No
The summary describes a mechanical dental treatment unit providing basic utilities (air, water, vacuum, electricity) and does not mention any computational or analytical functions that would typically involve AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "dental treatment unit" that provides resources (air, water, vacuum, electricity) to operate other dental tools, rather than directly providing therapy itself. It serves as a base for other dental devices, which may or may not be therapeutic.

No

Explanation: The device description states it is a "self-contained dental treatment unit" designed to operate dental handpieces and serve as a base for other dental devices. Its intended use is for "general dental restorative care and hygiene procedures." There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or capture diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "self-contained dental treatment unit that contains a built in air compressor, vacuum system and water supply," indicating it is a hardware device with physical components.

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 the device is a "self-contained dental treatment unit" designed to "provide air, water, vacuum and electricity to operate various dental handpieces, accessories and attachments" for "general dental restorative care and hygiene procedures." This describes a device used directly on a patient for treatment, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by detailing the components (air compressor, vacuum system, water supply) that support dental procedures performed on a patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), performing tests on specimens, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This dental system does not fit that description.
