## Indications for Use

Futar® (Futar®, Futar® D, Futar® D Fast, Futar® D Slow, Futar® Scan) Bite Registration Materials are intended for making accurate occlusal records.

## Device Story

Futar bite registration materials are syringeable, addition-curing, elastomeric silicones used by dental professionals to capture occlusal records. The product line includes variants with differing hardness levels and working times (Futar, Futar D, Futar D Fast, Futar D Slow, Futar Scan). Futar Scan is specifically formulated for optical scanning in CAD/CAM/CIM workflows, eliminating the need for contrast powder. The materials are applied intraorally to record the patient's bite; the resulting physical impression or optical data is used by clinicians to facilitate restorative or diagnostic dental procedures. The device benefits patients by ensuring accurate alignment and fit of dental restorations.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was evaluated against criteria in FDA Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Dental Impression Materials (FOD#2203), ISO 4823 (Dentistry – Elastomeric impression materials), and DIN 13903 (Dentistry-Bite registration material). No clinical data was required or provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Addition-curing elastomeric silicone materials. Syringeable form factor. Designed for manual application. Compliant with ISO 4823 and DIN 13903 standards. No electronic components or software.

## 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).

Dear Mr. Preiss:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
