Intended Use
Flash VPS Impression Materials are indicated to be used for all precision impressions (of e.g .: crown, bridge, inlay and onlay preparations).
Device Story
Flash VPS Impression Materials are two-component (base paste/catalyst) vinyl polysiloxane materials used for dental impressions. Materials are available in various viscosities (light-bodied, heavy-bodied, putty) and set times (regular, super-quick). Designed for use with 3M Garant mixing/dispensing device or 3M Pentamix automatic mixing/dispensing system. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings to capture accurate anatomical structures of teeth for restorative procedures (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays). Output is a physical impression mold used by dental labs or clinicians to fabricate dental restorations. Benefits include high-precision reproduction of oral structures to ensure proper fit of dental prosthetics.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Biocompatibility testing was performed using standard risk assessment techniques and FDA/internationally recognized guidelines to confirm safety for intended use.
Technological Characteristics
Vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) two-component impression material. Available in light-bodied, heavy-bodied, and putty viscosities. Compatible with Garant manual/dosing dispensers and Pentamix automatic mixing/dispensing systems. Class II device (21 CFR 872.3660).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring precision dental impressions for crown, bridge, inlay, and onlay preparations.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### Description for the Premarket Notification
Flash materials are classified as impression materials (21 C.F.R. § 872.3660) because they are devices intended to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth.
Flash will be available as wash and tray materials. The wash materials will be available in one viscosity (light-bodied), each of them in a regular set and a super-quick set version. The tray materials will be available in two different viscosities (putty and heavy-bodied) in a regular set and a super-quick set version.
As the predicate devices, Flash materials are two component (base paste/catalyst) vinyl polysiloxane impression materials designed either to be used in 3M Deutschland GmbH's mixing, dosing and dispensing device, Garant™, or to automatically be mixed and dispensed in the Pentamix™ device of 3M Deutschland GmbH.
In this 510(k) premarket notification Flash has been compared to the predicate devices with regard to indications for use, physical and mechanical properties, and chemical composition. The comparison for indications for use, performance data, and chemistry shows that Flash is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Biocompatibility testing was carried out. Biocompatibility assessments were developed for Flash using standard risk assessment techniques and consideration of FDA & internationally recognized guidelines. The conclusion of the assessments is that Flash materials are biocompatible for its intended use.
{2}------------------------------------------------
In summary, it can be concluded that Flash is as substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness as the predicate devices Future Wash/YPS by 3M Deutschland GmbH, Germany (K051797), Dimension Penta H by 3M Deutschland GmbH, Germany (K000591), and 3M ProPlus System by 3M ESPE Dental Products, U.S.A. (K963766).
#### Indications for Use:
Flash VPS Impression Materials are indicated to be used for all precision impressions (of e.g .: crown, bridge, inlay and onlay preparations).
