samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device is described as a tooth shade resin material intended to restore defects in teeth. This aligns with a dental restorative material, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens, such as blood, urine, or tissue, from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is entirely different.

Description for the Premarket Notification

CAVIT® LC is classified as a tooth shade resin material (21 C.F.R. § 872.3690) becaus it is a device composed of methacrylates intended to restore carious lesions o · structural defects in teeth.

CAVIT® LC is similar in intended use and substantially equivalent to ESPE's previously 510(k)-cleared temporary filling material CAVIT®-LC (old formula) which was never c n the market because it was determined by consultant dentists to have very insuffic ent material characteristics. The consultants complained about too high rigidity of the uncured material which made it almost impossible to fill it into the cavity.

The now Cavin® LC is a further development based on the experience with the old CAVT -LC. The composition has changed, especially the monomer system was exchanced, which results in more advantageous material and handling characteristics.

To support the safety of the new formulation, biocompatibility testing was conducted which showed that CAVIT® LC has no harmful potential. The effectiveness is establis ned by laboratory testing.
