More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly state it is a light-curing composite material for core build-up, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a "Tooth shade resin material" for "Restoration where a light-curing composite for core build-up is required," which typically refers to dental filling or restoration material, not a therapeutic device designed to cure or treat a disease or medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "Restoration where a light-curing composite for core build-up is required" and "a device composed of materials such as bisphenol A glycidylmethacrylate (Bis-GMA) intended to be used for core build-up." This indicates it is a therapeutic or restorative device, not one used for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is composed of materials like bisphenol A glycidylmethacrylate (Bis-GMA), which are physical components, 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 for "Restoration where a light-curing composite for core build-up is required." This describes a dental restorative procedure performed directly on a patient's tooth.
  • Device Description: The device is classified as "Tooth shade resin material" and is intended for "core build-up." This further confirms its use in a dental procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any such use or interaction with bodily specimens.

Therefore, based on the provided text, CLEARFIL PHOTO CORE is a dental restorative material, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
