More Information

No
The summary describes a prefabricated, precision-milled dental bridge made of alumina, with no mention of AI or ML in its design, manufacturing process, or intended use.

Yes
The device is used as a prosthesis to restore chewing function in partially edentulous patients, which is a therapeutic goal.

No

The device is described as a prefabricated core structure for an artificial prosthesis to restore chewing function, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a prefabricated device manufactured from a solid piece of aluminum oxide, indicating it is a physical hardware component, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the Nobel Biocare Procera Bridge Alumina clearly state that it is a prosthetic device intended for placement in the oral cavity to restore chewing function. It is a physical structure, not a tool for analyzing biological samples.

The device is a dental prosthesis, not a diagnostic test.
