No
The description focuses solely on the material composition and intended use of a dental ceramic system, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any AI/ML related terms.

No
Explanation: CeraMax is a dental material used for veneering metal frameworks and copings to prepare crowns and bridges. It is a material used in the creation of prosthetic devices, not a therapeutic device itself.

No

Explanation: The device, CeraMax, is a dental material used for veneering metal frameworks in crowns and bridges, which is a therapeutic or restorative purpose, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that CeraMax is a dental material product composed of various chemical compounds and powders, which are physical substances used in the preparation of crowns and bridges. This indicates 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 is for "veneering of metal framework and copings for the preparation of crowns and bridges." This describes a material used in the fabrication of dental prosthetics, which are devices implanted or placed in the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the chemical composition and forms of a dental material used by dental technicians to create crowns and bridges through a heating process. This is a manufacturing process for a medical device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of this device being used to test samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens to provide diagnostic information. CeraMax is a material used to construct a medical device (a dental prosthesis) that will be used in vivo (in the body).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance Properties Similarities: Both products have essentially the similar firing characteristics including starting temperature, drying time, tinal temperature and requirement of vacuum. They also manufactured, conforming ISO 9693, ISO 6872. These standards specify performance criteria such as physical properties, glass transition temperature, flexural strength and chemical solubility so that the results of performance meet the requirements of the international standard in accordance with ISO 9693 and ISO 6872. Biocompatibility of CeraMax is similar to the legally marketed devices and has not changed to occur adverse effects of biocompatibility. Therefore, it was determined that no additional biocompatibility testing was necessary.
