Intended Use
AcceleDent® Aura is intended for use during orthodontic treatment. It is used in conjunction with orthodontic appliances such as braces and helps facilitate minor anterior tooth movement.
Device Description
AcceleDent® Aura is an orthodontic accessory for the treatment of tooth malocclusion. It is used as an adjunctive therapy for patients with orthodontic appliances such as braces to help facilitate tooth movement. AcceleDent® Aura should be used by patients for twenty minutes per day in conjunction with standard orthodontic treatment. AcceleDent® Aura includes the Activator, Mouthpiece and Travel Case. The Activator and connected Mouthpiece are used by patients to provide a light vibration to the teeth – the Activator vibrates at a 0.25 N (25 grams) force level and 30 Hz frequency for 20 minutes when turned-on; the vibration is transmitted from the Activator through the Mouthpiece to the patient's teeth as they lightly bite down on the Mouthpiece. The Activator and Mouthpiece assembly is light, comfortable, hands-free, and can be used while multi-tasking or while engaged in a variety of other daily activities. The Travel Case is an enclosure that may be used to conceal, protect, and keep the AcceleDent® Aura Activator and Mouthpiece clean while not in use. The device includes a USB port, which can connect directly into a computer or power supply to recharge the battery. The USB port can also be connected to a computer to display usage data. A USB Cable and Power Adaptor are included to complete the system.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical vibration and data display, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes

The device is described as an "orthodontic accessory for the treatment of tooth malocclusion" and used as an "adjunctive therapy for patients with orthodontic appliances," indicating its role in providing therapeutic benefit by facilitating tooth movement.

No

The device description clearly states its intended use is to "help facilitate minor anterior tooth movement" as an "adjunctive therapy for patients with orthodontic appliances," not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device includes hardware components such as the Activator, Mouthpiece, Travel Case, USB port, USB Cable, and Power Adaptor.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • AcceleDent® Aura's Function: AcceleDent® Aura is a mechanical device that applies vibration to the teeth to facilitate tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. It interacts directly with the patient's teeth and does not analyze any biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for use during orthodontic treatment to help facilitate tooth movement, not for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, AcceleDent® Aura falls under the category of a medical device, specifically an orthodontic accessory, but not an IVD.
