Device Description
Avante Micro Crystal System is a porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorative system to be layered on conventional PFM alloys to make crowns and multiple-unit bridges. The porcelains can also be used with refractory or foil to create veneer restorations. The composition of Avante Porcelain is similar to that of Synspar Porcelain, K910303. The composition of Available of Avante was adjusted in Avante Porcelain to result in a lower firing temperature compared to Synspar. However, the actual list of chemical compounds present in Avante is similar to that of Synspar.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the material composition and intended use of a dental restorative system, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a restorative system for making crowns and bridges, which are used to restore the function or appearance of teeth. It is a dental material, not a therapeutic device designed to treat or prevent a disease or condition.

No
The device is a restorative system (porcelain for crowns and bridges), not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorative system," which are physical materials used in dental restorations, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is clearly described as a "porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorative system" for creating dental crowns, bridges, and veneers. This is a restorative dental material used in the mouth to repair or replace teeth.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a dental porcelain system for layering on metal alloys or using with refractory/foil.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze biological samples. This device is used inside the body as a dental restoration.
