Device Story

PENTAMIX® 2 is an AC-powered automatic mixing, dosing, and dispensing system for dental impression and bite registration materials. It processes ESPE PENTA materials supplied in poly bags inserted into specialized cartridges. The device operates at 1.5 times the speed of its predecessor, PENTAMIX®, to improve efficiency and provide more working time for clinicians. It is used in dental clinical settings to prepare impression materials for patient procedures. The system is designed to ensure consistent mixing quality and safety, which the manufacturer claims is only guaranteed when used with genuine ESPE PENTA materials. The output is a dispensed, mixed dental material ready for clinical use, facilitating precise dental impressions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. The submission relies on technical and performance data comparisons between the PENTAMIX® 2 and its predecessor, PENTAMIX®, to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

AC-powered automatic mixing, dosing, and dispensing system. Mechanical mixing mechanism designed for use with specific poly-bagged dental impression materials and proprietary cartridges. Form factor is a tabletop unit. No software or electronic algorithms described.

Indications for Use

Indicated for automatic mixing, dosing, and dispensing of specific ESPE PENTA impression and bite registration materials for dental procedures.

Regulatory Classification

#### Description for the Premarket Notification

ESPE's new mixing device for impression materials, PENTAMIX® 2, is comparable and substantially equivalent to an AC-powered dental amalgamator. It is therefore a class I device which has been exempted from premarket notification requirements (21 C.F.R. § 872.3100). However, consistent with 21 C.F.R. § 872.9, ESPE is submitting this premarket notification because the intended use of РЕ№ТАМІХ® 2 is significant different to that of САРМХ® (21 С.F.R. § 872.9 a). Furthermore, ESPE wants to give evidence that safety and effectiveness are only warranted when

{1}------------------------------------------------

PENTAMIX® 2 is used together with ESPE's especially designed PENTA impression materials.

Since 1993, ESPE has been marketing the predecessor of PENTAMIX® 2, PENTAMIX®, successfully all over the world. The high level of acceptance, together with permanent contact between ESPE and its customers, led first of all to an expansion of the PENTA product family. However, through this dialogue, ESPE also became aware that many users wanted a faster working mixing unit. This wish has now been met with PENTAMIX® 2.

The predecessor of PENTAMIX® 2, PENTAMIX® was determined by ESPE to be substantially equivalent to a mixing spatula/mixing bowl, and, therefore did not go through the 510(k) process. However, the PENTAMIX® device was reviewed by the FDA in connection with ESPE's 510(k) submissions for its PENTA impression materials PERMADYNE® PENTA (K 953027), RAMITEC® PENTA (K 952693), IMPREGUM® PENTA (K954192), DIMENSION® PENTA (K 960547), and POSITION® PENTA (K 974231).

We are aware of the fact that the PENTAMX® 2 could be marketed without 510(k) clearance in the U.S.A. With this 510(k) submission we want to focus on the PENTAMIX® 2 system to claim, that safe handling and satisfying results for patient and user are only ensured when PENTAMIX® 2 is used together with genuine ESPE PENTA impression materials,

The basis for our substantial equivalence determination will be the PENTAMIX® which is a well-established, safe and effective medical device. Technical and performance data of the two PENTAMIX® devices will be compared to show that ESPE's further development PENTAMIX® 2 is as safe and effective as its predecessor. The predicate device CAPMIX® is used to provide a regulation number and a product code.

PENTA impression materials are provided in so called poly bags. Those have to be inserted in especially designed cartridges which ensure correct and simple handling of the materials with РЕ№ТАМІХ . In recent time, ESPE recognized that competitors copied the poly bags and sold those materials for the use with ESPE's PENTAMIX . Due to the fact that there is no corresponding cartridge and to different

material characteristics, safety and effectiveness of the impression materials for the patient and user are not warranted in ESPE's point of view.

For patient and user safety features, ESPE is submitting this premarket notification to emphasize that safety and effectiveness of the impression process is only guaranteed when genuine PENTA materials are used with PENTAMIX® 2.

PENTAMIX® 2, as successor to PENTAMIX®, offers the same simple and convenient handling at 1.5 times the speed. The accustomed high mixing quality of impression materials remains unchanged. The higher dispensing speed achieved is, however, a significant safety factor in terms of working time for all indications, and equally represents a clear time saving. The PENTAMIX® 2 system permits more relaxed and cost-effective work, and is intended as another step towards greater precision.
