No

The device description explicitly states "LightSpeed Cordless Endodontic Handpiece," which is a hardware device. The intended use also describes a physical action (delivering rotary root canal preparation treatment, polishing outside of teeth) performed by a handpiece.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • This device is used directly on the patient's teeth and root canals for treatment (preparation and polishing). It is a therapeutic and procedural device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes biological samples.

The intended use and device description clearly indicate it's a tool for performing dental procedures, not for analyzing biological specimens.
