Poly Q Penta M: Impression material for monophase technique. Poly Q Penta H: Tray material for dual phase impression techniques. ## Device Story Poly Q is a dental impression material available in three viscosities: light body (Garant L), medium body (Penta M), and heavy body (Penta H). The material consists of a base paste and catalyst. Penta M and Penta H are two-component materials dispensed via the 3M ESPE Pentamix device; Garant L is dispensed via the 3M ESPE Garant device. The material is used by dental professionals to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth. The device functions by capturing the anatomical details of the oral cavity, which are then used by the clinician to create dental models for restorative or diagnostic purposes. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing was performed to demonstrate safety. Effectiveness was established by comparing performance characteristics of the subject devices to the predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Impression material (21 CFR 872.3660). Two-component (base paste/catalyst) system. Viscosities: light, medium, and heavy body. Dispensing systems: Pentamix (for Penta M/H) and Garant (for Garant L). ## Regulatory Identification Impression material is a device composed of materials such as alginate or polysulfide intended to be placed on a preformed impression tray and used to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth and gums. The device is intended to provide models for study and for production of restorative prosthetic devices, such as gold inlays and dentures. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (Special Controls). ## Predicate Devices - Impregum Garant L DuoSoft ([K994190](/device/K994190.md)) - Impregum Penta M Monosoft ([K994192](/device/K994192.md)) - Impregum Penta H DuoSoft ([K994193](/device/K994193.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Poly Q will be available in three different viscosities, called Poly Q Garant™ L (light body), Poly Q Penta™ M (medium body) and Poly Q Penta™ H (heavy body). Poly Q Penta M and Poly Q Penta H are two component (base paste/catalyst) materials to automatically be mixed in dispensed in 3M ESPE's Pentamix™ device. Poly Q Garant L is a material designed to be used in 3M ESPE's mixing, dosing and dispensing device, Garant™. To provide evidence for safety biocompatibility testing was carried out. The results show that Poly Q is a safe device. To prove the effectiveness of Poly Q, the performance characteristics of Poly Q Garant L, Poly Q Penta M and Poly Q Penta H were compared to the respective predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ In summary, the impression materials Poly Q Garant L, Penta M and Penta H, described in this 510(k) premarket notification submission, are, in our opinion, substantially equivalent to the respective predicate devices. し、 : ・ {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows a circular seal with the words "DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES - USA" around the edge.
