Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a dental adhesive luting system and its intended uses. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The performance studies focus on material properties and biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is described as an adhesive luting system for permanent cementation of dental restorations, which is a structural rather than therapeutic function.

No

Explanation: The device is an adhesive luting system used for permanent cementation of dental restorations and a try-in paste for shade matching. Its primary function is not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical material (adhesive luting system) used for cementing dental restorations, not a software product.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the permanent adhesive luting (cementing) of dental restorations (inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns, bridges). This is a procedure performed directly on a patient's teeth.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an adhesive luting system and try-in pastes for shade matching. These are materials used in a dental procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
