No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of titanium, including implants, abutments, and protection cylinders. It also details sterilization methods for these physical components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a surgical implant designed for placement into the zygomatic bone to restore patient esthetics and chewing function. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not used to test samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests, or any other activity typically associated with IVDs.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
