No
The summary describes a traditional dental impression material (alginate) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is used for reproduction of teeth and gums for study and production of restorative prosthetic devices, not for direct therapeutic treatment.

No
The device is used to reproduce the structure of teeth and gums for the production of restorative prosthetic devices, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description "Novel Print Cyan Alginates" and the intended use of reproducing teeth and gums using a preformed impression tray clearly indicate a physical material (alginate) is the primary component, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to reproduce the structure of teeth and gums for study and production of restorative prosthetic devices. This is a mechanical or physical process, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: "Novel Print Cyan Alginates" describes a material used for taking impressions, which is a physical process.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function falls outside of that definition.
