## Intended Use

DentiqAir is a software application for the visualization of imaging information of the oralmaxillofacial region. The imaging data originates from medical scanners such as CT or CBCT scanners. The dental professionals' planning data may be exported from DentiqAir and used as input data for CAD or Rapid Prototyping Systems.

## Device Story

DentiqAir is a software application for visualizing and segmenting 3D volume data (CT/CBCT) and optical impressions of the oral-maxillofacial and ENT regions. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings, it transforms raw scan data into 3D visualizations and segmentations (e.g., airway, mandible, fossa) using a watershed algorithm. The software provides tools for length and angle measurements, volume clipping, and data manipulation (zoom, pan, brightness/contrast). Planning data can be exported for use in CAD or rapid prototyping systems. The device aids clinicians in evaluating treatment options; it does not perform automated diagnosis. Benefits include improved visualization of anatomical structures for treatment planning.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data performed. Bench testing only. Accuracy validated using phantom CT datasets comparing measured values (length, angle, HU, volume) against true values. P/F criteria for length, angle, and HU was <2% average/max absolute difference; volume accuracy was validated against true values and compared to Dolphin Imaging.

## Technological Characteristics

Pure software device; runs on Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit). Requires Intel i3 Dual Core, 2GB RAM, 2GB HDD, DirectX 10.1 compatible graphics. Uses ray-casting for volume rendering and watershed (graph-cut) algorithm for segmentation. Connectivity: DICOM import, STL import, proprietary 3DII project format export. C# and C++ implementation.

## Regulatory Identification

A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

## Predicate Devices

- SICAT Function ([K133320](/device/K133320.md))

## Reference Devices

- Dolphin Imaging ([K110430](/device/K110430.md))

Trade/Device Name: DentiqAir Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.2050 Regulation Name: Picture Archiving And Communications System Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: LLZ Dated: November 8, 2019 Received: November 13, 2019

## Dear Sanglok Lee:

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.

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

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); 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 (QS) 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.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
