Indications for Use
DentureID Microchip is intended to enable access to secure patient identification and device information when used with complete dentures, partial dentures and other removable oral appliances.
Device Story
DentureID Microchip is a passive RFID ISO 14443 micro-transponder (1.5mm x 6mm) embedded into removable oral appliances (e.g., dentures) using medical-grade epoxy and dental repair resin. It functions as a digital link to patient contact and device information. The device is inactive until energized by an NFC-compliant smartphone (13.56 MHz). Upon intimate contact, the smartphone powers the chip, which transmits a unique serial number; the smartphone then retrieves associated data from a secure, cloud-hosted database (DentureID.com). Used by dental professionals and labs to store/retrieve identification and repair information (e.g., tooth color, base material). Benefits include improved identification of lost appliances, assistance in repair/replacement, and enhanced privacy compliance by avoiding visible patient names. It is not a tracking system.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-5, 10993-10, ISO 7405) confirmed non-cytotoxicity and lack of irritation/sensitization. Electromagnetic compatibility (EN 55011, EN 61000 series) and MRI compatibility (ASTM F2052, F2182, F2119) at 1.5T and 3T demonstrated no significant heating, torque, or functional degradation. Simulated 5-year wear testing confirmed durability of the encapsulation.
Technological Characteristics
Passive RFID ISO 14443 micro-transponder (NXP NTAG213). Encapsulated in LOCTITE M-31CL medical-grade epoxy. Dimensions: 1.5mm x 6mm. Operates at 13.56 MHz via NFC. Non-powered, non-sterile. Complies with ISO 10993-1, ISO 7405, IEC 60601-1-2, and ASTM standards for MRI safety.
Indications for Use
Indicated for full or partially edentulous patients, and patients wearing removable dental appliances including bruxing (night guard) appliances, sports guards, retainers, and alignment trays.

## 4. Device Description
A. Overview: DentureID Microchip enables access to secure patent identification and device information when used with removable oral appliances. Denture identification is required by many US state governments because dentures are frequently lost. DentureID.com complies with these regulations by discreetly using a microchip instead of a visible patient name. The microchip is permanently embedded into a denture and is a digital link to owner contact information and information about the denture in the event that a
repair or replacement is needed. All of the information is controlled on the secure DentureID.com website by the denture owner and dental professional. This information could be important to identify and contact the owner if a
Image /page/3/Picture/4 description: The image shows a close-up of a denture with a small, round sticker on it. The sticker has the text "DENTURE ID.COM" printed around the edge of the circle. In the center of the sticker, there is a small, dark square, possibly a QR code or some other type of identification mark. The denture itself is made of a pinkish material, and some of the teeth are visible at the bottom of the frame.
DentureID Microchip placed on the buccal flange of a denture
denture is found. Also, if a denture requires repair, this information will be extremely valuable to a dentist or denturist who must match the size and color of denture teeth, denture base or implant/attachment components. The DentureID Microchip can be read by any NFC compatible Android Smart Phone (after downloading the DentureID.com App from Google Play) and holding the phone against the microchip. The information on the DenturelD.com website may be modified at any time by the patient or dental professional by entering a username and password. The information that is on the website will appear on the smart phone when reading the DentureID Microchip.
The DentureID Microchip is not a tracking system so it will not help in finding a lost denture. It is passive and does not emit any signal until powered by a compatible Smart Phone using NFC (near field communication).
B. Explanation of How the Device Functions: DentureID Microchips are classified as RFID ISO 14443 which use NFC (near-field-communication). DentureID Microchips are designed to be read by ISO 14443 NFC-compliant smart phones with DentureID App installed. A password is not required to read the microchip, however, intimate contact between the smart phone and the microchip is required. The NFC-compliant smart phone emits a low level of energy which "activates" the DenturelD Microchip when placed within intimate contact. The DentureID Microchip responds to the SmartPhone with its serial number. The SmartPhone then requests the information associated with the microchip serial number stored on the DentureID website. The website returns the stored information and displays it on the SmartPhone. Because there is no significant patient risk if the App malfunctions, this App is not considered a "Mobile Medical App."
DentureID Microchips are encased in a medical-grade epoxy resin. The size is 1.5mm X 6 mm in diameter. They are inserted into the buccal flanqe of a denture and completely covered with self-cure repair resin. The DentureID Microchip does not directly contact the patient. The process to insert the microchip into a denture is performed with lower labor cost as compared to conventional denture identification methods, and it satisfies denture identification regulations required in 27 US States and federal facilities. Information associated with the unique identification code of the microchip is entered by a dental lab or
{4}------------------------------------------------
dentist on the DentureID.com website. This information will appear on a SmartPhone when using the DentureID.com app and holding the SmartPhone directly on the DentureID.com microchip.
