No
The summary describes a dental casting alloy and its physical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

No.
The device is a casting alloy used for dental restorations like inlays, onlays, and crowns, which are structural components and not directly involved in treating or alleviating a disease or medical condition.

No

This device is described as a casting alloy for dental restorations (inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, removable partials), which are used to repair or replace missing tooth structure. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "yellow casting alloy" and a "platinum-free crown and bridge alloy," indicating it is a physical material, 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 for dental restorations (inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, removable partials). This is a structural material used in the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a casting alloy for dental applications.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device clearly falls outside of that definition.
