Dear Mr. Kamm:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

#### 7. Non-Clinical Data and Performance Testing
VisionX 3.0 was developed in compliance with the harmonized standard of IEC 62304 for medical device software life cycle requirements.
Software testing, effectiveness, and functionality were successfully conducted and verified between VisionX 3.0 and image capture devices. Software was documented using the FDA guidance document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" using a moderate level of concern. Cybersecurity was addressed according to the FDA guidance document "Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff." VisionX 3.0 is DICOM compliant.
Risk Analysis based design development and design reviews were conducted. Full functional software cross check testing was performed.
- 8. Clinical Data: Not required for a finding of substantial equivalence.
#### 9. Conclusion:
In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the similarity to the predicate device in terms of technology, performance and indications for use, DURR DENTAL SE concludes that the VisionX 3.0 Imaging Software is substantially equivalent to the predicate device as described herein.
The device modifications to VisionX 3.0 do not alter the fundamental scientific technology of the predicate device and summary level information is adequate to assess the modifications. The verification testing demonstrates that the device continues to meet its performance specifications and the results of the testing did not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, the modified VisionX 3.0 can be found substantially equivalent to the predicate device as cleared in K192743.