The patient contact information retrieved from DentureID will greatly assist care givers to locate owners of lost dentures. In addition, information from DentureID Microchips will greatly help a dentist to identify elements of a denture in the case of repair. These elements may include: the type and color of denture base, teeth size and color, clips, attachment housings and implant components. These elements are nearly impossible to identify otherwise, so DentureID Microchips will improve the quality of patient care.
In the event that a denture is placed in view of others who are not "covered entities" under HIPAA regulations, DentureID Microchips help to improve caregiver compliance with privacy requlations because the denture patient's name is not visible, unlike conventional denture identification methods.
C. Scientific Concepts That Form the Basis For The Device: The DentureID Microchip does not hold an electric charge. It remains inactive until energized by an NFC reader using RFID ISO 14443 (a common standard used at 13.56Mhz) that makes intimate contact. The low level of energy emitted by the reader (smart phone in NFC mode) "wakes-up" the microchip which responds with a unique serial number. The reader (smart phone) then communicates the serial number to the DentureID.com database and the database responds with information to display on the reader (smart phone).
#### D. Significant Physical and Performance Characteristics
i. Device Design - The device design is a standard RFID ISO 14443 which enables NFC communication at very short (< 1cm) distances.
ii. Material Used - The microchip is not powered and does not emit any radiation. The following is a list of materials and components used to make DentureID Microchips:
1) Microchip: Chip #NTAG213 — Manufactured by NXP. This chip is RFID ISO 14443 standard that uses NFC (near-field communication). 2) Very thin copper wire 3) Clear film printed with the words "DENTUREID.COM" 4) Medical-Grade Epoxy: LOCTITE® M-31CL™
iii. Physical Properties - The DentureID Microchip emits no energy. It responds to a 13.56Mhz transponder (smart phone and other readers) which emits approximately 40 microwatts (10-6 watts). According to the physical properties data sheet for the LOCTITE M-31CL (primary contents by mass), the Physical Properties are as follows:
Image /page/4/Picture/9 description: The image shows a small, round object with the words "Denture ID.co" printed on it. There is a small, dark square in the center of the object. The object appears to be made of clear plastic with a copper coil around the edge. The words are printed in black ink.

{5}------------------------------------------------
E. Duration and Type of Contact: DentureID Microchip does not contact the patient. It is embedded into a denture and completely covered with self-cure PMMA repair resin. Dentures are rarely worn 24-hours per day. They mostly removed during sleep.
F. User Procedure: The current standard of care for denture fabrication begins with a dental professional (dentist, denturist, prosthodontist) providing an impression or model and information about the case, generally including the patient's name, to a dental laboratory. The dental professional and dental laboratory are currently bound by confidentiality requlations and are "covered entities" as defined by HIPAA. When using a DentureID Microchip, the dental laboratory will fabricate the denture, insert the DentureID Microchip (dental laboratory technicians are generally familiar with denture base acrylics) and enter key information about the denture, including patient name (if provided by the dental professional), into a secure server which requires a username and password. After data entry, the dental laboratory will verify the information was entered correctly by reading the DentureID Microchip with a reader (smart phone).
The dental laboratory keeps one of the 3-part adhesive labels and adheres it to their documentation about the case which they presently safeguard per HIPAA regulations. The lab sends the other two adhesive labels with the dental prosthetic appliance to the dental professional. The dentist will keep one label with the clinical documentation on the case and give the other adhesive label to the patient. The dentist copy has space for the patient to sign and acknowledge that they are consenting to place information on DentureID.com website (consent is required part of HIPAA1). The dental professional, laboratory or patient may edit or remove information stored on the DentureID website. If the username or password is lost, the dentist and dental laboratory will have a record of the username and password. See section 13, Proposed Labeling, for more information and Directions for Use.
G. Model Numbers: The model number D1EN is the English version with denture branding. Future models will be other languages and branding for other appliances such as mouthguards and retainers.
H. Software - Reader: The person reading the DentureID Microchip embedded into a denture will likely use a smart phone such as an Android capable of NFC communication. The user must first download the DentureID app for Android smart phone from the Google Play store. Apple has NFC on their most modern phones for use with proprietary Apple systems such as ApplePay. Apple is planning to release NFC on their phones to developers for new applications, such as DentureID Microchip.
