The description mentions "Algorithms in the software process these images into a 3D image," which is standard image processing and does not explicitly indicate the use of AI or ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML models.
No
The device is an optical impression system that captures 3D images of teeth and gums for the production of dental appliances; it does not directly treat or diagnose.
No
The device is described as an optical impression system used to record the topographical characteristics of teeth, gingiva, and/or palate for the production of dental appliances. It explicitly states that it is "not used for the design, diagnosis or treatment planning of orthodontic aligners."
No
The device description explicitly states that the Lythos Digital Impression System is an integrated system consisting of both intra-oral wand hardware and PC-based software.
Based on the provided information, the Lythos Digital Impression System 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 the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Lythos Function: The Lythos system's intended use and device description clearly state that it is used to record the topographical characteristics of teeth, gingiva, and palate. It captures the physical shape and structure of these areas.
- No Specimen Analysis: The system does not analyze any biological specimens from the patient. It is purely an imaging device that captures surface data.
- Purpose: The data collected is used for the production of dental appliances, not for diagnosing a disease or condition based on the analysis of biological samples.
In summary, the Lythos Digital Impression System is a medical device used for capturing anatomical data, but it does not perform in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The Lythos Digital Impression System (DIS) is an optical impression system intended for use by dental professionals to record the topographical characteristics of teeth, gingiva, and/or palate or stone models. The Lythos DIS is intended for use in conjunction with the production of orthodontic and restorative dental appliances, including orthodontic aligners.
The Lythos DIS is a point-of-care turnkey imaging system used in the dental industry; the intra-oral wand hardware and personal computer (PC) based software form an integrated system that produces accurate, high resolution three dimensional (3D) digital images. The end result of an intra-oral patient scan is a 3D digital impression data file that accurately describes the surfaces of teeth, gingiva, and palate within a patient's oral cavity, or the surfaces of a stone model.
The system consists of a handheld wand connected to a computer which is housed in a base unit. The computer contains proprietary software to acquire, process, and store the digital 3D image data. Patient information is entered into the software using a touch screen monitor connected to the computer. To capture a 3D image of the patient's dental arch and/or bite, the operator moves the wand along the surface of the teeth to be scanned. A video camera inside the wand captures images of the teeth surfaces. Algorithms in the software process these images into a 3D image and display the 3D image on the computer monitor in real time. The software also saves the 3D image data and identifying patient information to be used by orthodontic or restorative appliance manufacturers to design and manufacture customized appliances. The Lythos DIS device is also equipped with wireless network capability for secure transfer of the 3D image data to the orthodontic or restorative appliance manufacturer.
The Lythos DIS is only used to gather the topography of the mouth and teeth, and to upload the data file (.stl) to the data cloud. The data is available to the licensed dental professional to send to a third party manufacturer. The Lythos DIS .stl data file is used in conjunction with CAD/CAM or 3D printing manufacturing processes. The proposed Lythos DIS is not used for the design, diagnosis or treatment planning of orthodontic aligners.
