The summary describes a dental ceramic compound and its intended use in traditional dental restoration techniques. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No.
This device is a dental ceramic compound used for restorations; it does not mention treating or preventing a disease or condition.

No
The text describes HeraCeram Press as a dental ceramic compound used for veneering and restorations like veneers, inlays, onlays, and crowns. This indicates it is a material for treatment or repair, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device is a dental ceramic compound, which 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: The intended use clearly states that HeraCeram Press dental ceramic compound is for creating dental restorations (veneers, inlays, onlays, crowns). This is a material used in the mouth for structural purposes, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a dental material used for restorative purposes, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
