The 510(k) summary describes a dental sealant material and its physical properties. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis of data that would suggest the use of AI/ML technology.
No
The device is a sealant used to prevent dental caries, which is a preventive measure rather than a treatment for an existing condition or disease.
No
The device is a pit and fissure sealant, which is a dental material used to seal pits and fissures in teeth. Its function is to prevent cavities, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device is a dental material (sealant) composed of physical substances (resins, fillers) and is 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 to "seal the pits and fissures in teeth." This is a direct treatment or preventative measure applied to the tooth structure itself.
- Device Description: The description details a material (resin) applied to the tooth.
- Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a condition, analyze a sample from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue), or provide information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "teeth," which is an external structure being treated, not a sample being analyzed.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a dental material used for a restorative/preventative procedure.
