Intended Use
The Accent Sensor is a digital x-ray sensor system for human and non human use in dental, medical and veterinary applications. It is used to provide instant Xray images, typically of teeth, bone and surrounding tissues. Accent replaces standard X-ray film and/or phosphor plate technology.
Device Description
The X-ray tube (not part of this product) is pointed at the sensor and activated. The X-ray energy is detected by the sensor and transmitted as data to the computer to which it is connected. The software (not part of this product) interprets the image as a gray scale image and displays it on the computer monitor for diagnosis.

No
The summary describes a digital X-ray sensor and associated software for image display, but there is no mention of AI or ML being used for image interpretation, analysis, or any other function. The software is explicitly stated as "not part of this product" and its function is described as basic image interpretation and display.

No
The device is an imaging sensor used to acquire X-ray images for diagnosis, and it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No
The document states the device provides X-ray images which are then used for diagnosis by software and interpreted by a user. The device itself is a detector and data transmitter, not a diagnostic tool that performs the interpretation or decision-making.

No

The device description explicitly states that the product is a "digital x-ray sensor system" and that the "X-ray energy is detected by the sensor and transmitted as data to the computer". This indicates the product includes a physical sensor component, which is hardware, not software. The software is mentioned as a separate component ("not part of this product").

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. The Accent Sensor is an X-ray sensor used to capture images of teeth, bone, and surrounding tissues within the body. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • The description focuses on imaging technology. The device description clearly outlines how the sensor detects X-ray energy and transmits data for image display. This is characteristic of an imaging device, not an IVD.
  • The intended use is for imaging and diagnosis based on those images. The purpose is to provide "instant Xray images" for "diagnosis," which is a function of medical imaging, not in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Accent Sensor falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an IVD.
