No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a dental composite material, not a software or hardware device that would typically incorporate AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.
No.
This device is a dental filling material, not a therapeutic device. It is used to restore tooth structure in a restorative rather than therapeutic capacity.
No
Explanation: The device is a dental restorative material (composite) used for fillings and repairs, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases. Its intended uses are therapeutic/restorative, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly indicates it is a physical material (a composite) used for dental fillings, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to dental restorations and procedures performed directly on the patient's teeth (fillings, sealing, repair, luting). These are clinical procedures, not laboratory tests performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details the composition and physical properties of a dental composite material used for filling cavities and other dental work. It does not describe a device used to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There is no indication of a diagnostic purpose or the measurement of any biological marker.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. Arabesk Flow is a material used in the treatment of dental conditions, not for diagnosing them.

Device Description
Arabesk Flow is a light-curing and radiopaque glass ceramic microhybrid composite. It is suited for fillings in both anterior and posterior applications. Arabesk Flow's low viscosity results in excellent wetting and adhesion to the tooth. Arabesk Flow produces a high strength and color stable restoration that can be polished to a high gloss. Arabesk Flow is polymerized (cured) by halogen light. Arabesk Flow conforms well to cavity surfaces, helps to avoid trapped air, and speeds cavity filling.
Arabesk Flow contains 69% inorganic fillers (highly pure silica and barium/strontium borosilicate glass particles - average size 0.7um) and 30% dimethacrylates (BIS-GMA, urethane dimethacrylate, triethyleneglycol dimethacryrlate).
Arabesk Flow is available in bulk dispensing syringes (3gm each) and in single-use applicator-tip capsules (0.25 gm each).

TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON BETWEEN SUBJECT AND PREDICATE DEVICES
Arabesk Flow, Tetric Flow (K964285), and Flow Line (K990756) are all flowable, light-curing, glass ceramic composite filling materials for use in both anterior and posterior sites.
Arabesk Flow, Tetric Flow, and Flow Line are all composed of inorganic silicates (~60-70%, w/w/), dimethacrylates (~30-40%, w/w/), photoinitiators and pigments (~1%. w/w). The subject and predicate devices are substantially alike with respect to such performance properties as viscosity, compressive strength, polymerization shrinkage, color stability, and resistance to abrasion.
Arabesk Flow is formulated from chemical components that are commonly associated with currently marketed dental composite materials.
The chemistry of Arabesk Flow raises no new issues or questions that effect safety, effectiveness, or biocompatibility for a dental composite product.