I. Software - Web Server: Data about the denture is entered into and maintained by a secure server hosted by Amazon. There are many healthcare organization who use the same services, including The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Details about the web server:
- Operating System: Windows server 2008 R2 ।
- Database: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Web edition ।
- Web Server: Internet Information Service 7 ।
- The SQL database access is restricted through credentials -
- -We will purchase an SSL certificate associated with www.dentureid.com domain so
{6}------------------------------------------------
that the web app can be accessed over https instead of normal http. This will ensure the data is encrypted over the network.
J. Disease Conditions (Devices): The DentureID Microchip will assist dentists to treat patients who are:
- 1. Edentulous (Complete Dentures)
- 2. Partially Edentulous (Partial Dentures)
- 3. Bruxing (Night Guards)
- 4. Protecting Teeth During Contact Activity (Sports Guard)
- 5. Involved with Teeth or Jaw Alignment Therapy (Retainer, Alignment Tray)

Similarities between DentureID Microchip and VeriChip (Primary Predicate)
- The indications for use for DentureID Microchip are virtually the same as the Primary ● Predicate because both are RFID micro-transponders and thev both respond with a unique identification number corresponding to a patient.
- Both micro-transponders are passive and require energy from an outside source to . respond with a serial number.
- o Both micro-transponders are not tracking devices and are write-protected
Similarities between DentureID and SmartSponge (Reference Predicate)
- Both are RFID micro-transponders and they both respond with a unique identification number.
- Both RFID micro-transponders are embedded into LOCTITE M-31CL Medical Grade ● Ероху.
## Differences between DentureID Microchip and VeriChip (Primary Predicate)
- The micro-transponders use a different ISO standard. This difference does not raise ● any substantial equivalence concerns because VeriChip is designed to be read from a further distance because it is under the skin and the exact location may be unknown. DentureID Microchip is visible in a denture or other appliance so it is designed for close proximity read. Because DentureID Microchip requires close proximity read (<1 cm), it nearly impossible for an unauthorized person to obtain information related to the denture. This feature makes information from DentureID Microchip more secure than VeriChip.
- The DentureID micro-transponder and epoxy encapsulating material do not touch the patient because the DFU requires covering the device with dental acrylic. However. the VeriChip encapsulated micro-transponder is located subcutaneously. This difference does not raise any substantial equivalence concerns because DenturelD is not invasive by design and results in lower patient risk.
### Differences between DentureID and SmartSponge (Reference Predicate)
- The micro-transponders use a different ISO standard. This difference does not raise ● any substantial equivalence concerns because SmartSponge is designed to be read from a further distance because they could be located in the abdomen and the exact location may be unknown or they could be located in the "out scanner bucket" grouped together. DentureID Microchip is visible in a denture or other appliance so it is designed for close proximity read.

ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process: This standard has been addressed in Section 16.
ISO 7405 Dentistry – Evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry: This standard has been addressed in Section 16.
An additional non-clinical performance test was performed outside of the FDA Guidance Document. DentureID Microchips installed in dentures per DFU were subject to 5year simulated wear with a denture cleaning medium and denture brush. The results indicated that the clear self-cure dental acrylic placed over the DentureID Microchip was not affected by the scrubbing action. Therefore, cleaning dentures will not impact the performance of DentureID Microchip.
### 9. Conclusions
The DentureID Microchip is substantially equivalent to VeriChip because the technology is functionally the same and the output portion of the indications for use for VeriChip is virtually identical to DentureID Microchip. Benchtop testing proved compliance with FDA's guidance for industry and FDA staff. Because DentureID is not inserted into patients, DentureID Microchip presents significantly less patient risk than VeriChip. DentureID Microchip is more effective and performs better than the predicate device, VeriChip, because:
1. DentureID Microchip does not require a specialized reader
2. After reading a Denture ID Microchip, the information returned to the reader is robust and detailed compared to VeriChip which returns only two rows of 15 character alphanumeric strings.

## 4. Device Description
A. Overview: DentureID Microchip enables access to secure patent identification and device information when used with removable oral appliances. Denture identification is required by many US state governments because dentures are frequently lost. DentureID.com complies with these regulations by discreetly using a microchip instead of a visible patient name. The microchip is permanently embedded into a denture and is a digital link to owner contact information and information about the denture in the event that a
repair or replacement is needed. All of the information is controlled on the secure DentureID.com website by the denture owner and dental professional. This information could be important to identify and contact the owner if a
Image /page/14/Picture/4 description: The image shows a close-up of a denture. The denture is made of a pink material and has white teeth. There is a small, round sticker on the denture that says "DENTURE ID.COM" in black letters. The sticker also has a small black square in the center.
