The summary describes a composite restorative material and its properties, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No
The device is described as a "composite restorative material" and "resin material composed of methacrylates intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth," which focuses on repairing and restoring rather than treating a disease or condition for therapeutic benefit.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "composite restorative material" used for fillings and repairs in teeth, explicitly stating its intended use is to "restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth," which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device is a composite restorative material, which is a physical substance used to fill cavities in teeth. It is explicitly described as a "tooth shade resin material" and composed of "methacrylates," indicating it is a hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the material being used directly on teeth for restorative purposes (filling cavities, repairing defects, etc.). This is a direct treatment or restoration of a physical structure within the body.
- Device Description: The description classifies it as a "tooth shade resin material" intended to "restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth." This aligns with a dental restorative material, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The device is applied directly to the patient's teeth.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a material used to repair or restore a part of the body.

Description for the Premarket Notification
REFERENCE® is classified as a tooth shade resin material (21 C.F.R. § 872.3690) because it is a device composed of methacrylates intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth.
REFERENCE® is similar in intended use and substantially equivalent to ESPE's previously 510(k) cleared composite filling material PERTAC® II.
REFERENCE® is a further development based on the experience with PERTAC® II. The material characteristics were improved to obtain better handling and wearing properties. Furthermore, REFERENCE® is able to release fluoride ions. ESPE's glass ionomer filling material KETAC®-MOLAR is provided as a predicate fluoride releasing device, therefore.
All ingredients of REFERENCE® were used in PERTAC® II, except two chemical compounds which are, however, contained in ESPE's 510(k) cleared compomer bonding material PROMPT® L-POP® and in ESPE's 510(k) cleared compomer restorative material HYTA0 . In addition, biocompatibility tests were carried out to ensure the safety of REFERENCE®. The results show that REFERENCE® is a safe device with no harmful potential.
In particular, REFERENCE® has the following similarities to its predecessor PERTAC® II:
- REFERENCE® has in general the same intended use .
- . REFERENCE® is used by the same operating principles
- . REFERENCE® incorporates the same basic chemical design
- REFERENCE® has the same shelf life .
- . REFERENCE® is manufactured using the same materials and processes
In summary, ESPE's new composite restorative material REFERENCE® described in this submission is, in our opinion, substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
The substantial equivalence to the well established PERTAC® II, the performance data and the results of biocompatibility testing provide evidence that safety and effectiveness requirements of REFERENCE® are completely met.
