Intended Use
The intended use of the dental instrument heater - The Down Pak - is to provide continuous heat and/or vibration at the tip of a dental instrument. The Down Pak is designed for processing gutta percha (softening, spreading, compacting) and cutting plastic handles of obturators during a root canal treatment. The device may only be operated by dentists and endodontists.
Device Description
The device is a battery-operated dental instrument heater which is designed to provide continuous heat and/or vibration at the tip of a dental instrument. The low frequency vibration stimulates the transformation of gutta percha in a solid mass. The temperature is regulated by the type of tip attached to the handpiece and it automatically maintains a preset temperature for consistent results. The cordless handpiece is easily operated by a single button and can be recharged by placing the handpiece in a charger. The tips are autoclavable and the handpiece can be disinfect with 80% alcohol.

No
The description focuses on basic heating and vibration functions with temperature regulation based on tip type, and there is no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used to process gutta percha during a root canal treatment, which is a therapeutic medical procedure performed by dentists and endodontists.

No

The device is described as a dental instrument heater used for processing gutta percha and cutting plastic handles during root canal treatment. Its function is to provide continuous heat and/or vibration, which are therapeutic or procedural actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "battery-operated dental instrument heater" with a "cordless handpiece" and "tips," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Down Pak is a dental instrument heater used directly on the patient during a root canal procedure. It heats and vibrates a dental instrument to manipulate gutta percha within the tooth.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed on the patient, not the analysis of a specimen taken from the patient.

Therefore, the Down Pak is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
