No
The summary describes a light-cured resin formulation and its intended use for sealing and polishing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The focus is on the chemical properties and performance of the resin itself.

No
This device is a resin formulation used to seal and polish dental surfaces and restorations, which is a restorative and protective function, not a therapeutic one that treats disease or medical conditions.

No
The device, BISCOVER LV, is a resin formulation used to seal and polish dental restorations and enamel. Its intended use is to provide a smooth, polished surface and it does not perform any diagnostic function such as detecting, identifying, or monitoring disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "low-viscosity, light-cured resin formulation," 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: The intended use of BISCOVER LV is to seal and polish dental restorations and enamel. This is a direct application to a patient's teeth for a physical effect (sealing and polishing).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its use as a resin formulation applied to surfaces.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is enamel, which is part of the patient's body, not a sample taken from the body.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. BISCOVER LV does not fit this description.
