Intended Use
LiquiBand® Dental n-butyl cyanoacrylate is intended for use as an adhesive when bonding of caps and crowns to teeth is desired.
Device Description
The LiquiBand® Dental adhesive formula consists of n-butyl cyanoacrylate monomer containing small amounts of hydroquinone (a free radical inhibitor) and sulfur dioxide (an anionic inhibitor). LiquiBand® Dental, n-butyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, is a clear, colorless, free-flowing liquid packaged in a single use, 0.5 gram high density polyethylene ampoule with an attachable polypropylene applicator tip. It is applied as a liquid monomer to the bonding surface of the cap/crown to be cemented to a tooth. Upon seating the cap/crown and contact with weak bases LiguiBand® Dental polymerizes as to form a strong adhesive bond between the cap/crown and tooth.

The description focuses on the chemical composition and polymerization process of the adhesive, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is described as an adhesive for bonding dental caps and crowns to teeth, functioning as a dental cement. Its primary purpose is structural adhesion, not to treat or prevent a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as an adhesive for bonding caps and crowns to teeth, and its function involves polymerization to form a strong adhesive bond. Diagnostic devices are used to identify or detect medical conditions, diseases, or abnormalities, which is not the stated purpose or function of this dental adhesive.

No

The device description clearly states it is a liquid adhesive formula packaged in a physical ampoule with an applicator tip, indicating it is a physical medical 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 is for bonding caps and crowns to teeth. This is a direct application to the body for a structural purpose, not for examining specimens from the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a liquid adhesive that polymerizes to form a bond. This is a physical process for adhesion, not a chemical or biological reaction used for diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic results.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on chemical, physical, and biocompatibility testing to demonstrate equivalence as a dental cement, not on diagnostic accuracy or performance metrics like sensitivity or specificity.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

Nonclinical testing: LiquiBand Dental adhesive was subjected to chemical, physical and biocompatibility testing to demonstrate its equivalence to OCTYLDENT® Dental Adhesive. All of the testing supported the substantial equivalence by the similarity of the test results. Both products are effective as dental cements. Based on this data, it was concluded that LiquiBand® Dental adhesive is substantially equivalent to OCTYLDENT® Dental Adhesive.