DentureID Microchip placed on the buccal flange of a denture
denture is found. Also, if a denture requires repair, this information will be extremely valuable to a dentist or denturist who must match the size and color of denture teeth, denture base or implant/attachment components. The DentureID Microchip can be read by any NFC compatible Android Smart Phone (after downloading the DentureID.com App from Google Play) and holding the phone against the microchip. The information on the DenturelD.com website may be modified at any time by the patient or dental professional by entering a username and password. The information that is on the website will appear on the smart phone when reading the DentureID Microchip.
The DentureID Microchip is not a tracking system so it will not help in finding a lost denture. It is passive and does not emit any signal until powered by a compatible Smart Phone using NFC (near field communication).
B. Explanation of How the Device Functions: DentureID Microchips are classified as RFID ISO 14443 which use NFC (near-field-communication). DentureID Microchips are designed to be read by ISO 14443 NFC-compliant smart phones with DentureID App installed. A password is not required to read the microchip, however, intimate contact between the smart phone and the microchip is required. The NFC-compliant smart phone emits a low level of energy which "activates" the DentureID Microchip when placed within intimate contact. The DentureID Microchip responds to the SmartPhone with its serial number. The SmartPhone then requests the information associated with the microchip serial number stored on the DenturelD website. The website returns the stored information and displays it on the SmartPhone. Because there is no significant patient risk if the App malfunctions, this App is not considered a "Mobile Medical App."
DentureID Microchips are encased in a medical-grade epoxy resin. The size is 1.5mm X 6 mm in diameter. They are inserted into the buccal flange of a denture and completely covered with self-cure repair resin. The DentureID Microchip does not directly contact the patient. The process to insert the microchip into a denture is performed with lower labor cost as compared to conventional denture identification methods, and it satisfies denture identification requlations required in 27 US States and federal facilities. Information associated with the unique identification code of the microchip is entered by a dental lab or
{15}------------------------------------------------
dentist on the DentureID.com website. This information will appear on a SmartPhone when using the DentureID.com app and holding the SmartPhone directly on the DentureID.com microchip.
The patient contact information retrieved from DentureID will greatly assist care givers to locate owners of lost dentures. In addition, information from DentureID Microchips will greatly help a dentist to identify elements of a denture in the case of repair. These elements may include: the type and color of denture base, teeth size and color, clips, attachment housings and implant components. These elements are nearly impossible to identify otherwise, so DentureID Microchips will improve the quality of patient care.
In the event that a denture is placed in view of others who are not "covered entities" under HIPAA requlations, DentureID Microchips help to improve caregiver compliance with privacy requlations because the denture patient's name is not visible, unlike conventional denture identification methods.
C. Scientific Concepts That Form the Basis For The Device: The DentureID Microchip does not hold an electric charge. It remains inactive until energized by an NFC reader using RFID ISO 14443 (a common standard used at 13.56Mhz) that makes intimate contact. The low level of energy emitted by the reader (smart phone in NFC mode) "wakes-up" the microchip which responds with a unique serial number. The reader (smart phone) then communicates the serial number to the DentureID.com database and the database responds with information to display on the reader (smart phone).
#### D. Significant Physical and Performance Characteristics
i. Device Design – The device design is a standard RFID ISO 14443 which enables NFC communication at very short (< 1cm) distances.
ii. Material Used - The microchip is not powered and does not emit any radiation. The following is a list of materials and components used to make DentureID Microchips:
1) Microchip: Chip #NTAG213 – Manufactured by NXP. This chip is RFID ISO 14443 standard that uses NFC (near-field communication). 2) Very thin copper wire 3) Clear film printed with the words "DENTUREID.COM" 4) Medical-Grade Epoxy: LOCTITE® M-31CL™
iii. Physical Properties - The DentureID Microchip emits no energy. It responds to a 13.56Mhz transponder (smart phone and other readers) which emits approximately 40 microwatts (10-6 watts). According to the physical properties data sheet for the LOCTITE M-31CL (primary contents by mass), the Physical Properties are as follows:
Image /page/15/Picture/9 description: The image shows a small, round, clear object with the words "Denture ID.CO WO" printed around the edge. There is a small, dark square in the center of the object. The object appears to be made of plastic or glass and has a smooth, shiny surface. The text is printed in black and is slightly blurred.
Glass Transition Temperature, ASTM E 228, °C 70 Elongation, ASTM D 638, % 8 Tensile Strength, ASTM D 638 N/mm² 55.2 (psi) (8,000)
{16}------------------------------------------------
E. Duration and Type of Contact: DentureID Microchip does not contact the patient. It is embedded into a denture and completely covered with self-cure PMMA repair resin. Dentures are rarely worn 24-hours per dav. They mostly removed during sleep.
