FDA Disclaimers & Compliance

510(k) Exemption & Device Classification

Many products sold by Dental Medical House are classified as Class I or Class II medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Certain products are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification requirement, meaning they may be legally marketed without FDA clearance. However, exemption from 510(k) does not mean the product is exempt from other FDA requirements, including registration, listing, and quality system regulations where applicable.

510(k) Exempt Products: Products designated as 510(k) exempt include Class I devices that are not implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining, and for which the FDA has determined a 510(k) is not necessary to reasonably assure safety and effectiveness. These products may be legally sold without a 510(k) clearance.

Cleared Products: Where a specific product has received 510(k) clearance, the product page will note this. A 510(k) clearance indicates FDA has found the device to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. It does not constitute an endorsement or approval by the FDA.

Exam Gloves (Class I Medical Device — 510(k) Exempt)

Examination gloves, also known as medical gloves, are classified as Class I medical devices under 21 CFR Part 880.6250 (Patient Examination Gloves) and 21 CFR Part 878.4460 (Surgeons' Gloves). These devices are generally exempt from 510(k) premarket notification requirements pursuant to 21 CFR 880.9 and 21 CFR 878.9, respectively.

Exam gloves are intended for medical purposes, such as patient examination, to protect the wearer and/or the patient from the spread of infection or illness. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Single-use gloves should be discarded after each use and not reused. Examine gloves for defects before use. If gloves are compromised, discontinue use and consult the manufacturer.

Latex Sensitivity: Certain exam gloves contain natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions in latex-sensitive individuals. Products containing latex are labeled accordingly. If you have a known latex allergy, select an alternative glove material such as nitrile or vinyl.

Sterilization Pouches & Wraps (Class II Medical Devices)

Sterilization pouches and wraps are classified as Class II medical devices under 21 CFR Part 880.6850 (Sterilization Packaging Material) and related classifications. These products are used to package medical devices for sterilization and maintain sterility until the package is opened.

Intended Use: Sterilization pouches and wraps are intended to be used to enclose medical devices for sterilization and to maintain the sterility of the enclosed device until used. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.

Proper Use:Follow the sterilization equipment manufacturer's instructions and the product-specific instructions for use regarding cycle parameters, shelf life, and storage conditions. Inspect pouches before use. Do not use if package integrity is compromised.

510(k) Status: The 510(k) exemption status of sterilization packaging materials is subject to the specific intended use claims and design characteristics. Refer to individual product compliance information on the product page.
