No
The summary describes a dental impression material and provides no information suggesting the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a dental impression material for taking impressions, which is a diagnostic or procedural tool, not a device used for treating a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device, Silgimix™, is described as a dental impression material used for taking impressions. Its stated uses (study models, orthodontic models, etc.) are for creating physical models of anatomical structures, not for diagnosing diseases or conditions.

No

The intended use clearly describes a dental impression material, which is a physical substance, 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 Silgimix™ is a "dental impression material" used for taking impressions for various dental models and temporary crowns. This is a physical process of creating a mold of anatomical structures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in a sample
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition based on sample analysis.

Dental impression materials are considered medical devices, but they fall under a different regulatory category than IVDs. They are used to create a physical representation of a patient's anatomy, not to perform diagnostic tests on biological samples.