F. User Procedure: The current standard of care for denture fabrication begins with a dental professional (dentist, denturist, prosthodontist) providing an impression or model and information about the case, generally including the patient's name, to a dental laboratory. The dental professional and dental laboratory are currently bound by confidentiality requlations and are "covered entities" as defined by HIPAA. When using a DentureID Microchip, the dental laboratory will fabricate the denture, insert the DentureID Microchip (dental laboratory technicians are generally familiar with denture base acrylics) and enter key information about the denture, including patient name (if provided by the dental professional), into a secure server which requires a username and password. After data entry, the dental laboratory will verify the information was entered correctly by reading the DentureID Microchip with a reader (smart phone).
The dental laboratory keeps one of the 3-part adhesive labels and adheres it to their documentation about the case which they presently safeguard per HIPAA regulations. The lab sends the other two adhesive labels with the dental prosthetic appliance to the dental professional. The dentist will keep one label with the clinical documentation on the case and give the other adhesive label to the patient. The dentist copy has space for the patient to sign and acknowledge that they are consenting to place information on DentureID.com website (consent is required part of HIPAA1). The dental professional, laboratory or patient may edit or remove information stored on the DentureID website. If the username or password is lost, the dentist and dental laboratory will have a record of the username and password. See section 13, Proposed Labeling, for more information and Directions for Use.
G. Model Numbers: The model number D1EN is the English version with denture branding. Future models will be other languages and branding for other appliances such as mouthguards and retainers.
H. Software - Reader: The person reading the DentureID Microchip embedded into a denture will likely use a smart phone such as an Android capable of NFC communication. The user must first download the DentureID app for Android smart phone from the Google Play store. Apple has NFC on their most modern phones for use with proprietary Apple systems such as ApplePay. Apple is planning to release NFC on their phones to developers for new applications, such as DentureID Microchip.
I. Software - Web Server: Data about the denture is entered into and maintained by a secure server hosted by Amazon. There are many healthcare organization who use the same services, including The Centers for Medicaid Services (CMS). Details about the web server:
- Operating System: Windows server 2008 R2 ।
- . Database: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Web edition
- Web Server: Internet Information Service 7 .
- The SQL database access is restricted through credentials -
- -We will purchase an SSL certificate associated with www.dentureid.com domain so
{17}------------------------------------------------
that the web app can be accessed over https instead of normal http. This will ensure the data is encrypted over the network.
J. Disease Conditions (Devices): The DentureID Microchip will assist dentists to treat patients who are:
- 1. Edentulous (Complete Dentures)
- 2. Partially Edentulous (Partial Dentures)
- 3. Bruxing (Night Guards)
- 4. Protecting Teeth During Contact Activity (Sports Guard)
- 5. Involved with Teeth or Jaw Alignment Therapy (Retainer, Alignment Tray)

Similarities between DentureID Microchip and VeriChip (Primary Predicate)
- The indications for use for DentureID Microchip are virtually the same as the Primary ● Predicate because both are RFID micro-transponders and thev both respond with a unique identification number corresponding to a patient.
- Both micro-transponders are passive and require energy from an outside source to . respond with a serial number.
- Both micro-transponders are not tracking devices and are write-protected
Similarities between DentureID and SmartSponge (Reference Predicate)
- Both are RFID micro-transponders and they both respond with a unique identification number.
- Both RFID micro-transponders are embedded into LOCTITE M-31CL Medical Grade ● Ероху.
## Differences between DentureID Microchip and VeriChip (Primary Predicate)
- The micro-transponders use a different ISO standard. This difference does not raise any substantial equivalence concerns because VeriChip is designed to be read from a further distance because it is under the skin and the exact location may be unknown. DentureID Microchip is visible in a denture or other appliance so it is designed for close proximity read. Because DentureID Microchip requires close proximity read (<1 cm), it nearly impossible for an unauthorized person to obtain information related to the denture. This feature makes information from DentureID Microchip more secure than VeriChip.
- The DentureID micro-transponder and epoxy encapsulating material do not touch the patient because the DFU requires covering the device with dental acrylic. However. the VeriChip encapsulated micro-transponder is located subcutaneously. This difference does not raise any substantial equivalence concerns because DenturelD is not invasive by design and results in lower patient risk.
### Differences between DentureID and SmartSponge (Reference Predicate)
- The micro-transponders use a different ISO standard. This difference does not raise ● any substantial equivalence concerns because SmartSponge is designed to be read from a further distance because they could be located in the abdomen and the exact location may be unknown or they could be located in the "out scanner bucket" grouped together. DentureID Microchip is visible in a denture or other appliance so it is designed for close proximity read.
