Intended Use
Porta Solder 1090 W is intended for use as a solder before firing in operations in which dental ceramic alloy(s) parts are joined to form a dental restoration. It should be used only together with recommended dental alloys with suitable melting ranges and compositions
Device Description
Porta Solder 1090 W is a dental brazing alloy, that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances for patients. It is a white alloy with high contents of precious metals (Gold, Palladium, Iridium and Silver: 95,5%). Porta Solder 1090 W is suitable for use as a filler material in operations in which dental alloy(s) parts are joined to form a dental restoration, e.g. bridges. It is intended as solder before firing for ceramic dental alloys with appropriate melting ranges and compositions, especially Euro 50, which is manufactured by Wieland Dental + Technik GmbH & Co. KG, Germany. Porta Solder 1090 W is highly corrosion resistant. It fully complies to the international standard ISO 9333 and fulfills the essential requirements of the European directive 93/42/ECC concerning medical devices.

No
The device description is for a dental brazing alloy and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is a dental brazing alloy used to join dental alloy parts to form a dental restoration, which is a manufacturing material rather than a therapeutic treatment.

No
The device is described as a dental brazing alloy, a material used for fabrication of dental appliances, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a dental brazing alloy, which is a physical material used in dental restorations. It is 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 to join dental ceramic alloy parts to form a dental restoration using a solder. This is a process performed outside the human body to create a medical device (a dental restoration).
  • Device Description: The device is a dental brazing alloy used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances. It's a material used in the manufacturing process of a medical device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of this device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to diagnose or monitor medical conditions. This device is a material used in the creation of a dental prosthesis, which is a medical device itself, but the solder itself is not performing a diagnostic function.
