No
The summary describes a dental curing light, which is a simple illumination device. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies.

No
The device is used for curing dental materials, which is a functional process rather than a direct treatment or diagnosis of a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "Source of illumination for curing visible light cured dental materials." This function is therapeutic/restorative (curing materials), not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing disease).

No

The intended use describes a device that provides illumination for curing dental materials, which inherently requires a hardware component (a light source). The summary does not mention any software-only functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Source of illumination for curing visible light cured dental materials such as composites, bonding agents, and cements." This describes a device used directly on a patient's dental materials to facilitate a physical process (curing).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVDs are devices used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided description does not mention any of these activities.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a dental device used for treatment, not an IVD used for diagnostic purposes.
