The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical, impregnated cord for gingival retraction and hemostasis. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest AI/ML.
No
The device is used for temporary chemo-mechanical retraction of gingival tissues and hemostasis of the gingival margin, which are not therapeutic treatments.
No
The device is used for temporary chemo-mechanical retraction of gingival tissues and hemostasis, which are treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate impregnated cord," which is a physical, hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use of Knit-Pak+ is for temporary chemo-mechanical retraction of gingival tissues and hemostasis of the gingival margin around the tooth. This is a direct application to the patient's tissues, not the examination of a specimen taken from the patient.
- The description focuses on a physical cord with a chemical impregnation. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
The device is a dental material used for a procedural purpose (tissue retraction and hemostasis) during dental procedures.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Knit-Pak+, a prescription-only, Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate impregnated cord is used for temporary chemo-mcchanical retraction of gingival tissues and hemostasis of the gingival margin around the tooth. It is intended for accurate and enhanced results when acquiring dental impressions, for cavity preparation or wherever hemostasis and retraction is required.

There is a logo to the right of the text, which appears to be a geometric shape, possibly a triangle, with some internal patterns or lines. The overall image has a somewhat textured or patterned appearance, possibly due to the font style or the way the image was created.
