Intended Use

Intended to be used primarily for etching and priming of enamel for the application of an orthodontic attachment.

Device Story

First Step is a two-bottle, self-etching primer system used in orthodontic procedures. It functions by simultaneously etching and priming enamel surfaces to prepare them for the application of direct bonding orthodontic adhesives. The device is intended for professional use by clinicians in a dental office setting. By combining the etching and priming steps into a single application without the need for rinsing, the device simplifies the bonding process. It is compatible with both light-curing and self-curing adhesive systems, providing bond strengths comparable to existing market standards, thereby facilitating the secure attachment of orthodontic appliances to patient teeth.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Shear bond strength testing was conducted to compare the subject device to the predicate. Results confirmed that the device achieves bond strengths equivalent to the predicate, supporting the claim of substantial equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

Two-bottle, self-etching primer system. Chemical composition consists of a combination of an acid and methacrylate. Designed for simultaneous etching and priming of enamel. No rinsing required. Compatible with light-curing and self-curing orthodontic adhesives.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a self-etching primer in conjunction with light-curing and self-curing direct bonding orthodontic adhesives for the etching and priming of enamel to facilitate orthodontic attachment.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A bracket adhesive resin and tooth conditioner is a device composed of an adhesive compound, such as polymethylmethacrylate, intended to cement an orthodontic bracket to a tooth surface.

Dear Ms. Long:

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.
