No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other terms typically associated with AI/ML technology in medical devices. The description is minimal and focuses solely on the intended use for dental restorations.

No
The intended use describes the reconstruction of dental restorations, which is a restorative rather than a therapeutic (treating disease or illness) function.

No
The intended use is "Reconstruction of porcelain to metal dental restorations/reconstruction of dental restorations," which describes a treatment or restorative function, not a diagnostic one.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary is incomplete and lacks crucial information about the device description. Without knowing the nature of the device and how it achieves its intended use, it's impossible to determine if it's software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Reconstruction of porcelain to metal dental restorations/reconstruction of dental restorations." This describes a process performed on dental materials outside of the human body, specifically for the purpose of repairing or rebuilding dental prosthetics.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition.
    • Being used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The described device clearly falls outside of this definition.
