The summary describes a dental restorative material, which is a physical substance, and there is no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI/ML.
No
The device is a dental restorative material, which is used to repair or restore teeth, and is not designed to treat a disease or therapeutic condition directly.
No
The device is a restorative material for dental work, not a tool used to diagnose conditions. Its intended uses include repairing, sealing, and layering during composite restorations.
No
The device description is not found, but the intended use clearly describes a "light-curing resin-based flowable dental restorative 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 describes a dental restorative material used directly on the tooth for various dental procedures. This is a therapeutic and restorative application, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.
Therefore, IPS Empress Direct Flow is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a dental restorative material, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
