No

The device description clearly states "d.SIGN 59 alloy," indicating a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the d.SIGN 59 alloy is used for creating dental restorations (onlays, crowns, bridges, posts). These are devices used in the mouth for structural and functional purposes.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an alloy, which is a material used in manufacturing.
  • 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) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVDs are specifically designed to perform tests outside the body on biological samples. This device is a material used to create a physical structure within the body.
